Dear Secretary Jewell:
On November 18, 201 1 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 L 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(aX7) 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 certiS 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.

serving territory while fulfilling obligations set forth in Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11-161, Qwest Corporation dlb/a CenturyLink QC (Southern 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.
554.313(a)(9)) which at a minimum, would include:
(i) A needs assessment and deployment planning with a focus on tribal community anchor

(iii) Marketing services in a culturally sensitive manner;
(iv) Rights of way processes, land use permitting, facilities sitinB, environmental and
cultural preservation review processes; and

certificates of public convenience and necessity, tribal business licenses, master licenses,
and other related forms of tribal government licensure.

Dear Chairman Small.
Ceniuylink values its relationship with the Shoshone-tsannock lribes and the
opportunity to provide services that meet the needs of CenturyLink's customers located
on Tribal lands. Centurylink is striving to maintain a positive relationship with members
of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes through ongoing communications and. as appropriate,
periodic meetings.
ln late Z}fi, the Federal Communications Comrnission ("FCC") initiated steps to reform
and modernize the lederal universal service support syslem to enswe that robust,
affordable voice and broadband service are available to Americans throughout the nation
including those residing on Tribal lands. I [n accord with the FCC's actions, late last year
CenturyLink requested a meeting with representatives of your lribal
Government/Council to discuss the planning and potential deployment of services on
Tribal lands as well as other areas of interest specific to conducting business on your
Tribal lands. The FCCI has advised that the {bllowing topics be discussed: (l)
deployment planning with a focus on Tribal community anchor institutions; (2) feasibility
and sustainability planning; (3) marketing services on Tribal lands; (4) rights-or-way
processes. land use permitting, facilities siting. environmental and cultural preservation
review process; and (5) Tribal business and licensing requirements.

NOTES:
L. (LLZ) - [118) The Federal Communications Commission in FCC DA 14-591 adopted May 1,20L4
and in Connect America Fund et al. WC Docket No. 10-90 et al., Order, 28 FCC Rcd 2051, 2054,para.
I [Wireline Comp. Bur. 2013J (ETC Reporting Requirements Order) waivedthe requirementthat
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
opportunity to accept a state-level commitrnent, it does not serve the public interest." Since the
Connect America Phase II program has not been fully implemented at this time, 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 atthe 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 reporL
8. (800), (810)-[813), (1200), and [1210)-(7223) Centurylink is a designated eligible
telecommunications carrier that receives Universal Service Support for High CostAreas under 47
C.F.R. 54 subpart D. Thereforg CenturyLink is only subiectto subpart (a) of 47 C.F.R, 554.422 asit
applies to this filing.
9. (810) - (813) Per FCC DAL3-1707 releasedAugust 6, 2013, CenturyLinkis 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. $5a313(a)(9) to the federally
recognized tribes served in a study area, lines 92L-929 were marked with a "yes" response.
11. (1000) - (1010) Carriers must certiffthattheir local rates are at or belowtwo standard
deviations of the applicable national average urban rate for voice service, as specified in the most
recent public notice issued by the Wireline Competition Bureau and Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau. Qwesp Corporation d,/b/a CenturyLink [Wyoming) and United Telephone Company of the
West d/b/a CenturyLink (Wyoming) have certain exchanges with explicit cost based 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 of the applicable national average urban rate for voice seryice.
12. (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 Connect America Fund Incremental Support program (Round 1) requires
participating carriers to deploybroadband services at certain speeds to locations within certain
timeframes. The FCC recognized in DA 12-1155 released on fuly L8,20L2,tlat carriers may run
into practical obstacles that would make it difficult to deploy broadband to the locations that were
in tlre carrier's original deployment plan, and therefore may deploy to eligible locations not
identified in the deploymentplan. Centurylink companies participating in the ConnectAmerica
Fund Incremental Support program (Round 1) experienced the practical obshcles 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 laly 24,2012. CenturyLinkwill identiff
locations where deploymenthas 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.
