Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
Unbundled Digital Loops 2.3.1 BellSouth will offer Unbundled Digital Loops (UDL). UDLs are service specific, will be designed, will be provisioned with test points (where appropriate), and will come standard with OC and a DLR.

Buyer hereby grants to Seller suitable rlghts-0f-way and easements necessary or Incidental for the installatioo, maintenance, operation and removal of pipeline and other facilities together with rights ofingress thereto and egress there from at all times and hereby agrees to deliver to Seller, for the sum of one dollar ($1.00), an appropriate instrument or grant defining such rights and easements located on Buyer's planlslte. 4. Buyer may install, maintain and operate such check measuring equipment, Including arecording gravltometer and calorimeter as it shall desire, provided that such equipment shall be so installed so as not to Interfere with the operation of Seller's measuring equipment at or near the point of deliver. However, all xxxxxxxx to the Buyer shall be based on the metering of the Seller, subject only to the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Article. 5. Each party shall have the right to be present at the time of any installing, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, Inspecting, testing, calibrating, or adjusting done In connection with the other's measuring equlpme!lt used in measuring deliveries hereunder and each party shall advise the other of any Intended major maintenance operation sufficiently in advance in order that the other party may conveniently have its representative present. 6. All installatioo of measuring equipmenL applying to or effecting deliveries hereunder, shall be rnade in such manner as to perrnit an accurate detenninalion of the quantity of gas delivered and ready verification of the accuracy of measurement Orifice meter Installations, If used, shall oonforrn lo the recommendation for design and lnstallatioo contained in the Gas Measurement Commiltee Report No. 3 to the American Gas Association published April, 1955, and any modificatioos and amendments thereof and shall include the use of flange connections. 7. Measurement on Seller's meter or meters shall be conclusive of both parties except where the meter Is defective or fails to register, or if found in E)rror, in either of which case Seller shall repair or replace the meter and the quantity of gas delivered while the meter was out of order or failed to register shall be estimated: (a) By using the registration of any check meter If installed and accurately registering, or, In the absence of (a): (b) By correcting the error If the percentage of error by calibration, test or mathematical calculation, or, in the absence of both (a) and (b) then: (c) By estimating the quantity of delivery from deliveries during periods under similar oonditions when the meter was registering actUrately; and an appropriate billing adjusbnentshall be made In accordance with the current Rules and Regulations governing gas systems issued by the Commission. 8. Seller will maintain its meters in .good order and to this end Wiii make periodic tests of its meters pursuant to the current Rules and Regulations governing gas systems issued by the Commission, or at such shorter intervals as seem to Seller desirable. lfBuyer Is dissatisfied with the accuracy at eny time, it may call upon Seller to have Iha meter tested in accordance with all regulatioos relating to such tests and results of such tesls as found in the current Rules and Regulations governing gas systems issued by the Commission. 9.
