Archived System CR SCR010303-01 Detail

Therefore, if so requested by the CLEC, for each state where a CLEC had UNE-P and/or Resale DUF data, Qwest would provide a UNE-P DUF and/or a Resale DUF, and identify the associated state. Such that for a CLEC with UNE-P and Resale DUF data in all 14 states, Qwest would provide a total of 28 files (14 UNE-P files and 14 Resale files) each with a unique DSN.

[ NOTE : This functionality is requested to be made available in conjunction with Qwest’s current offering to provide UNE-P DUF data separated by ADUF (Cat. 11) and ODUF (Cat. 10) data. ]

Providing DUF data segmented by product type and state will benefit both Qwest and the CLEC by minimizing the size of each DUF and thereby reducing the risk associating with handling extremely large file sizes. Additionally, the separation of DUF data will ease the management of the data and troubleshooting issues.

Introduction of attendees: Liz Balvin-WorldCom, Beverly Lambert-WorldCom, Shelley Mason-Qwest, Cathy Stacy-Qwest, Kerri Wagner-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest, Jed McDonnell-Qwest, Wendy Green-Qwest

Review of Request- Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR as listed on the CR form. She asked Balvin-WorldCom if there were any change or additions. Balvin-WorldCom stated that Qwest had asked on the Customer Questionaire about data sets by state and then it was flushed out that it was provided by region. She stated that Qwest already sections out by ADUF and ODUF and that she did not want that to change. Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any questions from the Qwest team. McDonnell-Qwest asked if WorldCom received this information from other RBOCs. Beverly-WorldCom stated that did receive the information from some RBOCs and they had requests into all others.

Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the products and interfaces impacted and asked if there were any changes or additions. No additions.

Nolan-Qwest stated that the CR would be presented in the February CMP Systems Meeting and that Qwest would provide its initial response prior to the meeting as scheduled.

Adjourned.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR010303-01, dated 1/03/03, titled: Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State.

CR Description: WCom is requesting that Qwest modify its process(es) and system(s) to provide the option for CLECs to receive, and Qwest to transmit, DUF data in distinct files for UNE-P and for Resale, as well as distinct files for each state in Qwest’s region.

Therefore, if so requested by the CLEC, for each state where a CLEC had UNE-P and/or Resale DUF data, Qwest would provide a UNE-P DUF and/or a Resale DUF, and identify the associated state. Such that for a CLEC with UNE-P and Resale DUF data in all 14 states, Qwest would provide a total of 28 files (14 UNE-P files and 14 Resale files) each with a unique DSN. [NOTE: This functionality is requested to be made available in conjunction with Qwest’s current offering to provide UNE-P DUF data separated by ADUF (Cat. 11) and ODUF (Cat. 10) data.] Providing DUF data segmented by product type and state will benefit both Qwest and the CLEC by minimizing the size of each DUF and thereby reducing the risk associating with handling extremely large file sizes. Additionally, the separation of DUF data will ease the management of the data and troubleshooting issues.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Monday, January 13, 2003 with WorldCom and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR010303-01, Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit in relationship to the associated costs. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the LOE of this change would be 12,403 hours and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources. This request would require Qwest to distribute up to 42 individual DUF files per CLEC per day versus 6 files that are sent in today’s environment. This increase per CLEC would not result in a reasonable business benefit to warrant the expense of this change.

Currently, CLECs can readily determine the information requested in this CR through currently available DUF information. For example, on DUF files currently distributed to all CLECs, the EMI Indicator-4 field is populated on DUF detail records. All records that contain a value of "7" in this field are associated with UNE-P accounts. Conversely, all records that contain a value of "6" in this field are associated with Resale accounts.

This CR also requested that Qwest provide separate DUF files by state. Currently, Qwest "packs" records separately, within each DUF file, by RAO (Regional Accounting Office). These RAOs provide CLECs a reliable method of determining which state each record relates to. In addition, the EMI Billing Number/To Number/From Number fields provide ample information allowing CLECs to determine state ownership.

In light of the information currently available to CLECs through the Indicator-4 field and the RAO/Telephone Number fields, and no perceivable reasonable demonstrable business benefit for the associated costs, Qwest is denying your request for SCR010303-01, Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State.

Sincerely, Qwest
