Sprint and Qwest respectfully submit that this Amendment,which adds terms and
conditions for unbundled network elements combinations,provides no basis for either of these
findings,and,therefore jointly request that the Commission approve this Amendment
expeditiously.This 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
Sprint to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices
among local telecommunications services.
Sprint and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Amendment without a
hearing.Because this Amendment was reached through voluntarynegotiations,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.
Respectfully submitted this day of August,2002.

Loops with or without LNP,where SPRINT orders Unbundled DS1 Capable,
Unbundled DS3 Capable or twenty-five (25)or more DSO Unbundled Loops.
9.2.2.9.7.1 The date and time for the Project Coordinated Installation
requires up-front planning and may need to be negotiated between Qwest
and SPRINT.All requests will be processed on a first come,first served
basis and are subject to Qwest's ability to meet a reasonable demand.
Considerations such as system down time,Switch upgrades,Switchmaintenance,and the possibility of SPRINT requesting the same Frame
Due Time (FDT)in the same Switch (Switch contention)must be
reviewed.In the event that any of these situations would occur,Qwest
will negotiate with SPRINT for an agreed upon FDT,prior to issuing the
Firm Order Confirmation (FOC).In special cases where SPRINT is
ordering Unbundled Loop with LNP,the FDT must be agreed upon,the
interval to reach agreement will not exceed two (2)days from receipt of
an accurate LSR.In addition,standard intervals will apply.
9.2.2.9.7.2 SPRINT shall request a Project Coordinated Installation by
submitting a Local Service Request (LSR)and designating this order as a
Project Coordinated Installation in the remarks section of the LSR form.
9.2.2.9.7.3 SPRINT will incur additional charges for the Project
Coordinated Installation dependent upon the coordinated time.The rates
are based upon whether the request is within Qwest's normal business
hours or Out Of Hours.Qwest normal business hours for Unbundled
Loops are 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.,Monday through Friday.The rates for
coordinated installations are set forth in Exhibit A.Where LNP is
included,see Section F(2)of the Agreement.
9.2.2.9.7.4 Qwest will schedule the appropriate number of employees
prior to the cut,normally not to exceed four employees,based upon
information provided by SPRINT.If the Project Coordinated Installation
includes LNP,SPRINT will also have appropriate personnel scheduled for
the negotiated FDT.If SPRINT's information is modified during the
installation,and,as a result,non-scheduled employees are required,
SPRINT shall be charged a three (3)hour minimum callout charge per
each additional non-scheduled employee.If the installation is either
cancelled,or supplemented (supp)to change the Due Date,withintwenty-four(24)hours of the negotiated FDT,SPRINT will be charged a
one person three (3)hour minimum charge.For Project Coordinated
Installations with LNP,if the Coordinated Installation is cancelled due to a
Qwest error or a new Due Date is requested by Qwest,within twenty-four
(24)hours of the negotiated FDT,Qwest may be charged by SPRINT one
person three (3)hour minimum charge as set forth in ExhibitA.
9.2.2.9.7.5 If SPRINT orders Project Coordinated Installation with LNP
and in the event the LNP conversion is not successful,SPRINT and
Qwest agree to isolate and fix the problem in a timeframe acceptable to
SPRINT or the Customer.If the problem cannot be corrected within an

a preponderance of the evidence that the incremental costs of mitigation would be
sufficient to cause a substantial effect upon other Customers (including but not limited to
SPRINT securing UNEs)if charged to them.Upon such a showing,the Commission
may determine how to apportion responsibility for those costs,including,but not limited
to SPRINT taking services under this Amendment.

