APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
AGREEMENT TO ADOPT
INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT
BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
Qwest Corporation dlblaCenlrcylink QC ("CenturyLink") hereby files this Application
for Approval of the Interconnection, Resale and/or Unbundling Agrcement ("Agreement). The
Agreernent with Onvoy, Inc. ("Onvoy'') 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 "Act").
Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an agreement
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the agreement (or
portion(s) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party 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 Agreernent 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 Agreement will enable
Onvoy to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide customers with increased
choices among local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Agreement without a
hearing. Because this Agreonent 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.
Respectfully submitted this 16 day of December, 2013.

to seek review in any way of any provisions included in these Terms as a result of

and/or equitable relief .
