BEFORE THE IDAIIO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
CASE NO.:
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 October 20,2010 under Order
No. 32097 (the "Agreement"). The FCC Modernizing Unbundling and Resale Requirements
Amendment ("Amendment") between CenturyLink and dishNET Wireline L.L.C. ("dishNET
Wireline") is submitted herewith.
This Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to mediation
or arbitation 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
AppLtcnrrox roR Appnovel oF AMENDMENT To INTERCo).INECTIoN
AcRneupNr [orsHNETWm.u-rNr L.l.C.] -Page I
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 dishNET
Wireline 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 I't day of August,2022.
