Addressing Climate Change. Massachusetts will continue to experience a range of impacts from climate change including increases in air and water temperature, changes to precipitation patterns, sea level rise (SLR), more intense weather events and flooding, and seasonal shifts. The impacts of climate change are already affecting the lives and livelihoods of our residents and visitors, degrading ambient and indoor air quality, threatening public health, and damaging infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems. As a result, there is broad consensus of the need to holistically address mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions to limit the magnitude and rate of climate change while also adapting to those impacts that are unavoidable. This approach should be integrated across all programs and media to the greatest extent possible. Massachusetts and EPA share a common goal to tackle the climate crisis. Continuous coordination and communication can enhance and complement each agencies’ efforts. Meetings such as the New England State Climate Coordinator calls allow for peer-to-peer learning and discussion of barriers and lessons learned, as well as present new opportunities for interstate collaboration. EPA and Massachusetts shall continue this dialogue and evaluate the need for additional options. Continued communication between Massachusetts and EPA to share successes and lessons learned regarding climate resilient actions and GHG reductions; Collaboration within agencies in Massachusetts and across different states to consider how climate change may affect their work and any adaptive measures that may be taken to mitigate those vulnerabilities; Collaboration within MassDEP programs to ensure that the agency’s outreach and education activities, loan and grant programs, rules and regulations, and public policy positions account for changing climatic and environmental conditions as well as minimize GHG emissions; and Continued education and engagement with communities—especially those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change—to help respond to changing environmental conditions. Priority actions planned by XxxxXXX are described in Section II (1) of this Agreement. Massachusetts will participate in quarterly New England State Climate Coordinator calls and similar meetings to increase collaboration and communication on priorities and implementation strategies among state agencies and EPA.

To support development of CPRG plans, EPA organized Technical Assistance Forums to facilitate dialogue among grant recipients, including RIDEM. The CPRG planning program encourages robust stakeholder engagement and interagency coordination. RIDEM, with the support of EPA-provided tools, training, and technical assistance, will continue to engage their partners to inform the development of the emissions mitigation plan and the and mitigation measures outlined in the Priority Climate Action Plan required under the CPRG planning program.

This may include the removal of any device, from a copper Loop or copper Subloop that may diminish the capability of the Loop or Subloop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service.

This modification will be performed at no additional charge to NewPhone. Loop conditioning orders that require the removal of bridged tap that serves no network design purpose on a copper Loop that will result in a combined total of bridged tap between two thousand five hundred (2,500) and six thousand (6,000) feet will be performed at the rates set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.4 NewPhone may request removal of any unnecessary and non-excessive bridged tap (bridged tap between zero (0) and two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet which serves no network design purpose), at rates pursuant to BellSouth’s SC Process as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 2.5.5 Rates for ULM are as set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.6 BellSouth will not modify a Loop in such a way that it no longer meets the technical parameters of the original Loop type (e.g., voice grade, ADSL, etc.) being ordered. 2.5.7 If NewPhone requests ULM on a reserved facility for a new Loop order, BellSouth may perform a pair change and provision a different Loop facility in lieu of the reserved facility with ULM if feasible. The Loop provisioned will meet or exceed specifications of the requested Loop facility as modified. NewPhone will not be charged for ULM if a different Loop is provisioned. For Loops that require a DLR or its equivalent, BellSouth will provide LMU detail of the Loop provisioned. 2.5.8 NewPhone shall request Loop make up information pursuant to this Attachment prior to submitting a service inquiry and/or a LSR for the Loop type that NewPhone desires BellSouth to condition. 2.5.9 When requesting ULM for a Loop that BellSouth has previously provisioned for NewPhone, NewPhone will submit a SI to BellSouth. If a spare Loop facility that meets the Loop modification specifications requested by NewPhone is available at the location for which the ULM was requested, NewPhone will have the option to change the Loop facility to the qualifying spare facility rather than to provide ULM. In the event that BellSouth changes the Loop facility in lieu of providing ULM, NewPhone will not be charged for ULM but will only be charged the service order charges for submitting an order.
