Use of Standards
As described below, A T& T and WEST agree to implement each interface described
below based upon existing and evolving industry standards or as mutually agreed upon.
The Parties shall transition the electronic interfaces to industry standards within
timeframe mutually agreed to.
Reimbursement
Scope
Reimbursement for operational interfaces shall be as determined by the appropriate
regulatory agency as set forth in this Interconnection Agreement.
This Attachment addresses the real-time transaction based protocols and transport
networks that will be used to exchange information for:
Preorder/Ordering/Provisioning for Service Resale (SR) and Customer Specific
Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs)
Maintenance/Repair for SR and UNEs
It also addresses the batch protocols and transport networks that will be used
exchange information for:
Recorded Customer Usage for SR and UNE
Wholesale Billing for SR and UNE
Recorded Usage Receivables for UNE
Local Account Maintenance for SR and UNE
Directory Assistance Database
The preceding list of information to be exchanged is intended to be exemplary and does
not represent comprehensive list of such information to be exchanged between the
parties.
A T& T and U WEST will use at least one method of exchanging preorder
information which will
be real-time transaction based. A T& T and US WEST may also assess and determine
the arrangements and conditions to support Batch file transmittal for certain types of
preorder information related to the Street Address Guide and Switch/Feature/Facility
availability.
System Interfaces
For Pre-order, Order and Provisioning, an exchange protocol, such as that based upon
subset of Common Management Interface Protocol (CMIP) transactions referred to
Electronic Communications-Lite (EC-Lite), will be used to transport Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) formatted content. A T& T and U WEST will use TCP/IP based
transport network for the exchange of EDI transactions. A T& T and U WEST will
translate ordering and provisioning requests from the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF)
forms into EDI transactions using mutually agreed to mappings. The Service Order

SubCommittee (SOSC) of the Telecommunications Industry Forum/Electronic Data
Interchange (TCIF/EDI) committee interpretations of the 850, 855, 860, 864, 865, 870,
and 977 transactions, in accordance with the OBF forms, will be used to convey all the
necessary data to connect; modify or disconnect local exchange services.
For Maintenance and Repair, the CMIP transactions referred to as Electronic Bonding
Trouble Administration (EB- T A) will be used. A T& T and WEST will use an X25
transport network which is the currently defined standard.
For Billing, A T& T and US WEST will use EDI 811 and OBF Billing Output Specification
(BOS) formats via CONNECT:Direct. Section 13 further defines the conditions when one
or the other format will be used.
For Local Account Maintenance (LAM), A T& T and US WEST agree to use
CONNECT:Direct.
For Directory Assistance Database Information, A T& T and WEST agree to use
batch protocol and transport network that is yet to be determined and will be addressed in
the Joint Implementation Agreement (JIA) described in Section 18 of this Attachment.
Modifications to OBF forms that are required due to the absence of or existence of
unnecessary data fields, contents, or formats will be addressed in the Joint
Implementation Agreement described in Section 18 this Attachment ("JIA'
Real Time Performance
6.2
The pre-order real time interface will support the A T& T customer contact as executed
within A T& T's Sales and Service Centers. Gateway-to-gateway query-response cycle
time performance requirements will be specified as part of the Joint Implementation
Agreement described in Section 18 of this Attachment.
The transaction response time U WEST provides to A T& T Sales and Service Centerwill be equal in quality with that which U WEST provides to itself or other
telecommunications carriers. For purposes of this Attachment, U WEST agrees to
provide A T& T benchmarking information for end-user performance based on transaction
volumes (nominal light volume, standard typical volume, and worst case heavy
volume)A T& T. A T& T may request an improvement in the transaction response time
WEST provides to A T& T's Sales and Service Center above that which U WEST
provides to itself or other telecommunications carriers. through the Bona Fide Request
Process, which is defined in the Part A of this Interconnection Agreement should cycle
times not meet A T& T's business requirements.
Compliance with Industry Standards
A T& T and WEST agree to discuss the modification of these interfaces based upon
evolving standards (e., data elements, protocols, transport networks, etc.) and
guidelines issued by or referenced by relevant Alliance for Telecommunication Industry
Solution (A TIS) committees. Establishment of new or changes to industry standards and
guidelines will be reviewed on no less than an annual basis commencing on the Effective
Date of this Interconnection Agreement. This review will consider standards and
guidelines that have reached final closure as well as those published in final form. Both
USWC/AT&T Interconnection Agreement -Idaho

7.2
Attachment 6 Page
parties agree to evaluate evolving standards and mutually determine the relevant
modification to be implemented based upon the latest approved version adopted or the
latest version reflecting final closure by the relevant (A TIS) committee or subcommittee.
The parties will use reasonable effort to reach closure upon the necessary changes within
no more than three(3) months of initiating each review and to implement the changes
within nine(9) months or earlier, if reasonably possible, unless there is mutual agreement
to different implementation schedule.
In the course of establishing operational ready system interfaces between U WEST and
A T& T to support Local Service delivery, A T& T and U WEST may need to define and
implement system interface specifications that are supplemental to existing standards.
Where mutually agreed to, A T& T and WEST will submit such specifications to the
appropriate standards committee and will work towards its acceptance as a standard.
Scheduled Availability
8.2
A T& T and WEST agree to an operational/production readiness as soon as possible
with target date of November , 1997 for the delivery of all systems interfaces described
within this document, with the mutual understanding that (1) product delivery content is
dependent on requirements definition and the time required to develop to these
requirements and (2) operational readiness is dependent upon satisfactory test results for
the transaction volumes projected by A T& T. A T& T and U WEST agree to work to
mutually identify, prioritize and track those functions which may need to be positioned in
subsequent systems interface delivery. These functions will be jointly reviewed to define
the time frame for development of subsequent releases of the system interfaces and
establish mutually agreeable delivery dates.
A T& T and U WEST agree that project schedules, timelines, milestone deliverables
reporting processes, among others will be specified in the Joint Implementation
Agreement (Section 18). These schedules and deliverables will be reviewed and revised
as needed as part of regularly scheduled meetings conducted throughout the
development/implementation cycle.
Pre-Order
The Parties agree that the exchange of preordering information for resale services and for
services provided using UNEs will be transmitted over the same interface.
A T& T and U WEST will establish transaction-based electronic communications
interface based upon the most current (as of the Effective Date of this Interconnection
Agreement) version of the Service Order Subcommittee (SOSC) implementation guideline
for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). An exchange protocol, such as Electronic
Communications-Lite (EC-Lite) will be used to transport EDI formatted content necessary
to perform inquiries including but not limited to: Switch/Feature/Facility Availability,
Address Verification, Telephone Number Assignment, Appointment Scheduling, and
Customer Service Record requests. Without limiting other restrictions which may apply,
Customer Service Records are provided for the limited purpose of supporting the resale of
WEST local exchange services by A T& T or the sale of unbundled elements on behalf
of that customer. The use of records in manner not associated with the ordering
process, is expressly forbidden, and is violation of the terms of this Interconnection

