Bona Fide Request (BFR). 2.31.1 AT&T, Bona Fide Request Process
2.31.1.1 A Bona Fide Request (“BFR”) is the process by which CLEC may request AT&T to provide CLEC access to an additional or new, undefined UNEs, combinations or commingling (a “Request”), that is required to be provided by AT&T under the Act but is not available under this Agreement or defined in a generic appendix at the time of CLEC’s request. CLEC may request a single BFR for development of a single new UNE within AT&T.
2.31.1.2 The BFR process set forth herein does not apply to those services requested pursuant to Report & Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 91-141 (rel. Oct. 19, 1992) paragraph 259 and n. 603 and subsequent rulings.
2.31.1.3 All BFRs must be submitted with a BFR Application Form in accordance with the specifications and processes set forth in the sections of the CLEC Handbook. Included with the Application CLEC shall provide a technical description of each requested UNE, combination of UNEs, or Commingling of UNEs, drawings when applicable, the location(s) where needed, the date required, and the projected quantity to be ordered with a 3 year forecast.
2.31.1.4 CLEC is responsible for all costs incurred by AT&T to review, analyze and process a BFR. When submitting a BFR Application Form, CLEC has two options to compensate AT&T for its cost incurred to complete the Preliminary Analysis of the BFR:
2.31.1.4.1 Include with its BFR Application Form a deposit to cover AT&T’s preliminary evaluation costs, in which case AT&T may not charge CLEC in excess of the deposit to complete the Preliminary Analysis; or
2.31.1.4.2 Not make the deposit, in which case CLEC shall be responsible for reasonable and demonstrable preliminary evaluation costs incurred by AT&T to complete the preliminary Analysis (regardless of whether such costs are greater or less than the deposit).
2.31.1.5 The amount of the deposit under Section 2.31.1.4.1 shall be determined through a method and shall not exceed an amount agreed to by the parties or determined in a cost proceeding.
2.31.1.5.1 If CLEC submits a deposit with its BFR, and AT&T is not able to process the Request or determines that the Request does not qualify for BFR treatment, then AT&T will return the deposit to CLEC. Similarly, if the costs incurred to complete the Preliminary Analysis are less than the deposit, the balance of the deposit will, at the option of CLEC, either be refunded or credited toward additional developmental costs authorized by CLEC.
