TELECOMMUNICATIONS
On June 15, 2007, Qwest Corporation (Qwest) filed to withdraw its Statement of Generally Available Terms and Conditions (SGAT) in South Dakota. "Qwest's SGAT has become outdated because applicable law has changed since Qwest last filed revisions to its SGAT. The Triennial Review Order, the TRRO, and abolition of the pick and choose requirement in favor of the all-or-nothing rule have made many SGAT terms incompatible with existing and controlling law. Further, the SGAT has not been used as the interconnection contract template for over two (2) years. In contrast to other provisions of the SGAT, Qwest's Performance Indicator Definitions (PIDs) included as Exhibit B to the SGAT and the Performance Assurance Plan (PAP) have been the subject of periodic review and updates pursuant to processes contained in the PAP. The purpose of these reviews has been to provide current performance indicator definitions to the Commissions for their application across all CLECs. Because this process thus far has been a successful method of applying current performance indicator definitions on a non-discriminatory basis, Qwest will continue to make PIDs and the PAP available to CLECs until such time as the PAP, found in Exhibit K of the SGAT, is withdrawn or otherwise eliminated."
