FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS (Cont'd)
Special Number Assignment is a specific number requested by the customer. This service is
available where facilities are available and it is technically feasible to provide. This feature is
an additive to the CO Implemented Coin Line or to the Instrument Implemented Payphone
Service.
Selective Class of Call Screening will be provided where such facilities are available at the
customer s option. Selective Class of Call Screening treatment enables the customer to restrict
outgoing operator-handled calls, placed over the Telephone Company s network, from the
service point to only those calls which are charged to a called telephone, a third number or a
calling card.
DEFINITIONS
Billed Number Screening - allows the customer to identify to the Telephone company that they will not
accept any Third-number and/or Collect calls for billing to their telephone number. The Company placesinformation regarding this screening restriction into a database that is normally accessed by operator
service providers prior to such calls being completed. When customers have indicated that they do not wishto accept billing for any Third-number or Collect calls, the database will not validate charging for such a
call. The operator service provider can then decide whether to complete the call based on this infonnation
provided by the database. Billed Number Screening can be ordered to screen third-number billed calls
collect calls, or both.
Central Office (CO) Implemented Coin Line - access line that provides coin signaling.
Demarcation Point - the point of connection, provided and maintained by the telephone company, at which
the station wiring becomes dedicated to an individual customer s use. For an individual customer dwelling,
this point of connection will generally be the modular jack incorporated into the customer side of the
Net\.vork Interface Device (NID). The drop wire and the network protector will continue to be providedby, and remain the property of, the telephone company. The demarcation point is usually the point at
which the telephone company wiring connects with the customer s "viring.
Nehvork Interface Device (NID)- a device wired between the telecommunications protector and the inside
wiring to isolate the customer s equipment from the network.

GENERAL (Continued)
The total extension to plant (along public roads or on
private property) to be furnished without charge shall not
exceed 1000 feet per application. Where the total extension. exceeds 1000 feet, the free footage allowance is first
computed for the private property portion of the extension
prior to computing any allowance for the construction alongpublic roads. In addition to the Line Extension Allowance,
customers shall receive up to 300 feet of drop wire
construction without charge.
Contracts, covering periods not more than three years of
telephone service, may be required by the Company as a
condition precedent to establishment of the service when lineextensions are necessary. Such contracts will not require
advance or unusual payments in excess of those otherwise
required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the
Company s right to collect amounts as provided elsewhere in
its tariff schedule.
Line extension charges assessed to applicants will be based
on Rural Electrification (REA) Rules and Regulations whenapplicable. In case of disagreement or dispute regarding the
application of any provisions of this rule, or in
circumstances where the application of this rule appears
impracticable or unjust to either party, the utility,
applicant, or applicants may refer the matter to the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission for ruling.
The estimated cost of the line extensions are payable inadvance. In the event of overcharge, refunds to applicants
will reflect the difference between the estimated cost andthe actual cost of the line extension. In the event of
undercharge, the Company shall bill the applicant for an
amount not to exceed 10% of the estimated extension costs.
Any adjustments between the estimated costs advanced by the
applicant and the reasonable actual cost shall be made wi thin

For line extensions of unusually long length or high
cost, the Company may also estimate the cost of
providing radio telephone service. The Company or
applicant may request either line extension or radio
telephone service and the applicant will pay the
actual cost for the chosen option in excess of the
free allowance which would be provided under the
line extension option.
GROUP OF APPLICANTS
When construction is required to serve a new applicant, a
survey is made of all prospective subscribers who might be
served from the new construction or an extension thereof and
who might benefit by being included in the project. Free
footage allowances are made only for those prospective
subscribers making a written application for service.
All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is
no more than one-half mile of construction between successiveapplicants. Separate projects are established whenever the
construction between any two successive applicants exceeds
one-half mile. Two or more projects are combined, however,
whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in
charges) for all of the applicants involved.
An applicant at any premises receives only a single line
extension and drop wire allowance regardless of the number of
services ordered at that premises.
Applicants order ing service at more than one premises are
treated as separate applicants at each premises for purposes
of this schedule.

For the purpose of determining project charges, the
collective free footage allowance for the group is subtracted
from the overall Line Extension footage required for service.
The total project cost is then divided equally among allapplicants.
Exceptions:
(1) No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he
would if the project were established for him alone. Any
difference between this charge and the average charge for
the group is absorbed by the Company.
(2) Charges for extensions to plant on private property
(including drop wire) are assumed by applicants on whose
property such extensions are made and these charges are
not included in the overall charges for the project.
Likewise, the free footage allowance on private property
is not included in the collective allowance for theproject.
CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS
When a new applicant can be served from a completed project,
within three years from the date service was initially
established for such project, the charges for the entire
project are recomputed to include the new applicant. The new
applicant pays a prorated amount of the line extension charge
based on the number of months (a fraction of a month is
counted as a full month) remaining in the original three-yearterm. The time is computed from the date serV1ce 1S
established for the new applicant.

When a project is recomputed as described above, existing
subscribers will be refunded a prorated amount of the
difference between the original charges and the recomputed
charges, based on the remainder of the three-year term.
Recomputation of the charges due to the addition of new
applicants is made on the assumption that there have been nodisconnects.
Where construction on private property is subsequently
treated as being on public roads, or where a private road is
dedicated to the public use, within three years of completion
of the original project, the time extension charges shall be

DISCONNECTS AND REUSE OF FACILITIES

subscr ibers are not affected by disconnects.
When a subscriber disconnects service or moves off the

EMERGENCY REPORTING (911) SERVICE (Cont'd)
(D)
(N)
Conditions
Emergency reporting service features and network arrangements will be based upon the operating
limitations of the Utility's facilities and equipment.
Emergency reporting service is furnished to political subdivisions and municipal corporations of the
State ofIdaho. The political subdivision or municipal corporation placing an order for 911
emergency service is the customer of the Utility.
The Utility does not undertake to answer and forward 911 calls, but furnishes the use of its facilities
to enable the customer s personnel to respond to these calls on the customer s premises.
911 service is furnished to the customer only for the purpose of receiving reports of emergencies by
the public.
The Utility's intent will be to provide at least the same level of service reliability and quality as the
telephone service being provided in the exchanges where 911 service is offered.
The customer accepts responsibility for dispatching, or having others dispatch police, fire
ambulance or other emergency services as required, or will undertake to transfer all 911 calls
received to the agency with responsibility for dispatching these services, to the extent such services
are reasonable available.
Because the Utility service boundaries and political subdivision boundaries may not coincide, it is
the obligation of the customer to make arrangements to handle all911 calls that originate from
telephones served by central offices in the local service area whether or not the calling telephone is
situated on the property within the geographical boundaries of the customer s public safety
jurisdiction.
911 service is provided solely for the benefit of the customer operating the PSAP. The provision of
911 service by the Utility shall not be interpreted, construed, or regarded, either expressly or
implied, as being for the benefit of or creating any Utility obligation toward any third person or
legal entity other than the customer.(N)
