Service Extension Policy
15.1 General: On all new extensions of service either within or without the initial rate area, the
Telephone Company may require an advance revenue deposit in a sum not to exceed the
aggregate of one year s local exchange revenue plus applicable Federal and State taxes on such
revenue. The amount so deposited shall be detennined on the rates for the class and type of
service furnished to the applicant, plus the applicable taxes in effect at the time the deposit is
made. The amount of said deposit shall be applied monthly in payment of exchange service and
all taxes thereon until exhausted, beginning with the first bill to the applicant. In the event the
rates for the class and type of service or taxes in effect at the time the deposit is made should be
changed, the monthly charge shall be adjusted from time to time, in keeping with the changed
rates and taxes. In the event service is discontinued for any cause prior to the exhaustion of the
said deposit, no refund will be made, but on proper application the Telephone Company will
transfer the unused portion of the deposit to another customer in the same location.
15.2 Within the Initial Rate Area: The Telephone Company, subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 2.15.1 above, and the installation or connection charge, assumes the
obligation to supply telephone service within the initial rate area and will extend its
facilities to applicants for service within said area. The Telephone Company reserves the
right, depending on the facilities available, to determine the type of service to be
supplied, either from its existing facilities or from additional facilities. When circuitous
routing or special type of construction such as underground service, concealed wiring,
etc., are provided at the customer s request, in place of facilities which would ordinarily
be provided without construction charges to the customer, the excess cost of such
special construction will be borne by the customer.

Call Trace *(T)
This feature enables the customer to initiate an automatic trace of the last call
received.
Upon activation by the customer, the network automatically sends a message to
Century Telephone of Idaho, Inc. (never the customer) indicating the calling and
called numbers, the time the call was received , and the time the trace was
activated. The customer using this feature is required to contact the local
telephone company business office for further action. Under no circumstances
will the customer be given the traced number. The results of a trace will be
furnished only to legally constituted authorities upon proper request by them.
This feature will not work if the incoming call is from a telephone number in a
multi-line hunt group, unless the telephone number is the main telephone number
in the hunt group. A traced call from a multi-line hunt group will result in the main
billing number being recorded , rather than the directory number of the individual
group member.
If the customer receives another call after hanging up from the annoying call
prior to activating the trace , Call Trace *57 will not record the correct number.(T)
(T)Call Trace *57 provides the directory number of the last incoming call. If the
malicious call is interrupted by a waited call prior to trace activation, the waited
call directory number is considered the last incoming call and is traced.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES PRIORITY (N)
Description of the Service
The TSP System is a service that provides for the priority provisioning and/or restoration of
National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunications services. The TSP
System applies only to NSEP services, includes local exchange service, Foreign Exchange
Service, and Private Line Service and Channels, and provides the Telephone Company with a
guide to the sequence in which services are to be provisioned and/or restored.
All facilities that can be identified by a unique circuit identifier can be provisioned for TSP
service by the Telephone Company.
Obtaininq TSP System Service
The Executive Office of the President through the TSP Program Office, is empowered with the
authority to receive , evaluate and process requests for TSP services. The TSP Program Office
makes the priority level assignments and issues the TSP authorization code reflecting the
priority assignment associated with a request. The customer provides the TSP authorization
code , in addition to all the other details necessary to complete the order to the Telephone
Company to obtain TSP System service.
The TSP authorization code, assigned on a per order basis , consists of a 12-character field
consisting of a nine-character controllD followed by a dash and a two-character field specifying
the priority level assignment. Its structure is as follows:
TSPxxxxxn-
The "s represent a sequence of numbers unique to each TSP authorization code and the "
is a one character alphanumeric check digit. The first "" contains the provisioning priority level
assignment and the second "" contains the restoration priority level assignment.(N)

TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES PRIORITY (Continued)(N)
Provisioninq Priority
If the customer requires service within a shorter time interval than the Telephone Company can
provide, and the requested service qualifies for TSP , the customer may elect to invoke National
Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) Treatment and obtain the appropriate provisioning
priority assignment from the TSP Program Office. Acceptable assignment code values are: E
, 2 , 3, 4, 5 and
The assignment of the value "E" denotes Emergency Provisioning and implies the service has
the most critical provisioning requirements and the Telephone Company will respond
accordingly. The Telephone Company will take immediate action to provide the requested
service at the earliest possible date.
The assignment values of 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 are treated as essential service priorities and the
Telephone Company will adjust its available resources to meet the customer s requested due
date. The value "0" implies no provisioning priority.
Restoration Priority
A TSP authorization code for restoration priority classifies the service as being among the
nation s most important NSEP telecommunications services. The Telephone Company will
restore these services before services without restoration priority assignments in the order of
priority assignments. Acceptable values are: 1 5 or 0 with the value "1" being the
highest priority.
When the Telephone Company recognizes a TSP as being out of service, unusable or receives
a trouble report, available resources will be dispatched to restore the service as quickly as
practicable. A priority value of 1 , 2, or 3 requires dispatch outside normal business hours if
necessary to restore the service. A priority value of 4 or 5 only requires dispatch outside of
normal business hours if the next business day is more than 24 hours away. If the value "0" has
been assigned, then no restoration priority is applicable to this service.
The minimum period for service is one month.(N)

