3. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND INTERCONNECTION ACTIVATION
DATES
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Interconnection of the
Parties' facilities and equipment pursuant to Sections 4, 5, and 6 for the
transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service Traffic and Exchange
Access Traffic shall be established on or before the corresponding
"Interconnection Activation Date" shown for each Exchange Area on Appendix DCO
attached hereto and incorporated by reference. Appendix DCO may be revised and
supplemented from time to time upon the mutual agreement of the Parties to
reflect the Interconnection of additional Exchange Areas pursuant to Section 4.6
by modifying or upd. ating Appendix DCO.
4. INTERCONNECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 251(c)(2)(A),(B),(C); 47 CFR
51.305(a)(1)
4.1 Scope
This Section describes the physical architecture for Interconnection of
the Parties' facilities and equipment for the transmission and routing
of Telephone Exchange Service traffic and Switched Access traffic
pursuant to Section 251(c)(2) of the Act. Such Interconnections shall
be equal in quality to that provided by the Parties to themselves or to
any subsidiary, affiliate or Third Party. Appendix ITR attached hereto
and incorporated by reference prescribes the specific trunk groups (and
traffic routing parameters) which will be configured over the physical
connections described in this Section 4 to provide the facilities for
the transmission and routing of Telephone Exchange Service traffic (as
described in Section 5), Switched Access traffic (as described in
Section 6) and BLV/BLV/I traffic (as described in Section 7.2).
4.2 Interconnection Coverage Section 251(c)(2)(B) and (C). 47 CFR Section
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
51.305(a)(2)
The Parties will establish Local Interconnection Trunks to exchange Local and
IntraLATA Toll traffic. All Local Interconnection Trunk Groups established
directly with the other Party's network, including facilities and Points of
Interconnection ("POIs"), will conform with this Section of this Agreement. All
traffic exchanged over Local Interconnection Trunk Groups will be treated as
CLEC traffic and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Neither
Party shall terminate Switched Access traffic over Local Interconnection Trunks.
Separate two-way Meet Point trunks will be established for the joint
provisioning of Switched Access traffic. Local Interconnection will be provided
via two-way Xxxxx unless both Parties agree to implement one-way trunks on a
case-by-case basis.
4.2. 1. CLEC shall interconnect with NEVADA's facilities as follows:
(a) Each Party will establish a Local Interconnection Trunk Group with
each Access Tandem in the LATA(s) in which it originates or terminates
Local and/or Toll traffic with the other Party. Parties may not route
Local Interconnection traffic to an Access Tandem destined for an NXX
that subtends another tandem. The Parties agree that direct trunking to
an End Office from either Party's End Office or Access Tandem is
permitted under the terms of this section.
CLEC will interconnect with any NEVADA Access Tandems in each of the LATA(s) in
which it originates traffic and interconnects with NEVADA.
(b) In addition to the tandem interconnection described above, either
Party may establish End Office-to-End Office or End Office-to-tandem or
tandem-to-tandem trunk groups. In the case of host remote End Offices,
such interconnection shall occur at the location of the host or remote,
at the option of the Party deploying the host-remote End Office.
4.2.2. NEVADA shall interconnect with CLEC's facilities under terms and
conditions no less favorable than those identified in Section 4.2. 1,
above.
4.3 Methods for Interconnection
Where the Parties interconnect, for the purpose of exchanging traffic between
networks, the Parties may use the following interconnection methods for each
Tandem and End Office identified in Appendix DCO making use of facilities they
own or lease from a third party or NEVADA:
(a) Physical Collocation
As set forth in Appendix PHYSICAL COLLOCATION.
(b) Virtual Collocation
As set forth in Appendix NIM.
(c) Leased Facility Interconnection ("LFI")
---------------------------------------------
Where facilities exist, either Party may lease facilities from the
other Party as defined in Section 6 of Appendix NIM.
(d) Fiber Meet
The Parties agree to establish technical interface specifications for
Fiber Meet arrangements that permit the successful interconnection and
completion of traffic routed over the facilities that interconnect at
the Fiber Meet. The technical specifications will be designed so that
each Party may, as far as is technically feasible, independently select
the transmission, multiplexing, and fiber terminating equipment to be
used on its side of the Fiber Meet.
