CORPORATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AN INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO 47 U.C. ~252(e)
CASE NO.: QWE-O5-
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
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 October 12, 2005 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with DIECA
Communications, Inc. d/b/a Covad Communications Company ("Covad") 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
policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and the Federal
Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable Covad to

telecommunications services.
Qwest 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 thi~~ay of June, 2006.

Definitions
. "
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.
Dedicated Transport" is Qwest transmission facilities between wire centers or switches owned
by Qwest, or between wire centers or switches owned by Qwest and switches owned by
requesting telecommunications carriers, including, but not limited to, DS1-, DS3-, and OCn-
capacity level services, as well as dark fiber, dedicated to a particular customer or carrier.
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. 9153(1) and any relevant interpretation in Title 47 of theCode of Federal Regulations.
Interexchange Service" means telecommunications service between stations in different
exchange areas. Cf. Modification of Final Judgment, 9 IV(K), reprinted in United States v. Am.
Tel. Tel. Co., 552 F. Supp. 131 , 229 (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 47 951.319(a)(4)(i) for DS1 Loops and 951.319(a)(5)(i) for DS3
Loops. Non-impaired Wire Centers also include Tier 1 and Tier 2 Wire Centers as defined in
951.319(e)(3) and subject to the limitations of 951.319(e)(2)(ii)(A) for DS1 Dedicated Transport
951.319(e)(2)(iii)(A) for DS3 Dedicat~d Transport and 951.319(e)(2)(iv)(A) for Dark Fiber
Transport.
Route" is a transmission path between one of Qwest's Wire Centers or switches and another of
Qwest's Wire Centers or Switches. A Route between two (2) points (e.g., 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 Qwest local Switching facility containing one or
more central offices, as defined in the Appendix to part 36 of of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. 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 Qwest 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 Qwest
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 Qwest 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
Wire Center is determined to be a Tier 2 Wire Center, that Wire Center is not subject to later
reclassification as a Tier 3 Wire Center.
Tier 3 Wire Centers" means those Qwest Wire Centers that do not meet the criteria for Tier 1 or
Tier 2 Wire Centers.

2.4 So long as CLEC is offering an eligible Telecommunications Service - Le., not
exclusively long distance or mobile wireless services - over the high capacity loop or dedicated
transport it may obtain that element as a UNE. CLEC may not access UNEs for its own
administrative uses. If CLEC accesses and uses a UNE consistently with this section , CLEC
may provide any Telecommunications Services over that 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 Qwest 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., 4.
and 4.10.1. CLEC shall provide a letter or other mutually agreed upon form to document its
compliance. CLEC will maintain appropriate business 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, Qwest 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 2.5. To the extent that Qwest 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 mutually agreed upon by CLEC and Qwest 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
Qwest 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.
5.4 Additional Non-Impaired Wire Centers. If Qwest determines additional Qwest
Wire Centers meet the non-impairment threshold in a specific wire center for high
capacity loop UNEs and/or dedicated transport based upon the relevant factual criteria
discussed in Sections V and VI of the FCC's Triennial Review Remand Order, Qwest
shall provide notice to CLEC. Upon request by CLEC, Qwest will provide CLEC with the
methodology Qwest used in making the determination the additional Wire Center(s)
meets the count thresholds as ordered by the FCC. Thirty (30) Days after notification
April 20, 2006/msd/DIECA dba CovadfTRRO/ID
Nego Amendment to CDS-050818-0009
ATTACHMENT 1
from Qwest, 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. Qwest and
CLEC will work together to identify those circuits impacted by such change. Absent
CLEC transition of impacted UNEs within the transition period above, Qwest will convert
facilities to month-to-month service arrangements in Qwest'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 (91st) Day
as well as for all applicable nonrecurring charges associated with such conversions.
In the event that (1) Qwest designates a wire center as non-impaired, (2) CLEC converts
existing UNEs to other services or orders new services as services other than UNEs, (3) CLEC
otherwise would have been entitled to UNEs in such wire center at the time alternative services
were provisioned, and (4) Qwest acknowledges or a state or federal regulatory body with
authority determines that, at the time Qwest designated such wire center as non-impaired, such
wire center did not meet the FCC's non-impairment criteria, then upon request of CLEC, Qwest
will, at no costs or expense to CLEC, transition to UNEs any alternative services in such wire
center that were established after such wire center was designated as non-impaired. In such
instances, Qwest shall refund CLEC the difference between the rate paid by CLEC for such
services and the applicable UNE rate, including but not limited to any non-recurring or other
charges associated with the unnecessary conversion from UNE to other wholesale services.
Qwest acknowledges that as of the date of execution of this Amendment, the only
applicable nonrecurring charge associated with conversions is a design change charge
identified in the appropriate tariff. For example, if the conversion is to an interstate service, the
charge is as described in Qwest's FCC Tariff No.1 at 9 5.2 C ($50.00). The foregoing
notwithstanding, Qwest reserves the right to change this charge or otherwise add, remove
change, in accordance with Applicable Law , any applicable nonrecurring charges associated
with conversions under this Amendment. Any changes to applicable nonrecurring charges
associated with conversions shall only apply prospectively.
Unbundled Loop
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.
Qwest 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
Business Lines and at least four (4) Fiber-based Collocators. Once a Wire Center
exceeds both of these thresholds , no future DS1 loop unbundling will be required in that
Wire Center.
Cap on Unbundled DS1 Loop Circuits. CLEC may obtain a
maximum of ten (10) unbundled DS1 Loops to any single building in which DS1Loops are available as Unbundled Loops.

