Description Of Change
Sprint wants USW to follow the industry-wide practice of sending FOCs prior to sending Jeopardies.

Sprint needs confirmation of the order first. Then, other arrangements can be made for installation if necessary.

USW sends the Jeopardy before the FOC if they know facilities are not available. This can occur even when availability was confirmed through the Facility Availability Query pre-order transaction (FAQ). Sprint is familiar with USW's disclaimer in its disclosure documentation that availability is not guaranteed, but did not expect the situation to occur as frequently as it does.

USW states in its disclosure document that "A FOC form will be sent to the Co-Provider when an order has been accepted by U S WEST and successfully entered into the U S WEST Service Order Processor". It does not say a Jeopardy will precede the confirmation (full text below).

(US West SOAR, ver 4.2) -

"A FOC is an indicator to the Co-Provider that the order has been entered into U S WEST’s Service Order

Processor systems. A FOC form will be sent to the Co-Provider when an order has been accepted by

U S WEST and successfully entered into the U S WEST Service Order Processor. A FOC will contain the

U S WEST service order number in the “ORD” field. If an LSR is broken up into multiple U S WEST

service orders, the “ORD” field will repeat on the FOC. Note that in this document the Firm Order

Confirmation is referred to as the FOC; however, the actual OBF form is the LSC."