(e) Other Interconnection Methods
Other interconnection methods, as negotiated by the Parties, which
interconnect CLEC's and NEVADA's networks for the transmission and
routing of telephone exchange traffic, Switched Access traffic, or both; at any
technically feasible point within NEVADA's network including:
the line-side of a local switch;
(ii) the trunk-side of a local switch;
(iii) the trunk interconnection points for a tandem switch;
(iv) central office cross-connect points;
(v) out-of-band signaling transfer points necessary to exchange traffic
at these points and access call related databases; and
(vi) the points of access to unbundled Network Elements;
shall be at a level of quality that is equal to that which
NEVADA provides itself, a subsidiary, an affiliate, or any
other party.
4.4 Physical Architecture
Using one or more of the Interconnection Methods described in Section 4.3 above,
the Parties will agree on a physical architecture plan. This plan will be
documented within Appendix DCO. CLEC and NEVADA agree to interconnect their
networks through existing and/or new facilities between CLEC End Offices and/or
Access Tandem Switches and the corresponding NEVADA End Office and/or Access
Tandems set forth in Appendix DCO. The Parties will establish logical trunk
groups referencing the appropriate CLEC Central Office or Routing Point and
NEVADA Central Office. In addition, where necessary, and as mutually agreed to,
the Parties will define facilities between their networks to permit trunk
group(s) to be established between the points listed in Appendix DCO.
Nothing in the foregoing restricts either Party from ordering and establishing
CLEC/NEVADA Local Interconnection Trunk Groups in addition to the initial
combinations described above. Amendment to the Appendix DCO may be made by
either Party, upon thirty (30) days written notice and acceptance by the other
Party. Acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld. Such amendments may be made
without the need to renegotiate the terms of the rest of this Agreement;
however, such amendments will be effective upon filing with and approval by the
Commission.
4.4.1 The Parties will mutually agree on the appropriate sizing for
facilities based on the standards set forth below and in Appendix NIM.
The
capacity of interconnection facilities provided by each Party will be based on
mutual forecasts and sound engineering practice, as mutually agreed to by the
Parties during planning and forecasting meetings. The interconnection facilities
provided by each Party shall be formatted using either Alternate Xxxx Inversion
Line Code or Superframe Format Framing. DS-3 facilities will be optioned for
C-bit Parity.
4.4.1.1 When interconnecting at NEVADA's tandems, the Parties agree to
optionally establish Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution Extended Super
Frame ("B8ZS ESF") two-way trunks, where technically feasible, for
the sole purpose of transmitting 64K CCC data calls. In no case will
these trunks be used for calls for which the User Service
Information parameter (also referred to as "Bearer Capability") is
set for "speech". Where additional equipment is required, such
equipment would be obtained, engineered, and installed on the same
basis and with the same intervals as any similar growth job for
IXC's, CLEC's, or NEVADA's internal customer demand for 64K CCC
trunks.
4.4.1.2 When interconnecting at NEVADA's digital End Offices, the
Parties have a preference for use of B8ZS ESF two-way trunks
for all traffic between their networks. Where available,
such trunk equipment will be used for these Local
Interconnection Trunk Groups. Where AMI trunks are used,
either Party may request upgrade to B8ZS ESF when such
equipment is available.
4.4.2 Mid-Point Meet
Using the Mid-Point Meet architecture, the Parties will agree
upon a Point of Interconnection ("POI"). The POI functions as
a demarcation point for each Party. Each Party is responsible
to transport all trunking to its side of the POI utilizing any
method of interconnection described in Section 4.3 above. Each
Party is responsible for the appropriate sizing, operation,
and maintenance of the transport facility and trunking to the
POI.
4.5 Single POI Model
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, for each interconnection between the
Parties for the exchange of Local, IntraLATA Toll, and Meet Point traffic, the
Parties agree that there will be a single Point of Interconnection (at NEVADA's
or another carrier's wire center located in the geographic area where NEVADA
operates as an independent LEC) between any two switching entities.
4.6 Additional Interconnection
If CLEC decides to offer Telephone Exchange Services in any LATA in which NEVADA
also offers Telephone Exchange Services, CLEC shall provide written notice to
NEVADA of the need to establish Interconnection in such LATA pursuant to Section
4.4 of this Agreement.
4.7 Responsibilities of the Parties
4.7.1 CLEC and NEVADA shall work cooperatively to install and maintain a
reliable network. CLEC and NEVADA shall exchange appropriate
information (e.g., maintenance contact numbers, network information,
information required to comply with law enforcement and other security
agencies of the Government and such other information as the Parties
shall mutually agree) to achieve this desired reliability.
4.7.2 CLEC and NEVADA agree to exchange such reports and/or data as provided
in this Agreement to facilitate the proper billing of traffic. Either
Party may request an audit of such usage reports on no fewer than ten
(10) business days written notice and any audit shall be accomplished
during normal business hours at the office of the Party being audited
which shall be Stockton, California for CLEC and Reno, Nevada for
NEVADA). Such audit must be performed by a mutually agreed-to
independent auditor paid for by the Party requesting the audit and may
include review of the data described above. Such audits shall be
requested within six (6) months of having received the PLU factor and
usage reports from the other Party, and may not be requested more than
twice per year.
4.7.3 CLEC and NEVADA will review engineering requirements on a semi-annual
basis and establish forecasts for trunk and facilities utilization
provided under this Agreement. New wank groups will be implemented as
dictated by engineering requirements of either NEVADA or CLEC.
4.7.4 CLEC and NEVADA shall share responsibility for all Control Office
functions for Local Interconnection Trunks and Trunk Groups, and both
Parties shall share the overall coordination, installation, and
maintenance responsibilities for these trunks, and trunk groups.
4.7.5 CLEC is responsible for all Control Office functions for the Meet Point
Trunks and Trunk Groups, and shall be responsible for the overall
coordination, installation, and maintenance responsibilities for these
trunks and trunk groups.
4.7.6 CLEC and NEVADA shall:
(a) provide trained personnel with adequate and compatible test
- equipment to work with each other's technicians;

facility or its portion of the interconnection trunks prior to referring
the trouble to each other;
(e) advise each other's Control Office if there is an equipment failure
that may affect the interconnection trunks;
(f) provide each other with a trouble reporting number that is readily
accessible and available 24 hours per day/7 days a week;
(g) provide to each other test-line numbers and access to test lines,
including a test-line number that returns answer supervision in
each NPA-NXX opened by a Party;
(h) provide their respective billing contact numbers to one another on a
reciprocal basis; and
(i) will conduct cooperative testing for the proper recording of AMA
records in each carrier switch(es) before establishing service.
4.7.7 Within ninety (90) days of the due date of the initial installation of
local interconnection trunks, CLEC will provide to NEVADA CLEC's
references or internal standards governing each topic in Appendix
BILATERAL.
5. TRANSMISSION AND ROUTING OF TELEPHONE EXCHANGE SERVICE
TRAFFIC PURSUANT TO SECTION 251(c)(2)(D); 252(d)(1) and (2); 47 CFR

51.305(al(5)
5.1 Scope of Traffic
This Section 5 prescribes traffic routing parameters for Local Interconnection
Trunk Group(s) the Parties shall establish over the Interconnections specified
in Section 4.
5.1.1 Either Party may opt at any time to terminate, i.e., overflow, to the
other Party some or all Local Exchange Traffic and intraLATA Toll
traffic originating on its network, together with Switched Access
traffic, via Feature Group D or Feature Group B Switched Access
Services. Either Party may otherwise purchase these Switched Access
Services from the other Party subject to the rates, terms and
conditions specified in its standard intrastate access tariffs,
including any usage-sensitive rates for the Local Exchange or intraLATA
Toll traffic terminated over the Switched Access service.
5.1.2 Each Party shall deliver to the other Party over the Local
Interconnection Trunk Group(s) only such traffic which is destined for
those publicly dialable NPA-NXX codes served by End Offices that
directly subtend the Access Tandem or to those Wireless Service
Providers that directly subtend the Access Tandem.
5.1.3 Unless otherwise agreed to, each Party shall deliver all traffic
destined to terminate at either Party's End Office or tandem in
accordance with the serving arrangements defined in the LERG.
