(C) Orders for Feature Group A Switched Access Service shall be in lines.
Orders for Feature Group B Switched Access Service shall be in trunks.
When an office is scheduled to be converted to equal access, the IC
must place an order for FGD service no later than 120 days prior to the
end office equal access conversion date in order for the IC to participate
in the presubscription process.
In the event a shortage of FGD resources exists, the Telephone
Company will make every reasonable effort to meet all access service
requests as of the equal access conversion date. In the event these
efforts are unsuccessful, the Telephone Company will notify all ICs
requesting FGD service that a shortage of facilities exists and allocation
of available facilities among participating ICs is necessary.
The available resources are determined by the Telephone Company and
represent the equipment and facility quantities necessary to provide FGD
service, excluding intraLATA FGC and interLATA FGC terminating
resources currently in service. If the interLATA FGC trunks are arranged
to carry two-way traffic, one half will be considered available resources.
FGD resources are allocated to each IC based on the percent of end
users that are presubscribed to that IC as counted 30 days prior to the
conversion date. For

example, if 10% of end users in an end office scheduled to be converted
to equal access are presubscribed to a particular IC, 10% of the total
available FGD services will be allocated to that IC.
The quantity of resources in service for each IC as determined by the
allocation process will be adjusted on the basis of actual usage and
blocking measurements. Actual usage adjustments will be made within
90 days after conversion to equal access. If necessary, this reallocation
process will continue at three-month intervals until all initial service
requests have been met.
An Access Service Request (ASR) is required from the customer to add
1+ coin traffic from an end office. At the customer's option, the ASR can
be issued at a 1+ coin tandem or end office level. For an initial customer
order at a 1+ coin tandem, the Telephone Company must receive the
request at least 120 calendar days prior to the requested effective date.
Standard provisioning intervals will apply to subsequent orders involving
that 1+ coin tandem.

consecutive twenty business day period by 20. This computation shall be performed for
each end office the customer wishes to serve. These determinations thus establish the
forecasted BHMC for each end office.
BHMCs are differentiated by type and directionality of traffic carried over a Switched Access
Service arrangement. Differentiation of traffic among BHMC types is necessary for the
Telephone Company to properly design Switched Access Service to meet the traffic
carrying capacity requirement of the customer.
There are two major BHMC categories identified as Originating and Terminating.
Originating BHMCs represent access capacity within a LATA for carrying traffic from the
end user to the customer; Terminating BHMCs represent access capacity within a LATA for
carrying traffic from the customer to the end user. When ordering capacity for FGC Access
or FGD Access, the customer must at a minimum specify such access capacity in terms of
Originating BHMCs and/or Terminating BHMCs.
Because some customers will wish to further segregate their originating traffic into separate
trunk groups, Originating BHMCs are further categorized into Domestic, 800, 900, Operator,
and IDDD. Domestic BHMCs represent access capacity for carrying only domestic traffic
other than 800, 900 and Operator traffic; IDDD BHMCs represent access capacity for
carrying only international traffic; and, 800, 900 and Operator BHMCs represent access
capacity for carrying, respectively, only 800, 900 or Operator traffic. When ordering such
types of access capacity, the customer must specify Domestic, 800, 900, Operator or IDDD
BHMCs.

ACCESS SERVICE
7. SPECIAL ACCESS SERVICE
7.1 General
Special Access Service provides a transmission path to connect customer designated
premises*, either directly or through a Telephone Company Hub where bridging or
multiplexing functions are performed. Special Access Service includes all exchange access
not utilizing Telephone Company end office switches.
The connections provided by Special Access Service can be either analog or digital.
Analog connections are differentiated by spectrum and bandwidth. Digital connections are
differentiated by bit rate.
Certain Special Access Services listed in this section of the Price List may not be currently
offered in all Telephone Company locations but may be provided upon customer request,
on an individual case basis, if facilities can be made available with reasonable effort. The
Telephone Company will work cooperatively with the Customer to provide the service on a
timely basis.
7.1.1 Circuit Types
There are nine types of circuits used to provide Special Access Services. Each
type has its own characteristics. All are subdivided by one or more of the
following:
- Transmission specifications,
- Bandwidth,
- Speed (i.e., bit rate),
- Spectrum
Customers can order a basic circuit and select from a list of available
transmission parameters and channel interfaces those that they desire to meet
specific communications requirements.
* Telephone Company Centrex CO-like switches are considered to be customer premises for
purposes of this Price List.

7.1.1 Circuit Types (Cont'd)
For purposes of ordering circuits, each has been identified as a type of Special
Access Service. However, such identification is not intended to limit a
customer's use of the circuit nor to imply that the circuit is limited to a particular
use. For example, if a customer's equipment is capable of transmitting voice
over a circuit that is identified as a Metallic Service in this Price List, there is no
restriction against doing so.
Following is a brief description of each type of channel:
- Metallic - a circuit for the transmission of low speed varying signals at
rates up to 30 baud.
- Telegraph Grade - a circuit for the transmission of binary signals at rates
of 0 to 75 baud or 0 to 150 baud.
- Voice Grade - a circuit for the transmission of analog signals within an
approximate bandwidth of 300 to 3000 Hz.
- Program Audio - a circuit for the transmission of audio signals. The
nominal frequency bandwidths are from 50 to 15000 Hz, from 200 to
3500 Hz, from 100 to 5000 Hz or from 50 to 8000 Hz.
- Video - a circuit for the transmission of standard 525 line 60 field
monochrome or National Television Systems Committee color video
signal and one or two associated 5 or 15 kHz audio signals. The
bandwidth is either 30 Hz to 4.5 MHz or 30 Hz to 6.6 MHz.

designated premiss is the serving wire center from which this customer
designated premises would normally obtain dial
tone.
Mileage is shown in 7.4 following in terms of mileage bands. To determine the
rate to be billed, first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinates method,
as set forth in Section 14 of this Price List, then find the band into which the
computed mileage falls and apply the rate shown for that band. When the
calculation results in a fraction of a mile, always round up to the next whole
mile before determining the mileage band and applying the rates.
When hubs are involved, mileage is computed and rates applied separately for
each of the Circuit Mileage, i.e., customer designated premises serving wire
center to hub, hub to hub and/or hub to customer designated premises serving
wire center. However, when any service is routed though a hub for purposes
other than customer specified bridging or multiplexing (e.g., the Telephone
Company chooses to so route for test access purposes), rates will be applied
only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated
with the customer designated premises.
When more than one Telephone Company is involved in the provision of
Special Access Service, the mileage for the Circuit Mileage rate element for
each Telephone Company is calculated as set forth in Section 2.4.7(A)(3)(b)
preceding.

7.3.5 Facility Hubs
A customer has the option of ordering Voice Grade facilities or analog or digital
high capacity facilities (i.e., Group, Supergroup, Mastergroup, DS1, DS1C,
DS2, DS3 or DS4) to a facility hub for channelizing to individual services
requiring lower capacity facilities (e.g., Telegraph, Voice, Program Audio, etc.).
Different locations may be designated as hubs for different facility capacities,
e.g., multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one location, while
mutliplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different location. When
placing an Access Order the customer will specify the desired hub. Section 14
of this Price List identifies serving wire centers, hub locations and the type of
multiplexing functions available.
Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following:
- from higher to lower bit rate
- from higher to lower bandwidth
- from digital to voice frequency circuits
End to end services may be provided on circuits of these facilities to a hub.
The transmission performance for the end to end service provided between the
customer designated premises will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate. For
example, when a 1.544 Mbps facility is multiplexed to voice

frequency circuits, the transmission performance of the channelized services
will be Voice Grade, not High Capacity.
The Telephone Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the facility
to the hub on the date specified by the customer on the Access Order.
Individual services utilizing these facilities may be installed coincident with the
installation of the facility to the hub or may be ordered and/or installed at a later
date, at the option of the customer. The customer will be billed for a Voice
Grade or a High Capacity analog or digital Circuit Termination, Circuit Mileage
(when applicable), and the multiplexer at the time the facility is installed.
Individual service rates (by service type) will apply for a Circuit Termination and
additional Circuit Mileage (as required) for each channelized service. These
will be billed to the customer as each individual service is installed.
Cascading multiplexing occurs when a high capacity analog or digital circuit is
de-multiplexed to provide circuits with a lesser capacity and one of the lesser
capacity circuits is further de-multiplexed. For example, a Supergroup facility is
de-multiplexed to five Group facilities and then one of the Group facilities is
further de-multiplexed to individual Voice Grade circuits.

multiplexing is performed at different hubbing locations, Circuit Mileage charges
also apply between the hubs.
Although not requiring multiplexing, the Telephone Company will designate
certain hubs for Video and Program Audio Services. Full-time service will be
provided between a customer designated premises and a hub and billed
accordingly at the monthly rates set forth in Section 20 for a Circuit
Termination, Optional Features and Functions, and Circuit Mileage, as
applicable. The customer may order part-time and occasional Program Audio
services as needed between that hub and a second customer designated
premises. The rate elements required to provide the part-time or occasional
service (i.e., Circuit Termination, Optional Features and Functions and Circuit
Mileage, as applicable) will be billed at daily rates for the duration of the service
requested.

7.3.6 Shared Use Analog and Digital High Capacity Services
Shared use occurs when Special Access Service and Switched Access Service
are provided over the same Wideband Analog or High Capacity facilities
through a common interface. The facility will be ordered, provided and rated as
Special Access Service (i.e., Circuit Termination, Circuit Mileage, as
appropriate, and Multiplexer). The nonrecurring charge that applies when the
shared use facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charge associated with
the appropriate Special Access, Wideband Analog or High Capacity Circuit
Termination. Individual service (i.e., Switched or Special Access) nonrecurring
charges will not apply to the individual circuits of shared use facility. Rating as
Special Access will continue until such time as the customer chooses to use a
portion of the available capacity for providing Switched Access Service. As
each individual circuit is activated for Switched Access Service, the Special
Access Circuit Termination and Circuit Mileage rates will be reduced
accordingly (e.g., 1/12th for a Group [i.e., WA1] service, 1/24th for a DS1
service, etc.). The customer must place an order for each individual Switched
or Special Access Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities and specify the
channel assignment for each such service.
Switched Access Service rates and charges as set forth in Section 20
preceding will apply for each circuit of the shared use facility that is used to
provide a Switched Access Service.

8. SPECIAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCESS SERVICES
8.1 General
This section covers Special Access Services that are provided to a customer for use only
by agencies or branches of the Federal Government and other users authorized by the
Federal Government. Services provided to state emergency operations centers are
included. These services provide for command and control communications, including
communications for national security, emergency preparedness and presidential
requirements. They are required to assure continuity of Government in emergency and
crisis situations and to provide for national security.
Services for command and control communications and for national security and
emergency preparedness sometimes require short notice and short duration service
provisions. These provisions are especially needed to meet presidential requirements or in
response to natural, man-made or declared emergencies. Requirements of this type
cannot be forecasted and are usually needed for a relatively short period. The provision of
service under these conditions may require the availability of facilities, such as portable
microwave equipment, which are provided on a temporary basis by the Telephone
Company or customer.
8.2 Emergency Conditions
These services will be provided on the date requested or as soon as possible thereafter
when the emergency falls into one of the following categories:
- State of crisis declared by the National Command Authorities (includes
commitments made to the National Communications System in the "National
Plan for Emergencies and Major Disasters").

(3) Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to preempt one or more
customer services with a lower or no TSP in order to install or restore
higher priority NSEP telecommunications service(s). If such
preemption is necessary, and if circumstances permit, the Utility will
make reasonable effort to notify the preempted customer of the action
to be taken. Credit allowance for such service preemption shall be
made, in accordance with the provisions specified elsewhere in the
Utility’s Tariff.
(4) In obtaining TSP System, the customer acknowledges and consents
to the Utility providing customer service record information to the

(E) IC CIC Consolidation
IC requests to consolidate multiple CICs (Carrier Identification Codes)
will be subject to an IC CIC Consolidation Charge. This charge is only
assessed when all lines or trunks associated with the former CIC(s) are
changed on a one-time realignment basis within the Telephone
Company's databases at a nationwide level to a single existing CIC.
Requests for an IC CIC Consolidation must be provided to the
Telephone Company in writing, but no ASR Ordering Charge is
applicable for this request.
The IC CIC Consolidation charge does not apply to normal PIC change
activity, whereby carrier selection is changed and no consolidation of
CICs occurs.
The Telephone Company will negotiate a due date for an IC CIC
Consolidation with the IC. It is the sole responsibility of the IC to notify
affected end users of the change.
If an IC elects to change a CIC due to surrendering a CIC to the North
American Numbering Plan (NANP) Administrator for reassignment, the
IC CIC Consolidation Charge will be waived. The waiver is applied only
when the IC surrenders the CIC on a nationwide basis. Additionally, the
CIC must be relinquished within ninety (90) days from the completed
conversion date. Confirmation of relinquished code(s) must be in writing
and come from the NANP Administrator.

objective of the parties is to conduct their respective businesses
to avoid confusion by the end users and agents as to the
separate and independent identity of the respective companies

shall make any representation to end users, the public,
prospective advertisers, expressed or implied, written or oral,
which would imply that the IC is the same as, a part of, or
associated with the Telephone Company.

Prior to the expiration of each liability period, the customer has the

period if termination is elected. Failure to do so will result in an

A Termination Charge may apply when all services using specially

(3) Annual Underutilization Liability and Underutilization Charge
(Cont'd)
Underutilization occurs only if, at the expiration date of the ILP and
annually thereafter, less than 70 percent of the specially
constructed facilities are in service at filed Price List service rates.
An annual underutilization liability amount is filed on a per unit
basis (e.g., per cable pair) for each case of special construction.
This amount is equal to the annual per unit cost and includes
depreciation, maintenance, administration, return, taxes and any
other costs identified in the supporting documentation provided at
the time the special construction case is filed.
Upon the expiration of the ILP, the number of underutilized
facilities, if any, is multiplied by the annual underutilization liability
amount. This product is then multiplied by the number of years
(including any fraction thereof) in the ILP to determine the
underutilization charge.

Annually thereafter, the number of underutilized facilities, if any,

multiplied by the annual underutilization liability amount to
determine the under-utilization charge for the preceding 12-month
period.
Example:
A customer orders 100 services and the special construction of a
600 pair building riser cable is agreed to, based on the customer's
5-year facility requirements. The ILP, in this example, would be
filed at 5 years. The annual underutilization liability is filed at
$2.00 per pair. If 400 pairs were in service at the end of the ILP,
there would be an underutilization of 20 pairs, i.e., 420 (70% of
600) - 400 = 20. The total underutilization charge for the first 5
years would be $200.00, or $2.00 per pair x 20 pairs x 5 years.
If 420 pairs are in service at the end of the sixth year, there is no
underutilization, i.e., 420 - 420 = 0.

the coin revenue due under exchange Price Lists, state toll Price Lists, and
interstate toll Price Lists). The total coin shortage amount and the total revenue
amount will be determined by the Telephone Company through an annual
special study.