Single Point of Presence (SPOP)in the LATA is a Local Interconnection Service (LIS)
Interconnection trunking option that allows CLEC to establish one physical point of presence in
the LATA in Qwest's territory.Qwest and CLEC may then exchange traffic at the SPOP
utilizing trunking as described following.
1.1 By utilizing SPOP in the LATA,CLEC can deliver both Exchange Access (IntraLATA
Toll Non-lXC)and Jointly Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)
traffic and Exchange Service EASILocal traffic at Qwest's Access Tandem Switches.
CLEC can also utilize Qwest's behind the tandem infrastructure to terminate traffic to
specific end offices.The SPOP is defined as the CLEC's physical point of presence.
1.2 SPOP in the LATA includes an Entrance Facility (EF),Expanded Interconnect Channel
Termination (EICT),or Mid Span Meet POI and Direct Trunked Transport (DTT)
options available at both a DS1 and DS3 capacity.
1.3 Where there is a Qwest local tandem serving an end office that CLEC intends to
terminate traffic,the following conditions apply:
1.3.1 CLEC may interconnect for the exchange of local/EAS traffic at either the
Qwest access tandem or the Qwest local tandem,at the CLEC's option.When CLEC
is interconnected at the access tandem and where there would be a DS1's worth of
local traffic (512 CCS)between CLEC's switch and a Qwest local tandem or a Qwest
end office subtending the Qwest access tandem,CLEC will order a direct trunk group
to that Qwest local tandem or end office.
1.3.1.1 Qwest will allow interconnection for the exchange of local traffic
at Qwest's access tandem without requiring interconnection at the local tandem,
at least in those circumstances when traffic volumes do not justify direct
connection to the local tandem.
1.3.1.2 When a CLEC has an NXX that subtends a local tandem,but the
anticipated traffic to and from the NXX is less than 1 DS1s (512 CCS)worth of
traffic,the CLEC may choose to use the access tandem for local traffic in the
circumstances described above in 1.3.1.The CLEC will be required to submit
an electronic letter on CLEC letterhead to Qwest stating at which local tandems
they will not interconnect.This letter should include,the local tandem CLL1(s)
and the CLEC specific NPA-NXXs for the local tandems.In addition,CLEC will
provide a revised electronic letter to Qwest of any changes in the network
configuration or addition/deletions of NPA-NXXs of the aforementioned local
tandems.
1.3.2 Connections to a Qwest local tandem may be two-way or one-way trunks.
These trunks will carry Exchange Service EASILocal traffic only.
1.3.3 A separate trunk group to the Qwest access tandem is necessary for the
exchange of non-local Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-lXC)traffic and jointly
Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic.
1.4 Where there is no Qwest local tandem serving a Qwest end office,CLEC may choose
Unbundled loop mux bfr srp spop Amd Sprint/ID 25
Amendment to CDS-010905-0050/dhd
Attachment 4
from one of the following options:
1.4.1 A two-way CLEC LIS trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for CLEC traffic
terminating to,originating from,or passing through the Qwest network that combines
Exchange Service EASI Local,Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-lXC)and Jointly
Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic.
1.4.2 A two-way CLEC LIS trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for CLEC Jointly
Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic terminating to and
originating from the IXC Feature Group (FG)A/B/D network through the Qwest network
and an additional two-way trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for the combined
Exchange Service EAS/Local and Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-lXC)traffic
terminating to,originating from,and transiting the Qwest network.
1.4.2.1 If the CLEC uses two way trunking,Qwest will send all Exchange
Service EASILocal,Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-IXC)and Jointly
Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic delivered to
the Qwest access tandem on the same combined trunk.
1.4.3 A one-way terminating CLEC LIS trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for
CLEC traffic destined to or through the Qwest network that combines Exchange
Service EASILocal,Exchange Access (Intra LATA Toll Non-IXC)and Jointly Provided
Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic.
1.4.4 CLEC may utilize a one-way LIS trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for
Jointly Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA IXC)traffic terminating to
the IXC FG A/B/D network through the Qwest network,and an additional one-way
trunk group to the Qwest access tandem for the combined Exchange Service EAS/
Local,Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-lXC)traffic terminating to,originating
from,and transiting the Qwest network.
1.4.4.1 If CLEC orders either of the above one-way trunk options,Qwest
will return the traffic via one combined Exchange Service EAS/Local,and
Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll Non-lXC)trunk group.
1.4.5 To the extent Qwest combines Exchange Service (EASILocal),Exchange
Access (IntraLATA Toll carried solely by Local Exchange Carriers),and Jointly
Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA calls exchanged with a third-
party IXC)traffic on a single LIS trunk group,Qwest,at CLEC's request,will declare a
percent local use factor (PLU).Such PLU(s)will be verifiable with either call
summary records utilizing Calling Party Number information for jurisdictionalization or
call detail samples.CLEC should apportion per minute of use (MOU)charges
appropriately.
1.5 CLEC must have SS7 functionality to use SPOP in the LATA.
1.6 Qwest assumes CLEC will be originating traffic destined for end users served by each
Qwest access tandem in the LATA,therefore,CLEC must order LIS trunking to each
Qwest access tandem in the LATA to accommodate routing of this traffic.Additionally,
when there is more than one Qwest access tandem within the LATA boundary,the
CLEC must order LIS trunking to each Qwest access tandem that serves its end-user

