Ore. DOJ Seeks More Time for Lumen Price Plan Pact

Parties want until Sept. 1 to file another status report on negotiations to reach agreement on a successor price plan for Lumen’s CenturyLink, Oregon DOJ said Thursday (docket UM 1908). An Oregon PUC administrative law judge sought an update by July’s end (see 2307120013). “The parties have been working together in good faith to resolve the issues in this docket and have made meaningful progress towards settlement,” wrote Oregon Assistant Attorney General Natascha Smith: Parties aim to reach agreement without a hearing before the Sept. 28 expiration of the current price plan.
