CASE NO.: USW - T -00-5
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation ("Qwest") hereby files this Application for Approval of Amendment
to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment"), which was approved by the Idaho Public
. Utilities Commission on April 26, 2000 (the "Agreement"). The Amendment with Integra
Telecom of Idaho, Inc. ("Integra") is submitted herewith.
This 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
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the amendment (or
portiones) 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.
Qwest respectfully submits this Amendment provides no basis for either of these
findings, and, therefore requests 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 wil enable Integra to.

interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among local
telecommunications services.
Qwest further requests 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.