10.4
10.
When AT&T is the customer of record for the resold local exchange service(s), the
exchange of information relating to the ordering and provisioning of local exchange
service will be based upon the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited
Standards Committee (ASC) X12 Standards as documented by the SOSC of the
Telecommunications Industry Forum/Electronic Data Interchange (TCIF/EDI) committee.
The Implementation Guidelines for Electronic Data Interchange EDI Guidelines Customer
Services Issue will be used as a baseline for implementation despite the fact that this
document may not have reached final approval stage by the Effective Date of this
Interconnection Agreement. An exchange protocol, such as EC-Lite will be used to
transport EDI formatted content. The information exchange will be forms-based, using
Local Service Request (LSR) Form, End User Information Form, and the Resale Service
Form developed by the OBF as specified in the August 1996 version of the OBF forms in
Bellcore SR STS-4710XX, and for Directory Listings, included with local service
request, as specified in SR STS-471102.
The end-user specific UNE order will be based upon OBF LSR forms. The applicable
SOSC implementation guidelines described previously also apply to the End-user Specific
Provisioning UNE orders. U WEST and A T& T agree that the information exchange will
be forms-based using the Local Service Request Form, End User Information Form, Loop
Service Form (which may ultimately be renamed the Loop Element form) and Port Form
(which may ultimately be renamed the Switch Element Form) developed by the OBF.
End-user-specific elements, or combinations thereof1O3 to be supported in UNE orders
shall be as permitted in the applicable Interconnection Agreement for unbundled elements
and subject to FCC and state regulatory requirements.
Subject to regulatory direction or mutual agreement relative to the requirement of
providing combinations of UNE components, AT&T and US WEST will establish a
method to relate, track and process as a single entity the individual U S WEST
provided End-user specific UNE components specified at the time of the initial
order.104
A T& T and WEST will use the same transaction based protocol, such as EC-Lite, and
transport network specified for service resale for End-user specific UNE orders.
The ordering of common use (non-end user specific) UNEs as may be permitted under
the Interconnection Agreement for unbundled elements and subject to FCC and state
regulatory requirements, will be supported by process separate from that described in
the preceding paragraphs for end-user-specific UNEs, such system to be the same
similar to the mechanized process used for trunk service requests or another process
system as appropriate and determined by mutual agreement. Unless U WEST is
otherwise requiredby A T& T, this process will not employ the electronic interfaces
specified in this Attachment Agreement, unless modified by separate agreement.
U S WEST will support, if and to the extent required by law, this Interconnection
Agreement or mutually agreed to, interconnection and operation of End-user

specific UNEs used in combination with common use UNEs.1O5 The systems and
ordering process as outlined herein is separate and apart from the Bona Fide Request
Process agreed to by the parties. The Joint Implementation Agreement (Section 18 of this
Attachment 6.) will address the details related to defining mechanism to correlate End-
user-specific UNE orders placed via system interfaces with Common Use UNEs that may
have been previously ordered.
WEST will accept an 860 transaction that contains the complete refresh of the
previously provided order information (under the original 850 transaction) simultaneously
with the delivery of supplemental (new/revised) information from A T& T, subject to
mutually agreed upon business rules. This treatment with respect to the 860 transaction
will be accepted by both parties until the SOSC explicitly clarifies the information
exchanges associated with supplementing orders, or A T& T and U WEST mutually
agree to change the treatment.
Maintenance and Repair

11.
The exchange of maintenance and repair information, for both U WEST retail local
exchange services to be resold by A T& T and for services A T& T provides using
WEST UNE or combinations of U S WEST UNEs 106 will be transmitted over the
same interface.
For the purpose of exchanging fault management information, A T& T and WEST will
establish an electronic bonding interface, based upon ANSI standards T1.227-1995 and
T1.228-1995, and Electronic Communication Implementation Committee (ECIC) Trouble
Report Format Definition (TRFD) Number 1 as defined in ECIC document ECIC/TRA/95-
003, and all standards referenced within those documents. The parties will use the
functions currently implemented for reporting access circuit troubles. These functions
include, but are not limited to: Enter Trouble, Request Trouble Report Status, Add
Trouble Information, Modify Trouble Report Attributes, Trouble Report Attribute Value
Change (A VC) Notification and Cancel Trouble Report, all of which are fully explained in
ANSI T1.227/T1.228-1995. Additional functions not currently implemented by the parties
or defined by the standards may be supported by mutual agreement (e.g. Test Access
and Trouble History).
Modifications that are required due to the absence of or existence of unnecessary data
fields, contents or formats will be addressed in the Joint Implementation Agreement (JIA)
described in Section 18 of this Agreement.
12.Recorded Customer Usage
12.US WEST will record the mutually agreed upon customer usage data that A T& T requires
for its retail local service customers. The content of such data will be based upon
mutually agreeable interpretation of the BellCore Exchange Message Record (EMR)
format to be documented within the JIA. U WEST will provide electronic transmission of
the recorded data using CONNECT:Direct daily on Monday through Friday on schedule
to be determined in the Joint Implementation Agreement (excluding holidays). This
interface and format will be used to deliver recorded usage when A T& T is reselling retail

14.
Billing information for unbundled loop and port elements that are flat rated will be provided
in single EDI 811 format across all US WEST regions via Connect Direct. Billing
information for unbundled trunks/interoffice transport elements that are flat rated will be
provided in BOS format via Connect Direct and will appear in the Customer Service
Record of the facility bill. Billing information for SR products and services that are flat
rated will be provided in single EDI 811 format across all US WEST regions via
Connect Direct. Exceptions include, but are not limited to, frame relay which will be
provided in BOS format via Connect Direct. The display of rating codes and the
associated charge will be mutually agreed upon in both formats. Charges associated with
specific loop will reflect the circuit ID format.
For usage-rated billing, U WEST will issue bills to A T& T for SR/UNE in the formats
described under the flat-rated SR/UNE billing section. Usage rated billing for SR/UNE will
be uniquely identified and displayed in the Usage Sections of the bill. For products using
BOS format, jurisdiction will be specified per BOS guidelines. Conversation time, by
chargeable traffic type, will be displayed and billed per applicable tariffs. Delivery of
usage rated SR/UNE bills will be provided as described under the flat-rated SR/UNE
billing section.
UNEs which U WEST agrees to provide, under the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, or to the extent required by law, that are recombined as a single
service1O7
will be grouped together by U WEST and displayed together on the bill.

