Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC (Northern Idaho)
2015 Federal ETC Filing
Dear Secretary Jewell:
On November 18, 2011 the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") released its USF/ICC
Transformation Order in WC Docket No. 10-90 et al. With that Order, the FCC began a
transition to a national framework for certification of Eligible Telecommunications Carriers
("ETCs") and set forth a standard set of information that all ETCs must file with the FCC by July
l't of each year. The Order also required ETCs to provide the same information to the respective
state commissions.
The annual ETC reporting requirements are containedin4T C.F.R. $ 54.313 of the FCC's rules.
For the reporting of the data and certifications required by 47 C.F.R. $ 54.313 and $54.422,the
FCC has developed a reporting template, Form 481, to be utilized by ETCs.
Attached are the public and confidential versions of the Form 481 as frled by Centurylink with
the FCC on or before July 1. The outage information and certain Tribal engagement information
that is customer or company proprietary information provided in response to $ 54.313 (a) (2) and
(9) in the Form 481 is confidential. The detailed broadband speed availability information at the
exchange level provided in response to 54.313(a)(7) is also confidential. CenturyLink requests
this information be treated as such as provided by State Rule or Protective Order.
Consistent with past years, we request that you certifii to the FCC pursuant to 47 C.F.R $ 54.314
by October 1,2015 in order for Centurylink to continue receiving Federal high cost support in
Idaho.

Tareeted Eneaeement Efforts
As part of its efforts to strengthen positive relationships with the Tribal Nations within its
serving territory while fulfilling obligations set forth in Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11-151, Qwest Corporation dlbla CenturyLink QC (Northern ldaho)
("CenturyLink") extended an invitation to the tribal entity to meet and address issues of
importance related to the provisioning of services on tribal lands. The purpose of these
meetings was to discuss planning and potential deployment of service as well as other areas
of interest specific to conducting business on tribal lands (as set forth in 47 C.F.R. 55a.313(aX9))
which at a minimum, would include:
(i) A needs assessment and deployment planning with a focus on tribal community anchor
institutions;
(ii) Feasi bility and sustainabi lity pla nning;
(iii) Marketing services in a culturally sensitive manner;
(iv) Rights of way processes, land use permitting, facilities siting, environmental and cultural
preservation review processes; and
(v) Compliance with tribal business and licensing requirements. Tribal business and licensing
requirements include business practice licenses that tribal and non-tribal business entities,
whether located on or off tribal lands, must obtain upon application to the relevant tribal
government office or division to conduct any business or trade, or deliver any goods or
services to the Tribes, tribal members, or tribal lands. These include certificates of public
convenience and necessity, tribal business licenses, master licenses, and other related forms
of tribal government licensure.

and modernize the lederal universal service support system to ensure that robust.
affordable voice and broadband sen'ice are available to Americans throughout the nation
including those residing on Tribal lands. I ln accord with the FCC's actions, late last year
CenturyLink requested a mceting with representatives of your Tribal
Govemment/Council to discuss the planning and potential deployment of seryices on'Iribal lands as well as other areas of interest specific to conducting business on your

deployment planning with a focus on Tribal community anchor institutions; (2) feasibility
and sustainability planning; (3) marketiug services on Tribal lands: (4) rights-or-way
processes, land use permitting, facilities siting. environmental and cultural preservation
review processi and (5) fribal business and Iicensing requirements.

NOTES:
L. (LLZ) - (118) The Federal Communications Commission in FCC DA L4-59L adopted May L,2014
and in Connect America Fund et al. WC Docket No. 10-90 et al., Order, 28 FCC Rcd 2051, 2054, para.
8 [Wireline Comp. Bur. 2013J (ETC Reporting Requirements Order) waived the requirement that
price cap recipients of frozen support or incremental support file five-year plans stating "until the
[ConnectAmerica Phase II forward-looking] cost model is adopted and incumbents have the
opportunityto accept a state-level commitnent it does not serve the public interest." Since the
Connect America Phase II program has not been fully implemented at this timg the five year plan is
not required.
2. (220) Outages are reported using the criteria provided in 47 C.F.R 554.313, which differs from
the criteria in 47 C.F.R. $4.5 which is the basis for reporting outages to the Federal Communications
Commission. Therefore, some outages may not have NORS numbers.
3. (300) - [310) CenturyLink is reporting any outstanding requests for voice service from 2014 that
are unfulfilled at the time of this filing.
4. (320) - [330) CenturyLink is reporting any outstanding requests for broadband service from
2014 that are unfulfilled at the time of this filing.
5. (410) - (420) Complaints per 1,000 voice access lines are reported as complaints to any federal
and/or state agencies.
6.(440) - [450) Complaints per 1",000 broadband customers are reported as complaints to any
federal and/or state agencies.
7. (7LL) CenturyLink is reporting a-la-cart and data only broadband rates that meet or exceed both
the required download speeds of four mega bits per second and upload speeds of one mega bit per
second. Widely used upload speeds of 768K or below are not included in this report
B. (800), (810)-(813), (1200), and (1210)-(L223) Centurylink is a designated eligible
telecommunications carrier that receives Universal Service Support for High CostAreas under 47
C.F.R. 54 subpart D. Therefore, Centurylink is only subject to subpart (a) of a7 C.F.R. $54.422 as it
applies to this filing.
9. (810) - [813) Per FCC DAt3-1707 releasedAugust 6, 2013, Centurytinkis reportingholding
company, operating companies, and affiliates [as defined under section 3 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. S 153(2)) that are designated as eligible telecommunications
carriers and/or that provide retail broadband internet access to end-user customers.
L0. (92L) - (929) To the extent the carrier serves federally recognized tribal lands, the attached
narrative, in response to line 920, should be relied on to describe tribal outreach and interaction. If
the carrier at least offered to discuss the points listed in 47 C.F.R. S5a.313(a)(9) to the federally
recognized tribes served in a study are4 lines 92L-929 were marked with a "yes" response.
11. [1000) - (1010) Carriers must certi$r that their local rates are at or below two standard
deviations of the applicable national average urban rate forvoice service, as specified in the most
recent public notice issued by the Wireline Competition Bureau and Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau. Qwes! Corporation d/b/a CenturyLink (Wyoming) and United Telephone Company of the
West d/b/a CenuryLink (Wyoming) have certain exchanges with explicit costbased local rates
above this standard. Customers in such exchanges receive a Federal Universal Service credit and/or
a State Universal Service credit explicitly on their bill. This results in a net charge that is lower than
two standard deviations ofthe applicable national average urban rate for voice service.
L2. (2000), (2005), (2010J, (2014), and (2016) Per FCC DA 13-2101 released October 30,20L3,
Centurylink is certiffing at a holding company level.
13. (2010) The ConnectAmerica Fund Inmemental Supportprogram (Round 1) requires
participating carriers to deploy broadband services at certain speeds to locations within certain
timeframes, The FCC recognized in DA 12-1155 released on fuly 78,20t2,that carriers may run
into practical obstacles that would make it difficult to deploy broadband to the locations that were
in t}te carrier's original deployment plan, and therefore may deploy to eligible locations not
identified in the deployment plan. CenturyLink companies participating in the Connect America
Fund Incremental Support program [Round 1) experienced the practical obstacles the FCC
anticipated and therefore deployed broadband to a substantial number of locations that are not
listed in the notice of acceptance filed with the FCC on luly 24,2012. Centurylinkwill identiff
locations where deployment has occurred in a separate and/or subsequent filing.
14. [3000)-(3034) These questions are not applicable. This company is considered to be a Federal
Price Cap Carrier or an affiliate associated with a Federal Price Cap Carrier for the purposes of this
filing.
