1Opinion of the Court

Josephine Linker Hart, Judge.

In this appeal, we review the Arkansas Public Service Commission’s interpretation of a part of Act 77 of 1997, the Telecommunications Regulatory Reform Act of 1997, codified at Ark. Code Ann. §§ 23-17-401— 412 (Supp. 1997). Twenty-six incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), sixteen of which are the appellants herein, filed a motion to have the Commission vacate Order No. 7 of Docket No. 93-142-U. The Commission refused and assessed civil sanctions against the appellants for knowingly violating Act 77 and other Commission orders. We find no error and affirm.