Recorded UNE Local or Access Usage Receivables
14.
14.
WEST will record all agreed upon originating and terminating usage billed to and
associated with UNE provided by U WEST to A T& T. The usage recorded will be in
the same BellCore Exchange Message Record format discussed within Section 12 and
will be subject to the same terms and conditions for modification and/or replacement of
the format as discussed in Section IX
A T& T and U WEST will mutually agree upon the Local and Long Distance access
customer usage data recording that U WEST will provide to A T& T consistent with FCC
and State regulatory guidelines and requirements so that A T& T may bill other carriers for
the local and exchange access usage charges to which A T& T is entitled, if any. A T& T
and U WEST will perform mutually agreeable systems testing, as documented in the
Joint Implementation Agreement (Section 18), as soon as possible with target date of
November , 1997.
WEST will provide electronic transmission of the recorded usage using
CONNECT:Direct daily on Monday through Friday on schedule to be determined in the

for delivery of Recorded Customer Usage, discussed in Section will be used for
delivery of the recorded usage discussed in this section.
Local Account Maintenance
15.
15.
15.
15.4
When acting as the switch provider for A T& T, where A T& T either is reselling retail
services of US WEST or employing UNEs to provide local service, U WEST will notify
A T& T whenever the local service customer transfers service from A T& T to another local
service provider. U WEST will provide this notification via CONNECT:Direct using
mutually agreeable digit Local Use Transaction Code Status Indicator (TCSI) that will be
used to indicate that the retail customer is terminating local service with A T& T. This
notice will be provided on the next processing day after implementing the transfer, where
processing days are Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). The TCSI, sent by
WEST, will be in the 960 byte industry standard CARE record format.
A T& T and U WEST will process account changes that affect only the pre-subscribed
intraLATA and/or interLATA toll provider (PIC) via Change service order form using the
same EC-Lite transaction based protocol and transport network employed for ordering
resale service as specified in Section 10.
When appropriate regulatory guidelines exist, the mechanism U WEST will use the
industry standard CARE message TCSI 3148 to reject an interexchange carrier initiated
change of the Primary Interexchange Carrier (PIC), where U WEST is the switch
provider either for the retail local services of U WEST that A T& T resells or UNEs of
WEST that A T& T employs in providing service, will be the industry standard CARE
message TCS13148.
Agreement by U WEST and A T& T to the Local Account Maintenance described above
does not, in any way, set precedence or remove any obligation for U WEST and
A T& T to work towards an industry solution for supporting customer movement between
and among other ILECs and CLECs.
Directory Assistance Database
16.
16.
A T& T and U WEST will use batch protocol and transport network to exchange
Directory Assistance Database information similar to existing U WEST listings products
(i., DA EUSL, DA EUSL Updates). The specific protocol and transport network to be
used has not been determined or mutually agreed to and will be specified in the JIA.
Without limiting other restrictions which may apply, directory service listing products are
provided for the limited purpose of supporting provision of services as outlined in the
Interconnection Agreement. The use of listings in manner not associated with this use
is expressly forbidden, and is violation of the terms of the Interconnection Agreement.
Testing and Acceptance
17.The Parties will test the interfaces developed under this Attachment, and the intent of the
end-to-end integrity testing is to establish, through the submission and processing of test
cases, that transactions agreed to by A T& T and U WEST will successfully process, in

timely and accurate manner, through both parties' supporting OSS as well as the
interfaces. Irreconcilable differences regarding the interpretation of operational status of
the interfaces will be handled through the Dispute Resolution Process to be defined
inSection 27 of Part A of this the Interconnection Agreement approved by the
Commission.
An interoperability testing suite shall ensure the implementation of functions, capabilities
and acceptance criteria enumerated in the JIA, with both parties agreeing to resolve any
material defects in the software.
The test process shall include series of tests in which the transactions, representative of
the predominant business transactions associated with local customer servicing, are
performed side-by-side using the mediated access gateway interface to U WEST
Legacy systems and the Legacy system interface utilized by U WEST service
representatives and repair attendants. The purpose of this series of tests will be to verify
that the performance and response times visible to user of the mediated access
gateway for nominal and worst case scenarios with the same level of quality in
accordance with the Act.
WEST does not warrant that its systems and access to those systems will be error-
free.
Products and services already billed via the Integrated Access Billing System (lABS) will
be included in the existing pre-bill certification process for general availability and re-
certification process conducted in accordance with current practices. For products and
services billed outside of lABS, the parties will work towards establishing mutually
agreed upon pre-bill certification process.
A T& T and WEST agree that metrics are required in order to monitor the performance
and assure the on-going delivery of non-discriminatory access to U WEST systems for
Pre-Order/Ordering/Provisioning, Maintenance/Repair, Billing, and Directory Assistancedatabases. A performance measurement plan that addresses the definition
measurement, and review of quality, timeliness, accuracy and availability of each
interface and associated transactions or files will be jointly developed and documented
within the JIA for each interface.
A T& T and US WEST agree to periodic status meetings to review the overall progress
toward introducing fully operational interfaces capabilities as soon as possible with
target date of November , 1997.
Results of testing shall be considered Confidential Information, except that such results
may be provided pursuant to this Agreement and law.
Joint Implementation Agreement Development
18.A T& T and WEST recognize that the preceding provisions are not sufficient to resolve
all, technical and operational details related to the interfaces described. Therefore, A T& T
and U WEST agree to document the additional, technical and operational details in the
form of Joint Implementation Agreement (JIA). The purpose of the JIA is to establish
the working details of the systems interfaces between the two parties, and as such, they
will not be submitted to the state commissions for approval as amendments to the

Interconnection Agreement. These JIA may be modified, by mutual agreement, over thelife of the Interconnection Agreement without subjecting the balance of the
Interconnection Agreement to renegotiation or modification.
Both parties further agree that any technical, operational or implementation issues directly
associated with the systems interfaces, once identified at the working team level, may be
escalated by the initiative of either party thirty (30) days after an issue is identified. The
escalation will proceed first to the senior management of both companies who will seek to
resolve the issue. Within 14 days of acceptance of this Interconnection Agreement, A T& T
and U WEST will document the agreed upon escalation process including the names
and contact information of responsible senior management. If an issue is not resolved
within thirty days following receipt of the issue by senior management, either party may
submit the issue to the Alternative Dispute resolution process contained in the
Interconnection Agreement approved by the applicable state commission.
A T& T and U WEST will document an overall project implementation schedule within
sixty (60) days of signing this Interconnection Agreement. This schedule will be mutually
binding and can be modified by mutual consent.
In addition, A T& T and WEST agree to document both topical outline for the JIA
and establish schedule for identifying, discussing, resolving and documenting resolution
of issues related to each aspect of the JIA topical outline for each interface discussed in
this document. In no case will either end to end integrity testing or load testing begin
without both parties mutually agreeing that each interface JIA documents the intended
operation of the interface scheduled for testing. In the event the parties can not agree
prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days of the operational/production readiness date
for delivery of all system interfaces described within this Attachment, disputes over the
sufficiency of documentation will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Alternative
Dispute Resolution process contained in the Interconnection Agreement.
By mutual agreement, specific paragraphs or entire sections of the Interconnection
Agreement may be identified and documented to serve the purpose described for the
Joint Implementation Agreement for specific interfaces. Any issues identified and
subsequently resolved through either the end-to-end integrity or load testing processes
will be incorporated into the impacted interface section of the JIA within days of issue
resolution.

for Approval of the First Amendment to Wireline Interconnection Agreement for the State of
Idaho between Qwest and AT&T, dated September 17, 1998 (the "Amendment ). A copy of
the Amendment is submitted herewith.
The Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to

Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Conmllssion may reject an amendment
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the amendment (or
portion thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment or portion is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.
AT&T and Qwest respectful1y suhmit th::lt thf'. Amp.nctment provides no basis for either
of these findings, and, therefore jointly request that the Commission approve the Amendment
expeditiously. The Amendment is consistent with me public interest as identified in the pro-
competitive policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and
the Federal Communications Commission.Expeditious approval of the Amendment wil1
enable AT&T to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased
choices among local telecommunications services.
AT&T and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Amendment
without a hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations , it
does not raise issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the
negotiations- Expeditious approval would further the public interest.

