17         (7)  Prior to July 1, 1999, the parties may negotiate a

18  new local interconnection charge to be effective not earlier

19  than July 1, 1999.  If the parties cannot satisfactorily

20  negotiate a new local interconnection charge, either party may

21  petition the commission to resolve the matter.  In the event

22  any party, prior to July 1, 1999, believes that circumstances

23  have changed substantially to warrant a different price for

24  local interconnection, that party may petition the commission

25  for a price change, but the commission shall grant such

26  petition only after an opportunity for a hearing and a

27  compelling showing of changed circumstances, including that

28  the provider's customer population includes as many

29  residential as business customers.  The commission shall act

30  on any such petition within 120 days.
