QWE-T-08-04 QWEST’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF COMMENT DEADLINE On November 26, 2008, Qwest filed a Motion for Extension of Comment Deadline and Revised Procedural Schedule requesting that the Commission vacate the December 1, 2008 filing date for comments by Staff and intervenors. The Commission already vacated an earlier Staff and intervenor filing date because Qwest had expressed an interest in presenting an alternative to withdrawal of its Statement of Generally Available Terms (SGAT). In its Motion filed November 26, Qwest confirms that it is developing an alternative approach to withdrawal of the SGAT, and that the parties are scheduled to hold a conference call on December 3, 2008 to review and discuss the draft proposal. Accordingly, Qwest requests that the Commission vacate the December 1, 2008 filing deadline and develop a new procedural schedule to consider Qwest’s alternative filing Staff recommends that the Commission grant Qwest’s Motion to vacate the December 1, 2008 filing deadline for Staff and intervenors, and approve a new procedural schedule after Qwest files its alternative proposal.
