Hendricks, III (WSBA#29786) Lumen 902 Wasco Street Hood River, OR 97031 541-387-9439 Tre.hendricks@lumen.com BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION APPLICATION OF QWEST CORPORATION DBA CENTURYLINK QC FOR APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT WITH METROPOLITAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS OF IDAHO INC. PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C. §252(e) 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 May 5, 2005 under Order No. 29776 (the “Agreement”). The Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) Forbearance Amendment (“Amendment”) between CenturyLink and Metropolitan Telecommunications of Idaho Inc. (“MetTel”) 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 CASE NO. QWE-T-22-11 APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT [METROPOLITAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS OF IDAHO INC.] – Page 2 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 MetTel 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 30th day of August, 2022. CENTURYLINK William E.

UNE Analog Loops Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Orders, the terms and conditions under which CLEC may order and maintain Analog Unbundled Loops, as defined in Section 9.2.2 provided in the Agreement and Two-Wire/Four-Wire Unbundled Distribution Loop, as provided in Section 9.3.2.1.1 of the Agreement (together, referred to as Analog Unbundled Loops ) are altered as follows: a. Effective Date to February 2, 2020 - During the time period from the Effective Date of this Amendment until February 2, 2020, CLEC may order Analog Unbundled Loops pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement. In addition, CLEC may make changes in existing Analog Unbundled Loop arrangements, also pursuant to the applicable terms of the Agreement. b. February 2, 2020 to August 2, 2022 - After February 2, 2020, CLEC cannot order any Analog Unbundled Loops from CenturyLink pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Agreement. i. For any Unbundled Analog Loops procured under the terms of the Agreement (Existing Analog Loops ) on February 2, 2020 or prior, CenturyLink will continue to provide such Existing Analog Loops pursuant to the terms of the agreement, including the applicable rates delineated in Exhibit A of the Agreement. ii. CLEC cannot make any changes to such Existing Analog Loops, as they will be treated in a grandfathered status, with continued receipt or disconnection of the Existing Analog Loops the only options under the Agreement available to CLEC. If CLEC issues an order to change such services, it will be treated as a conversion to Special Access services being provided solely under the Tariffs, rather than under the Agreement. iii. CLEC agrees that it will no longer submit any orders for Unbundled Analog Loops under the Agreement from CenturyLink after February 2, 2020. CLEC agrees that it is the responsibility of the CLEC to ensure that no further orders for such Analog Unbundled Loops under the Agreement are submitted after February 2, 2020. 1. In order to ensure compliance with these provisions, the Parties agree that CenturyLink, on a no more than quarterly basis, may conduct an audit of CLEC s order activity after February 2, 2020, in order to identify any mistaken instances of attempting to order Analog Unbundled Loops under the terms of the Agreement. 2. Should such instances occur, the Parties further agree that CenturyLink will request CLEC to disconnect such services and order them as new by ordering the Special Access service under the applicable Tariff, changing the applicable rate charged, and CenturyLink may issue a bill using the effective date of the changes that the applicable Unbundled Analog Loop was originally ordered (Analog Loop True-Up Bill ). CLEC agrees not ATTACHMENT 1 August 1, 2022/nap/UNE Forbearance Amd/Negotiated/Metropolitan/ID 4 Q Amendment to CDS-041213-0017 (v.01.22.2020-4) to contest such Analog Loop True-Up Bills unless such billing is not consistent with the applicable Tariff. iv. CLEC agrees that any provisions in the Agreement that provide for Line Splitting or Loop Splitting are also removed and may no longer be ordered, as they all involve an order of an Unbundled Analog Loop. Any existing arrangements will be maintained during the time period of this section. c. After August 2, 2022 - The Parties agree that CenturyLink will no longer provide any Unbundled Analog Loops under the terms of the Agreement after August 2, 2022, including any arrangements for Line Splitting or Loop Splitting. CLEC is solely responsible for either disconnecting such Analog Unbundled Loops prior to August 2, 2022 or converting them to a service under the applicable Tariffs. For any Analog Unbundled Loops in place as of August 2, 2022, CLEC agrees that CenturyLink will convert any such Analog Unbundled Loops to the appropriate Special Access service under the applicable Tariff, and CLEC is then responsible for such services under that Tariff. In addition, should any charges be necessary as part of that conversion, CLEC agrees that it is responsible for payment of such charges and will not dispute application of such charges necessary for the conversion. As Line Splitting and Loop Splitting are not available service under CenturyLink s Tariffs, CLEC must convert to alternative arrangements that meet its needs, as such arrangements will otherwise be terminated after August 2, 2022. d. Alternative Analog Unbundled Loops Commercial Arrangements The Parties understand and agree that the Forbearance Orders specifically permit alternative commercial arrangements for the provision of UNEs that are impacted by the Forbearance Orders. Nothing in this Amendment either requires CenturyLink to enter into such alternative arrangements or prohibits the Parties from reaching an agreement on terms and conditions of such alternative arrangements. The Parties agree that nothing in such alternative arrangement would ever be intended to change any of the obligations under this Agreement, rather to be in parallel to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. e. UNE Combinations Any UNE Combinations provided under the Agreement that might include UNE Analog Loop are also treated as UNE Analog Loops under this Agreement. 2. UNE Transport - Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Orders, the terms and conditions under which CLEC may order and maintain Unbundled Dedicated Interoffice Transport (UDIT ), as provided in Section 9.6.1.1 of the Agreement and Enhanced Extended Loop (EEL ), as provided in Section 9.23.3.7 of the Agreement (together, referred to as UNE Transport ) are altered as follows: a. Effective Date to January 12, 2020 - During the time period from the Effective Date of this Amendment until January 12, 2020, CLEC may order UNE Transport pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement. In addition, CLEC may make changes in existing UNE Transport arrangements, also pursuant to the applicable terms of the Agreement.

