Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") hereby files this Application for Approval of Amendment
to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment"), which was approved by the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission on August 2, 2004 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with Time
Warner Telecom ofldaho LLC ("Time Warner ) is submitted herewith.
This Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations 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
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the amendment (or
portiones) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion) is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.
Qwest respectfully submits this Amendment provides no basis for either of these
findings, and, therefore requests that the Commission approve this Amendment expeditiously.
This Amendment is consistent with the public interest as identified in the pro-competitive

ATTACHMENT 1
Definitions
The Parties agree that the definitions in the TRD Amendment for "Non-Qualifying Service" and
Qualifying Service" shall be deleted.
Business Line" means a Qwest-owned switched access line used to serve a business
customer, whether by Qwest itself or by CLEC that leases the line from Qwest. The number of
Business Lines in a Wire Center shall equal the sum of all Qwest business switched access
lines, plus the sum of all UNE loops connected to that Wire Center, including UNE loops
provisioned in combination with other unbundled elements. Among these requirements,
Business Line tallies (1) shall include only those access lines connecting End User Customers
with Qwest end-offices for switched services; (2) shall not include non-switched special access
lines; and (3) shall account for ISDN and other digital access lines by counting each 64 kbps-
equivalent as one line. For example, a DS1 line corresponds to twenty-four (24) 64 kbps-
equivalents, and therefore to twenty-four (24) Business Lines.
Dark Fiber" is fiber within an existing fiber optic cable that has not yet been activated through
optronics to render it capable of carrying communications services.
Fiber-based Collocator" means any carrier, unaffiliated with Qwest, that maintains a Collocation
arrangement in a Qwest Wire Center, with active electrical power supply, and operates a fiber-
optic cable or comparable transmission facility that (1) terminates at a Collocation arrangement
within the Wire Center; (2) leaves the Qwest Wire Center premises; and (3) is owned by a party
other than Qwest or any affiliate of Qwest, except as set forth in this paragraph. Dark fiber
obtained from Qwest on an indefeasible right of use basis shall be treated as non-Qwest fiber-
optic cable. Two (2) or more affiliated Fiber-based Collocators in a single Wire Center shall
collectively be counted as a single Fiber-based Collocator. For purposes of this paragraph, the
term "affiliate" is defined by 47 U.C. ~ 153(1) and any relevant interpretation in this Title.
Interexchange Service" means telecommunications service between stations in different
exchange areas. Ct. Modification of Final Judgment, ~ IV(K), reprinted in United States v. Am.
Tel. Tel. Co.552 F. Supp. 131, 229 (D. D.C. 1982) (defining "interexchange
telecommunications" as "telecommunications between a point or points located in one exchange
telecommunications area and a point or points located in one or more other exchange areas or
a point outside an exchange area
Long Distance Service" (see "Interexchange Service
Mobile Wireless Service" means all mobile wireless telecommunications services, including
commercial mobile radio service (CMRS). CMRS includes paging, air-ground radio, telephone
service and offshore radiotelephone services, as well as mobile telephony services, such as the
vice offerings of carriers using cellular radiotelephone, broadband PCS and SMR licenses.
Non-impaired Wire Center" - A Non-impaired Wire Center is a Wire Center that meets the loop
thresholds identified in CFR 47 ~51.319(a)(4)(i) for DS1 Loops and ~51.319(a)(5)(i) for DS3
Loops. Non-impaired Wire Centers also include Tier 1 and Tier 2 Wire Centers as defined in
~51.319(e)(3) and subject to the limitations of ~51.319(e)(2)(ii)(A) for DS1 Dedicated Transport,
~51.319(e)(2)(iii)(A) for DS3 Dedicated Transport and ~51.319(e)(2)(iv)(A) for Dark Fiber
Transport.

ATTACHMENT 1
Route" is a transmission path between one of Owest's Wire Centers or switches and another of
Owest's Wire Centers or Switches. A Route between two (2) points (e., Wire Center or Switch
A" and Wire Center or Switch ") may pass through one (1) or more intermediate Wire Centers
or Switches (e., Wire Center or Switch "). Transmission paths between identical end points
(e., Wire Center or Switch "A" and Wire Center or Switch ") are the same "route
irrespective of whether they pass through the same intermediate Wire Centers or Switches, if
any.
Triennial Review Remand Order" The Triennial Review Remand Order is the Commission
Order on Remand in CC Docket Nos. 01-338 and 04-313 (released February 4, 2005).
Wire center" A wire center is the location of a Owest local Switching facility containing one or
more central offices, as defined in the Appendix to part 36 of this chapter. The wire center
boundaries define the area in which all customers served by a given wire center are located.
Tier 1 Wire Centers" means those Owest Wire Centers that contain at least four. Fiber-based
Collocators, at least 38 000 Business Lines, or both. Tier 1 Wire Centers also are those Owest
tandem Switching locations that have no line-side Switching facilities, but nevertheless serve as
a point of traffic aggregation accessible by CLEC. Once a Wire Center is determined to be a
Tier 1 Wire Center, that Wire Center is not subject to later reclassification as a Tier 2 or Tier 3
Wire Center.
Tier 2 Wire Centers" means those Owest Wire Centers that are not Tier 1 Wire Centers, but
contain at least 3 Fiber-based Collocators, at least 24,000 Business Lines, or both. Once

