Description Of Change

Currently neither the Qwest paper bill nor the BillMate MONSERV (monthly service) file show an associated CLLI code for each UNE-P ANI or UNE Loop ANI. Since Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates it is essential that Eshelon know what zone each ANI is in. Eschelon has to look in the LERG using the NPA and NXX to find the CLLI for each ANI. Then Eschelon needs to look up the associated Rate Zone. This is an extra step and extremely time consumming. Eschelon asks Qwest to provide documentation, in Excel spreadsheet format, on its Wholesale web site which lists each NPA-NXX with its associated CLLI and Rate Zone. This is an alternative to a denied CR, SCR061902-01, which asked for this information on the BillMate MONSERV file.

Project Meetings

11/20/02 November CMP Meeting Elaine Maynard with Qwest, reviewed the Qwest draft response and gave historical information regarding the Eschelon denied Systems Change Request, SCR061902-01. Elaine said that the IT representative had suggested that it would be possible to provide a downloadable spreadsheet with NPA/NXX CLLI and rate zone information. When this Product and Process CR was investigated, Qwest then determined that providing the NPA/NXX and CLLI in downloadable format would be a breech of the Telcordia contract. Kathy Stitcher with Eschelon asked if the CR was denied. Elaine said it is being denied due to contract and copyright restriction with Telcordia.

-- 10/16/02 October CMP Meeting Michael Buck gave historical information about previous system change request that was denied and said that Qwest had an alternative approach and Eschelon submitted the CR as Product and Process. There was agreement to cross-over the system CR and we will look to close the systems CR. Eschelon presented the CR to the CMP participants and explained that they need associated information to identify correct deaveraging. Qwest had proposed that the web site could have an Excel spreadsheet with the information needed. Dennis Martinez with Qwest asked if the spreadsheet would be static and contain only updates from the LERG. Kathy Stitcher with Eschelon agreed. Qwest understands the requested deliverables and the CR will be updated to Evaluation Status.

10/7/02 Clarification from Kathy Stichter

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon called to confirm that Eschelon did not want the interactive web site. They want the spreadsheet only.

10/7/02 - Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees - Kathy Stichter - Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon, Ric Martin - Qwest, Beth Foster - Qwest, Dennis Martinez - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Requested Change Lynn Stecklein - Qwest reviewed the request. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest provide documentation, in an Excel spreadsheet, on its Wholesale web site which lists each NPA NXX with its associated CLLI and Rate Zone. Currently, Eschelon is using the LERG to get the CLLI information and find it very time consuming.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted This change request applies to UNE and UNE-P.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved The Product/Process CRPM (Ric Martin) attended the call because this CR will be handled as a crossover to Product/Process.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation Dennis Martinez/Qwest confirmed that Eschelon was looking for Web functionality. Eschelon agreed. Dennis Martinez/Qwest also confirmed that Eschelon wanted the spreadsheet only and did not want interactive functionality. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she would verify and get back to Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this web site existed. Dennis Martinez/Qwest said that it does not exist today and that he website will most likely be added to the Wholesale web site. Dennis Martinez/Qwest also said that there might be a gap with number portability. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that did not appear to be a problem for Eschelon.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests This will be handled as a Product/Process Crossover. This CR is an alternative to a denied CR, SCR061902-01.

Establish Action Plan Lynn Stecklein/Qwest will create the Crossover CR. The Crossover CR (PC093002-06X) will be presented in the October CMP Systems Meeting.

SUBJECT:Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR #PC093002-06X Request for NPA/NXX with corresponding CLLI and Rate Zone documentation on the Qwest Wholesale Web Site

This CR requests that Qwest provide documentation, in Excel spreadsheet format, on its Wholesale web site which lists each NPA-NXX with its associated CLLI and Rate Zone.

Qwest has investigated the creation of downloadable Excel Spreadsheets that would provide by State, all CLLIs within the state, all NPA/NXX combinations valid for each CLLI, and, the Geographic Deaveraging Zone that is applicable.

It is noted that this information is already currently available. The NPA/NXX can be used to perform a look up on the LERG to determine the associated CLLI or the CLLI can be used to perform a look up on the LERG to determine the NPA/NXXs associated with a particular CLLI. The Qwest web site for Geographic Deaveraging (http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/guides/geozone.html) can be used to view or download a spreadsheet that displays the associated CLLI code and zone.

As a result of this investigation, Qwest must respectfully deny this change request due to legal implications. By providing the information, we would breech our contract and copyright agreement with Telcordia. These restrictions prohibit Qwest from providing the information in the format requested or in any format beyond what is currently provided.

Sincerely,

Elaine Maynard Senior Process Analyst Qwest
