Description Of Change

The current process for the QCCC is to call Allegiance with notifiction of No Dial Tone at 48 hours prior to cut date. Allegiance would like to receive all notifications of NDT at 48 hours prior to cut date through email using Qwest's PTA tool in place of receiving these notifications by telephone calls or leaving voice mails.This will allow proper tracking of NDT notifications by both Qwest and the CLECs. This will also insure the CLECs have sufficient time to achieve dial tone prior to cut date. Allegiance believes that receiving email notifications will save a lot of time for both Qwest and the CLECs

Project Meetings

Qwest explained this process was implemented effective October 11, 2002. No issues have been identified with the process and Qwest requested to close this CR. Lori Mendoza - Allegiance advised they are using the process and it is working without any issues. Allegiance and the other CLECs in attendance agreed to close the CR.

10/18/02 October CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes Qwest explained this process was implemented effective October 11, 2002. As of October 16, four CLECs have signed up to receive E-Mail Notification of NDT via the PTA tool. Eschelon verified that if you do not sign up for email notification via the PTA tool then you will not get any NDT notification, as the only method of NDT notification is now the PTA tool. CLECs can continue to sign up at any time. Qwest agreed to leave the CR in CLEC Test since this process was just implemented, with potential closure in November.

09/18/02 September CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes

Qwest advised that the Level 3 notification had been issued and that the comment cycle was scheduled to end this Friday, September 20th. Qwest advised that Qwest Service Managers had sent out notifications to their CLECs advising them to provide their e-mail address. The CLECs expressed concern over the 48-our language as written and intervals that were longer than the standard intervals. Qwest confirmed that the 48-hour notification was from the due date and this would be clarified in the PCAT or in writing. CLECs expressed concern over participation in the trial. It was agreed that next time Qwest does a trial, Qwest could evaluate if additional CLECs need to be involved. CLECs requested that the final notification advise the CLECs of the impact of the e-mail notification change. Qwest advised that they would add language in the final notification that advises the CLECs that if they do not provide an e-mail address they would not receive the No Dial Tone notifications.

08/21/02 August CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes

Qwest provided a status update on issuance of the Level 3 notice. Qwest indicated that they were holding off until the current 2-wire 4-wire PCAT language gets published to the Web on August 26, 2002. Allegiance expressed concern that issuance was based on the no dial tone PCAT language since they have taken exception to the language. Qwest advised that this could be addressed during the 1:00 p.m. discussion on issuance of the PCAT language. Eschelon advised that they were disappointed that they will need to wait longer for issuance of the Level 3 notice. They stated that Qwest advised last month that it would be issued by this month’s meeting and now they have to wait longer. AT&T asked if they could only have one e-mail. Qwest advised that they could only have one and it must be different than the e-mail if they are receiving test results.

-

07/17/02 - July CMP Meeting Minutes: Qwest will continue with the trial that began May 6, 2002. It is available to all CLECs. Allegiance asked if all CLECs had to request the process in order for it to proceed. Qwest responded that the answer is yes, it is all or nothing. Allegiance stated that there should be a choice and that the Qwest response does not reference the “all or nothing” position. Qwest responded that the Level 3 process will support this effort and will allow other CLEC participation.. Qwest will issue the Level 3 initial notice prior to the August CMP meeting. CR status was changed to development.

Terry Wicks LEC Manager Allegiance Telecom, Inc.

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC050302-1 E-mail notifications of NDT at 48 hours through PTA tool

This is in response to Allegiance’s Change Request (CR) PC050302-1. This CR requests that all notifications of No Dial Tone (NDT) at 48 hours prior to the cut date be provided to the CLEC via e-mail using Qwest’s Plant Test Access (PTA) tool. The current trial of PTA e-mail notifications with Allegiance began on May 6, 2002. The trial with Allegiance will continue during the implementation phase for this CR.

Qwest is able to provide all NDT notifications via e-mail using the PTA tool. PTA notifications require that CLECs provide Qwest with an e-mail address separate from the e-mail address provided for test results. CLECS should send their NDT PTA e-mail location to Deni Toye, dtoye@qwest.com. Qwest will add the CLECs NDT PTA e-mail address to the notification list upon receipt. To provide an efficient and uniform notification, Qwest will provide NDT notifications via the PTA tool to all CLECs.

Based upon Qwest’s understanding of the scope of this CR, Qwest views the implementation of this CR as a Level 3 Product & Process change. Timing of the implementation of this change will be dependent upon the quantity and nature of CLEC comments.

Qwest will seek concurrence for this approach at the July Monthly Product & Process CMP Meeting.

Sincerely,

Neil Houston Staff Advocate Policy & Law
