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. ("DIECA") 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

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 ofthe State ofIdaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and the Federal
Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable Dieca

Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
ATTACHMENT 1
LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY
10.Local Number Portability
10.1 Description
10.Local Number Portability (LNP) is defined by the FCC as the ability of
users of Telecommunications Services to retain, at the same location, existing
Telecommunications numbers without impairment of quality, reliability, or convenience
when switching from one Telecommunications Carrier to another. Owest will allow
CLEC to port telephone numbers for its End User Customers in the same manner as
Owest ports telephone numbers for Owest End User Customers. CLEC may port
telephone numbers into and out of Owest End Office Switches on behalf of an End User
Customer using the FCC rules and industry guidelines as described in the following
Sections.
10.Owest uses the Location Routing Number (LRN) architecture. Under the
LRN architecture, each End Office Switch is assigned a unique ten-digit LRN , the first six
digits of which identify the location of that End Office Switch. The LRN technology is a
triggering and addressing method which allows the re-homing of individual telephone
numbers to other End Office Switches and ensures the proper routing of calls to ported
telephone numbers through the use of a database and the signaling network. The LRN
solution interrupts call processing through the use of an Advanced Intelligent Network
(AIN) trigger, commonly referred to as the LRN trigger. During this interruption, a query
is launched to the LNP database in the signaling network and the call is re-addressed
using the LRN information for the ported telephone number. The LRN will route the call
to the proper End Office Switch destination. The actual routing of the call with either the
dialed telephone number, for calls to non-ported telephone numbers, or the LRN, for
calls to ported telephone numbers, observes the rules, protocols and requirements of the
existing Public Office Dialing Plan (PODP).
10.2 Terms and Conditions
10.Owest will provide Local Number Portability (LNP), also known as long-
term number portability, in a non-discriminatory manner in compliance with the FCC'
rules and regulations and the guidelines of the FCC's North American Numbering
Council's (NANC) Local Number Portability Administration (LNPA) Working Group andthe Industry Numbering Committee (lNC) of the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industry Solutions (ATIS). Unless specifically excluded in Section 10.6 below, all
telephone numbers assigned to an End User Customer are available to be ported
through LNP. Mass calling events shall be handled in accordance with the industry
non-LRN recommendation (NANC's High Volume Call-In Networks dated February 18
1998).
10.Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate the expeditious
deployment of LNP. The Parties shall comply with the processes and implementation
schedules for LNP deployment prescribed by the FCC. In accordance with industry
guidelines , the publications of LNP capable End Office Switches and the schedule and
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
status for future deployment will be identified in the Local Exchange Routing Guide
(LERG).
10.In connection with the provision of LNP , the Parties agree to support and
comply with all relevant requirements or guidelines that are adopted by the FCC, or that
are agreed to by the Telecommunications industry as a national industry standard.
10.2.4 Owest will coordinate LNP with Unbundled Loop cutovers in a reasonable
amount of time and with minimum service disruption, pursuant to the Unbundled Loop
provisions identified in Section 9.2 of the Agreement. CLEC will coordinate with Owest
for the transfer of the Owest Unbundled Loop coincident with the transfer of the End
User Customer s service to Owest in a reasonable amount of time and with minimum
service disruption. For coordination with Loops not associated with Owest's Unbundled
Loop offering, CLEC may order the LNP managed cut, as described in Section 10.5.4
below.
10.2.4.Parties understand that LNP order activity must be coordinated
with facilities cutovers in order to ensure that the End User Customer is provided
with uninterrupted service. If the Party porting the telephone number
experiences problems with its port or provision of its Loop, and needs to delay or
cancel the port and any Loop disconnection, that Party shall notify the other Party
immediately. Parties will work cooperatively and take prompt action to delay or
cancel the port and any Loop disconnection in accordance with industry (LNPA'
National Number Porting Operations Team), accepted procedures to minimize
End User Customer service disruptions.
10.2.4.Parties shall transmit a port create subscription or port
concurrence message to the NPAC, in accordance with the FCC's LNPA
Working Group s guidelines. Owest will routinely send a concurrence message
within the time frames established by the industry.
10.The Parties agree to implement LNP within the guidelines set forth by the
generic technical requirements for LNP as specified in Section 21 (Network Standards)
of the Agreement.
10.Neither Party shall be required to provide Local Number Portability for
telephone numbers that are excluded by FCC rulings (e.g. 500 and 900 NPAs, 950 and
976 NXX number services).
10.After an End Office Switch becomes equipped with LNP, all NXXs
assigned to that End Office Switch will be defined as portable, to the extent Technically
Feasible, and translations will be changed in each Party s Switches so that the portable
NXXs are available for LNP database queries. When an NXX is defined as portable , it
will also be defined as portable in all LNP-capable End Office Switches that have direct
trunks to the End Office Switch associated with the portable NXX.