Attachment 4
customers'traffic to avoid call blocking.Alternatively,should the CLEC accept the
conditions as outlined in the SPOP Waiver (Exhibit A),trunking will not be required to
each Qwest access tandem in a multi-access tandem LATA.The CLEC needs
trunking to each local tandem where they have a customer base if not utilizing the
option of interconnecting at the access tandem for local as described in 1.3.1.The 512
CCS rule and other direct trunking requirements will apply for direct trunking to Qwest
end offices.
1.7 If Direct Trunked Transport is greater than 50 miles in length,and existing facilities are
not available in either Party's network,and the Parties cannot agree as to which Party
will provide the facility,the Parties will construct facilities to a mid-point of the span.
1.8 CLEC will provide notification to all Co-Providers in the local calling areas of CLEC's
change in routing when the CLEC chooses to route its traffic in accordance with
Qwest's SPOP interconnectiontrunking.
1.9 Ordering
1.9.1 SPOP in a LATA will be ordered based upon the standard ordering process for
the type of facility chosen.See the Qwest Interconnection and Resale Resource Guide
for further ordering information.
1.9.2 Sprint will issue ASR's denoting change activity for existing trunk groups
converting to SPOP trunk groups in the same LATA.
1.9.3 SPOP elements,such as EF;DTT;EICT ;and multiplexing will be billed in
accordance with the interconnection agreement (see Exhibit A).

Attachment 4
SINGLE POINT OF PRESENCE WAIVER
Qwest will waive the requirement for CLEC to connect to each Qwest Access Tandem in the
LATA with this waiver amendment.
CLEC certifies that it will not originate any traffic destined for subtending offices of Qwest's
Access Tandems for which CLEC seeks a waiver.Or,if CLEC does originate such traffic,that
CLEC will route such traffic to a Non-Qwest network.In addition,CLEC certifies that it has no
end users in the serving area of the Qwest Access Tandem for which CLEC seeks a waiver.
CLEC will send an electronic letter to Qwest indicating the Qwest access tandems subject to
this waiver at the time of ordering trunks required to implement SPOP in the LATA.In
addition,CLEC will provide a revised electronic letter to Qwest advising of any changes in the
network configuration of the aforementioned access tandems.Should CLEC desire to begin
serving end users in the serving area of a Qwest access tandem currently under this waiver,
CLEC must first establish trunking to the Qwest access tandem.Additionally,should CLEC
desire to originate traffic destined to a Qwest end office subtending a Qwest access tandem
currentlyunder this waiver,CLEC must first establish trunking to the Qwest access tandem.
Under this waiver any CLEC originated traffic destined for an end office subtending a Qwest
tandem under this waiver will be billed separately,by Qwest to CLEC,via a manual bill.
Misrouted usage under this waiver will be billed,a penalty of $.21 per MOU.
Additionally,a manual handling fee of $100 or 10%of total billing,whichever is greater,will be
charged for each such manual bill rendered.
Late Payment charges will apply as outlined in the existing Interconnection Agreement
currentlyin effect between the Parties.
Should this traffic occur,the Parties agree to meet within forty-five (45)days of Qwest's
identification of such misrouted traffic to discuss methods for avoiding future misrouting on that
trunk group or groups.CLEC will then have thirty (30)days from the date of meeting to correct
such misrouting on that trunk group or groups.If further misrouting occurs or continues after
that date on the same trunk group or groups as the original misrouting identified,the Parties
agree to meet again within thirty (30)days of Qwest's identification of such misrouted traffic to
discuss methods for avoiding future misrouting on that trunk group or groups.CLEC will then
have thirty (30)days from the date of meeting to correct such misrouting.If further misrouting
occurs or continues after that date on the same trunk group or groups,Qwest will consider this
waiver null and void and all requirements in Attachment 1 or in the existing Interconnection
Agreement currently in effect between the Parties will be reinstated.If the parties disagree
about whether the traffic identified by Qwest was actually misrouted,the Parties agree to avail
themselves of the dispute resolution provision of their interconnection agreement.Nothing in
this provision affects or alters in any way CLEC's obligation to pay the rates,the manual
handling fee,and the late payment charges specified above for misrouted traffic.
