CASE NO.: QWE-T-04-23
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO INTERCOI\INECTION
AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC hereby files this Application for Approval of
Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment") which was approved by the
Idalro Public Utilities Commission on October 6,2004 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment
with CenturyLink Communications, LLC fka Qwest Communications ("CenturyLink
Communications") 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
portion(s) 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.
CenturyLink 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
policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and the Federal
Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable
CenturyLink Communications to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide
customers with increased choices among local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Amendment without a
hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations, 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 7m day of October,20l5.

ATTACHMENT 1
8.2.1.32 DC Power Reduction, Restoration, and Deactivation. DC Power
Reduction With Reservation allows CLEC to reserve a fuse or breaker position
on the power board or battery distribution fuse board (BDFB) when reducing a
secondary power feed to zero. CLEC will pay a monthly power maintenance
charge to retain the existing power cabling and fuse position for future power
augment requests or until such time as CLEC notifies CenturyLink it wishes to
discontinue the option. DC Power Reduction Without Reservation allows CLEC
to reduce the ordered amps on a primary or secondary feed to a minimum of
twenty (20) amps. DC Power Off allows CLEC to deactivate their secondary
power feed and remove it from the power distribution point (e.9., BDFB or power
board). A primary power feed with a minimum of 20 Amps, must be maintained
in each collocation at all times, with the exception of Adjacent Collocation,
Common Area Splitter Collocation, Facility Connected Collocation, and ICDF
Collocation. Adjacent Collocation, Common Area Splitter Collocation, Facility
Connected Collocation, and ICDF Collocation do not have a minimum DC power
requirement.
8.2.1.32.1 Applications for DC Power
Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation may be submitted only for
Collocation sites that have been completed and accepted by CLEC,
otherwise CLEC should follow standard change or augment procedures
including the applicable rates for changes or augments. On the
Collocation Application, CLEC should indicate that it is a request for DC
Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation and identify the specific
power feeds. CenturyLink will notify CLEC of any deficiencies in the
Collocation Application, within ten (10) Days of receipt. A quotation for
the DC Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation will be provided to
CLEC within twenty-five (25) Days. The quoted nonrecurring charges
will be honored for thirty (30) Days from the quotation. CLEC payment
of all quoted nonrecurring charges constitutes acceptance and
CenturyLink will then perform the work. lf CLEC accepts the quotation
within seven (7) Days, CenturyLink shall complete the DC Power
Reduction within ninety (90) Days of receipt of the Collocation
Application. lf CLEC accepts the quotation after seven (7) Days,
CenturyLink shall complete the DC Power Reduction within ninety (90)
Days of receipt of CLEC's acceptance.
8.2.1.32.2 CLEC assumes all responsibility for outages or impacts to
CLEC services and equipment due to the reduction in DC power.

Restoration of the DC power is contingent upon the desired power and
fuse availability.
8.2.1.32.3 Before submitting a Collocation Application requesting DC
Power Red uction/Restoration/Deactivation, CL EC's financial obligations
for the Collocation site must be cunent, with the exception of formally
disputed charges. Billing to CLEC will be revised to reflect the
reduced/restored/eliminated DC power upon receipt of payment of the
quoted charges effective back to the date of acceptance by CenturyLink
of the Collocation Application.
8.2.1.32.4 lf a shortage of fuse positions is imminent, CenturyLink will notify
CLEC of the need to exercise its option to reuse the power feed and fuse, or
relinquish the fuse position for use by another CLEC or CenturyLink. Upon
receipt of such notification, CLEC must request restoration of the secondary
power feed to at least twenty (20) amps or return the fuse position to CenturyLink
within thirty (30) Days.
8.3 Rate Elements
Rate elements for Collocation are included in Exhibit A.
8.3.1 Rate Elements - Al! Collocation
8.3.1.19 DC Power Reduction Restoration and Deactivation Rates: CLEC
will be charged the applicable nonrecurring Quote Preparation Fee (QPF) or
Engineering and Design Fee and the DC Power Reduction or DC Power
Restoration fee per Collocation request. Nonrecurring charges associated with
the work required to reduce the fuse or breaker size, rewiring the power lead at
the power source or relocation of the power feed wil! be on an ICB basis. When
power is restored, nonrecurring charges will be assessed on an ICB basis for the
work required to restore the power utilizing standard power rate elements for
power usage, labor and cabling charges. CLEC will be charged a nonrecurring
charge for moves between the battery distribution fuse board and the power
board (for location changes) necessary for DC power reduction/restoration.
When Power is tumed off or deactivated on a secondary power feed
nonrecurring charges (i.e., Power off) will be assessed for the work required to
disconnect the power feed from the power distribution point. A recurring power
maintenance charge is associated with the option to hold the power infrastructure
for a secondary feed for potential future use by CLEC. The recurring charge will
terminate on the date a restoration job completes for the power feed or CLEC
retums the fuse position to CenturyLink. lf CenturyLink is unable to provide the
requested power restoration of the held feed(s) due to exhaustion of power
capacity, CenturyLink will refund all Power Maintenance Charges collected since
the reservation was accepted.
