Common use of Enhanced Extended Clause in Contracts

Enhanced Extended. Loop (EEL) -- EEL is a combination of Loop and dedicated interoffice transport and may also include multiplexing or concentration capabilities. EEL transport and Loop facilities may utilize DS0 through OC-192 or other existing bandwidths. DS0, DS1 and DS3 bandwidths are defined products. In addition, other existing bandwidths can be ordered through the Special Request Process. Qwest has two EEL options: “EEL- Conversion” (EEL-C) and “EEL-Provision” (EEL-P). 9.23.3.7.1 Unless CLEC is specifically granted a waiver from the FCC which provides otherwise, and the terms and conditions of the FCC waiver apply to CLEC’s request for a particular EEL, CLEC cannot utilize combinations of Unbundled Network Elements that include Unbundled Loop and unbundled interoffice dedicated transport to create a UNE Combination unless CLEC establishes to Qwest that it is using the combination of Network Elements to provide a significant amount of local exchange traffic to a particular End User Customer. The significant amount of local use requirement does not apply to combinations of Loop and multiplexing when the high side of the multiplexer is connected via an ITP for CLEC’s Collocation. 9.23.3.7.2 To establish that an EEL is carrying a “Significant Amount of Local Exchange Traffic,” one of the following three (3) local service options must exist: 9.23.3.7.2.1 Option 1: CLEC must certify to Qwest that it is the exclusive provider of an End User Customer’s Local Exchange Service and that the Loop transport combination originates at a customer’s premises and that it terminates at CLEC’s Collocation arrangement in at least one Qwest Central Office. This condition, or option, does not allow Loop-transport combinations to be connected to Qwest’s Tariffed services. 9.23.3.7.2.2 Option 2: CLEC must certify that it provides local exchange and Exchange Access service to the End User Customer’s premises and handles at least one-third (1/3) of the End User Customer’s local traffic measured as a percent of total End User Customer local dial tone lines; and for DS1 level circuits and above, at least fifty percent (50%) of the activated channels on the Loop portion of the Loop and transport combination have at least five percent (5%) local voice traffic individually; and the entire Loop facility has at least ten percent (10%) local voice traffic; and the Loop/transport combination originates at a Customer’s premises and terminates at CLEC’s Collocation arrangement in at least one Qwest Central Office; and if a Loop/transport combination includes multiplexing, each of the multiplexed facilities must meet the above criteria outlined in this paragraph. (For example, if DS1 Loops are multiplexed onto DS3 transport, each of the individual DS1 facilities must meet the criteria outlined in this paragraph in order for the DS1/DS3 Loop/transport combination to qualify for UNE treatment). This condition, or option, does not allow Loop-transport combinations to be connected to Qwest’s Tariffed services. 9.23.3.7.2.3 Option 3: CLEC must certify that at least fifty percent (50%) of the activated channels on a circuit are used to provide originating and terminating local dial tone service and at least fifty percent (50%) of the traffic on each of these local dial tone channels is local voice traffic; and the entire Loop facility has at least thirty-three percent (33%) local voice traffic; and if a Loop/transport combination includes multiplexing, each of the multiplexed facilities must meet the above criteria. For example, if DS1 Loops are multiplexed onto DS3 transport, each of the individual DS1 facilities must meet the criteria as outlined in this paragraph in order for the DS1/DS3 Loop/transport combination to qualify for UNE treatment. This condition, or option, does not allow Loop-transport combinations to be connected to Qwest’s Tariffed services. Under this option, Collocation is not required. Under this option, CLEC does not need to provide a defined portion of the End User Customer’s local service, but the active channels on any Loop-transport combinations, and the entire facility, must carry the amount of local exchange traffic specified in this option.
