A Letter About Telephone Rates...

Jury 8. 1981
The Horxxabte John J. Lobdeil
Oregon Public Utility Comrnssoner
Labor and Industries BkJg., Room 300
Saem, Oregon 97310
Dear Mr. Lobdel:
This letter is to advise you of Pacific Northwest Bell's need for additional revenues to offset three
costs of doing business.
First, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), recognizing competition in the
teleccninrKjnications industry, has ordered changes in methods of accounting for the recovery of
capital investment. These and other forthcoming changes account for about $25 million, nearly
one-ihird of the required increase.
Second, PNB's labor contracts require wage increases which include inflation adjustments of
approximately $15 million.
Finally; the costs to obtain capital necessary to serve the telecommunications needs of our
customers have increased significantly, as reflected in higher interest rates. The revenue required to
cover this cost is about $40 million.
The total required revenue increase is approximately $80 million or about a 19 percent increase in
our gross annual revenues.
To offset these higher costs, PNB is considering certain rate increases. For example.
An increase in Residence and Business access line rates-what customers know as the
monthly telephone service charge. It has been six years since these rates were raised.
An increase in certain competitive business equipment rates to fully cover their costs.
An increase in the rate for local caHs from coin phones, pending the outcome of the
experiment currently being conducted in two areas to measure customer response to a
higher rate.
The impact of any increases would vary depending upon a customer's specific equipment and
services. Any increases will be more in line with actual costs, a necessity in our competitive industry.
An increase in revenues is essential if we are to continue providing good quality
teiecorrriTuntcations services for our customers of today and tomorrow.
We are providing you and your staff with documentation supporting the above revenue
requirements. Should the public wish such information they may write:

The Soviet Union faced low

large amounts of U.S. grain at