January 12, 2020 to July 12, 2022 - After January 12, 2020, CLEC cannot order any UNE Transport from CenturyLink pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Agreement that has each endpoint in one of the Serving Wire Centers listed on the Wholesale website: http://www.centurylink.com/wholesale/clecs/nta.html#UNE-F to this Amendment (Forbearance UNE Transport ). For any UNE Transport that does not meet the definition of Forbearance UNE Transport, such UNE Transport will continue to be available and provided under the terms of the Agreement, including the terms under which it may be withdrawn. i. For any Forbearance UNE Transport procured under the terms of the Agreement (Existing Forbearance UNE Transport ) on January 12, 2020 or prior, CenturyLink will continue to provide such Existing Forbearance UNE Transport pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, including the applicable rates delineated in Exhibit A of the Agreement. ii. CLEC cannot make any changes to such Existing UNE Transport, as they will be treated in a grandfathered status, with continued receipt or disconnection of the Existing UNE Transport the only options under the Agreement available to CLEC. If CLEC issues an order to change such services, it will be treated as a conversion to Special Access services being provided solely under the Tariffs, rather than under the Agreement. iii. CLEC agrees that it will no longer submit any orders for Forbearance UNE Transport under the Agreement from CenturyLink after January 12, 2020. CLEC agrees that it is the CLEC s responsibility to ensure that no further orders for such Forbearance UNE Transport under the Agreement are submitted after January 12, 2020. 1. In order to ensure compliance with these provisions, the Parties agree that CenturyLink, on a no more than quarterly basis, may conduct an audit of CLEC s order activity after January 12, 2020, in order to identify any mistaken instances of attempting to order Forbearance UNE Transport under the terms of the Agreement. 2. Should such instances occur, the Parties further agree that CenturyLink will convert such services to the Special Access service under the applicable Tariff, changing the applicable rate charged as needed, and issue a bill to make the effective date of the charges be the date the applicable Forbearance UNE Transport was originally ordered (UNE Transport True-Up Bill ). CLEC agrees not to contest such UNE Transport True-Up Bills unless such billing is not consistent with the applicable Tariff. c. After July 12, 2022 - The Parties agree that CenturyLink will no longer provide any Forbearance UNE Transport under the terms of the Agreement after July 12, 2022. CLEC is solely responsible for either disconnecting such Forbearance UNE Transport prior to July 12, 2022 or converting to Special Access service under the applicable Tariffs. For any Forbearance UNE Transport in place as of July 12, 2022, CLEC agrees that CenturyLink will convert any such Forbearance UNE Transport to the appropriate Special Access service under the applicable Tariff, and CLEC is then responsible for such services under that Tariff. In addition, should any charges be necessary as part of that conversion, CLEC ATTACHMENT 1 August 1, 2022/nap/UNE Forbearance Amd/Negotiated/Metropolitan/ID 6 Q Amendment to CDS-041213-0017 (v.01.22.2020-4) agrees that it is responsible for payment of such charges and will not dispute application of such charges necessary for the conversion. d. Alternative UNE Transport Commercial Arrangements The Parties understand and agree that the Forbearance Orders specifically permit alternative commercial arrangements for the provision of UNEs that are impacted by the Forbearance Orders. Nothing in this Amendment either requires CenturyLink to enter into such alternative arrangements or prohibits the parties from reaching an agreement on terms and conditions of such alternative arrangements. The Parties agree that nothing in such alternative arrangement would ever be intended to change any of the obligations under this Agreement, rather to be in parallel to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
