(Issued December 19, 2008)
On November 26, 2008, Frontier Communications of Iowa, Inc. (Frontier, Inc.),
filed with the Utilities Board (Board) a notice of corporate name change to Frontier
Communications of Iowa, LLC (Frontier, LLC). Also on November 26, 2008, Frontier,

the exchanges in which Frontier, LLC, intends to provide local service. The proposed
tariff has been identified as TF-08-202.
Frontier, Inc., states that it is converting from a corporation to a limited liability
company pursuant to Iowa Code § 490A.304. Frontier, Inc., states that the

conversion does not meet the standards for Board review of company
reorganizations pursuant to 199 IAC chapter 32 and requests that the Board approve
its proposed replacement tariff and issue an amended certificate that reflects the
corporate name change.
