Kentucky Bell South Price Regulation Plan
This audit was conducted in response to Order 94-121, in which the Commission stated its intention to perform a focused management and operations review in the fourth year of Bell South-Kentucky’s (BST-KY) Price Regulation Plan (PRP). In the Case No. 94-121 (Order) dated July 1995, the Commission authorized BST to operate under a price regulation plan (PRP). The PRP was structured to satisfy five broad objectives:

|
Maintain minimum BST service quality standards. |
|
Provide BST with incentives to continue investing in new technologies and services to satisfy customer demands. |
|
Allow BST to focus its efforts on enhancing productivity and efficiency of its operations. |
