PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C. §252(e)
CASE NO.: QWE-T-06-24
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERCONNCTION AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") hereby fies this Application for Approval of Amendment
to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment"), which was approved by the Idaho Public
Utilities Commssion on February 1,2007 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with MCImetro
Access Transmission Services, LLC ("MCImetro") 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 Commssion 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 pary 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 Commssion 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 Commssion, the United States Congress, and the Federal
Communications Commssion. Expeditious approval of this Amendment wil enable MCImetro
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AMNDMENT TO THE INERCONNCTION AGREEMENT - Page 1
AMNDMENT FOR DC POWER MEASURMENT
to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among
local telecommunications services.
Qwest further requests that the Commssion approve this Amendment without a hearng.
Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise issues
requiring a hearng and does not concern other paries not a pary to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this'ÃI*'day of April, 2009.Q~

RE(~E
This is an Amendment ("Amendment") to the Interconnection Agreement between Qwest
Corporation ("Qwest"), a Colorado corporation, and MCIMetro Access Transmission Services,
LLC ("CLEC"). CLEC and Qwest shall be known jointly as the "Parties".
RECITALS
WHEREAS, CLEC and Qwest entered into an Interconnection Agreement ("Agreement") which
was approved by the Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to amend the Agreement further under the terms and conditions
contained herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants and conditions contained
in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
Amendment Terms
The Agreement is hereby amended by adding terms, conditions and rates for DC Power
Measurement as set forth in Attachment 1 and Exhibit A, to this Amendment, attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference.
Rates in Exhibit A that are "Under Development" shall be updated upon establishment of a rate.
Rates in Exhibit A shall otherwise be updated to reflect legally binding decisions of the
Commission and shall be applied on a prospective basis from the effective date of the legally
binding Commission decision, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
Effective Date
This Amendment shall be deemed effective upon approval by the Commission; however, the
Parties may agree to implement the provisions of this Amendment upon execution. To
accommodate this need, CLEC must generate, if necessary, an updated Customer

by Qwest. CLEC will be notified when all system changes have been made. Actual order
processing may begin once these requirements have been met. Additionally, Qwest shall
implement any necessary biling changes within two (2) biling cycles after the latest execution
date of this Amendment, with a true-up back to the latest execution date of this Amendment by
the end of the second billng cycle. The Parties agree that so long as Qwest implements the
biling changes and the true-up as set forth above, the CLEC's bils shall be deemed accurate
and adjusted without error.

and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subjects of the
Agreement as amended and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or
representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to

ATTACHMENT 1
ATTACHMENT 1
8.2.1.30 Optional DC Power Measurement. CLEC wil order DC power to
meet its needs with a twenty (20) amperes (amp) per feed minimum. If CLEC
orders more than sixty (60) amps, Qwest typically terminates such feed on a
power board. If CLEC orders sixty (60) amps or less, the power feed typically
terminates at a battery distribution fuse board (BDFB). No power measurements
are performed at a BDFB. Therefore, for sixty (60) amps or less, the power
usage rate is based on CLEC ordered amps. For power feeds of greater than
sixty (60) amps terminated at the power board, Qwest will measure usage on a
semi-annual basis if CLEC orders Optional DC Power Measurement. Qwest wil
also take a reading within thirty (30) Days of a written request by CLEC. Qwest
wil perform a maximum of four (4) readings per year for a particular Collocation
site. Until the routine semi-annual reading or until such time that Qwest makes a
reading based on a written request, Qwest will bil CLEC based on the amount of
power ordered. Based on the reading, Qwest wil adjust the new monthly usage
rate to CLEC's actual usage rate on a going forward basis.