ATTACHMENT
LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY
MANAGED CUTS
A Managed Cut permits AT&T to select a coordinated cut for local Number
Portability rLNP~). The request is offered on a 24 x 7 basis.
The date and time for the coordinated cut reQuires up-front planning and
may need to be negotiated between Owest and AT&T. All requests will
be procesSed on a first come, first served basis and are subject to
Owest's ability to meet a reasonable demand. Considerations such as
system downtime, switch upgrades, switch maintenance, and the
possibility of other Co-.Providers requesting the same Frame Due Time
(FOT) in the same switch (switch contention) are reviewed. In the event
that any of these situations would occur, Qwest will negotiate with AT&T
for an agreed upon FOT prior to issuing the Firm Order Confirmation
(FCC). Because of this up.front coordination and FOT negotiation efforts,
the FOC interval will begin upon completion of negotiations between
Qwest and AT&T for the FOT. In special cases where a FOT must be
negotiated, this interval to negotiate the FOT will not exceed two (2) days
due to a Owest error. In addition, standard intervals will apply.
1.2 AT&T shall request a Managed Cut by submitting a local Service
Request (LSR) and designating a Managed Cut in the Remarks section of
the LSR form.
AT&T will incur additional charges for the managed cut dependent upon
the FDT. The rates are based on whether the request is within normal
business hours or out of hours. Normal business hours are 7~OO a.m. to
7;00 p.. end user local time, Monday through Friday and the rate is a
standard rate. Out of hours, except for Sundays and Holidays are at the
overtime rate. Sundays and Holidays are at a premium rate.
1.4 Charges for Managed cuts Shall be based upon actual hours worked in
hour increments. Such charges are set forth in Section 1.7 below. AT&T
understandS and agrees that in the event AT&T does not make payment
for Managed Cuts, unless disputed as permitted under the Agreement
Qwest shall not accept any new LSR requests for Managed Cuts.
Qwest will schedule the appropriate number of employees prior to the cut
normally not to exceed three employees. based upon information
provided by AT&T. AT&T will also have appropriate personnel scheduled
for the negotiated FOT. If such information requires modification during
the cut and, as a result, non.-scheduled employees are required, AT&T
shall be charged a thrB8 hour minimum charge per each additional non-
scheduled employee as set forth in Section 1.7 below. If the cut is either
cancelled, or supplemented (supp) to change the due date, within 24
hours of the negotiated FOT, AT&T will be charged a one person 3 hour
minimum charge as set forth in Section 1.7 below. If the cut is cancelled
or a new due date is requested by Qwest due to a Qwe~t error, within 24
hours of the negotiated FDT, Owest will be charged by AT&T a one

AT&T charge will be replaced by any service performance plan related to
LNP Managed Cuts, if any, adopted by the Regional Oversight
Committee and approved by the Commission.
Owest will negotiate with AT&T for LNP Managed Cuts or a similar
service offered by AT&T.
Owest will provide Managed Cuts at the following interim rates:

overtime
Managed Cut Recurring NA $ 43.49 per Xt hour per person

I n the event that the managed LN P conversion is not successful, AT&T
and Owest agree to isolate and fix the problem in a timeframe acceptable
to AT&T or the customer. If the problem cannot be corrected within a
timeframe acceptable to AT&T or the customer, AT&T may request the
restoral of Owest service for the customer. Such restoration shall begin
immediately upon request. If AT&T is in error then a supp will be
provided to Qwest. If Owest is in error no supp or additional order will be
required of AT&T.
Specific details regarding the ordering of LNP service is contained in the
LNP Section of the Interconnect & Resale Resource Guide or this

BACKGROUND
Under the provisions of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, interconnection
agreements must be submitted to the Go~on for approval. 47 U.C. ~ 252(e)(1). The
Commission may reject an aareement adopted by negotiations only if it finds that the agreement:
(1) discriminates against telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement", or (2)
implementation of the agreement is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and
necessity. 47 V.C. 9252(eX2)(A). As the Conunission recently noted in Order No. 28427
companies voluntarily entering into interconnection agreements "may negotiate tenDS, prices and
conditions that do D.2! comply with either the FCC rules or with the provisions with Section
251(b) OJ (c).Order No. 28427 at 11 (emphasis original). This comports with the FCC'
statement that ~La state conunfssion shall have authority to approve an interconnection agreemeut
adopted by negotiation even if the tenDS of the agreement do not comply with the requirements
of (part 51)." 47 C.R. ~ 51.3.
THE CURRENT APPLICATIONS
The Commission bas been asked to approve three interconnection agreements and
five axnendments to existing interconnettion agreements. These agreements are discussed ingreater detail below. '
..
1. 9west Corporation and Escbelon Telecom. Inc. (Case No. QWE-OO-13). In
this case Eschelon opted into an interconnection agreement between Qwest (then US West) and
AT&T. This underlying agree.mentwas approved by the Commission on September 17, 1998, in
Case Nos. USW-T-96-15 & ATIaT-96-1. Eschelon s agreement with Qwest was subsequently
approved by the Commission on November 20,2000, Order No. 28570. Now the parties seek to
amend thi$ agreement through two separate filings. The first requeSt for amendment was filed on
November 9, 2000. In this requested amendment the partie$ jointly requeSt that the
Interconnection Agreeroent originaUy filed and approved by the Commission on November 20
2000, Order No. 28570, be amended by deleting, in their entirety. sections three 11n:ough seven of
the agreement which Eschelon opted into. The second Application requesting amendment was
filed on December 29, 2000 and contained additional provisions which the parties had agreed to.

