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 11-161, Qwest Corporation dlbla CenluryLink QC (Northern ldaho)
("CenturyLink") extended an invitation to the above listed 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(aX9))
which at a minimum, would include:
(i) A needs assessment and deployment planning with a focus on Tribal community anchor
institutions;
(ii) Feasibility and sustainability planning;
(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.

Anthony D. Johnson, Chairman

Lapwai,ID 83540-0305
Dear Chairman Johnson,
On Oetober 28,201.5,I had the opportunity to meet with various Nez Ferce tribal
representatives at a meeting in Lapwai. Both Kim Ruettgers and I attended the meeting
along with other CenturyLink employees who joined by conference bridge. I believe the
meeting was very productive and there are a number of followup items that the parties
are addressing. We antieipate there will be multiple follow-up meeting/catls betrveen the
Nez Perce tribal representatives and CenturyLink. For refelence attached is a zummary
from that meeting.
At least an:rually, CenturyLink sends out a Ietter to the Nez Perce Tribe, regarding the
FCC's goal of comprehensive engagement by providers like CenturyLink wi& Tribal
Govemments. Centurylink values i* relationship with the Nez Perce Tribe and
understands the critical role cornmunications services play in eliminating the digital
divide and improving the econonnic, health and educational opporhrnities for
Centurylink's customers living on Tribal lands.
In 201l, the Federal Communications Commissisn f'FCC") modemized the
comrnunications landscape by implementing st€ps to ensure that robust, affordable voice
and broadband service are available to Americans tlroughout the nation including those
residing on Tribal lands.l CenturyLink remains committed to its goal of building a
cooperative relationship with the Nez Perce Tribe.

NOTES:
l.(112) - (118) The Federal Communications Commission in Connect America Fund; ETC Annual
Reports and Certification; Developing a Untfied Intercarrier Compensation Regime, WC Docket
Nos. 10-90 and l4-58, CC Docket No. 0l-92, Report and Order, Order and Order on
Reconsiderafion, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 16-33, atJlll216,220
(rel. Mar. 30,2016) eliminated the requirements for price cap carriers to file a service quality
improvement plan and to file annual updates.
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.
4. (300) - (310) CenturyLink is reporting any outstanding requests for voice service from 2015 that
are unfulfilled at the time of this filing. Orders resolved during the year are not reported, including
unfilled orders that are cancelled by the customer.
5. (320) - [330) Centurylink is reporting any outstanding requests for broadband service from
2015 that are unfulfilled at the time of this filing. Orders resolved during the year are not reported,
including unfilled orders that are cancelled by the customer.
6. (410) - (420) Complaints per 1,000 voice access lines are reported as complaints to any federal
and/or state agencies.
7. (440) - (450) Complaints per 1,000 broadband customers are reported as complaints to any
federal and/or state agencies.
8. (711) CenturyLink is reporting a-la-cart and data-only broadband rates that meet or exceed both
the download speed of four mega bits per second and upload speed of one mega bit per second.
Upload speeds of 7 6BK or below are not included in this report.
9. (800), (810)-(813), (7200), and (L210)-(7223) CenturyLink is a designated eligible
telecommunications carrier that receives Universal Service Support for High Cost Areas under 47
C.F.R. 54 subpart D. Therefore, Centurylink is only subject to subpart (a) of 47 C.F.R. 554.422 as it
applies to this filing.
10. (810) - (813) Per FCC DA1.3-1707 released August 6,2073, CenturyLink is reporting holding
company, operating companies, and affiliates (as defined under section 3 of the Communications
Act of 1.934, 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.
71. (921) - (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. $5a.313 (a) (9) to the federally
recognized tribes served in a study area, lines 927-929 were marked with a "yes" response.
12. (1000) - (1010J Carriers must certiry that their local rates are at or below two 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. Qwest 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 ofthe applicable national average urban rate forvoice service.
13. [2010), (2077), (2015) and (2016) Per FCC DA73-2701released October 30, 2013, Centurylink
is certifying at a holding company level.
14. (2017) and [2025J Centurylink, in the November 9,2015 In the Matter of ETC Annual Reports
and Certifications; WC Docket No. 14-58, provided location data for Connect America Fund Phase 1
Incremental Support Program Round 1 ("Round 1")for both the second and third year completion
periods. Therefore no Round 1 data is provided in this filing. Future network utilization could
impact broadband service at the previously disclosed Iocations.
15. (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.
