TARIFF FORMAT
A. Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Sheets are
numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new
sheet is added between sheets already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new sheet
added between sheets 14 and 15 would be 14.1 .
B. Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each
page. These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the Idaho
PUC. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of
coding is subservient to its next higher level:
2.
2.1
2.1.1
2.1.1.A.
2.1.1.A1.
2.1.1.AI.(a).
2.1.1.AI.(a).1.
2.1.1.AI.(a).I.(i).
2.1.1.AI.(a).I.(i).(1 ).
D. Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Idaho PUC, an updated check sheet
accompanies
the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheets contained in the tariff, with a cross-reference to
the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check sheet is changed to reflect
the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will be
no other symbols used on the check sheet if these are the only changes made to it 0&, the
format, etc. remains the same, just revised revision levels on some pages). The tariff user should
refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a particular sheet is the most current on file with the

2.4 Jurisdictional Report Requirements
Issued:
Issued by:
A.For Feature Group B or D Switched Access Service(s), where jurisdiction can be
determined from the call detail, the Company will determine the projected Percent
Interstate Usage (PIU) factor as follows: the projected PIU factor will be developed
on a monthly basis by end office, by dividing the measured interstate originating or
terminating access minutes (the access minutes where the calling number is the one
state and the called number is in another state) by the total originating or terminating
access minutes.
B.For terminating access minutes, in cases where the call detail in insuffcient to allow
for use of measured minutes, the customer has the option of providing the Company
with a projected PIU factor. Customers who provide a PIU factor shall supply the
company with an interstate percentage of FGD terminating access minutes for each
account or st~te to which the customer may terminate traffic. If a state level PIUis
provided by the customer, the percentage wil be applied to all accounts to which the
customer may terminate traffic within the state. If no projected PIU factor is
provided, the Company wil apply a 50%/50% PIU for interstate and intrastate
terminating and 800 originating access minutes.
c.Initial customer provided PIU factors must be furnished on the Access Service
Request used to establish the service. All other customer provided PIU factors,
including all PIU factors provided in a report update, must be furnished via a letter.
PIU factors provided via a letter will be kept on fie, and customers can designate

SECTION 5 - SWITCHED ACCESS SERVICES
5.1 General Description
Switched Access Service provides a two-point communications path between a customer's
premises and an end user's premises through the use of common terminating, common
switching, switched transport facilities, and common subscriber plant of the company.
Switched Access Service provides for the ability to originate calls from an end user's
premises to a customer's premises, and to terminate calls for a customer's premises to an
end user's premises in the LATA where service is provided.
The provision of each feature group required Switched Transport and the appropriate Local
Switching functions. Switched Transport provides for the transmission facilities betWeen the
customer's premises and the end office switch where the customer's traffic is switched to
originate or terminate traffic. Local Switching provides for the local end office switching and
end user termination functions necessary to complete the transmission of the customer's
communications over Switched Access facilities to and from the end users served by the
local end office. Common Line is provisioned under Section 3. Application of these rate
categories and charges are contained in Section 5.6.
5.2 Feature Group Descriptions
Switched Access Service may be provided in two different feature group arrangements.
These are generally differentiated by their technical characteristics and the manner in which
an end user accesses them in originating callng, e.g., with or without an access code.
Feature groups are arranged for originating, terminating or two-way callng, based on the
customer's order specifications. Originatirlg calling permits the delivery of calls from
Telephone Exchange Service locations to the customer's premises. Terminating call permits
the delivery of calls from the customer's premises to Telephone Exchange Service locations.
Two-way callng permits the delivery of calls in both directions, but not simultaneously.
Following are detailed descriptions of each of the available feature groups. Each feature
group is described in terms of its specific physical characteristics and callng patterns.
5.2.1 Feature Group B (FGB)

base translation.
When an end user originates an 800 NPAS call, the Company wil determine
how the call is to be routed, based on the 800 number dialed. If an 800
NPAS call originates in an end offce not SSP equipped to provide the
customer identification function, the call wil be routed to an SSP equipped
access tandem. Once the 800 NPAS Provider has been identified, the 800
call, served by the Company's SSP, will be routed to the 800 Service
Provider's defined FGD trunk group.
800 NPAS provides the customer identification function required to
determine the appropriate routing for an 800 number based on the
geographic origination of the call, from a specific NPAlNXX, NPA, or LATA,
up to any combination of the same.
800, as used throughout this tariff, includes 800, 888, 877, 855, 844, 833

tests that can be performed are Automatic Scheduled Testing,
Cooperative Schedule Testing, Manual Scheduled Testing and
Nonscheduled Testing.
5.5.5 Network Management
The Company maintains the right to apply protective controls (Le., those
actions, such as call gapping) which selectively cancel the completion to any
traffic carried over the Company's network, including that associated with a
customer's Switched Access Service. Generally, such protective measures
would only be take as a result of occurrences such as a result of
occurrences such as failure or overload of Company or customer facilities,
natural disasters, mass calling or national security demands. In the event
that the protective controls applied by the Company result in a complete loss
of service to the customer, the customer may be granted a credit allowance
in conjunction with the regulations specified in 2.5.4 (Credit Allowance for
Service Interruptions).