interconnection agreements submitted by Qwest and previously approved by this Commission.
SeeCaseNo.QWE-T-OO-19. .
: 3. Owes! Corpo~tion and UbiauiTel. Inc. (Case No. QWE-OO-23)In this
. Application, the parties request. that .the Corhm.ission approve a Type 2 Wireless . Opt-
Interconnection Agreement for the state ofIdaho. UbiquiTeJ wishes to adopt the rates and tenns
of the interconnection agreement between Qwest and Sprint Spectrum, LP. previously approved
by the Commission. See USW-97-
4. Owest Corootation and USA Dildtal. Inc. (Case No. OWE- T -00-24 )-In this case
the parties request that the Conunission approve a wireline interconnection agreement The rates
and tenns are similar to those contained in other intetconnec:tion agreements submitted by Qwest
and previously approved by this Commission. See Case No. USW-99-2~. However, because
USA Digital does not currently have a valid Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
authorizing them to offer the services covered by the interconnection agreements, Staff also
recotnInends that any f1nal order make clea:( that approval of this agreement does not authorize
them to offer the services covered. by it
5. Qwest Corooration and Sprint Communications Comoany. LP. (Case Nos.
USW-97-16 and SPR-T.97-. In this case, the parties .have simultaneously filed the Third
and Fourth Amendments to the existing mterconnection agreement for the state of Idaho. The
Third Amendment adds tenus and conditio~ for Complex Firm Order Confirmation ("FOC"
The Fourth Amendment adds terms and conditions foJ: LIS Inter Local Calling Area ("LCA"
Facilities.
6. Owest Cornomion and AT&T Communications of the MoWltain S~tes~ Inc.
(Case Nos. USW-96-15 and ATI-96-2)'In this case, the parties request tba1 the
Commission. approve the First Amendment to the existing Wireline Int~rconnection Agreement
for the state of Idaho, The Amendment adds terms, condiuons and rates for Local Portability
Managed Cuts.
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
The Staff has reviewed these Applications and did not fin.d that any terms and
conditions to be discriminatory or contrary to
~ .
P\1bli~ int~rest
., .
Staff believes that the
Agreements axe. consistent with the pro-competitive policies- of this .Comrilission, the Idaho
Lt:gislature, and the federal TelecommunicatioD$ Act Accordingly, Staff believes that the
ORDER NO. 28622
gOO3
02/1216/2001 02:34 30329860'75 ~ 9303294734121 NO. 758 (;1004
Agreements merit the Commission s approval. It is important to note though tbtI.t USA Digital
does no1 currently have a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide local
telecoIDIDunications services in Idaho. For this reason Staff also recommends that any final
order make clear that approval of itS agreement with Qw.est does not authori:l;e them to offer the
services covered by it.
COMMISSION DECISION
Under the terms of the Teleconnnunications Act, interconnection agreementS must be
submitted to the Commission for approval. 47 U.C. ~ 252 (e)(l). The Commission s review is
limited, however. The Commission may reject an agreement adopted by negotiation only if it
finds that the agreement discriminates against a telecommunication carrier not a party to the
agreement or implementation 'of the agreement is .not conSistent with the public interest,
convenience and necessity. rd. Ba5ed upon our review of the Application, the Staff's
recommendation and on the fact no other person (:Ommented on the proposed agreement, the
Commission finds that the above interconnection agreements and amendment to a. previously
approved interconnection agreement are consistent with the public interest, convenience and
necessity and does not disciminate. Therefore, the Commission finds that these interconnection
agreements should be approved.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the interconnection agteements discussed above are
appJ.'oved. Terms of the agreements that are not already in effect shall be effective as of the date
of this Orde:!:.

CASE No.
Qwest Corporation ("Qwest ) and AT&T Communications of the MoWltain States. Inc.
(" AT&T") hereby jointly file this Application for Approval of Amendment Number 2 to the
Interconnection Agreement for the State of Idaho, dated September 17. 1998 (the
.. Agreewent")- A copy of the Amendment. dated July II, 2001, is submitted herewith.
Amendment Number 2 was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to
mediation or arbitration and is submitted for approval pursuant to Section 252(e) of the
CommWlications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the

Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an amendment
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission fmds that: the amendment (or
portion thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carner not a party to this
agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment or portion is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.
AT&T and Qwest respectfully submit that Amendment Number 2 provides no basis for
either of these findings, and, therefore jointly request that the Commission approve the
Amendment expeditiously. Amendment Number 2 is consistent with the public interest as
identified in the pro-competitive policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission. the United
States Congress, and the Federal Communications Co~sion. Expeditious approval of this
Amendment will enable AT&T to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers
with increased choices among local telecommunications services.
AT&T and Qwest further request that the Commission approve Amendment Number 2
without a hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through volunt:My negotiations, it
does not raise: issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the
negotiations. Expeditious approval would further the public interest.

) ORDER NO. 29163
In these cases the Commission is asked to approve new interconnection agreements
and amendments to previously approved interconnection agreements.
ORDER NO. 29163
BACKGROUND
Under the provisions of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, interconnection
agreements must be submitted to the Commission for approval. 47 US.C. 9252(e)(1). The
Commission may reject an agreement adopted by negotiations only if it frnds that the agreement:
(1) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement; or (2)
implementation of the agreement is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and
necessity. 47 V.C. 9252(e)(2)(A). As the Commission recently noted in Order No. 28427
companies voluntarily entering into interconnection agreements "may negotiate terms, prices and
conditions that do not comply with either the FCC rules or with the provisions of Section 251(b)
or (c)." Order No. 28427 at 11 (emphasis original). This comports with the FCC's statement
that "a state commission shall have authority to approve an interconnection agreement adopted
by negotiation even if the terms of the agreement do not comply with the requirements of (Part
51)." 47C.R. ~ 51.3.
THE CURRENT APPLICATIONS
The Commission has been asked to approve new interconnection agreements and
amendments to existing interconnection agreements. These matters are discussed in greater
detail below.
1. Owest and AT&T Communications of the Mountain States. Inc. (Case Nos.
VSW - T -96-15 and A TT - T -96-. This is an amendment to an existing wireline interconnection
agreement that adds terms for unbundled netvyork element combinations.
2. Qwest and Sprint Spectrum LP (Case No. QWE-O2-21).This Application

3. Verizon Northwest and Pacific Bell Wireless Northwest. LLC dba Cingular

It includes teITI1S and conditions similar to previously
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff reviewed these Applications and did not find any teITI1S and conditions that it
considers to be discriminatory or contrary,to .the public interest.. Theterm1; apdconditionsof
each agreement and amendment are similar to those contained in previously approved
amendments or agreements. Staff believes that the agreements and amendments are consistent
with the pro-competitive policies of this Commission, the Idaho Legislature, and the federal
Telecommunications Act. Accordingly, Staff believes that the agreements and amendments to
previously approved interconnection agreements merit the Commission s approval.
COMMISSION DECISION
Under the terms of the Telecommunications Act, interconnection agreements must be
submitted to the Commission for approval. 47 D.C. 9 252 (e)(1). The Commission s review is
limited, however. The Commission may reject an agreement adopted by negotiation only if it
finds that the agreement discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the
agreement or implementation of the agreement is not consistent with the public interest
convenience and necessity. Id. Based upon our review of the Applications , the Staffs
recommendation and on the fact no other person commented on these Applications, the
Commission finds that the new interconnection agreements and amendments to previously
approved interconnection agreements are consistent with the public interest, convenience and
necessity and do not discriminate. Therefore, the Commission finds that these Applications
should be approved. Finally, approval of these new interconnection agreements and amendments
does not negate the responsibility of any of the parties to these agreements to obtain a Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity if they are offering local exchange services or complying
with Idaho Code 99 62~6.o4 and 62-606 if they are providing other non-basic local
telecommunications services as defined by Idaho Code 9 62-603.
ORDER NO. 29163

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the new interconnection agreements and
amendments to intercoruiection agreements discussed above are approved.Tenns of the

Interconnection Agreement for the State of Idaho (the "Amendment"copy of the
Amendment is submitted herewith.
The 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 Commission may reject an amendment

portion thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement;
or the implementation of such an amendment or portion is not consistent with the public interest
convenience and necessity.
AT&T and Qwest respectfully submit that the Amendment provides no basis for either of
these findings, and, therefore jointly request that the Commission approve the Amendment
expeditiously. The Amendment is consistent with the public interest as identified in the pro-
competitive policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the United States Congress, and the
Federal Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable
AT&T to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices
among local telecommunications services.
AT &T and Qwest further request that the Commission approve the Amendment without a
hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise
issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.

