COPORATION'S STATEMENT OF
GENERAL y AVAILABLE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
Case No. QWE-T-08- 04
Qwest Corporation's Motion for Extension
of Comment Deadlie and Revised
Procedural Schedule .
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.
