APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
INTERCOIINECTION AGREEMENT
Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC ("CenturyLink") hereby files this Application
for Approval of the Interconnection Agreement Terms and Conditions for Interconnection,
Unbundled Network Elements, Ancillary Services, and Resale of Telecommunications Services
between Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC and McLeodUSA Telecommunications
Services, LLC, Windstream NuVox, LLC for the State of Idaho ("Agreement"). The Agreement
with Windstream NuVox, LlC("Windstream") is submitted herewith.
This Agreernent 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 o'Act").
Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commission mayreject an agreement
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that: the agreernent (or
portion(s) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this

agreement; or the implernentation 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
Federal Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Agreement will enable
Windstream 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 Agreernent 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 2g,fi day of February,2016.
