TARIFF FORMAT PAGES
Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new page
is added between pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new page added
between pages 14 and 15 would be 14.
Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on filed with the APSC. For
example, the 4th revised Page No. 14 cancels the 3rd revised Page No. 14. Because of various
suspension periods, deferrals, etc., the APSC follows in their tariff approval process, the most
current Page number on file with the Commission is not always the tariff page in effect. Consult the
Check Page No. for the Page No. currently in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding
is subservient to its next higher level:
2. 1 . 1.A. 1 .
(a).
A.1.(a).
(a).I.(i).
(a).I.(i).(1).
Check Pages - When a tariff filing is made with the APSC, an updated check page accompanies the
tariff filing. The check page lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a cross reference to the
current revision number. When new pages are added, the check page is changed to reflect the
revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will be no other
symbols used on this page if these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc. remains the
same , just revised revision levels on some pages). The tariff user should refer to the latest check
page to find out if a particular page is the most current on file with the APSC.

The Relevant VolP-PSTN Traffic identified in accordance with this tariff
Section will be billed at rates equal to the Verizon Access’applicable T
tariffed interstate switched access rates as specified in Tariff FCC No.1.T/N
Intrastate access minutes of use not required to be billed at interstate

other rate provisions of this Tariff (absent an agreement between Verizon
Access and the customer on a different compensation mechanism).N
2.3.3.4.3 Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factor
Verizon Access will determine the number of Relevant VolP-PSTN Traffic T
minutes of use (“MOU”)to which interstate rates will be applied under
subsection 2.3.3.4.2,above,through the use of a Percent VoIP Usage D/C
(“PVU”)factor,which in turn will be based on a PVU-C factor and a PVU-V
factor.These factors will be derived and applied as set forth below.The
PVU-V and PVU-C factors will be based on information such as the
number of Verizon Access’or the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in
the state (e.g.,as reported on FCC Form 477),traffic studies,actual call
detail,or other relevant and verifiable information.D/C
2.3.3.4.3.1 For the period from December 29,2011 through July 12,C/N
2012,and for the period on and after July 1,2014:
(a)The customer will calculate and furnish to Verizon Access
a PVU-C factor representing the percentage of the total
access MOU that the customer exchanges with Verizon
Access in the State that (a)is sent to Verizon Access and
that originated in IP format;or (b)is received from Verizon
and terminated in lP format.A PVU-C factor for the period
December 29,2011 through July 12,2012 must be
submitted by April 15,2012,in order to apply retroactively
to December 29,2011.A PVU-C factor for the period on
and after July 1,2014 will be submitted by June 1,2014.
(b)The Company will,likewise,calculate PVU-V factors for
the two periods representing the percentage of Verizon
Access’total access MOU in the State that Verizon
Access originates or terminates on its network in lP
format,and will begin applying those PVU-V factors to the
calculation of the PVU factor as of December 29,2011

Taxes
The Customer is responsible for the payment of any sales , use, gross
receipts, excise, access or other local, state and federal taxes, charges or
surcharges (however designated) excluding taxes on the Company s net
income imposed on or based upon the provision, sale or use of Access
Services. All such taxes shall be separately designated on the Company
invoices. Any taxes imposed by a local jurisdiction (e., county and
municipal taxes) will only be recovered from those Customers located in
the affected jurisdictions. If an entity other than the Company (e.g. another
carrier or a supplier) imposes charges on the Company, in addition to its
own internal costs, in connection with a service for which the Company
Non-Recurring Charge is specified, those charges will be passed on to the
Customer. It shall be the responsibility of the Customer to pay any such
taxes that subsequently become applicable retroactively.
A surcharge is imposed on all charges for service originating at addresses
in states which levy, or assert a claim of right to levy, a gross receipts tax
on the Company s operations in any such state, or a tax on interstate
access charges incurred by the Company for originating access to
telephone exchanges in that state. This surcharge is based on the
particular state s receipts tax and other state taxes imposed directly or
indirectly upon the Company by virtue of, and measured by, the gross
receipts or revenues of the Company in that state and/or payment of
interstate access charges in that state. The surcharge will be shown as a
separate line item on the Customer s monthly invoice.
Pending the conclusion of any challenge to a jurisdictions right to impose a gross receipts tax the Company may elect to impose and collect a
surcharge covering such taxes, unless otherwise constrained by court order or direction, or it may elect not to impose and collect the surcharge. If it
has collected a surcharge and the challenged tax is found to have been invalid and unenforceable, the Company, in its sole discretion, will either
reduce service rates for a fixed period of time in the future in order to flow - through to Customers an amount equivalent to the funds collected or it will
credit or refund such amounts to affected Customers (less its reasonable administrative costs), if the funds collected were retained by the Company or
if they were delivered over to the taxing jurisdiction and later returned to the Company, or negotiate an arrangement with the taxing jurisdiction that
benefits Customers in the jurisdiction in the future,

Upon the Company s discontinuance of service to the Customer under
Section 2.1 or 2.2 above, the
Company, in addition to all other remedies that may be available to the
Company at law or in equity or under any other provision of this tariff, may
declare all future monthly and other charges which would have been

services would have otherwise been provided to the Customer to be
immediately due and payable.
When Access Service is provided by more than one Company, the
companies involved in providing the joint
service may individually or collectively deny service to a Customer for
nonpayment. Where the Company(s) affected by the nonpayment is
incapable of effecting discontinuance of service without cooperation fromthe other joint providers of Switched Access Service, such other
Company(s) will , if technically feasible, assist in denying the joint service to
the Customer. Service denial for such joint service will only include calls
originating or terminating within, or transiting, the operating territory of the
Company initiating the service denial for nonpayment. When more than
one of the joint providers must deny service to effectuate termination for
nonpayment, in cases where a conflict exists in the applicable tariff
provisions, the tariff regulations of the company whose Local Switching
Center serves the Customer shall apply for joint service discontinuance.

Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arranqements
Switched Access Service is provided in the following service type:
Feature Group D (FGD) Access
FGD Access, which is available to all Customers, is provisioned at the DS1 level
and provides trunk-side access to Company Local Switching Center switches, with
an associated uniform 10XXX Access Code for the Customers use in originating
and terminating communications. Basic FGD service will be provided with Multi-
Frequency In Band Signaling (SS7 is also available as a Common Switching Option
for Feature Group D). In addition , Conventional Signaling for direct Carrier Trunk
groups is available at the Customer s option. End Users of the Customer s service
may also originate calls to certain FGD Access Customers without dialing the
10XXX Access Code if the End User is presubscribed, as described herein.
The Access Code for FGD switching is a uniform Access Code of the form 10XXX.
A single Access Code will be the assigned number of all FGD access provided to
the Customer by the Company. No Access Code is required for calls to a Customer
over FGD Switched Access Service if the End User s telephone exchange service is
arranged for Presubscription to that Customer, as set forth herein.
Where no Access Code is required , the number dialed by the Customer s End User
shall be a seven or ten digit number for calls in the North American Numbering Plan
(NANP), except for 00- dialed calls which are routed to the predesignated
Customer. For international calls outside the NANP, a seven to twelve digit number
may be dialed. The form of the numbers dialed by the Customer s End User is
NXX-XXXX, 0 or 1 + NXX-XXXX, NPA + NXX-XXXX, 0 or 1 + NPA + NXX-XXXX
and , when the Local Switching Center is equipped for International Direct Distance
Dialing (IDDD), 01 + CC + NN or 011 + CC + NN.
When the 10XXX Access Code is used , FGD switching also provides for dialing the
digit 0 for access to the Customer s operator, 911 for access to the Company
emergency service, or the end-of-dialing digit (#) for cut-through access to the
Customer s Premises.
In addition , End Users may originate calls by dialing the 950-XXXX Access Code
specific to a particular Interexchange Carrier, provided that the Interexchange
Carrier has subscribed to the Company s Feature Group D with 950 Access
Common Switching Optional Feature. If the End User is presubscribed to that
Interexchange Carrier, no Access Code is necessary.
Manner of Provision
Trunks used for Switched Access Service may be configured for one-way (either
originating only or terminating only) or for two-way directionality. It is the Customer
responsibility to order a sufficient number of trunks of each type in order to meet its
desired grade of service objective. At the Customers request, the Company will
assist the Customer in sizing Switched Access Trunk groups.

Oblioations of Company
In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in other sections of this tariff, the
Company has certain other obligations concerning the provision of Switched Access
Service. These obligations are as follows:
Network Manaoement
The Company will administer its Network to ensure the provision of acceptable
service levels to all telecommunications users of the Company s Network Services.
Generally, service levels are considered acceptable only when both End Users and
Customers are able to establish connections with little or no delay encountered
within the Company Network. The Company reserves the right to apply protective
controls, (i.e., those actions, such as call gapping, which selectively cancel the
completion of traffic), over any traffic carried over its Network, including that
associated with a Customer s Switched Access Service. Generally, such protective
measures would only be taken as a result of occurrences such as failure or
overload of Company or Customer facilities, natural disasters, mass calling or
national security demands. The Customer will notify the Company of anticipated
peaked services as stated below. Based on the information provided, the Company
will work cooperatively with the Customer to determine the appropriate level of
control. In the event that the protective controls applied by the Company result in the
complete loss of service by the Customer, the Customer will be granted a credit
allowance for service interruption as set forth in 2.
When a Customer uses the Company facilities to offer services for which a
substantial call volume or peaked service is expected during a short period of time
the Customer must notify the Company at least 24 hours in advance of each peak
period. For events scheduled during weekends or holidays, the Company must be
notified no later than 5:00 p.m. local time the prior business day. Notification should
include the nature, time, duration , and frequency of the event, an estimated call
volume, and the NPA NXX and line number(s) to be used. On the basis of the
information provided, the Company may invoke network management controls if
required to reduce the probability of excessive Network congestion. The Company
will work cooperatively with the Customer to determine the appropriate level of such
control. Failure to provide prescribed notification may result in Customer caused
Network congestion, which could result in discontinuance of service under Section
5 and/or damages under Section 2.1.4.

Billinq of Access Minutes When recording originating calls over FGD with multifrequency
address signaling, usage measurement begins when the first wink supervisory signal is
forwarded from the Customer s facilities. The measurement of originating call usage over
FGD ends when the originating FGD entry switch receives disconnect supervision from
either the originating End User s Local Switching Center (indicating that the originating End
User has disconnected), or the Customer s facilities, whichever is recognized first by the
entry switch.
For terminating calls over FGD with multifrequency address signaling, the measurement of
access minutes begins when a seizure signal is received from the Carrier s Trunk group at
the Point of Presence within the LATA. The measurement of terminating call usage over
FGD ends when a disconnect signal is received, indicating that either the originating or
terminating user has disconnected.
When recording originating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, usage measurement begins
with the transmission of the initial address message by the switch for direct Trunk groups
and with the receipt of an exit message by the switch for tandem Trunk groups. The
measurement of originating FGD usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a
release message, whichever occurs first.
For terminating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, the measurement of access minutes
begins when the terminating recording switch receives the initial address message from the
terminating End User. On directly routed Trunk groups or on tandem routed Trunk groups
the Company switch receives the initial address message and sends the indication to the
Customer in the form of an answer message. The measurement of terminating FGD call
usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message, whichever occurs
first.
