Dear Ms. Hanian: Frontier Communications Northwest Inc. (“FC Northwest”) hereby files a state affidavit and a copy of the annual reports that were filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 22, 2017 in compliance with 47 CFR § 54.313 and 47 CFR § 54.422. Section 54.313 applies to an eligible telecommunications carrier (ETC) receiving high-cost federal USF support. Section 54.422 applies to ETCs receiving low-income support. Both sections require the ETC to file the annual report with the FCC, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), and its relevant state commission by July 1st. Portions of this filing were filed confidentially at the FCC. FC Northwest hereby requests confidential treatment of these documents in accordance with Idaho PUC rules. FC Northwest requests the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to file the annual certification regarding federal high- cost support with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and the FCC, pursuant to 47 CFR 54.314(a).

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: ETC Annual Reports and Certifications, WC Dkt. No. 14-58 Dear Ms. Dortch: Frontier Communications Corp. hereby files its annual report and certifications as required by Sections 54.313 and 54.422 of the Commission’s rules. A copy of this report is also being filed with the Universal Service Administrative Company, each relevant State public service commission in which Frontier operates as an ETC, and relevant authorities and Tribal governments pursuant to Section 54.313(i) of the Commission’s rules.1 Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 0.459, Frontier requests confidential treatment for portions of these filings. Specifically, Frontier requests confidential treatment of the detailed reporting of outages lasting longer than 30 minutes in 2016, which includes the location, cause, duration and efforts taken to prevent further outages. This information is competitively sensitive and is not normally released to the public; release of such sensitive data could give Frontier’s competitors an advantage in the markets described therein.2 Frontier also requests confidential treatment of its unfulfilled voice and broadband service requests. This information is competitively sensitive as it may provide an indication of where Frontier may target future service expansion. This information is not normally released to the public; release of such sensitive data could give Frontier’s competitors an advantage in the markets described therein. Finally, Frontier requests confidential treatment of its broadband price offerings. While broadband price offerings may be publicly available on a targeted and localized basis, Frontier does not make available a companywide description of its pricing across all markets, which is what this report provides. This information is competitively sensitive as pricing is a key component of broadband 1 47 C.F.R. § 54.313(i). 2 Frontier notes that section 4.2 of the Commission’s rules, which governs disruptions of communications service, states that reports of service disruptions are “presumed to be confidential.” 47 C.F.R. § 4.2.

Northwest, Inc (ID-GTE) (A)(B)( C)(D)(E) Date of Potential Customer's Request (mm/dd/yyyy) Date When the Request was Considered Unfulfilled (mm/dd/yyyy) Name of Exchange/ Wire Center Description of Service Request How Service Fulfillment was Attempted/Reason for Unfulfillment (If fulfilled in 2016, include date of fulfillment) REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION Line 330 - Frontier works to satisfy all service requests, but not every initiated order is ultimately fulfilled. There are occasions when broadband service cannot be installed at the requesting address location due to reasons such as distance, capacity, and equipment incompatibility. In those cases, Frontier will review whether it can provide broadband service from other access points or utilize available equipment. If Frontier’s review is unsuccessful, then the order is cancelled and the customer is notified. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION Line 510 – Description of Compliance with Service Quality Standards and Consumer Protection: The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they comply with applicable state and FCC service quality standards. Service quality metrics are monitored and reported on a monthly basis. Frontier has implemented numerous Consumer Protection measures to protect customer information from improper use and disclosure as well as to protect against fraud. For example, Frontier has implemented Customer Proprietary Network Information (policies and procedures) that are consistent with the FCC’s regulations. Frontier regularly trains employees who have access to CPNI on the rules and our procedures for securing accounts and authenticating callers. Frontier also has a comprehensive Identity Theft Protection Program (or Red Flag program) which is consistent with the FTC’s guidance on measures to detect and prevent identity theft. All employees are trained on Frontier’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which requires employees to protect sensitive customer information from improper use and disclosure. Frontier also has a Data Privacy and Security policy which applies to all employees. Further, Frontier also has implemented a strict third-party qualification protocol to prevent unauthorized charges (“Cramming”) from appearing on customer’s bills. Frontier also follows a “First Call” resolution policy, which aims to resolve customer complaints about unauthorized charges in one call, without referral to any third party. In addition to the foregoing, Frontier, has implemented customary IT security measures to protect our network and customer information. Frontier certifies compliance with Idaho state consumer protection rules; Idaho Telephone Customer Relations Rules, IDAPA 31.41.01. The Idaho state consumer protection rules are available at: http://www.puc.idaho.gov/laws/Telephone_customer_relations_rules_2010.pdf REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION Row 610 - Description of Functionality in Emergency Situations In December 2013, the FCC adopted new rules to promote 911 resiliency, including requesting initial certification of substantial progress towards meeting these new requirements by October 15, 2015. See Improving 911 Reliability; Reliability and Continuity of Communications Networks, Including Broadband Technologies, 28 FCC Red 17476 (2013); see also Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau Announces Effective Dates of 911 Reliability Certification and PSAP Outage Notification Requirements, Public Notice, 29 FCC Red 13900 (2014). On October 15, 2016, Frontier filed its certification that it is meeting the FCC's substantial progress goals. Specifically, Frontier met and certified to all of the requirements related to back-up power, circuit auditing, and network monitoring practices. Additionally, Frontier's network is engineered to provide maximum capacity in order to handle excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations.