10.Each Party shall offer Local Number Portability to End User Customers
for any portion of an existing DID block without being required to port the entire block of
DID telephone numbers. Each Party shall permit End User Customers who port a
portion of DID telephone numbers to retain DID service on the remaining portion of the
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
DID telephone numbers.
10.At the time of porting a telephone number via LNP from Qwest, Owest
shall ensure that the LlDB entry for that telephone number is de-provisioned if the Qwest
LlDB is not being used by CLEC.
10.10 Both Parties agree to follow the LNP End Office Switch request process
established by the Parties and in compliance with industry guidelines.
10.11 NXX Migration, or Local Exchange Routing Guide Reassignment
reassigns the entire Central Office Code (NXX) to CLEC's End Office Switch if the code
is used solely for one End User Customer. Where one Party has activated an entire
NXX for a single End User Customer, or activated a substantial portion of an NXX for a
single End User Customer with the remaining telephone numbers in the NXX either
reserved for future use or otherwise unused , if such End User Customer chooses to
receive service from the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party
to have the entire NXX reassigned to an End Office Switch operated by the second Party
through the NANP administrator. In addition, both Parties agree to cooperate
arranging necessary updates and industry notification in the LERG (and associated
industry databases, routing tables , etc.). Such transfer will be accomplished with
appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to appropriate industry lead-
times (as identified in the LERG and the Central Office Code Administration guidelines)
for movement of NXXs from one End Office Switch to another. Other applications of
NXX migration will be discussed by the Parties as circumstances arise.
10.12 In connection with all LNP requests , the Parties agree to comply with the
National Emergency Number Association (NENA) recommended standards for service
provider Local Number Portability (NENA-02-011), as may be updated from time to time
regarding unlocking and updating End User Customers' telephone number records in the
911/Automatic Location Information (All) database. The Current Service Provider shall
send the 911 unlock record on the completion date of the order to the 911 database
administrator.
10.13 Porting of Reserved Numbers. The End User Customers of each Party
may port Reserved Numbers from one Party to the other Party via LNP. Qwest will port
telephone numbers previously reserved by the End User Customer via the appropriate
retail Tariffs until these reservations expire. Qwest will reserve telephone numbers in
accordance with the FCC's rules.
10.14 Limits on Subscriber Relocation. Qwest and CLEC agree that an End
User Customer may geographically relocate at the same time as it ports its telephone
number, using LNP , to the New Service Provider; provided , however, that the Current
Service Provider may require that the End User Customer s relocation at the time of the
port to the New Service Provider be limited to the geographic area represented by the
NXX of the ported telephone number. The Current Service Provider may not impose a
relocation limitation on the New Service Provider or the New Service Provider
subscribers that is more restrictive than that which the Current Service Provider would
impose upon its own subscribers with telephone numbers having the same NXX as the
telephone number(s) being ported. In addition, the Current Service Provider may not
impose any restrictions on relocation within the same Rate Center by a ported End User
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
Customer while that End User Customer is served by the New Service Provider.
10.3 Service Management System
10.Each Party shall sign the appropriate NPAC user agreement(s) and
obtain certification from the appropriate NPAC administrator(s) that the Party or the
Party s Service Order Administration (SOA) and Local Service Management System
(LSMS) vendor(s) has systems and equipment that are compatible with the NPAC'
established protocols and that the application of such systems and equipment is
compatible with the NPAC.
10.Each Party shall cooperate to facilitate the administration of the SMS
through the process prescribed in the documents referenced in Section 21 (Network
Standards) of the Agreement.
10.4 Database and Ouery Services
10.2.4.The LNP database provides the call routing information used by Qwest'
End Office Switches and Tandem Switches to route CLEC's End User Customer s calls
to a ported telephone number or to terminate calls to CLEC's End User Customers using
a ported telephone number. Owest shall perform default LNP queries where CLEC is
unable to perform its own query. CLEC shall perform default LNP queries where Qwest
is unable to perform its own query. Owest query services and charges are defined in
FCC Tariff #5, including End Office and Tandem Switch Default Query Charges which
are contained in Tariff Section 13 (Miscellaneous Service) and Database Ouery Charges
which are contained in Tariff Section 20 (CCSAC Service Applications).
