Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") and Southwestern Bell Communications Services aka SBC

SGA T ("Agreement"). A copy of this Agreement is submitted herewith.
This Agreement 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 agreement
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the agreement (or
portiones) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
agreement; or the implementation of such an agreement (or portion) is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.
SBC and Qwest respectfully submit that this Agreement provides no basis for either
these findings, and, therefore jointly request that the Commission approve this Agreement

expeditiously. This Agreement 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 Agreement will enable SBC
to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among
local telecommunications services.
SBC and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Agreement without a
hearing. Because this Agreement was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise
issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties who were not party to the
negotiations. Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 2ih day of August, 2004.
