Lee Brummett – CenturyLink then reviewed the update that he provided to the CR on March 15, 2016. The update states: For the CenturyLink ILEC companies, the only FCC tariffs with BLV/BLI are the access tariffs. There will be an FCC 214 application for legacy Qwest which will be filed at a later date. All other tariffs with BLV and BLI are intrastate tariffs which will be filed with the state public utility commissions in accordance with their rules and filing requirements. A revised CR was also posted to the CMP wholesale calendar. Lee asked if there were any questions.

Lee Brummett – CenturyLink said it would impact CLSP but would have to check on the date of the 214 FCC filing.
