APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF

Qwest Corporation ("Qwest"hereby files this Application for Approval
Interconnection Agreement ("Agreement"). The Agreement with Pipertel Communications
LLC ("Pipertel") 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
portion(s) 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.
Qwest respectfully submits that this Agreement provides no basis for either of these
findings, and, therefore requests 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 Pipertel to

interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among local
telecommunications services.
Qwest further requests 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 not a party to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 25th day of February, 2005.
