Interconnection Forecasting. 3.1 Semi-annually Carrier will provide Frontier a one (1) year forecast for expected trunk utilization. Orders for trunks that exceed forecasted quantities for forecasted locations will be accommodated as facilities and/or equipment are available.
3.2 The forecasts will include the number, type and capacity of trunks as well as a description of major network projects anticipated for the following six months. Major network projects include trunking or network rearrangements, shifts in anticipated traffic patterns, or other activities that are reflected by a significant increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following forecast period.
3.3 If a trunk group is under 75 percent of centum call seconds capacity on a monthly average basis for each month of any six month period, either Party may issue an order to resize the trunk group, which will be left with not less than 25 percent excess capacity. The grade of service for all final facilities between Frontier’s central office and Carrier’s will be engineered to achieve P.01 grade of service.

6.8.4 If a trunk group is under 75 percent of centum call seconds (ccs) capacity on a monthly average basis for each month of any three month period, either Party may request to resize the trunk group, which resizing will not be unreasonably withheld. If a resizing occurs, the trunk group shall not be left with less than 25 percent excess capacity.
6.8.5 Each Party shall provide a specified point of contact for planning, forecasting and trunk servicing purposes.

Interconnection Forecasting. 7.3.1 Each Party will provide the other a two year forecast for expected trunk utilization. Orders for trunks that exceed forecasted quantities for forecasted locations will be accommodated as facilities and/or equipment are available. Each Party will provide forecast information to the other.
7.3.2 The forecasts will include the number, type and capacity of trunks as well as a description of major network projects anticipated for the following six months. Major network projects include trunking or network rearrangements, shifts in anticipated traffic patterns, or other activities that are reflected by a significant increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following forecast period.
7.3.3 If a trunk group is under 75 percent of centum call seconds capacity on a monthly average basis for each month of any six month period, either Party may issue an order to resize the trunk group, which will be left with no less than 25 percent excess capacity. The Grade of Service for all Facilities between Northeast’s Central Office and Aventure’s will be engineered to achieve P.01 Grade of Service.
7.3.4 All requests by Aventure to Northeast to establish, add, change, or disconnect trunks will be made using the industry standard Access Service Request (ASR).
