This effort will be applied to all bill formats.

In conjunction with the CRIS system release targeted for implementation on January 31, 2005, Qwest will make no changes to its CRIS technical specifications. The CRIS system is changing to reflect the following CMP CRs, but the change does not have an impact on the technical specifications.

Summary of Change: CMP SCR061703-03, CMP SCR 5043176 Today, Western CRIS provides the NRC USOC description but does not always provide the NRC USOC with the dollar amount in the Service Order Activity section of the bill for RSID and ZCID accounts. Western CRIS will now provide the NRC USOC along with the NRC USOC description and Dollar Amount in the Service Order Activity section of the bill for all RSID and ZCID accounts. This will be displayed on the CRIS bill and the appropriate BOS record. The NRC USOC will appear on all bill media including EDI and ASCII. Multiple NRC USOCs are not to be bulked.

Comment Response: Qwest did not receive any comments during the review cycle.

-- December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was scheduled and then was related to 5043176. Connie said that complexities were identified which caused the date to change. Connie then noted that the January should not slip. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if Qwest was confident that the date would not slip because all the problems have been identified and fixed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we believe we have found the code to fix and have upgraded the test case. Connie said that we feel confident that the date will not slip. John Berard/Covad asked what the implementation date was. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest said that the implementation is January 31, 2005. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this action item will be closed.

July 9, 2004 Email Received from John Berard: Peggy, We are still reviewing this internally. I should have an answer for you next week. John Berard Director - Operations - ILEC Change Mgt

-- July 9, 2004 Email Sent from Qwest to John Berard: John, Did you decide against the manual process?

-- June 24, 2004 Email Sent to John Berard at Covad: Good Afternoon John, Have you made a decision regarding the manual process request? Please see information below. This is the email that I handed you in the June 17th Systems CMP Meeting, for your review. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- June 17, 2004: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest gave copy of the email that was sent on May 26th to John Berard. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Covad if, based on the information in the email, if he still had a need for the requested interim manual process. John Berard/Covad stated that he would review the email and get a response back to me.

June 8, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John, Any response to the email below?

Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

May 26, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John,

We met internally to discuss how the manual process might look like in preparation with our meeting with you. I was asked to provide you with some information and to request some information, prior to our call (not yet scheduled).

Comments:

- The FOC that Qwest provides currently contains the service order information/USOCs. The FOC can be used for validation. - Additional service order details can be obtained from the PSON. PSONs do need to be subscribed to via a call to the Help Desk. The PSON includes information form the Listing, Bill, Control, Traffic, and Service & Equipment Sections of the Service Order. - The bill that you currently receive does have the dollar amount, from the service order, so validation can currently occur. - The targeted implementation date for this CR is December 4, 2004. - In our internal discussions, we have so far been unable to determine how a manual process could be implemented for this CR. Our initial internal discussions have determined that if a manual process can be developed, it would be a very large effort that would require a large amount of time to develop and implement. This CR would most likely be implemented before any manual process could be developed and implemented. Questions:

- This Change Request is specifically for the 10-30-20 and 10-30-21 files. Does Covad receive and use these record types? - Will you please advise me of what your specific business need is for the manual process. This will help in our researching if a manual process could be developed prior to this CR being implemented. - Based on the information that I have provided above, does Covad still want to pursue a manual process? If this is something that you would still like to pursue, please let me know what your specific business need is. We can then take another look at any possible solution for a manual process and schedule a call with you to discuss. Thanks John, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

- April 5, 2004 Email Sent to John Berard/Covad: John, This email is a follow-up to the voicemail message that I left for you last week regarding the CMP CR for ‘Western Region to Provide Dollar Amount Associated to USOC for Other Charges & Credits (OC&C)’ During the March Systems CMP Meeting, you asked that a manual process be developed for SCR061703-03IG, until the CR was implemented.

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this effort would apply to all bill formats. Lynn noted that the CR would be revised with that information. There were no additional comments or questions. This Action Item is closed.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that PC051403-2 is related to this CR but that it is a different request. Lynn noted that the Product/Process CR is asking for zone information, which will require systems work, so she would like the Product/Process CR to be crossed over to Systems. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the resolution of the trouble ticket for Better OCC Invoices might take care of these CRs. Connie stated there would be a read-out at the September Systems CMP Meeting. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the CRs description talks about CABS BOS and asked if it would also update Billmate. Kerri Waldner/Qwest stated that it is only impacting CABS BOS. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this CR is 700 to 1400 hours. There were no other questions or comments.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed the CR description and stated that this CR is currently in evaluation and at this time looks to be a very large effort. Qwest is continuing to evaluate possible solutions. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked what is meant by dollar amount. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it would be the fractional amount. John Berard/Covad stated that Covad has a Product/Process CR that is asking to address USOCs and stated that it could be related to this CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we would look into that possibility. There were no other questions or comments. This CR remains in Evaluation status.

-- June 20, 2003 Clarification: CR Description: Currently, western region does not provide the dollar amount at the USOC level in the OC&C Section of the bill.
