BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF IPUC RESPONSE TO
FCC ORDER ON REVIEW OF SECTION 251
UNBUNDLING OBLIGATIONS OF
INCUMBENT LOCAL EXCHANGE
CARRIERS (CC DOCKET NO. 01-338)
Case No. GNR-03-
Qwest's Motion for Order Relating to
Disclosure of Third Party Information
NINE-MONTH REVIEW OF ECONOMIC
AND OPERATIONAL IMPAIRMENT
REGARDING ACCESS TO SPECIFIC UNES
Qwest Corporation ("Qwest"), through its attorneys, hereby moves the
Commission to enter an order directing Qwest to produce information in its possession
that could reveal a CLEC-specific or carrier-specific confidential information when
provided in response to discovery requests in this proceeding or when offered into
Boise-164831.l 0029164-00004
evidence by Qwest. Because of its status as wholesale provider of network services and
elements to carriers and CLECs, Qwest possesses information that is both proprietary and
confidential to its carrier/CLEC customers. Other participants in this docket are, for the
most part, only called on to provide their individual information. While the protective
order! addresses the protection of a company s individual information, the requested
order is necessary to protect the party that discloses third party information in its
possession. As further grounds for this Motion, Qwest states as follows:
Qwest has received numerous data and information requests in this docket
including but not necessarily limited to Requests 2 , 7, 9, 11, 19
and 46 in the First Production Request of the Commission Staff to Qwest Corporation
served November 7 2003. These Requests include demands for information in Qwest's
possession regarding its provisioning and billing activities. In several instances
producing such information will reveal the identity of particular CLECs or carriers, the
services they purchase fi-om Qwest, and details of their businesses such as CLEC-specific
numbers of access lines served through UNE-P and UNE-, and switch and collocation
information. This information may be protected fi-om disclosure under 47 U.c. g 222
and other federal privacy laws
Qwest seeks an express Commission directive requiring Qwest to identify and
distribute information that may reveal a CLEC's or carrier s identity and other
confidential CLEC/carrier data under the "Highly Confidential" designation ofthe
Order No. 29384 entered November 21 , 2003.
Qwest notes that while the Commission its Order No. 29384, controlling
how confidential information will be protected when disclosed, that order does not
specifically require a party who possesses the confidential information of another to
disclose that information, even under the conditions provided in the Order.
Boi se-I64831.l 0029164-00004
Commission s protective order during the course of this proceeding. The requested order
is for the purpose of providing all necessary protection to Qwest3 when it discloses
confidential CLEC/carrier information. Qwest also seeks protection where the response
to a discovery Request contains no specific carrier information but the small volumes of
CLEC/carrier activity may allow associations to be made that result in identification of a
specific CLEC or carrier.
The order sought by this Motion will not adversely affect the right of any party,
including Qwest, to raise appropriate obj ections to discovery requests.
Respectfully submitted this 26th day of November, 2003.

Qwest's status is relatively unique in that as a wholesale provider of
network services and elements to carriers and CLECs, Qwest not only possesses
information about its operations, it also possesses information that is confidential and
proprietary to its customers. It is this latter category of information that is the focus of
this Motion.
