The Letter Agreement with TC Systems, Inc. ("TC Systems") is submitted herewith. This Agreement 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 "AcC). Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commssion may reject an agreement reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the agreement (or portiones) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carer not a pary to this agreement; or the implementation of such an agreement (or portion) is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. CenturyLink respectfully submits that this Agreement provides no basis for either of these findings, and, therefore requests that the Commission approve this Agreement expeditiously. This Agreement 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 APPLICATION FOR APPRO V AL OF AGREEMENT TO ADOPT INTERCONNCTION AGREEMENT- TC SYSTEMS, INC.Page 1 . . . Federal Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Agreement wil enable TC Systems to interconnect with CenturyLink facilties and to provide customers with increased choices among local telecommunications services. CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Agreement without a hearng. Because this Agreement was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise issues requiring a hearng and does not concern other parties who were not pary to the negotiations. Expeditious approval would further the public interest. Respectfully submitted this l'J~ day of January, 2012.