Transition period for DS1 loop circuits. For a twelve (12)
month period beginning on the effective date of the Triennial Review Remand
Order, any DS1 loop UNEs that a CLEC leases from Qwest as of that date, but
which Qwest is not obligated to unbundle pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.
shall be available for lease from Qwest at a rate equal to the higher of (1) 115%
of the rate the requesting carrier paid for the loop element on June 15, 2004, or
(2) 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 Qwest 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. Qwest and CLEC will work together to
identify those circuits impacted in Non-Impaired Wire Centers.
Billing. The 15% transitional rate increment (in addition to the
loop charge in Exhibit A of the Agreement) will be applied to CLEC bill as a
manual adjustment on the following bill cycle. The first bill adjustment will be
applied to each account based on the Billing Telephone Number (BTN) and/or
Circuit (CKT) per Billing Account Number (BAN) with an effective bill date of
March 11 , 2005 on the first or second bill cycle following the contract execution
date.
DS3 Unbundled Loops. Subject to the cap described in Section 3.
Qwest shall provide CLEC with non-discriminatory access to a DS3 loop on an
unbundled basis to any building not served by a Wire Center with at least 38,000
Business Lines and at least four (4) Fiber-based Collocators. If a Wire Center exceeds
both of these thresholds, no future DS3 Loop unbundling is required in that Wire Center.
Cap on Unbundled DS3 Loop Circuits. CLEC may obtain a
maximum of a single unbundled DS3 Loop to any single building in which DS3
Loops are available as unbundled loops.
Transition period for DS3 loop circuits. For a twelve (12)
month period beginning on the effective date of the Triennial Review Remand
Order.. any DS3 loop UNEs that a CLEC leases from Qwest as of that date, but
which Qwest is not obligated to unbundle pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.
shall be available for lease from Qwest at a rate equal to the higher of (1) 115%
of the rate the requesting carrier paid for the loop element on June 15, 2004 , or
(2) 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 Qwest is not required to provide unbundled
DS3 loops pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3., CLEC may not obtain new DS3
loops as unbundled network elements. Qwest and CLEC will work together to
identify those circuits impacted in Non-Impaired Wire Centers.

transmission path capable of voice grade service.
Section 9.15 of the Agreement with respect to Retirement of
Copper Loops and replacement with FTTH Loops shall also apply to replacement
with FTTC Loops.
Hybrid Loops. A "Hybrid Loop" is an Unbundled Loop composed of both fiber
optic cable, usually in the feeder plant, and copper wire or cable, usually in the
distribution plant.
Broadband Services. When CLEC seeks access to a Hybrid Loop
for the provision of broadband services, including DS1 or DS3 capacity, Qwest
shall provide CLEC with non-discriminatory access on an unbundled basis to
time division multiplexing features, functions, and capabilities of that Hybrid Loop,
only where impairment has been found to exist to establish a complete
transmission path between Qwest's Central Office and an End User Customer

capabilities of the Hybrid Loop that are not used to transmit packetized
information.
Qwest is not required to unbundle packet switching
equipment, DSLAMs and other equipment used to deliver DSL services.
Narrowband Services. When CLEC seeks access to a Hybrid
Loop for the provision of narrowband services, Qwest may either:
Provide non-discriminatory access, on an unbundled basis,
to an entire Hybrid Loop capable of voice-grade service (Le., equivalent to
DSO capacity), using time division multiplexing technology; or
Provide nondiscriminatory access to a spare home-run
copper loop serving that End User Customer on an unbundled basis.
Subloop Unbundling. An Unbundled Subloop is defined as the distribution
portion of a copper Loop or hybrid Loop comprised entirely of copper wire or copper
cable that acts as a transmission facility between any point that it is Technically Feasible
to access at terminals in Qwest's outside plant (originating outside of the Central Office),
including inside wire owned or controlled by Qwest, and terminates at the End User
Customer premises. An accessible terminal is any point on the Loop where
technicians can access the wire within the cable without removing a splice case to reach
the wire within. Such points may include, but are not limited to, the pole, pedestal
Network Interface Device , minimum point of entry, single point of Interconnection
Remote Terminal, Feeder Distribution Interface (FDI), or Servil)g Area Interface (SAI).
CLEC shall not have access on an unbundled basis to a feeder sub loop defined as
facilities extending from the Central Office to a terminal that is not at the End User

ATTACHMENT 1
Customer s premises or multiple tenant environment (MTE). CLEC shall have access to
the feeder facilities only to the extent it is part of a complete transmission path, not a
subloop, between the Central Office and the End User Customer s premises or MTE.
This section does not address Unbundled Dark Fiber MTE Subloop which is addressed
in Section 3.
Qwest's obligation to construct a Single Point of Interface (SPOI)
is limited to those MTEs where Qwest has distribution facilities to that MTE and
owns, controls, or leases the inside wire at the MTE. In addition, Qwest shall
have an obligation to construct a SPOI only when CLEC indicates that it intends
to place an order for access to an unbundled Subloop Network Element via a
SPOI.
Access to Distribution Loops or Intrabuilding Cable Loops at an
MJE Terminal within a non-Qwest owned MTE is done through an MTE-POI.
Collocation is not required to access Subloops used to access the network
infrastructure within an MTE, unless CLEC requires the placement of equipment
in a Qwest Premises. Cross-Connect Collocation, refers to creation of a cross
connect field and does not constitute Collocation. The terms and conditions of
Collocation do not apply to Cross-Connect Collocation if required at or near an
MTE.
Failure To Convert Non-Impaired Services - Feeder Subloops.
Absent CLEC Transition of Feeder SubLoop, within ninety (90) Days of
Execution of this Amendment, Qwest will convert facilities to month to month
service arrangements in Qwest's Special Access Tariff. CLEC is subject to back
