The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that GCI Communications Corp. d/b/a General Communication, Inc., d/b/a GCI (GCI) filed tariff revision TA576-489, proposing to remove the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) Refund Credit in the Matanuska-Susitna serving area from its tariff. The RTB Refund Credit was established by Commission Order No. U-06-085(12), which required Matanuska Telephone Association, Inc.
