Western CRIS will now provide the NRC USOC along with the NRC USOC description and Dollar Amount in the Service Order Activity section of the bill for all RSID and ZCID accounts. This will be displayed on the CRIS bill and the appropriate BOS record. The NRC USOC will appear on all bill media including EDI and ASCII. Multiple NRC USOCs are not to be bulked.

Comment Response: Qwest did not receive any comments during the review cycle.

July 9, 2004 Email Received from John Berard: Peggy, We are still reviewing this internally. I should have an answer for you next week. John Berard Director - Operations - ILEC Change Mgt

-- July 9, 2004 Email Sent from Qwest to John Berard: John, Did you decide against the manual process?

-- June 24, 2004 Email Sent to John Berard at Covad: Good Afternoon John, Have you made a decision regarding the manual process request? Please see information below. This is the email that I handed you in the June 17th Systems CMP Meeting, for your review. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- June 17, 2004: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest gave copy of the email that was sent on May 26th to John Berard. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Covad if, based on the information in the email, if he still had a need for the requested interim manual process. John Berard/Covad stated that he would review the email and get a response back to me.

June 8, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John, Any response to the email below?

Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

May 26, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John,

We met internally to discuss how the manual process might look like in preparation with our meeting with you. I was asked to provide you with some information and to request some information, prior to our call (not yet scheduled).

Comments:

- The FOC that Qwest provides currently contains the service order information/USOCs. The FOC can be used for validation. - Additional service order details can be obtained from the PSON. PSONs do need to be subscribed to via a call to the Help Desk. The PSON includes information form the Listing, Bill, Control, Traffic, and Service & Equipment Sections of the Service Order. - The bill that you currently receive does have the dollar amount, from the service order, so validation can currently occur. - The targeted implementation date for this CR is December 4, 2004. - In our internal discussions, we have so far been unable to determine how a manual process could be implemented for this CR. Our initial internal discussions have determined that if a manual process can be developed, it would be a very large effort that would require a large amount of time to develop and implement. This CR would most likely be implemented before any manual process could be developed and implemented. Questions:

- This Change Request is specifically for the 10-30-20 and 10-30-21 files. Does Covad receive and use these record types? - Will you please advise me of what your specific business need is for the manual process. This will help in our researching if a manual process could be developed prior to this CR being implemented. - Based on the information that I have provided above, does Covad still want to pursue a manual process? If this is something that you would still like to pursue, please let me know what your specific business need is. We can then take another look at any possible solution for a manual process and schedule a call with you to discuss. Thanks John, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that PC051403-2 is related to this CR but that it is a different request. Lynn noted that the Product/Process CR is asking for zone information, which will require systems work, so she would like the Product/Process CR to be crossed over to Systems. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the resolution of the trouble ticket for Better OCC Invoices might take care of these CRs. Connie stated there would be a read-out at the September Systems CMP Meeting. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the CRs description talks about CABS BOS and asked if it would also update Billmate.
