APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC ("CenturyLink") hereby files this Application for Approval of Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement. The Interconnection Agreement was approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission on July 3, 2008 under Order No. 30589 (the "Agreement"). The Reciprocal Compensation Bill and Keep Amendment to the Interconnection Agreement ("Amendment") between Centurylink and XO Communication Services, LLC ("XO Communication") 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 portion(s) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this APPLICATIoN FoR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT XO CoMMUNrcArroN SERVTCES, LLC - Page I CenturyLink 1600 7'h Ave., Suire I 506 Seattle, WA 98191 Telephone: (206) 398-2500 agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion) is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. CenturyLink 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 will enable XO Communication to interconnect with Centurylink facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among local telecommunications services. Centurylink 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. Respectfully submitted this L4fr aay of July, 2[lg. CENTURYLINK Lisa A.
