Docket No. 30107 DC Docket No. QW-03- Respondents STIPULATION FOR THE AUGMENT A TION OF THE RECORD TO INCLUDE EXHIBIT 513 vs. QWEST CORPORATION Appellant. Pursuant to Idaho Appellate Rule 30 Appellant Qwest Corporation (Qwest) and Respondents, by and through their undersigned attorneys, stipulate that the Agency Record may be augmented to include documents attached to this Stipulation as Exhibit 513. Certain charges imposed by Appellant pursuant to the terms of its Access Services Catalog on file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission are the focus of this appeal. Exhibit STIPULATION FOR THE AUGMENTATION OF THE RECORD TO INCLUDE EXHIBIT 513..! Page 1 Boise-I 68927. 1 0029164-00033 513 comprises certain of the Catalog pages from the relevant time period relating to those charges. Because these Catalog pages were on file with the Commission at the time of the administrative hearing, the parties submit that the Commission did not find it necessary that they be entered into the record. The parties to this Stipulation believe it would be more convenient for the Court to have the disputed Catalog provisions before the Court in the form of an exhibit. No party will be prejudiced by the augmentation of the record contemplated by this Stipulation. WHEREFORE, Appellant Qwest Corporation and Respondents request that the Court approve this Stipulation and augment the record with the addition of Exhibit 513.

COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALING NETWORK (CCSN) GENERAL DESCRIPTION Common Channel Signaling Access Capability (CCSAC) allows a customer to connect with the Company s SS7 network. CCSAC is used in conjunction withother SS7 based features and services. CCSAC provides the means fortransmitting SS7 out of band signaling information via Switched Access CCS Links between the customer s Signaling Point of Interface (SPO1) and theCompanys Signal Transfer Point (STP). The SIP provides translations androuting functions for SS7 signaling messages received from the Company network signaling points and the SS7 networks of other entities. There are two types of signaling messages. ISDN User Part (ISUP) messages are used for callset-up (establishing and closing transmission paths for voice and data calls over the public switched network). Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages are used to carry infonnation between signaling points for call related database services. CCSAC acts as a platform for the following applications. The customer s SPOI and the Company s STP wire center must be located within the same LA T A. A. Call Set- This application provides the customer the capability to send originating and terminating call set-up signaling information, via ISUP messages, between thecustomers designated premises, the Company s STP and other entities inassociation with message telecommunications service. Call Set-Up may beassociated with calls that utilize the Company s switched access network or maybe associated with calls that do not utilize the Company s switched accessnetwork. If the message trunks are provided by the Company, the customer must order the associated FGD trunks with SS7 Out of Band Signaling option as setforth in Section 6, preceding. Call Set-Up associated with calls that do not utilize the Company s switched access network is referred to as transient call set-up and the customer must have message trunks with SS7 capabilities. CCSAC Service as set forth in this section is required to provide both capabilities. B. Foreign Database Queries This service provides the customer the ability to query foreign databases(databases not maintained by the Company) by sending signaling information via TCAP messages between the Company s SIP, the customer s designated premisesand the foreign database. CCSAC Service as set forth in this section is required to provide this capability. (M) Material moved to Page 2. NOTICETHE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. TRANSMITTAL NO.

COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALING NETWORK (CCSN) SERVICE DESCRIPTION 15.COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALING ACCESS CAPABILITY (CCSAC) A. CCS Link CCSAC is provided by a CCS Link. The CCS Link provides digital bidirectional transmission and operates at a DSO-A level (i.e., 56 kbps of CCS7 signaling data and 8 kbps of control/supervisory data). Each DSO-A channel (link) occupies asingle DSO (i., 64 kbps) channel of a 24 channel DS 1 digital transmission system. The DSO-A channel (link) is multiplexed into a OS 1 format for hand off at the customer s SPO!. One STP Port is required for each 56 kbps signaling linkutilized for CCSAC at the Company SIP. The STP Port is the POT to the signalswitching capability of the STP and is dedicated to the customer. The CCS Link is transported via an Entrance Facility and a Direct Link Transport (OL T) facility asdescribed in 1. and 2., following, and is utilized exclusively for connecting the customer s CCS network and the Company s CCSN for the transmission ofnetwork control signaling data only, 1. Entrance Facility The Entrance Facility provides the connection from the customer s SPOI to theserving wire center (SWC) of the customer s SPOI on a dedicated OS 1 facility ordered as set forth in this section and is utilized exclusively for the transmission of network control signaling data only. The customer may utilize an existing OS! Entrance Facility previously ordered from this section for additional CCS Links or order a new OSI Entrance Facility from this section. The customer may also choose to utilize a portion (Le:, OS 1) of an existing OS3 facility under the regulations of Shared Use. The OS3 facility can only be ordered from Section 6 preceding, or Section 7, of the Interstate Access Service Tariff, F.C. No.Multiplexing arrangements and the associated regulations are set forth in 6. preceding. When the customer chooses to use a portion of an existing OS3 facility, the customer must allocate, at a minimwn, one dedicated OS 1 for the provision of the signaling links.