10.2.4.For local calls to a NXX in which at least one (1) telephone number has
been ported via LNP at the request of CLEC, the Party that owns the originating Switch
shall query an LNP database as soon as the call reaches the first LNP-capable Switch in
the call path. The Party that owns the originating Switch shall query on a local call to a
NXX in which at least one (1) telephone number has been ported via LNP prior to any
attempts to route the call to any other Switch. Prior to the first telephone number in a
NXX being ported via LNP at the request of CLEC , Qwest may query all calls directed to
the NXX, subject to the Billing provisions as discussed in Section 10.2.4.1 above and
provided that Qwest queries shall not adversely affect the quality of service to CLEC'
End User Customers as compared to the service Owest provides its own End User
Customers.
10.2.4.A Party shall be charged for a LNP query by the other Party only if the
Party to be charged is the N-1 Carrier and it was obligated to perform the LNP query but
failed to do so. Parties are not obligated to perform the LNP query prior to the first port
requested in a NXX.
10.2.4.4 On calls originating from a Party s network, the Party will populate , if
Technically Feasible , the Jurisdiction Information Parameter (JIP) with the first six digits
of the originating LRN in the SS7 Initial Address Message.
10.2.4.Each Party shall cooperate in the process of porting telephone numbers
from one Carrier to another so as to limit service outage for the ported End User
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
Customer. Owest shall update its LNP database from the NPAC SMS data within fifteen
(15) minutes of receipt of a download from the NPAC SMS.
10.Ordering
10.Both Parties shall comply with ordering standards as developed by the
industry and as described in Section 12 (OSS) of the Agreement. LNP service is
ordered via a Local Service Request and associated LNP forms. CLEC may order LNP
either manually or through an electronic interface. The electronic gateway solution for
ordering service is described in Section 12 (OSS) of this Agreement.
10.Standard Due Date Intervals. Service intervals for LNP are described
below. These intervals include the time for Firm Order Confirmation (FOC). Orders
received after 7:00 p.m. (Mountain time) are considered the next business day. The
following service intervals have been established for LNP:
Telephone Numbers Interval*
To Port
Simple (1 FR/1 FB)3 business days
(includes FOC
24 hr interval)
4 business days
(includes FOC
24 hr interval)
51 or more Project Basis
Complex (PBX
Trunks, ISDN
Centrex)
5 business days
(includes FOC
24 hr interval)
26 or more Project Basis
Intervals for LNP with Unbundled Loops shall be governed by Section 9.2 (Unbundled
Loops) of the Agreement.
10.Most LNP order activity is flow-through , meaning that the ten (10) digit
unconditional trigger , or Line Side Attribute (LSA) trigger, can be set automatically.
CLEC may request any Due Date/Frame Due Time (DD/FDT) where the trigger can be
set automatically, although there may be some instances when Owest or the Number
Portability Administration Center/Service Management System (NPAC/SMS) will provide
prior electronic notice of specific blocks of time which cannot be used as a DD/FDT due
to scheduled maintenance or other circumstances. If the DD/FDT on a flow-though cut
is outside Owest's normal business hours for LNP, Owest will have personnel available
in the repair center to assist in the event that CLEC experiences problems during the
cut. In addition, Owest allows CLEC to request a managed cut on a 24 X 7 basis in
those situations where a cut would otherwise have been flow-through , but where CLEC
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
has a business need to have Owest personnel dedicated to the cut. The terms and
conditions for managed cuts are described in 10.5.4.
10.Owest will set the ten (10) digit unconditional trigger for
telephone numbers to be ported , unless technically infeasible, by 11 :59 p.
(local time) on the business day preceding the scheduled port date. (A 10-digit
unconditional trigger cannot be set for DID services in AXE10 and DMS10 End
Office Switches thus managed cuts are required, at no charge.) The ten (10)
digit unconditional trigger and End Office Switch translations associated with the
End User Customer s telephone number will not be removed, nor will Owest
disconnect the End User Customer s Billing and account information , until 11 :59
m. (local time) of the next business day after the Due Date. CLEC is required
to make timely notifications of Due Date changes or cancellations by 8:00 p.
(mountain time) on the Due Date through a supplemental LSR order. In the
event CLEC does not make a timely notification CLEC may submit a late
notification to Owest as soon as possible but in no event later than 12:00 p.
(mountain time) the next business day after the Due Date to Owest'
Interconnect Service Center in the manner set forth below. For a late notification
properly submitted , Owest agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the End
User Customer s service is not disconnected prior to 11 :59 p.m. of the next
business day following the new Due Date or, in the case of a cancellation , no
disruption of the End User Customer s existing service. Late notifications must
be made by calling Owest's Interconnect Service Center followed by CLEC
submitting a confirming supplemental LSR order.