Local Switching and Unbundled Network Elements Combinations (UNE Combinations)
Amendment Number 3
to the Interconnection Agreement between
Qwest Corporation and
AT&T Communications of the Mountain States, Inc.
for the State of Idaho
This is an Amendment ("Amendment") for Local Switching and Unbundled Network
Elements Combinations (UNE Combinations) to the Interconnection Agreement between
Owest Corporation ("Owest"), a Colorado corporation, and AT&T Communications of the
Mountain States, Inc. ("CLEC"
).
CLEC and Owest shall be known jointly as the "Parties
RECITALS
WHEREAS, CLEC and Owest entered into an Interconnection Agreement ("Agreement"
for service in the state of Idaho which was approved by the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission ("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:
A. Amendment Terms
The Agreement is hereby amended by adding terms, conditions and rates for Local
Switching and Unbundled Network Elements Combinations (UNE Combinations) as set
forth in Attachments 1 , 2 and 3 and Exhibits A, B, C and D to this Amendment, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
1. Owest shall provide non-discriminatory access to Unbundled Network
Elements on rates, terms and conditions that are non-discriminatory, just and
reasonable. The quality of an Unbundled Network Element Owest provides, as
well as the access provided to that element, will be equal between all Carriers
requesting access to that element; second , where Technically Feasible , the
access and Unbundled Network Element provided by Owest will be provided
substantially the same time and manner" to that which Owest provides to itself or
to its Affiliates. In those situations where Owest does not provide access to
Network Elements to itself, Owest will provide access in a manner that provides
CLEC with a meaningful opportunity to compete. For the period of time Owest
provides access to CLEC to an Unbundled Network Element, CLEC shall have
exclusive use of the Network Element, except when the provisions herein indicatethat a Network Element will be shared (such as Shared Transport).
Notwithstanding specific language in other sections of the Agreement, all
provisions of the Agreement regarding unbundled network elements are subject.
to this requirement. In addition , Owest shall comply with all state wholesale

Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
an End User Customer if Owest would be legally obligated to build such
facilities to meet its Provider of Last Resort (POLR) obligation to provide
basic Local Exchange Service or its Eligible Telecommunications Carrier
(ETC) obligation to provide primary basic Local Exchange Service. CLEC
will be responsible for any construction charges for which an End User
Customer would be responsible. In other situations, Owest does not agree
that it is obligated to build UNEs, but it will consider requests to build
UNEs pursuant to Section 3 below.
Upon receipt of an LSR or ASR, Owest will follow the same process
that it would follow for an equivalent retail service to determine if
assignable facilities exist that fit the criteria necessary for the service
requested. If available facilities are not readily identified through the
normal assignment process , but facilities can be made ready by the
requested Due Date, CLEC will not receive an additional FOC, and the order
Due Date will not be changed.
If cable capacity is available, Owest will complete incremental
facility work (Le., conditioning, place a drop, add a Network Interface
Device, add a card to existing equipment at the Central Office or remote
locations, add Central Office tie pairs , add field cross jumpers) in order to
make UNEs available. Incremental facility work will not include the upgrade
of electronics for the purpose of augmenting network capacity.
1.4 During the normal assignment process, if no available facilities are
identified for the UNE requested , Owest will look for existing engineering
job orders that could fill the request in the future. If an engineering job
currently exists, Qwest will add CLEC's request to that engineering job and
send CLEC a jeopardy notice. Upon completion of the engineering job
Owest will send CLEC another FOC with a new Due Date. If facilities are not
available and no engineering job exists that could fill the request in the
future, Qwest will treat CLEC's request as follows:
1.4.For UNEs that meet the requirements set forth in Section 1.
above , CLEC will receive a jeopardy notice. Qwest will initiate an
engineering job order for delivery of primary service to the End User
Customer. When the engineering job is completed, CLEC will
receive another FOC identifying a new Due Date when the Loop will
be ready for installation. Upon receipt of the second FOC, CLEC can
request a different Due Date by submitting a SUP to change the Due
Date to a later date.
1.4.For UNEs that do not meet the requirements in Section 1.
above, Owest will send CLEC a rejection notice canceling the LSR or
ASR. Upon receipt of the rejection notice, CLEC may submit a
request to build UNEs pursuant to Section 3 below.2. Miscellaneous charges are contained in Exhibit A to this Amendment.
When elements are provisioned by Owest in combination:
Owest will perform testing necessary or reasonably requested by
CLEC to determine that such combination and each UNE included in such
combination is capable of meeting the technical parameters of the
combination.
Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
Owest will repair and maintain such combination and each UNE
included in such combination to ensure that such UNE continues to meet
the technical parameters of the combination.
Owest will cooperate with CLEC in any Technically Feasible
testing necessary or reasonably requested by CLEC to determine end-to-
end transmission and circuit functionality of such combination.3. Owest will conduct an individual financial assessment of any request that
requires construction of network capacity, facilities , or space for access to or use
of UNEs. When Owest constructs to fulfill CLEC's request for UNEs, Owest will
bid this construction on a case-by-case basis. Owest will charge for the
construction through nonrecurring charges and a term agreement for the
remaining recurring charge. When CLEC orders the same or substantially similar
service available to Owest End User Customers, nothing in this Section shall be
interpreted to authorize Owest to charge CLEC for special construction where
such charges are not provided for in a Tariff or where such charges would not be
applied to a Owest End User Customer. If Owest agrees to construct a Network
Element that satisfies the description of a UNE contained in this agreement, that
Network Element shall be deemed a UNE.
B. Effective Date
This Amendment shall be deemed effective upon approval by the Commission; however
the Parties agree to implement the provisions of this Amendment upon execution. Owest
acknowledges that, in advance of execution of this Amendment, CLEC completed and
provided to Owest New Product Questionnaires for the products and services addressed
by this Amendment. Within a reasonable amount time, CLEC may place orders for the
products and services addressed by this Amendment and Owest shall process such
orders as set forth in the Agreement, as modified by this Amendment.
C. Further Amendments
Except as modified herein, the provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and
atte~rovisions of this Amendment, including the provisions of this sentence, may not
be, amended, modified or supplemented , and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions of this Amendment may not be given without the written consent thereto by
both Parties' authorized representative. No waiver by any party of any default
misrepresentation , or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or
not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by
virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
D. Reservation of Riahts
Owest acknowledges that CLEC believes that the rates, terms and conditions set forth in
this Amendment should be altered. CLEC is currently pursuing changes to such rates
terms and conditions through negotiations with Owest. When such negotiations, and
any related arbitrations, are concluded, the Parties anticipate substituting the rates
terms and conditions contained herein with the rates, terms and conditions that result
form such negotiations and related arbitrations, if any. The Parties enter into this
Amendment without prejudice to or waiver of any of their respective rights to challenge
the terms and conditions of this Amendment under the Act , FCC or Commission rules.