Direct Link Transport (DL T) The DLT provides for the transmission facilities between the SWC of thecustomers SPOI and the Company's STP. The customer has the option ordering a DS 1 DL T facility from this section, utilized exclusively for thetransmission of network control signaling data only, or a single DSO-A channel (Le., 64 kbps) of a 24 channel DS 1 facility. The customer may utilize an existing DS 1 DL T facility previously ordered from this section for additional CCS Links or order a new DS 1 DL T or a DSO DL T facility. Company hubbing arrangements can be utilized for CCSAC, If the customer hasan existing DS3 facility between the SWC of the customer's premises and aCompany Hub, ordered and provisioned as set forth in Section 6, preceding, or Section 7, of the Interstate Access Service Tariff, F.c. No., the customer mayutilize a portion (i., OSI) of the existing DS3 facility for the CCS Link(s) under the provisions of the Shared Use regulations as set forth in 2., preceding. Inaddition, the customer must order the OS 1 or DSO DL T from the Company Hubto the Company STP. When the customer orders a DS 1 DL T facility from the SWC of the customer SPOI or a Company Hub to a Company STP, it is dedicated to, and controlled by, the customer. The customer must order a DS 1 to DSO Multiplexer at theCompany STP for termination into the STP Port. Multiplexing rates are set forth in 15., following. When the customer orders a DSO DL T channel, the Company will provide themultiplexing equipment at a location determined by the Company as part of its overall network design at no additiona1 charge. When the customer chooses toorder multiplexing equipment at a specific location, the customer is assessedmultiplexing rates as set forth in 15.8, following.

If the customer has an existing OS3 facility (ordered and provisioned from Section 6, preceding, or Section 7, of the Interstate Access Service Tariff, F.C. No.) to a Company Hub, the customer may use a portion of the OS3 facility (Le" OSI) for the CCS Link(s) from the SWC of the customer's SPOI to the Company Hub and then order the OS 1 or OSO OLT from the Company Hub to the Company s STP. If the customer requestsa OSI OLT, multiplexing equipment must be ordered at the Company s STP.CCSAC orders are subject to the provisions (e., access order intervals modification charges, cancellation charges and minimum periods) specified in Section 5, preceding. When a customer orders CCSAC in association with other services (e., FGDwith SS7 Out of Band Signaling for call set-up), separate orders shall be issued. 15.CCSAC SERVICE PROVISIONING CCSAC transmission specifications, diversity requirements, testing parameters and design requirements for STP Links (Le., CCS Signaling Links) are setforth in Technical References GR-905-CORE, GR-954-CORE and 77342. CCSAC network interface specifications between the Company STP location and the customer s STP location supporting Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) signaling are described in Technical Reference GR-905- CORE. CCSAC is provided from either the customer s Signaling Point (SP)which requires a minimum of two STP Links and two STP Ports or from the customers STP which requires a minimum of four STP Links and four STP Ports. A group of signaling links that connect the same two signaling points is described as a link set. There are a ma.ximum of 16 signaling links locatedwithin one link set. The quantity of CCS Links required is based upondiversity requirements. Diversity is provided as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the customer based upon the availability of facilities from the customer s SPOI location to the Company s STP. If applicable, SpecialConstruction regulations and charges apply. CCSAC interconnection is avai1able only in suitably equipped Company STP locations. (M) Material moved from Page 5.

COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALING NETWORK (CCSN) ORDERING, SERVICE PROVISIONING AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS(Coot' CCSAC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS The Company supports the perfonnance standards for CCSN as defined inTechnical References GR.905-CORE and 77342. The overall end-to-end CCSN network objective from any SP to any other SP is less than ten minutes unavailable access per year based on design and diversity requirements and the performance objective for any single SP, including a Service Control Point(SCP), is less than three minutes unavailable access per year. The combined link set from the SCP to the Signal Transfer Point (STP) has a perfonnance objective ofless than two minutes unavailable access per year. The Company will administer its CCSN network to ensure acceptable serviceprovision levels. The Company maintains the right to apply protectivecontrols to its CCSN as a result of occurrences such as failure or overload of CCSN facilities, natural disasters, mass calling or national security demands.In the event that the protective controls applied by the Company result in the complete loss of CCSAC Service by the customer, the customer will beentitled to a credit allowance for Switched Access Service interruptions as set forth in 2.4., preceding. TESTING REQUIREMENTS CCSAC ACCEPT At'iCE TESTING REQUIREMENTS At no additional charge, the Company will cooperatively test with the customer, at the time of installation, network compatibility and otheroperational tests for CCSAC as described in Technical Reference 77342 and GR-905-CORE. When C1ear Channel Capability on FGD Service is ordered as described in 3.1 , preceding, the Company will cooperatively test with the customer, at thetime of installation, CCSAC network compatibility and other operational tests for ISDN interworking as described in Technical Reference GR-905-CORE, atno additional charge. Successful completion and acceptance of all testing requirements must occur in order to receive CCSAC Service. (M) Material moved from Page 6. (Ml) Material moved from Page 7.

CCSAC SERVICE ApPLICATIONS CALL SET- This application provides the customer the capability to send originating and tenninating call set-up signaling information, via ISUP messages, between thecustomers designated premises, the Company s STP and other entities inassociation with message telecommunications service. Call Set-Up may be associated with calls that utilize the Company s switchedaccess network or may be associated with calls that do not utilize theCompanys switched access network. If the message trunks are provided bythe Company, the customer must order the associated FGD trunks with SS7 Out of Band Signaling option as set forth in Section 6, preceding. Call Set- associated with calls that do not utilize the Company s Switched Accessnetwork is referred to as transient call set-up and the customer must havemessage trunks with SS7 capabilities.CCSAC Service as set forth in this section is required to provide both capabilities. FOREIGN DATABASE QUERIES This service provides the customer the ability to query foreign databases(databases not maintained by the Company) by sending signaling information via TCAP messages between the Company s STP, the customer s designatedpremises and foreign databases (those not owned by the Company). CCSAC Service as set forth in this section is required to provide this capability. (M) Material moved from Page 7.
