Description Of Change

Currently, Qwest has a 24-hour commit tine for all LNP trouble tickets that are opened. These tickets can be escalated every ½ hour, but all the escalation does is guarantee that the ticket will be worked within 24 hours. Would like to see this reduced to a more reasonable amount of time.

Project Meetings

September 21, 2001 11:00 a.m. Change Request Response Walkthrough

Attendees:

Jim Thiessen (Avista), Lorna Dubose (Qwest), Margaret Bumgarner (Qwest), Todd Mead (Qwest), Tom Davis (Qwest), Michael Buck (Qwest)

Qwest presented the draft response to the change request. Jim (Avista) indicated that the change request was intended to correct a problem that occurs once every three or four months. (The problem has not occurred since the CR was issued in early June.) The issue is that if there is problem at the time of the port, Avista would like to have it resolved in less than 24 hours to prevent or reduce the amount of time a customer is left without service. In the past, Avista had been instructed to call the LNP LAB for resolution. When this has happened resolution has taken up to 24 hours.

Margaret (Qwest) indicated that she believes that the repair escalation process has subsequently changed. She believes the process is for the CLEC to call the ISC for issues within 48 hours of the port and that the ISC would make the call to the LNP Lab. Margaret believed that the new process was covered in a notice issued in late May.

Jim (Avista) indicated that if the process Margaret described would satisfy his concern and his intent for writing the CR.

Lorna took a few action items to confirm the process for Avista in a revised response.

Action Items: - Lorna Dubose (Qwest) to confirm process for dealing with LNP Lab (due 9/26) - Lorna Dubose (Qwest) to write revised response (due 9/26)


CenturyLink Response

November 9, 2001

Mr. Jim Thiessen

Avista Communications

This letter is in response to your CLEC Change Request Form, number 5608142 dated June 13, 2001 – LNP Repair Interval.

Request: Currently, Qwest has a 24-hour commit time for all LNP trouble tickets that are opened. These tickets can be escalated every ½ hour, but all the escalation does is guarantee that the ticket will be worked within 24 hours. Would like to see this reduced to a more reasonable amount of time.

Response: Repair intervals were agreed to at the performance measurement workshops under the auspices of the Regional Oversight Committee (ROC) and the Arizona TAG. MR-11 LNP Trouble Reports cleared within 24 hours was established as a measure of the interval agreed upon. The standard is parity with MR-3C Results for Retail Residence. Qwest will continue to be consistent with these agreements.

Qwest Call Center Agents will review any pending order information for accuracy and establish contact with the appropriate repair center, if necessary. The ISC will issue a work queue ticket and agree to provide regular status to the CLEC at regular intervals until resolution.

Sincerely,

Maureen Callan Group Product Manager
