Common use of Underutilization Clause in Contracts

Underutilization. Underutilization of Interconnection Trunks and facilities exists when provisioned capacity of trunks in service for more than six (6) months is greater than the current need. This over-provisioning is an inefficient deployment and use of network resources and results in unnecessary costs. Those situations where more capacity exists than actual usage will be handled in the following manner: a. If a final trunk group is under seventy-five percent (75%) of CCS capacity or a high usage trunk group is under 90% of CCS capacity on a monthly average basis, for each month of any three (3) consecutive months period, either Party may request the issuance of an order to resize the trunk group, which shall be left with not less than twenty-five percent (25%) excess capacity. In all cases POI requirements and grade of service objectives shall be maintained. b. CLEC will send an ASR to CenturyLink to trigger changes to the Local Interconnection Trunk Groups based on capacity assessment.
