Subject: RE: Clarification on Rate Maps/document to determine zones for lo op rates Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 17:12:04 -0600 From: "Clauson, Karen L." To: Todd Mead CC: Kathleen Stichter , "Morrisette, Garth M." , Susan Travis I will be in Denver for the CMP Re-design meeting on Tuesday-Thursday. We can discuss on a break, if you would like. Otherwise, you can arrange a call with Kathy Stichter and Garth Morrisette while I am out, if Kathy can find a suitable time for you. Essentially, we are simply asking for the documentation that allows us to determine where our lines (and future lines) fall within the zones that have been established for geographically deaveraged loop rates. For example, a newspaper article in Denver said that Zone 1 (the most dense zone) covered most of the city of Denver. What are the boundaries of that Zone? Do you have a list of wire centers/CLLI code by zone (where the zone is defined by wire centers) or a map that shows these zones? We need this information for AZ and CO. I am copying Susan Travis of WCOM, because she had this same request, and she may have other states.

01/04/02 E-mail from Eschelon requesting additional information on Qwest response content

Subject: RE: Qwest Rate Center Maps Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 11:26:00 -0600 From: "Clauson, Karen L." To: Todd Mead , "Van Meter, Sharon K, NCAM" CC: jmschu4@qwest.com, susan.a.travis@wcom.com, klclauson@eschelon.com, "Saunders, Craig" , "Stichter, Kathleen L." Todd: Thanks for the helpful response. Since Sharon asked specifically about the rate center maps, I wasn't sure that your response below deals with the Distribution Area (DA) maps requested by Eschelon. Will we be getting the DA maps at the January meeting? Also, at the meeting in December, we discussed whether the CLECs were actually requesting the correct items to meet their objectives (e.g., being able to identify customers in zones for geographically deaveraged rates). I believe this caem up because Qwest said that it didn't know if it had maps of the type requested. If not, then Qwest must look at something else to make these determinations. We asked that, if we had not requested the documentation used by Qwest for this purpose, that such documentation also be produced. Have you determined yet whether Qwest has different documents/maps and, if so, will that be provided at the January meeting? Thanks, Karen

At the December CMP meeting, we had a general clarification on this CR where you presented the business reasons for submitting this CR and then the Qwest SME's asked you several questions pertaining to the exact nature of information you were after with these rate center maps. The following are notes I documented from the December CMP clarification meeting: - What states you wanted maps for (Washington, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Arizona & New Mexico) - What level of detail (you want to be able to see what rate center a specific address is located in) - What format you are after (CLECs prefer electronic, however hard copy would do) - Whether you wanted to only see major metro areas i.e.. Denver, Aurora, Smokey Hills etc. CLECs agreed to this - Eschelon wanted to know if these maps would show how each customer is being served i.e. RSU (Qwest responded they would not and Eschelon responded that they may submit a separate CR). - Worldcom wanted to know if the maps show the CILLI detail (they had some examples from previous USWest maps). We have since contacted LeiLani and she has forwarded a copy of these old maps to the Qwest SME to review to help their response preparation. - You also want the response to include the process for getting these maps updated At the January CMP meeting (01/16/02) Qwest will present their response to your CR. The Qwest team is currently working on this response and I will e-mail it to you (plus Eschelon and Worldcom) as soon as I receive it from the Qwest SME. The response will also be posted to the CMP database and published on the web no later than next Friday (01/11/02). If I have missed something here, I would be more than happy to discuss this with you. You can call me anytime today to discuss this. Regards Todd

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC110201-1 Qwest Rate Center Maps

REQUEST: Qwest determines the Rate Centers. AT&T needs to mirror the Rate Center areas for residential LNP. What is the process for obtaining Rate Center Maps from Qwest?

Additional clarifications/requests: Requested maps at a street level detail. Requested maps for MSA’s in Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Minnesota, & New Mexico Prefer electronic, however paper will do. Requested maps at a level to determine DA areas. Requested maps at a CLLI level detail. Requested a process to update maps.

RESPONSE: Qwest has provided, on the Qwest Wholesale web site, the same rate center maps that Qwest uses and updates on a quarterly basis. The URL is:

www.qwest.com/wholesale/network/ratecentermaps.html

Qwest does not solely rely upon rate center maps to determine number portability. Qwest, as well as other companies, relies upon the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG) as the official guide to determine the portability of a number. Qwest determines whether a number is available for porting by looking at the customers switch information, both from and to, which reflects the serving rate center. As determined by the FCC, Qwest does not permit the porting of the numbers between two different rate centers.

Currently the Rate Center maps used by Qwest and provided on the wholesale website do not have the capability to provide wire center street level detail. Maps of DA’s are available through the Qwest Wholesale web site by following the process outlined under the URL:

www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/remotecollocation.html

Requesting multiple DA’s in a particular wire center will enable CLEC’s to ascertain the description of the wire center boundary.

In regard to the request for maps where Qwest plans fiber and copper jobs greater than $100,000, Qwest has plot maps that are available for review as outlined in SGAT section 10.8.2.4. Qwest agrees to provide CLEC access to relevant plats upon receiving a bona fide request for such information as stated in the SGAT.

Sincerely,

Craig Saunders Staff Advocate Policy & Law Qwest