10.5.4 LNP Managed Cut With CLEC-Provided Loop: A managed cut permits
CLEC to select a project managed cut for LNP. Managed cuts are offered on a 24 X 7
basis.
10.5.4.The date and time for the managed cut requires up-front
planning and may need to be coordinated between Owest and CLEC. All
requests will be processed on a first come , first served basis and are subject to
Owest's ability to meet a reasonable demand. Considerations such as system
downtime, Switch upgrades, Switch maintenance , and the possibility of other
CLECs requesting the same FDT in the same End Office Switch (Switch
contention) must be reviewed. In the event that any of these situations would
occur, Owest will coordinate with CLEC for an agreed upon FDT, prior to issuing
the Firm Order Confirmation (FOC). In special cases where a FDT must be
agreed upon , the interval to reach agreement will not exceed two (2) days. In
addition, standard intervals will apply.
10.5.4.CLEC shall request a managed cut by submitting a Local
Service Request (LSR) and designating this order as a managed cut in the
remarks section of the LSR form.
10.5.4.CLEC will incur additional charges for the managed cut
dependent upon the FDT. The rates are based upon whether the request is
within Owest's normal business hours or out of hours. Owest's normal business
hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p., End User Customer local time, Monday through
Friday. The rate for managed cuts during normal business hours is the standard
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
rate. The rate for managed cuts out of hours, except for Sundays and Holidays
is the overtime rate. Sundays and Holidays are at premium rate.
10.5.4.4 Charges for managed cuts shall be based upon actual hours
worked in one-half (112) hour increments. Exhibit A of this Amendment contains
the rates for managed cuts. CLEC understands and agrees that in the event
CLEC does not make payment for managed cuts, unless disputed as permitted
under Section 5.4 (Payment) of the Agreement, Owest shall not accept any new
LSR requests for managed cuts.
10.5.4.Owest will schedule the appropriate number of employees prior
to the cut, normally not to exceed three (3) employees, based upon information
provided by CLEC. CLEC will also have appropriate personnel scheduled for the
negotiated FDT. If CLEC's information is modified during the cut, and, as a
result, non-scheduled employees are required , CLEC shall be charged a three
(3) hour minimum callout charge per each additional non-scheduled employee. If
the cut is either cancelled, or supplemented to change the Due Date, within
twenty-four (24) hours of the negotiated FDT, CLEC will be charged a one
person three (3) hour minimum charge. If the cut is cancelled due to a Owest
error or a new Due Date is requested by Owest within twenty-four (24) hours of
the negotiated FDT, Owest may be charged by CLEC one person three (3) hour
minimum charge as set forth in Exhibit A.
10.5.4.In the event that the LNP managed cut conversion is not
successful, CLEC and Owest agree to isolate and fix the problem in a timeframe
acceptable to CLEC or the End User Customer. If the problem cannot be
corrected within an acceptable timeframe to CLEC or the End User Customer
CLEC may request the restoral of Owest service for the ported End User
Customer. Such restoration shall begin immediately upon request. If CLEC is in
error then a supplemental order shall be provided to Owest. If Owest is in error
no supplemental order or additional order will be required of CLEC.
10.5.4.Owest shall ensure that any LNP order activity requested in
conjunction with a managed cut shall be implemented in a manner that avoids
interrupting service to the End User Customer, including, without limitation
ensuring that the End User Customer s Owest Loop will not be disconnected prior
to confirmation that CLEC's Loop has been successfully installed.
10.Maintenance and Repair
10.Each Party is responsible for its own End User Customers and will have
the responsibility for resolution of any service trouble report(s) from its End User
Customers. End User Customers will be instructed to report all cases of trouble to their
Current Service Provider.
10.Each Party will provide its respective End User Customers the correct
telephone numbers to call for access to its respective repair bureau. Each Party will
provide its repair contact telephone numbers to one another on a reciprocal basis.
10.Owest will work cooperatively with CLEC to isolate and resolve trouble
April 25, 2007/msd/DIECA dba Covad/LNP/ID
Amendment to CDS-050818-0009 - (from 4-30-07 Template)
reports. When the trouble condition has been isolated and found to be within a portion
of the Owest network, Owest will perform standard tests and isolate and repair the
trouble within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of the report.
10.6.4 Owest will proactively test new Switch features and service offerings to
ensure there are no problems with either the porting of telephone numbers or calls from
Owest End User Customers to CLEC End User Customers with ported telephone
numbers or vice versa.
10.Rate Elements
10.Owest will comply with FCC and Commission rules on cost recovery for
Local Number Portability.
