BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
APPLICATION OF QWEST
CORPORATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AN INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C. §252(e)
CASE NO.: QWE. T .04.30
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERCONNCTION AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation d/b/a CenturyLink ("CenturyLink") hereby files this Application for
Approval of Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment"), which was
approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission on November 23, 2004 (the "Agreement").
The Amendment with Bullseye Telecom, Inc. ("Bullseye") 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 Commssion finds that: the amendment (or
portiones) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrer not a pary 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 wil enable BullsEye to
interconnect with CenturyLink facilties 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 hearng and does not concern other paries not a party to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 3rd day of October, 2011.