Obliqations of the Customer
In all instances, the customer is responsible for obtaining the appropriate TSP authorization
code and providing that code to the Telephone Company.
The TSP System service customer must also be the customer for the facilities with which TSP
service is associated. Only the customer is allowed to order TSP System service.
All points of a multipoint service configuration must have the same restoration priority
assignment and must satisfy the requirements of that assignment. In obtaining TSP System
service, the customer consents to the release of certain information by the Telephone Company
to the federal government in order to maintain and administer the TSP System. Such
information includes: the customer s name, telephone number and mailing address, the TSP
authorization code and the circuit or service ID number associated with the National Security
Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) service.
When a customer invokes TSP Treatment, the Telephone Company will attempt to notify the
customer of expected charges. However, the customer when invoking TSP Treatment must
recognize that quoting charges beforehand may not be practicable. Therefore, the customer
grants the Telephone Company the right to quote and bill charges after the provisioning of the
service.
During certain emergencies, the customer may request TSP assignments verbally and the
Telephone Company will accept such verbal notification. The customer must submit a written
order to the Telephone Company within two working days following the verbal request. If the
written order is not received within two working days, all applicable rates and charges
accumulated to date to provision TSP System service, become immediately due and payable
and the requested TSP priority is revoked.
The customer must request and justify revalidation of all priority level assignments at least every
two years as required by the TSP Program Office.
Additionally, the NCS Manual 3-
, "
Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System for
National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) Service User Manual", dated May 5,2000

B.General
1.Definition
a.9-1-1 is the three-digit telephone number designated throughout the United States as the
emergency telephone number to be used by the public to obtain law enforcement, medical,
fire, rescue, and other emergency services.
b.9-1-1 Service enables a caller dialing 9-1-1 from a station with access to the local exchange
telephone network, arranged to provide 9-1-1 Service, to be automatically connected to the
appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). A PSAP is the communications facility,
designated for a specific territory, to which 9-1-1 calls are routed for response. The
Service, including non-regulated components, may be provided from any one of the
following two categories:
1)B9-1-1 (or Basic 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP but
provides no information about the location or telephone number of the caller.
2)C9-1-1 (or ANI-only 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and
provides the calling telephone number (through automatic number identification or
ANI) to the PSAP attendant who answers the call. C9-1-1 Service is comprised of
B9-1-1 Service plus ANI spill.
3)E9-1-1 (or Enhanced 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and
provides the calling telephone number and address, and may also provide the name
of the telephone access line subscriber and the names of the Emergency Response
Agencies with responsibility for the caller's location. E9-1-1 will provide a PSAP with
the location of the billing or lead telephone number in cases where a nonregulated
telecommunication service provider (e.g., Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Shared
Tenant Service (STS), etc.) has failed to provide the customer with their subscribers'
names, addresses, and telephone numbers. E9-1-1 Service is comprised of C9-1-1
Service plus ALI provisioning.(N)

4)Third Party Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) Connectivity - This service provides
access to a non-Company controlled database to retrieve information for a given call
emergency assistance. Upon receipt of a call at the PSAP location, a request is
forwarded through the ANI/ALI Controller that first queries a Company-controlled
database for specific caller information via a full period data circuit. If the information
is unavailable with the Company-controlled database, software "broadcasts" a
request for data through a Frame Relay network to Third Party-controlled databases
to retrieve the data. Third Party FRAD Connectivity is composed of the two below
components.
a)FRAD Access establishes a Frame Relay connection at the Central Office as
well as whatever data circuits are needed to gain access to the Frame Relay
network provider. Data connectivity to the Third Party Frame Relay service is
additional and must be coordinated by the Customer requiring service. The
third Party record provider must provide the 56k circuit.
b)Steerable ALI Software is required for each Competitive Local Provider (CLP)
or Wireless vendor or their agent for each Company-controlled database
platform to which a Non-Call Associated Signaling (NCAS) connection is
required. Steerable ALI is a Software product that provides a means of
"broadcasting" a request for data across all active channels to retrieve the
proper ANI/ALI information for a given request.(N)

establishing a path that is not in the dedicated 9-1-1 network, such as routing via the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or cellular radio. The components
offered in this tariff include terminating telephone network equipment and cellular
radio transceivers.
2)The Alternate Network Routing Service path is actuated upon a signal reporting that
a dedicated 9-1-1 network path is not available to handle a call. Thus, the call may
be alternate network routed upon loss of a dedicated 9-1-1 trunk, failure of an
intermediate central office in the dedicated 9-1-1 network path to the PSAP, or
network overload such as All Trunks Busy (ATB).(N)

