  Northern proposes to restructure residential and business local individual line rates, establishing common rates of $17.45 and $38.65, respectively. In addition, a multi-line service rate of $38.65 is proposed for Rate Groups 3 to 5.
  Northern stated that the revenues generated from the rate restructuring will be used in their entirety to fund a switching equipment modernization program to be completed by the end of 1999.
