The proposed reply brief, directed to both the objection of the Tennessee Regulatory Authority ("TRA") [Doc. # 27] and the response of the RLECs [Doc. # 28] (collectively the "Responses") and is attached as Exhibit A.

The "RLECs" are Intervening Defendants Concord Telephone Exchange, Inc.; Humphries County Telephone Co.; Tellico Telephone Company; Tennessee Telephone Company; Crockett Telephone Company, Inc.; Peoples Telephone Company; West Tennessee Telephone Company, Inc.; North Central Telephone Coop., Inc.; and Highland Telephone Cooperative, Inc.
