Description Of Change
Qwest will provide the ability for CEMR users to reserve a four (4) hour access window for trouble reports for Resale Business and Retail accounts as well as UNE-P accounts.

Allow the user to reserve a four hour window for Field Dispatchable trouble reports.

Qwest published notification number SYST.06.29.04.F.01835.MEDIACCJunePntRel on June 29, 2004. In it, Qwest referred to CMP CR# SCR042004-01. This CR was referred to in error, and does not contain MEDIACC work.

On June 1, 2004, Qwest issued notification SYST.06.01.04.F.01746.MEDIACCJunePtRel regarding the MEDIACC June Point release. In that notification, Qwest stated that the change would include the ability for customers to select a four hour "appointment" for trouble reports that require dispatch for 2-wire UBL Analog Loop. This correction is being issued because the MEDIACC June Point Release does not include that change.

Questions may be directed to Qwest IT Communications at itcomm@qwest.com.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Cathy Garcia/Qwest reviewed the description of the CR. Qwest is looking to provide the ability for CEMR users to reserve a four (4) hour access window for trouble reports for Resale Business and Retail accounts as well as UNE-P accounts. Cathy stated that this will also be applicable for UBL 2 Wire Analog accounts. She also stated that today CEMR allows the user to identify an access window; this change will allow the user to ‘reserve’ a time slot on a trouble report if a field dispatch is required. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest was limiting the product scope to Resale, 2-Wire Analog UBL, & UNE-P and what about the 4-wire UBL Product. Cathy Garcia/Qwest said that UBL 2 wire analog is the only Design service product included. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the status of this CR is in Presented Status.

-- Clarification Meeting - April 28, 2004

Introduction of Attendees: Cathy Garcia-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Carrie Stirman-Qwest, Jim Recker-Qwest, Michael Lopez-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest

Review Requested (Description of) Change: Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed that the request is that Qwest will provide the ability for CEMR users to reserve a four (4) hour access window for trouble reports for Resale Business and Retail accounts as well as UNE-P accounts. This will also be applicable for UBL 2 Wire Analog accounts. Currently today CEMR allows the user to identify an access window; this change will allow the user to 'reserve' a time slot on a trouble report if a field dispatch is required. The Expected Deliverable is that Qwest allow the user to reserve a four hour window for Field Dispatchable trouble reports.

Confirmed Impacted Area(s): Maintenance & Repair

Confirmed Impacted Interfaces: CEMR only. This will NOT apply to MEDIACC.

Confirmed Impacted Products: Resale, 2-wire Analog UBL, and UNE-P

Additional Discussion: Jim Recker-Qwest asked if this request was only for non-designed. Cathy Garcia-Qwest stated that it is for both designed and non-designed. Cathy noted that 2-wire Analog UBL is designed. Cathy Garcia-Qwest stated that this will be a state-by-state migration and stated that the implementation dates are not yet known. Cathy Garcia-Qwest stated that the Maintenance & Repair PCAT language will be changed, for residential customers, from a 24 hour Out of Service Commitment to a 12 hour Out of Service Commitment, with a 4-hour access window. Business (UNE-P) customers will get a 4-hour commitment. Commitment hours are business hours. Cathy stated that if an override, of the access window, is needed, the CLEC will need to call Qwest, which is the current process. Cathy Garcia-Qwest stated that it is important that it is understood that this request is for CEMR ONLY and that appointments will not be able to be reserved in MEDIACC. Jim Recker-Qwest asked if a CLEC opens a trouble ticket at 4:00 p.m., would they get a commit time by 8:00 p.m. Cathy Garcia-Qwest responded no. Cathy stated that the 4-hour timeframe will be within the core business hours and noted that the core business hours vary by State. Cathy stated that the core hours will be in the SIG. Jim Recker-Qwest stated that they may also be referenced in the M&R PCAT. There were no additional comments or questions.

Obtain the Business Need from the CR Originator: Need the ability to reserve a timeslot for a Trouble Report if a dispatch is required.

Establish Action Plan & Resolution Time Frame: CR is due for presentation at the May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest will provide the response to the CR in June 2004.
