On June 24, 2004, Qwest Corporation filed an updated Exhibit B to the Statement of Generally Available Terms and Conditions, which is the Performance Indicator Definitions, and a revised Performance Assurance Plan (PAP) to reflect changes from the Long Term PID Administration discussions as well as request determination regarding the tier designation, volume-differentiated benchmark, and measurement stabilization period related to the revised PID, PO-20 (Expanded) Manual Service Order Entry. Qwest Corporation requests that the Commission approve the PAP, as revised and modified, designate a tier for PO-20, establish a low-volume differentiated benchmark for PO-20, and allow PO-20 a measurement stabilization for no more than three months with the implementation of each phase, meaning that Qwest will make any required payments for PO-20 on the prior phase, but under Exhibit B-1 for Phase 1 implementation, until the expiration of the measurement stabilization period. Qwest requests that the Commission permit the amended Exhibit B to go into effect no later than 60 days after submission in accordance with 47 U.S.C. Section 252(f)(3) and, further, upon determination of the issues outlined above and upon a compliance filing by Qwest removing Exhibit B-1, supersede Exhibit B-1. In the interim, Qwest will report on the expanded PO-20 contained in Exhibit B; Qwest will also report and make payments on the existing PO-20 contained in Exhibit B-1 until such time as the Commission determines the appropriate tier designation, measurement stabilization period and whether a low volume differentiated benchmark should apply. Further, Qwest requests that, pursuant to Section 16 of PAP, the changes shall automatically apply to all existing interconnection agreements that currently contain Exhibit B and the PAP, Exhibit K as exhibits.
