On September 4,2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Procedural Schedule which, among other dates, set a deadline for Staff and Intervenors to file comments or briefs concering Qwests Petition and supporting filings for October 31,2008. Thereafter, on October 23,2008, Staff filed a Motion to Extend Deadline for Comments and Vacate Hearng Date. By Order No. 30662, the Commission granted Staffs motion and extended the deadline for Staff and Intervenors to file comments or briefs to December 1,2008. The Commission also vacated the hearng date for oral arguent. As indicated in Staffs October motion, Qwest is in the process of developing an alterative approach to some of the issues raised in its Petition. On November 25,2008, Qwest distrbuted a draft proposal to Staff and Interenors that is aimed at addressing Qwest Motion for Extension of Comment Deadlie and Revised Procedural Schedule - 1 - concerns about Qwests petition to withdraw its Performance Assurance Plan ("QP AP"). The paries are scheduled to hold a conference call on December 3,2008 to review and discuss this draft proposaL. In light of these developments, Qwest believes that it is appropriate for the Commission to again extend the deadline for Intervenor and Staff input. The undersigned counsel for Qwest has reviewed this proposal with representatives ofthe Intervenors and Staff. The representatives ofIntegra Telecom and 360Networks (USA) Inc. stated they have no objection. Staff s attorney of record advised that he had also discussed the schedule change with Interenors and that no party objected to the vacation of the December 1, 2008 deadline. Following the above-described conference call of December 3,2008, Qwest intends to develop a final version of its alterative proposal for filing in the record of this docket. Thereafter Qwest suggests the following procedural schedule: . Thirty (30) days following serice of Qwest s alterative filing: Staff and Intervenor comments or briefs wil be filed and served; . Fourteen (14) days following service of Staff and Intervenor comments, Qwest wil fie responsive comments, if any. At present Qwest does not believe that it wil be necessar for the Commission to set a date for oral arguent. Based on the foregoing Qwest requests that the Commission vacate the comment deadline presently set for December 1, 2008 and adopt the schedule presented above. Respectfully submitted this 26th day of November, 2008. _,l¿tiii ~' tL L- Mar S. Hob on (ISB. No. 2142) 999 Main. uite 11 03 Boise, ID 83702 Adam L.
