AN INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C. §252(e)
CASE NO.: QWE- T -06-03
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 March 7, 2006 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with Navigator
Telecommunications, LLC ("Navigator") 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 carer 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 Commssion. Expeditious approval of this Amendment wil enable Navigator
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT - Page i
Qwest Local Services Platform Agreement
to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among
local 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 pary to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further tl~UbliC interest.
. Respectfully submitted thiS~ day of November, 2010.

Availabilty:Notes:
1. According to this definition, the Applicable Due Date can
change, per successive CLEC-initiateddue date changes or
delays, up to the point when a Qwest-initiated due date change
occurs. At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed
(Le., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set
prior to the first Qwest-initiated due date change, if any.
Following the first Qwest-initiated due date change, any further
CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as
time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula.
These delay time intervals are calculated as stated in the
description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple
Qwest-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for
calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of Qwest-
initiated due date change and subsequent CLEC-initiated due
date change or delay.. The intervals thus calculated from each
pairing of Qwest and CLEC-initiated due dates are summed
and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result of
.this approach is that Qwest-initiated impacts on intervals are
counted in the reported interval, and CLEC-initiated impacts on
intervals are not counted in the reported intervaL.
Performance wil be
measured beginning in the
first full month of QLSP
service (for the following
month's reporting).
