Qwest Corporation ("Qwest")and New Edge Networks ("New Edge")herebyjointly file
this Application for Approval of Amendment to Interconnection Agreement for the State of
Idaho (the "Amendment").A copy of the Amendment is submitted herewith.
This Amendment was reached through voluntarynegotiations without resort to mediation
or arbitration and is submitted for approval pursuant to Section 252(e)of the Communications
Act of 1934,as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act").
Section 252(e)(2)of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an amendment

portion(s)thereof)discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
amendment;or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion)is not consistent with the
public interest,convenience and necessity.
New Edge and Qwest respectfullysubmit that this Amendment,which adds terms and
conditions for DC Power Reduction Procedure;Collocation Transfer of Responsibility;

Collocation Decommission;and Collocation Cancellation,provides no basis for either of these
fmdings,and,therefore jointly request that the Commission approve this Amendment
expeditiously.This Amendment is consistent with the public interest as identified in the pro-
competitive policies of the State of Idaho,the Commission,the United States Congress,and the
Federal Communications Commission.Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable
New Edge to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices
among local telecommunications services.
New Edge and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Amendment
without a hearing.Because this Amendment was reached through voluntarynegotiations,it does
not raise issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the
negotiations.Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 29th day of August,2002.

DC POWER REDUCTION PROCEDURE
1.0 Description
1.1 Qwest's Power Reduction Procedure offers CLEC the option to reserve a fuse orbreakerpositiononthepowerboardorBatteryDistributionFuseBay(BDFB)when reducing a
multiple feed to zero.CLEC's payment of the Monthly Power Maintenance charge will provide
an option to hold the existing power cabling and fuse position for the CLEC's future poweraugmentrequestsasdescribedinsection2.6 below.
2.0 Terms and Conditions
2.1 If a CLEC wishes to reduce its amount of power and will not require it for future use,
Qwest will process the request as a standard augment order and not as a DC Power Reduction
request.
2.2 Applications for DC Power Reduction may be submitted only for collocation sites that
have been previously accepted by the CLEC.Power reductions to sites under construction or
for sites not previously accepted by the CLEC,will follow standard change or augment
procedures and rates.
2.3 Before submitting a power reduction application,CLEC's financial obligations with
respect to the collocation site must be current,with the exception of formally disputed charges.
CLEC's financial obligations include payment of one hundred percent (100%)of all non-
recurring quoted charges for the collocation site and all applicable monthly recurring charges
that are more than 30 days past due.
2.4 Collocation applications for new,change and augment requests must be submitted to
the Collocation Project Management Center (CPMC)on the form provided by Qwest at
www.qwest.co./wholsale/pcat/collocation.html.apform.The CPMC will notify the CLEC of any
deficiencies in the application within ten (10)days of receipt.A nonrefundable Quote
Preparation Fee (QPF)in the amount reflected in CLEC's Interconnection Agreement must be
submitted with the application.
2.5 A walk through will be performed prior to quote preparation to determine the amount of
work required to perform the power reduction.
2.6 When eliminating a secondary feed,CLEC may purchase the option to have the power
cable and fuse position held for its future use.CLEC will be required to pay a monthly Power
Maintenance Charge until such time as CLEC notifies Qwest that it wishes either to reenergize
the feed or to discontinue the option.In instances where a shortage of fuse position is
imminent,Qwest reserves the right to notify CLEC of the need to exercise its option or
relinquish the fuse position to Qwest.Upon receipt of such notification,CLEC will have the
option of energizing the secondary feed to at least 20 amps or returning the fuse position to
Qwest within thirty (30)days of receipt of the notification.
2.7 CLEC assumes all responsibility for outages and/or impacts to CLEC-provided service
and equipment due to the reduction in DC Power.

Multi-Service Amendment to CDS-020731-0015
Attachment i
2.8 Restoration of the desired power is contingent upon desired power and fuse position
availability.
3.0 Rate Structure
3.1 Collocation charges will be based upon the information provided to Qwest by CLEC on
the Collocation Application Form.Below is an example of additional charges that are unique to
a Power Reduction Request and will be provided to CLEC via a quote:
3.1.2 Based on this evaluation of work provided in the quote,the rates provided in
Exhibit A to this Amendment will apply.One QPF per application/per collocation site will
be charged.When multiple feeds at the same collocation space are reduced or
eliminated,CLEC will pay one QPF.Other nonrecurring and recurring charges may
apply as reflected in CLEC's Interconnection Agreement.
3.1.3 Qwest will provide CLEC a quote for additional nonrecurring charges associated
with the Power Reduction Procedure based upon the rates provided in Exhibit A.All
quoted nonrecurring charges must be paid within thirty (30)Days from the quote.Such
payment constitutes CLEC's quote acceptance and authorizes Qwest to perform the
work to effect the requested power reduction.
3.1.4 Billing to CLEC for initial power value at the collocation site will be modified to
reflect the reduced amount upon receipt of payment of the quoted charges and will be
made effective back to the date of acceptance of the Power Reduction Application by the
CPMC.
3.1.5 Recurring billing for the Power Maintenance Charge will terminate on the day
CLEC energizes the feed or returns the fuse position to Qwest.
3.2 Non-recurring Charges
3.2.1 QPF:Includes the cost of performing a feasibility study and producing the quote
for fulfilling the Power Reduction request.It covers the project,order and support
management associated with the administrative functions of processing the request.
3.2.2 Power Reduction Charge:Includes costs associated with reducing the
fuselbreaker size.Rates are categorized in this manner based upon the work involved
and power distribution point (e.g.,BDFB or power board)and are set forth in Exhibit A of
CLEC's Interconnection Agreement.Where additional work is needed,such as rewiring
the power lead at the power source (or some cases may require relocation of the feed),
rates will be calculated on an Individual Case Basis (ICB)basis.These rates will be
provided to CLEC on the quote prior to work beginning.
3.2.3 Power Restoration Charge (assessed if power is restored):ICB Charge
associated with restoring the power cable to the power source and is contingent upon
whether the desired power and fuse position is available.Qwest will evaluate work
required to perform the Power Restoration request and provide CLEC a quote utilizing
standard power element charges (for example,DC power usage,labor,and cabling
charges)included in Exhibit A of CLEC's Interconnection Agreement.

hold the power infrastructure from a secondary feed in place for potential CLEC
requests.
4.0 Orderinq
4.1 CLEC should submit the "Collocation Application for New,Augment or Change"and
indicate specific power feeds to be reduced (e.g.,eliminate or reduce multiple feeds from 60 to
zero amps or reduce main feed from 60 to 20 amps).Under the "type of request"category
CLEC should indicate that this is an Augment.

Splitter Collocation associated with it,the Splitter Collocation will be transferred as part of the
