Functional Overview: This candidate allows multiple PIA values at both the order level and at the LSR level on an FOC Additionally it introduces new PIA values, removes or retires some existing values, and provides for multiple values of Other so each non-documented reason can be provided as a separate entry.

Forms: LR

Products: All

Activities: All

Meeting Discussion: Denise Martinez provided the overview based on the documentation published with the agenda.

There were no questions.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if for SCR062603-01 (Allow Multiple PIA Entries on LR Form), the field would not be retrofitted. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated correct, it would not.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was high on Qwest’s list of CR.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the CR Description and stated that the new PIA field will be introduced in the 13.0 Release and noted that the PIA field was previously called CFLAG. Connie stated that when Qwest FOCs, there can be multiple reasons why things were done and that is the reason for this CR, to make those reasons clearer. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked to confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if there are multiple reasons for changes to the LSR, you will see multiple fields. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when there are multiple reasons the REMARKS field would no longer be used. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR is in Pending Prioritization Status.

- Clarification - June 30, 2003 Review CR Description: There are times when there are multiple reasons for Provider Initiated Activity (PIA). Currently, the LR form only allows for one value. When there are multiple reasons, a PIA entry of 4 "Other" is required with a Remark entry. This requires manual intervention for Qwest to send an explanation and for the CLEC to interpret the explanation. This request allows for up to 3 values for the PIA field on the LR FOC that improves mechanization by clearly defining all PIA reasons and eliminates the needs for manual supporting remarks. Confirm Impacted Interface(s): IMA Common Confirm Product(s): All Confirmed Client Expectation(s): Revised system character length for PIA. Additional Clarification: None. Qwest understands this request. Action Plan: CR to be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

RE: SCR062603-01 Allow Multiple PIA Entries on LR Form

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR062603-01). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held June 30, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1250 to 2075 hours for this IMA Change Request, with no SATE impacts.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

This Change Request is an eligible candidate for the IMA 15.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest
