Use of Interconnection Facilities by Third Parties 6551 Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.9.9.1 Purpose of Interconnection Facilities. 6551
Participating TO’s Interconnection Facilities The Participating TO shall design, procure, construct, install, own and/or control the Participating TO’s Interconnection Facilities described in Appendix A at the sole expense of the Interconnection Customer. Unless the Participating TO elects to fund the capital for the Participating TO’s Interconnection Facilities, they shall be solely funded by the Interconnection Customer.
Decommissioning (a) The Contractor shall submit to the Designated Authority, for its approval, pursuant to sub-paragraph 4.11(d)(v), a Decommissioning Plan for the Development Area and a schedule of provisions for the Decommissioning Costs Reserve.
(b) The Decommissioning Plan shall be revised and resubmitted to the Designated Authority for its approval at such times as are reasonable having regard to the likelihood that the Decommissioning Plan (including cost estimates thereunder) may need to be revised.
(c) The Contractor shall carry out the Decommissioning Plan substantially in accordance with its terms.
(d) Estimates of the monies required for the funding of the Decommissioning Plan shall be charged as Recoverable Costs beginning in the Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which Commercial Production first occurs. The amount charged in each Calendar Year shall be calculated as follows:
(i) The total Decommissioning costs at the expected date of Decommissioning shall first be calculated.
(ii) There shall be deducted from such total Decommissioning costs the additions made to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve made, and taken as Recoverable Costs, in all previous Calendar Years together with interest on such Recoverable Costs calculated to the approved date of Decommissioning at the actual or forecast rate of Uplift (whichever is applicable).
(iii) The residual Decommissioning costs, resulting from the calculations under sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(i) and (ii), shall then be discounted to the Calendar Year in question at the forecast rate of Uplift for each Calendar Year remaining until the Calendar Year of Decommissioning.
(iv) The discounted total of residual Decommissioning costs shall then be divided by the total number of Calendar Years remaining prior to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning itself, including the Calendar Year in question.
(v) The resultant amount shall be the addition to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve for the Calendar Year in question.
(vi) It is the intention of this provision that the total accumulated provision allowed, including interest calculated to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning at the rate of Uplift, will equal the total Decommissioning costs.
(vii) If the amount in sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(v) is a negative amount, then such amount shall be treated as a reduction of Recoverable Costs for the Calendar Year in question.
Provisioning Line Splitting and Splitter Space 3.8.1 The Data LEC, Voice CLEC or BellSouth may provide the splitter. When Southern Telecom or its authorized agent owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non-designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location; a collocation cross connection connecting the Loop to the collocation space; a second collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port; the high frequency spectrum line activation, and a splitter. The Loop and port cannot be a Loop and port combination (i.e. UNE-P), but must be individual stand-alone Network Elements. When BellSouth owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location with CFA and splitter port assignments, and a collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port.
3.8.2 An unloaded 2-wire copper Loop must serve the End User. The meet point for the Voice CLEC and the Data LEC is the point of termination on the MDF for the Data LEC's cable and pairs.
3.8.3 The foregoing procedures are applicable to migration to Line Splitting Service from a UNE-P arrangement, BellSouth Retail Voice Service, BellSouth High Frequency Spectrum (CO Based) Line Sharing.
3.8.4 For other migration scenarios to line splitting, BellSouth will work cooperatively with CLECs to develop methods and procedures to develop a process whereby a Voice CLEC and a Data LEC may provide services over the same Loop.

Use of Facilities 34.1. In situations where the CLEC has the use of the facilities (i.e., local loop) to a specific customer premise, either through resale of local service or the lease of the local loop as an Unbundled Network Element, and Sprint receives a good faith request for service from a customer at the same premise or from another carrier with the appropriate customer authorization, the procedures below will apply.
34.1.1. Sprint will process such orders and provision services consistent with the terms contained in Section 82, of this Agreement.
34.1.2. Where CLEC is using a single facility to provide service to multiple end user customers, Sprint will not disconnect that facility as a result of the following procedures.
34.1.3. Sprint will follow methods prescribed by the FCC and any applicable state regulation for carrier change verification.
34.1.4. Customer with Existing Service Changing Local Service Provider
34.1.4.1. In situations where a CLEC submits an order for an end user customer that is changing local service providers for existing service, and is not adding service (i.e., an additional line), Sprint will process the service request without delay, and provide the losing local service provider a customer loss notification consistent with industry standards.
34.1.5. Customer with Existing Service Adding New Service
34.1.5.1. In situations where an order is submitted for an end user customer adding service to existing service (i.e., an additional line), the order should be marked as an additional line and CLEC’s facilities will not be affected.
34.1.6. Customer Requesting New Service where Previous Customer has Abandoned Service
34.1.6.1. In the case where an end user customer vacates premises without notifying the local service provider and a new end user customer moves into the vacated premises and orders new service from a local service provider neither Sprint nor the previous local service provider are aware that the original end user customer has abandoned the service in place.
34.1.6.2. When a carrier requests service at a location and marks the order as abandoned and CLEC is the previous local service provider, Sprint shall notify CLEC via fax that it has had a request for service at the premise location that is currently being served by CLEC;
34.1.6.3. If available to Sprint, Sprint shall include the name and address of the party receiving service at such locations, but at a minimum shall provide local service address location information;
34.1.7. If CLEC does not respond within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving Sprint’s notification or if CLEC responds relinquishing the facilities, Sprint shall be free to use the facilities in question and Sprint shall issue a disconnect order with respect to the CLEC service at that location. If CLEC responds stating that the service is working and should not be disconnected, Sprint will notify the carrier ordering service and request verification of the address and location or the submission of an order for an additional line.
