The lnterconnection Agreement was approved by the ldaho Public Utilities Commission on April ll,z}lzunder Order No. 21517 (the "Agreement"). The FCC Modernizing Unbundling and Resale Requirements Amendment ("Amendment") between CenturyLink and Spectrotel, Inc. ("Spectrotel") is submitted herewith. This Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to mediation or arbiffation 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 carier not a party to this AppIIceTIoN ToR AppnOvIL OF AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AcRneueNr [SPECTRoTEL] -Page I agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion) is not consiste,nt 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 Spectrotel to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among local telecommunications services. CenturyLink furlher 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 concem other parties not a party to the negotiations. Expeditious approval would further the public interest. Respectfully submitted this 25s day of July,2022. CENTT]RYLINK William E.