Shared Interoffice Transport
Description
Shared Transport is defined as interoffice transmission facilities
shared by more than one carrier, including Owest, between End Office Switches
between End Office Switches and tandem switches (local and access tandems),
and between tandem switches.
Terms and Conditions
Shared Transport is only provided with Unbundled Local Switch
Ports and Unbundled Network Element-Platform (UNE-P), as described in the
UNE Combinations Section. The existing routing tables resident in the Switch
will direct both Owest and CLEC traffic over Owest's interoffice message trunk
network.
CLEC may custom route operator services or directory assistance
calls to unique operator services/directory services trunks.
Transport:
Owest has the following obligations with respect to Shared
a) Provide Shared Transport in a way that enables the traffic of
CLEC to be carried on the same transport facilities that Owest uses for
its own traffic.
b) Provide Shared Transport transmission facilities between End
Office Switches, between end office and tandem switches, and between
tandem switches in its network.
c) Permit GLEC that purchases unbundled Shared Transport and
unbundled switching . to use the same routing table that is resident in
Owest's Switch.
d) Permit GLEC to use shared (or dedicated) transport as an
unbundled element to carry originating access traffic from, and
terminating to, Customers to whom CLEC provides Local Exchange
Service.
Rate Elements
Shared Transport will be billed on a minute-of-use basis in

LOCAL SWITCHING
11.Local Switching
Qwest shall provide access to Unbundled Local Switching in a non-discriminatory manner
according to the following terms and conditions.
11.Description
11.Access to Unbundled Local Switching encompasses line-side and
trunk-side facilities, plus the features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch.
The features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch include the basic switching
function, as well as the same basic capabilities that are available to Qwest's End
User Customers. Unbundled Local Switching also includes access to all vertical
features that the Switch is capable of providing, as well as any technically-
feasible customized routing functions. Moreover, CLEC may purchase
Unbundled Local Switching in a manner that permits CLEC to offer and bill for
Exchange Access and termination of EAS/local traffic.
11.CLEC is not required to use Owest's Directory Assistance
Services or operator services with its Unbundled Local Switching
elements or UNE-Combinations. CLEC may arrange to provide
access to its own, or to a third party s, directory assistance or operator
services platform with its unbundled switching elements and UNE-
Combinations.
11.Owest offers access to GR-303 features and functionalities
as outlined in this Section. As a condition of this virtual access, CLEC
must deploy a Remote Digital Terminal (RT) "hosted" by a GR-303
capable Qwest Switch. Under this architecture, and dependent on the
existence and availability of GR-303 in any given office, a CLEC may
deploy any compatible G R-303 Remote Terminal under the following
conditions:
11.The Owest Central Office must have existing GR-
303 capability with spare capacity available for use by CLEC. In addition
while CLEG may deploy its choice of Remote Terminal, it must be
compatible with the existing Owest GR-303 interface.
11.1 .1 .The transport between the Owest Switch and the
CLEC RT may be purchased from Owest or provided by GLEC. If
transport is provided by Qwest, the Demarcation Point will be at a
physical cross connect point at the RT. If transport is provided by CLEC,
the Demarcation Point will be at a physical cross connect in the Qwest
Central Office.
Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
ATTACHMENT 2
11.Concentration levels will be in keeping with Qwest's
current standard of 4: 1 at the Switch. The specific concentration ratios to
be applied to the RTs will be determined on a case by case basis.
11.2.4 The TR-O57 interface at the AT will be disabled.
This interface enables the universal DLC applications and offers access
to the OSS, Provisioning, and performance monitoring systems from the
RT. By disabling the TR-O57 interface, Owest ensures that it retains the
physical and logical administration of the GR-303 interface and that
security and system integrity concerns are minimized.
11.All traffic must be delivered at 64 clear channel.
(Le. voice compression will not be allowed).
11.6 GR-303 was designed for the delivery of circuit
switched voice traffic as such, packetized traffic will not be accepted.
11.While Owest will retain administration of the DLC
CLEC will be responsible for all traffic management. Changes in
Provisioning will be made only at the request of CLEC. CLEC will be
allowed to view channel availability and monitor traffic and blocking levels
at the RT via a man-to-machine interface (MMI). The CLEC will not have
the ability to make any changes as all Provisioning will be done solely by
Qwest at CLEC's request.
11.The Parties will be responsible for the repair and
maintenance of facilities on their side of the Demarcation Point. It is
assumed that this will be done in an as yet undeveloped cooperative
manner.
11.This specific network architecture option for virtual
access to the GR-303 interface listed in this section is available via the
Special Request Process contained in Exhibit 0 of this Amendment (the
Special Request Process ). Any request that materially deviates from
the language in this section regarding access to the GR-303 interface
must be submitted via the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process as set out in
the Agreement.
11.Owest's trunk ports are utilized to access routing tables resident in
Qwest's Switch, as necessary to provide access to Shared Transport. Shared
Transport is described earlier in this Amendment.
11.Unbundled Local Switching also permits CLEC to purchase a
dedicated trunk Port on the local Switch. CLEC may direct originating traffic to
such a dedicated trunk via customized routing.
11.Vertical features are software attributes on End Office
Switches. Vertical features are available separately and are listed in
Exhibit C of this Amendment. The Special Request Process shall be
Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
ATTACHMENT 2
used when ordering the activation and/or loading of vertical features on
a Switch, that are not currently activated or loaded on the Switch. If
features that are loaded on Qwest's Switch(es) are migrated to AIN for
Qwest's own use , the Switch software for such features will be retained
on the Qwest Switch(es) for the use of CLEC and CLECs End User
Customers.

concentration capabilities. EEL transport and Loop facilities may utilize DSO
through OC-192 or other existing bandwidths. DSO, DS1 and DS3 bandwidths
are defined products. In addition, other existing bandwidths can be ordered
through the Special Request Process. Owest has two EEL options: "EEL-
Conversion" (EEL-C) and "EEL-Provision" (EEL-P).
23.Unless CLEC is specifically granted a waiver from the FCC
which provides otherwise, and the terms and conditions of the FCC
waiver apply to CLEC's request for a particular EEL, CLEC cannot
utilize combinations of Unbundled Network Elements that include
Unbundled Loop and unbundled interoffice dedicated transport to create
a UNE Combination unless CLEC establishes to Owest that it is using
the combination of Network Elements to provide a significant amount of
local exchange traffic to a particular End User Customer. The
significant amount of local use requirement does not apply to
combinations of Loop and multiplexing when the high side of the
multiplexer is connected via an ITP for CLEC's Collocation.
23.To establish that an EEL is carrying a "Significant Amount
of Local Exchange Traffic," one of the following three (3) local service
options must exist:
Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
ATTACHMENT 3
23.Option 1: CLEC must certify to Owest that it is the
exclusive provider of an End User Customer s Local Exchange
Service and that the Loop transport combination originates at a
customer s premises and that it terminates at CLEC's Collocation
arrangement in at least one Owest Central Office. This condition
or option, does not allow Loop-transport combinations to
connected to Owest's Tariffed services.
23.Option 2: CLEC must certify that it provides local
exchange and Exchange Access service to the End User
Customer s premises and handles at least one-third (1/3) of the
End User Customer s local traffic measured as a percent of total
End User Customer local dial tone lines; and for DS1 level circuits
and above, at least fifty percent (50%) of the activated channels
on the Loop portion of the Loop and transport combination have at
least five percent (5%) local voice traffic individually; and the
entire Loop facility has at least ten percent (10%) local voice
traffic; and the Loop/transport combination originates at
Customer premises and terminates at CLEC'Collocation
arrangement in at least one Owest Central Office; and if
Loop/transport combination includes multiplexing, each of the
multiplexed facilities must meet the above criteria outlined in this
paragraph. (For example, if DS1 Loops are multiplexed onto DS3
transport, each of the individual DS1 facilities must meet the
criteria outlined in this paragraph in order for the DS1/DS3
Loop/transport combination to qualify for UNE treatment). This
condition , or option , does not allow Loop-transport combinations
to be connected to Owest's Tariffed services.
23.Option 3: CLEC must certify that at least
fifty percent (50%) of the activated channels on a circuit are used
to provide originating and terminating local dial tone service and at
least fifty percent (50%) of the traffic on each of these local dial
tone channels is local voice traffic; and the entire Loop facility has
at least thirty-three percent (33%) local voice traffic; and if a
Loopltransport combination includes multiplexing, each of the
multiplexed facilities must meet the above criteria. For example , if
DS1 Loops are multiplexed onto DS3 transport, each of the
individual DS1 facilities must meet the criteria as outlined in this
paragraph in order for the DS1/DS3 Loop/transport combination to
qualify for UNE treatment. This condition, or option, does not
allow Loop-transport combinations to be connected to Owest's
Tariffed services. Under this option, Collocation is not required.
Under this option, CLEC does not need to provide a defined
portion of the End User Customer s local service, but the active
channels on any Loop-transport combinations, and the entire
facility, must carry the amount of local exchange traffic specified in
this option.