1)Requirement Criteria - Regarding ALI, the Company has obligations to meet the
requirements of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (18 USC 2703),
to take prudent action to protect the privacy expectations of its subscribers. The
Company also has a common business need to protect its customer lists from
unauthorized resale and protect its internal databases from hacking. When the
company or another regulated telecommunications service provider provides the ALI
controller services to a PSAP, those requirements are met by the direct control that
the Company or other regulated provider retains over the ALI software and therefore
over the ALI database. However, when a non-regulated provider of customer
premises equipment (CPE) provides the PSAP ALI controller equipment, DMARCS
is required as a replacement step in the ALI provisioning process to protect the
Company and its subscribers. In downloading ALI to an on-premises computer,
DMARCS replaces direct dialing to the Company's Database Management System
with direct dialing to a protected database system.(N)

Customer to provide in accordance with that offering elsewhere in this tariff.
3)Customer Obligations - Because the Company will entrust the Customer to protect
the Company's proprietary database, the Customer is required to meet the following
obligations:
a)The computer which will hold the ALI database must be maintained in a
physically secure area, accessible only to authorized personnel.
b)The E9-1-1 software with control over the ALI database must:
(1)be on a computer that is operable only from terminals that are located
within premises that require authorized access.
(2)have individual password requirements to access to the database. That
is, no individual may be allowed to use another individual's password
and that without the password, access to the database is denied.
(3)allow access to the ALI to retrieve a record only in response to a 9-1-1
call, with the exception that the 9-1-1 Customer's DMARCS
Administrator may access the database for DMARCS operation, quality
control or accuracy validation purposes. Manual retrievals by

b.Service provisioning is dependent upon the type and configuration of the 9-1-1 network that
is in place for the service area.
1)Private Switch to serving Central Office: The basic requirement is to treat the
Private Switch as if it were a Central Office, so that dedicated PS 9-1-1 Service
trunks are required from the Private Switch to its serving Central Office. There
must be a minimum of two PS 9-1-1 Service trunks or a quantity that will provide a
minimum of P.01 Transmission Grade of Service, whichever is the higher standard.
The cost for this local loop connection is the responsibility of the PS Provider for
each Private Switch owned or controlled by the PS Provider. The PS Provider is
also responsible for monitoring the performance of the PS 9-1-1 Service Trunks, by
conducting manual operational tests, from the Private Switch to the PSAP. Any PS
9-1-1 Service Trunks found to be defective shall be immediately reported to the

g.Sublocation information: The PS Provider is responsible for assigning and maintaining
current the Sublocation information in the PS End User ALI record. This Sublocation
information will be stored in the 20-character Location Field in the ALI format.
h.PS 9-1-1 Service information consisting of the name, address and telephone number of the
PS End Users is confidential. The PS End User forfeits the privacy afforded by nonlisted
and nonpublished service to the extent that the telephone number, the address and name
associated with the originating station location are furnished to the PSAP and to the
Company. The PS End User (with published, nonlisted or nonpublished numbers)
consents to the storage and retention of PS End User's name, telephone number and
address in the database and also consents to access to this information by the PSAP and
Emergency Response Agencies to which the call may be transferred for the sole purpose
of responding to an emergency call.
i.The rates charged for PS 9-1-1 Service do not include, and the Company does not
undertake, the tasks of inspection or constant monitoring to discover errors, defects and
malfunctions in the service. The 9-1-1 Customer has the responsibility for reporting all
known errors, defects and malfunctions to the Company. For example, if an attendant at
the 9-1-1 Customer's PSAP learns from a 9-1-1 caller that the caller's address is not correct
as is displayed in the ALI, that attendant must initiate action to notify the Company of the
discrepancy. The 9-1-1 Customer and the Company will jointly establish procedures to
facilitate this notification procedure.
j.Cancellation of the service in whole or in part by the PS Provider prior to establishment
thereof, will require payment to the Company of an amount equal to the cost of
engineering, manufacturer's billing resulting from equipment orders, installation, assembly,
labor, cost of removal and any other costs incurred by the Company up to the time of
cancellation resulting from the customer's order for service.(N)
