BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
PETITION FOR WAIVER OF FCC
THRESHOLD REQUIRMENTS FOR
NUMERIG RESOURCES FOR
NAMPA, IDAHO
Case No. QWE-T-ll- 07
REQUEST FOR WAIVER FOR ADDITIONAL NUMERIG RESOURCES
Qwest Corporation dba CentuLink QC (Qwest), by and though its undersigned
attorneys, and pursuant to IDAPA 31.01.01.256, files the following Request for Waiver
of cerain FCC threshold requirements for the release of numberng resources. Qwest
petitions the Commission for review of the denal by the adstrator of the North
American Numberng Plan, NeuStar, of Qwest s application for use of central office, code
numberg resources in area code 208.
REQUEST for WAIVER - 1 -
Specifically, Qwest requests waiver of the utilzation threshold requirements
outlined in the FCC's Numberng Resource Optimzation Orders, FCC 00-429 and FCC
01-362 released in CC Docket No. 99-200. Such waiver would allow NeuStar the
authority to provide 1,000 sequential numbers to Qwest.
The 1,000 numbers in question are requested in the 208 NP A in the Nampa Rate
Center, and are required to meet a specific customer need in the Nampa communty.
Qwests customer requires 1,000 sequential number in an NX3 format to be
incorporated into an existing dialing plan. Qwest s customer requests that these numbers
be made available as soon as possible. The customer wil begi using the numbers as
soon as the waiver is granted and the numbers are released for serice. The numbers wil
be added to existing inventory to accommodate the customer's expansion of operations.
The customer's request is attached hereto as Confidential Attchment A.
On August 2,2011 Qwest submitted the customer's request for numberng
resources to NeuStar. See Attchment B. The request was imediately denied due to the
''months to exhaust" calculation for the Nampa Rate Center. See Attchment C. The
waiver requested here is for the ''months to exhaust" usage threshold for numberng
requests.
The FCC perts a waiver of the kind requested here when there is a
demonstrated need, such as a specific customer request for numbers. The waiver process
is specifically addressed in the FCC Third Report and Order ("Order") as the "safety
valve" process. See FCC 01-362, iM57-66 (Mar. 14,2002). The Order delegates the
REQUEST for WAIVER - 2-
authority to hear requests for waivers to the state commissioner and recommends that
state commissions act expeditiously. See ¡d., iM61, 66.
Qwest respectfully requests that the Commission approve this Request for Waiver
of the ''months to exhaust" theshold requirements and direct NeuSta to provide 1,000
sequential numbers in the NX3 in the Nampa Rate Center in the 208 NPA as outlined
above, to meet Qwests customer's request.
Submitted this 5th day of August, 2011.
Respectfully submitted,~~/l b~