23.2.4 When CLEC certifies to Owest through a
certification letter, or other mutually agreed upon solution, that the
combination of elements is carrying a "Significant Amount of Local
Exchange" Traffic, then Owest will provision the EEL or convert
the Special Access circuit to an EEL-C. For each EEL or Special
Access circuit, CLEC shall indicate in the certification letter under
which local usage option, set forth in paragraph 9.23.
23.2 or 9.23., it seeks to qualify the circuit.
23.5 CLEC'local service certification shall
remain valid only so long as CLEC continues to satisfy one (1) of
the three (3) options set forth in Section 9.23.of this
Amendment. CLEC must provide a service order converting the
EEL to Private Line/Special Access Circuit to Owest within thirty
(30) days if CLEC's certification on a given circuit is no longer
valid.
23.In order to confirm reasonable compliance
with these requirements, Owest may perform audits of CLEC'
records according to the following guidelines:a) Owest may, upon thirty (30) days written notice to a CLEC
that has purchased Loop/transport combinations as UNEs
conduct an audit to ascertain whether those Loopltransport
combinations were eligible for UNE treatment at the time of
conversion and on an ongoing basis thereafter.
b) CLEC shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate with any
audit by Owest and shall provide Owest with relevant records
(e., network and circuit configuration data, local telephone
numbers) which demonstrate that CLEC's Unbundled Loop
transport combination is configured to provide Local Exchange
Service in accordance with its certification.c) An independent auditor hired and paid for by Owest shall
perform any audits, provided, however, that if an audit reveals that
CLEC's EEL circuit(s) do not meet or have not met the certification
requirements, then CLEC shall reimburse Owest for the cost of
the audit.
d) An audit shall be performed using industry audit standards
during normal business hours, unless there is a mutual agreement
otherwise.e) Owest shall not exercise its audit rights with respect to a
particular CLEC (excluding Affiliates), more than once in any
calendar year, unless an audit finds non-compliance. If an audit
does find non-compliance, Owest shall not exercise its audit rights
for sixty (60) days following that audit, and if any subsequent audit
Local Switching - UNE-P Amd 3 ATT-
Amendment to CDS-981 028-0217
ATTACHMENT 3
does not find non-compliance, then Owest shall not exercise its
audit rights for the remainder of the calendar year.f) At the same time that Owest provides notice of an audit to
CLEC under this paragraph, Owest shall send a copy of the notice
to the Federal Communications Commission.
g)
Audits conducted by Owest for the purpose of determining
compliance with certification criteria as set forth in this amendment
shall not effect or in any way limit any audit rights that Owest may
have under the Agreement.
h) Owest shall not use any other audit rights it has pursuant
to the Agreement to audit for compliance with the local exchange
traffic requirements of Section 9.23.2. Owest shall not require
an audit as a prior prerequisite to Provisioning EELs.i) CLEC shall maintain appropriate records to support its
certification. However CLEC has no obligation to keep any
records that it does not keep in the ordinary course of its business.
23.Owest will not provision EEL or convert Private
LinelSpecial Access to an EEL if Owest records indicate that the
Private Line/Special Access is or the EEL will be connected directly
to a Tariffed service or if, in options 1 and 2 above , the EEL would
not terminate at CLEC's Collocation arrangement in at least one
Owest Central Office.
23.If an audit demonstrates that an EEL does not meet
the local use requirements of Section 9.23.2 on average for
two (2) consecutive months for which data is available, then the
EEL shall be converted to special access or private line rates
within thirty (30) days.
23.If CLEC learns for any reason that an EEL does not
meet the local use requirements of Section 9.23.2, then the
EEL shall be converted to special access or private line rates
within thirty (30) days. CLEC has no ongoing duty to monitor
EELs to verify that they continue to satisfy the local use
requirements of Section 9.23., except that if any service
order activity occurs relating to an EEL, then CLEC must verify
that the EEL continues to satisfy the local use requirements of
Section 9.23.2. Any disputes regarding whether an EEL
meets the local use requirements shall be handled pursuant to the
dispute resolution provisions of the Agreement. While a dispute is
pending resolution, the status quo will be maintained and the EEL
will not be converted to special access or private line rates

BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF AT&T COMMUNICATIONS OF THE MOUNTAIN STATES, INC. PETITION

OF 1996 OF THE RATES , TERMS , AND CONDITIONS OF INTERCONNECTION WITH US

CASE NO.USW-96-
ATT-96-
ORDER NO. 27738
On August 17, 1998, U S WEST Communications and AT&T Communications of the Mountain States
Inc. submitted an interconnection agreement for approval by the Commission. The agreement was
executed following a lengthy arbitration proceeding before the Commission, and was submitted for
approval pursuant to Section 252(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. See 47 US.C. 9252(e)(1).
On August 27, 1998 , the Commission issued a Notice of Interconnection Agreement and Notice of
Modified Procedure to process approval of the agreement. The Notice of Modified Procedure provided
for a fourteen-day comment period, which expired on September 10, 1998. No comments were filed
during the comment period.
Section 252(e) provides that a state commission may reject an arbitrated agreement only if it does not
meet the requirements of Section 251 (terms for resale, access to unbundled elements, collocation, etc.) or
the pricing standards set forth in Section 252( d). We frnd that the agreement meets the requirements of
Section 251 and the standards in Section 252( d), and therefore should be approved.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the interconnection agreement filed August 17, 1998, between US
WEST and AT&T is approved.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER approving an interconnection agreement arrived at through an arbitration
proceeding. Any party aggrieved by the Commission s approval of the agreement may bring an action in
an appropriate federal district court to determine whether the agreement meets the requirements of 47
US.C. ~ 251 and ~ 252. In the event an action is filed in federal district court, either party may request a
stay of the effect of this Order pursuant to Commission Rule of Procedure 324.
DONE by Order ofthe Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this
September 1998.