Tier 2 Wire Centers.
Unbundled Network Elements rUNE) General
The Parties understand and agree that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit, among other things, remanded and vacated the FCC'delegation of
impairment to the state Commissions resulting in the FCC promulgating criteria for impairment
in the TRRO, the implementation of which is contained herein. All sections of the Agreement
implementing the TRO that reflect state Commission determination of whether carriers are not
impaired without a specific UNE are thereby deleted.
1 CLEC'Interconnection Agreement may include terms and conditions for certain
Network Elements that Owest is no longer required to offer on an unbundled basis pursuant to
Section 251 of the Act.
As of the execution date of this Amendment, CLEC shall not order, and Owest will not
provide, the following Network Elements on an unbundled basis pursuant to Section 251 of the

Amendment to: CDS-Q40622-0003
Template version 4-29-05-TRO and TRRO Amendment
ATTACHMENT 1
2.4 UNEs shall be obtained solely for the provision of Telecommunications Services and
only to the extent allowed by law.
UNEs shall only be obtained for the provision of Telecommunications Services, which do
not include telecommunications utilized by CLEC for its own administrative use.
CLEC may not access UNEs for the exclusive provision of Mobile Wireless Services or
Interexchange Services.
If CLEC accesses and uses a UNE consistently with Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, CLEC
may provide any Telecommunications Services over the same UNE.
To submit an order to obtain a high-capacity loop or transport UNE, CLEC must
undertake a reasonably diligent inquiry and, based on that inquiry, self-certify that, to the best of
its knowledge, its request is consistent with the requirements discussed in parts IV, V, and VI of
the Triennial Review Remand Order and that it is therefore entitled to unbundled access to the
particular network elements sought pursuant to section 251 (c)(3). As part of such reasonably
diligent inquiry, CLEC shall ensure that a requested unbundled DS1 or DS3 loop is not in a Wire
Center identified on the list provided by Owest of Wire Centers that meet the applicable non-
impairment thresholds specified in Sections 3.1 and 3., and that a requested unbundled
DS1, DS3 or dark fiber transport circuit is not between Wire Centers identified on the list of Wire
Centers that meet the applicable non-impairment threshold specified in Sections 4.1, 4.
and 4.1. CLEC shall provide a letter or other mutually agreed upon form to document its
compliance. CLEC will maintain appropriate records that document what CLEC relied upon to
support its certification.
Upon receiving a request for access to a dedicated transport or high-capacity
loop UNE that indicates that the UNE meets the relevant factual criteria discussed in
sections V and VI of the Triennial Review Remand Order, Owest must immediately
process the request, if the UNE is in a location that does not meet the applicable non-
impairment thresholds referred to in Section 2.8. To the extent that Owest seeks to
challenge any other such UNEs, it subsequently can raise that issue through the dispute
resolution procedures provided for in CLEC's Interconnection Agreement.
If it is determined by CLEC and Owest that CLEC's access to or use of UNEs is
inconsistent with Existing Rules, except due to change in law, CLEC has thirty (30)
calendar Days to convert such UNEs to alternate service arrangements and CLEC is
subject to back billing for the difference between rates for the UNEs and rates for the
Owest alternate service arrangements. CLEC is also responsible for all non-recurring
charges associated with such conversions.
3 When CLEC submits an order to convert a special access circuit to a UNE and
that circuit has previously been exempt from the special access surcharge pursuant to
47 CFR 69.115, CLEC shall document in its certification when and how the circuit was
modified to permit interconnection of the circuit with a local exchange subscriber line.
8.4 Additional Non-Impaired Wire Centers. If additional Owest Wire Centers are
found to meet the relevant factual criteria discussed in Sections V and VI of the FCC'
Triennial Review Remand Order under which Owest is no longer is required to offer
Unbundled DS1 or DS3 Loops , and/or if additional Owest Wire Centers are reclassified

as Tiers 1 or 2, thus impacting the availability of Unbundled DS1 , DS3, or Dark Fiber
transport, awest shall provide notice to CLEC. Thirty (30) Days after notification from
Owest, CLEC will no longer order impacted high capacity or Dark Fiber UNEs in or
between those additional Wire Centers. CLEC will have ninety (90) Days to transition
exiting DS1 and DS3 UNEs to an alternative service. CLEC will have one hundred
eighty (180) Days to transition Dark Fiber transport to an alternative service. Owest and
CLEC will work together to identify those circuits impacted by such change. Absent
CLEC transition of impacted UNEs within the transition period above, Owest will convert
facilities to month-to-month service arrangements in Owest's Special Access Tariff or
begin the disconnect process of Dark Fiber facilities. CLEC is subject to back billing for
the difference between the UNE and Tariff rates beginning on the ninety-first (91 st) Day
as well as for all applicable nonrecurring charges associated with such conversions.
Unbundled LOOD
Unbundled Loops are available pursuant to CLEC's Agreement and the following terms
and conditions.
DS1 Unbundled Loops. Subject to the cap described in Section 3.
Owest shall provide CLEC with non-discriminatory access to a DS1 loop on an
unbundled basis to any building not served by a Wire Center with at least 60,000

shall be available for lease from Owest at a rate equal to the higher of (1) one
hundred and fifteen percent (115 %) of the rate the requesting carrier paid for the
loop element on June 15, 2004, or (2) one hundred and fifteen percent (115 %)
of the rate the state commission has established Or establishes, if any, between
June 16, 2004, and the effective date of the Triennial Review Remand Order, for
that Loop element. Where Owest is not required to provide unbundled DS1
loops pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3., CLEC may not obtain new DS1 loops
as unbundled network elements. Owest and CLEC will work together to identify
those circuits impacted in Non-Impaired Wire Centers.
Billing. The fifteen percent (15%) transitional rate increment will
be applied to CLECs bill as a manual adjustment on the following bill cycle. The
first bill adjustment will be applied to each account based on the Billing
