Description Of Change

Allegiance is requesting that the CFA information be added to the current PTA notifications of NDT. During the testing of the PTA tool notification of NDT, there have been several instances of receiving a notification of NDT that were Qwest errors. When Allegiance has researched these, everything checks out fine. Our translations are correct, and when dispatching our Tech to our Collocation to check the pairs, the pairs are working fine. The issue has been that Qwest has them on the wrong pair and in some instances the service order has been incorrectly issued.

This is resulting in Allegiance spending extra time, effort and money to isolate the NDT issue to the Qwest side. What would resolve this is if the Pair Information was also on the PTA notification next to the telephone number. With this information showing what pairs Qwest is testing to, we can identify the error quicker.

Expected Deliverable:

Receiving the PTA email notifications of NDT with the CFA information provided in addition to PON, TNs and DD

Project Meetings

12/18/02 December CMP Meeting Qwest (Hendricks) reported that the QCCC is working to ensure they follow the process and Allegiance (Mendoza) reported the process is working as agreed to and it is O.K. to close the CR. This CR will change to Closed status.

11/20/02 November CMP Meeting Qwest (Thomte) indicated that she thought some problems had been identified recently through a comment from Lori Mendoza. Linda Hendricks confirmed that was true. Allegiance (Mendoza) indicated that they were getting CFA on the PTA about 50 percent of the time. Other CLECs indicated they were seeing problems as well. This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

10/16/02 October CMP Meeting Qwest initiated a Level 1 notification (PROS.10.14.02.F.00598.CFAEmailNotice) on October 14 advising the CLEC community that CFA information would be provided on PTA E-mail notifications. This CR moved to “CLEC Test”

09/18/02 September CMP Meeting This CR should be discussed in conjunction with PC050302-1. Qwest provided an updated response indicating this Change Request has been accepted, although it is dependent on the implementation of PC050302-1. Participants agreed that PC071502-1 CR can implement with a Level 1 notice after comments cycle is completed for PC050302-1. This CR will change to "Development"status with agreement to update to "CLEC Test" once Level 1 notice is sent.

Allegiance can review based on what they passed on the LSR and what Qwest FOCd back. 2.3

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR #PC071502-1 Include CFA Information on PTA Email Notifications of NDT.

This is a preliminary response regarding Allegiance CR PC071502-1 (Include CFA Information on PTA E-Mail Notifications of NDT). As discussed in the August Product & Process Monthly CMP Meeting, this CR is dependent on the outcome of PC050302-1 (Email Notification of No Dial Tone at 48 Hours).

The implementation of Change Request PC050302-1 is being pursued as a CMP Level 3 change as agreed to in the July Product & Process Monthly CMP Meeting. Based upon the issuance of notice PROD.09.05.02.F.00818.AnalogLoop24Wire, Change Request PC050302-1 is currently in a comment cycle.

Upon the implementation of Change Request PC050302-1 Qwest anticipates being able to make changes as described in PC071502-1. Specifically, Qwest expects to be able to include CFA information in addition to PON, TNs and DD in PTA e-mail notifications.

Assuming the successful implementation of e-mail notifications of No Dial Tone (NDT) per Change Request PC050302-1, Qwest would propose to notify the CLEC community of the changes specified in PC071502-1 as a Level 1 change (i.e. “additional information that does not change the product or process”). Qwest will seek concurrence with this approach at the September Product & Process Monthly CMP Meeting.

Sincerely,

Linda Hendricks Lead Project Analyst Qwest
