Re: Rule 54.312(c)(4) Notice; Connect America Fund, WC Docket No. 10-90

Dear Ms. Jewell:

On September 13, 2016 pursuant to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules,1
CenturyLink, on behalf of its incumbent local exchange carriers receiving 2013 Connect America
Fund Phase I incremental support (CAF I Round 2 support) provided notice2 to the FCC of its intent
to use that support for broadband deployment in census blocks that it has not previously identified.

When CenturyLink initially accepted CAF I Round 2 support in August 2013 it provided a list of
census blocks in Idaho where it anticipated using that support to deploy broadband to unserved and
underserved locations. That list was subsequently updated on February 24, 2014 by letter to the
Commission to reflect the results of the FCC challenge process. Since that time, CenturyLink has
modified its broadband deployment plans under the CAF I Round 2 program and is hereby
providing the attached list of 53 additional census blocks in which it intends to meet its broadband
deployment obligations under the program in Idaho.

By this letter, CenturyLink is providing notice of these additional census blocks to the Idaho
Commission. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

1 47 C.F.R. § 54.312(c)(4).
2 Along with its Notice to the FCC, CenturyLink also filed a Petition for Partial Waiver of the FCC’s requirement to
provide notice of additional census blocks for CAF I Round 2 deployment at least 90 days prior to commencing
deployment in those census blocks.