5.1.4 Where the Parties deliver over the Local Interconnection Trunk Group(s)
miscellaneous calls (e.g., time, weather, NPA-555, Mass Calling Codes)
destined for each other, they shall deliver such traffic in accordance
with the serving arrangements defined in the LERG.
5.1.5 N1 1 codes (e.g., 611, 811, & 911) shall not be sent between CLEC's and
NEVADA's network over the Local Interconnection Trunk Group(s).
5.1.6 For purposes of compensation under this Agreement, the
telecommunications traffic traded between CLEC and NEVADA will be
classified as either Local Traffic, Transit Traffic, IntraLATA
Interexchange Traffic, interLATA Interexchange Traffic, or FGA Traffic.
The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the classification of traffic
under
this Agreement, either Party is free to define its own "local" calling
area(s) for purposes of its provision of Telecommunications Services to
its End Users.
5.1.7 Reciprocal compensation should be paid by Nevada Xxxx to Pac-West for
traffic originated by a Nevada Xxxx customer and terminated to any
customer, including an Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), obtaining
local access from Pac-West when those customers are located within the
same Nevada Xxxx local calling area. Similarly, reciprocal compensation
should be paid by Pac-West to Nevada Xxxx for traffic originated by a
Pac-West customer and terminated to any customer, including an ISP,
obtaining local access from Nevada Xxxx when those customers are
located within the same Nevada Xxxx local calling area. [NPUC Docket
No. 99-1007, Order Adopting Revised Arbitration Decision, April 12,
1999]
5.1.8 Calls originated by one Party's End User and terminated to the other
Party's End User will be classified as "Local Traffic" for purposes of
intercompany compensation, if;
(a) the call originates and terminates in the same NEVADA exchange
area; or
(b) originates and terminates within different NEVADA Exchanges
that share a common local calling area, e.g., Extended Area Dialing
("EAD").
5.1.9 NEVADA shall deliver all traffic destined to terminate at CLEC's End
Office in accordance with the serving arrangements defined in the LERG,
except NEVADA will not deliver calls destined to CLEC End Office(s) via
another LEC's or CLECs tandem.
5.1.10 NEVADA shall terminate traffic from third-party LECs, CLECs, or
Wireless Service Providers delivered to NEVADA's network through CLEC's
tandem. Prior to the routing of such traffic, the Parties agree to
negotiate the issues of network capacity and forecasting caused by such
termination. The Parties shall conduct such negotiations in good faith
and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the routing of such
traffic.
5.1.11 NEVADA shall complete traffic delivered from CLEC destined to
thirdparty LECs, CLECs or WSPs in the LATA, when these third parties
subtend NEVADA's tandem(s). NEVADA shall have no responsibility to
ensure that any third-party LEC, CLEC or WSP will accept such traffic.
5.2 Responsibilities of the Parties
5.2.1 Each Party to this Agreement will be responsible for the accuracy and
quality of its data as submitted to the respective Parties involved.
5.2.2 Each Party will include in the information transmitted to the other for
each call being terminated on the other's network, where available, the
originating Calling Party Number ("CPN").
5.2.3 If the percentage of calls passed with CPN is greater than ninety
percent (90%), all calls exchanged without CPN information will be
billed as either Local Traffic or IntraLATA Toll Traffic in direct
proportion to the minutes of use ("MOU") of calls exchanged with CPN
information. If the percentage of calls passed with CPN is less than
ninety percent (90%), all calls passed without CPN will be billed as
Switched Access.
5.2.4 For intraLATA Toll Free Service calls where such service is provided by
one of the Parties, the compensation shall be charged by the Party
originating the call, rather than the Party terminating the call. This
includes originating charges as well as a Basic Toll Free Access Query
charge as specified in Appendix PRICING or CLECs local exchange tariff.
5.2.5 Each Party will calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use
based on standard Automatic Message Accounting ("AMA") recordings made
within each Party's network. These recordings are the basis for each
Party to generate bills to the other Party.
5.2.6 Measurement of minutes of use over Local Interconnection Trunk Groups
shall be in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds
over each individual Local Interconnection Trunk Group will be totaled
for the entire monthly xxxx and then rounded to the next whole minute.
5.2.7 Each Party will provide the other, within thirty (30) calendar days
after the end of each calendar quarter, a usage report with the
following information regarding traffic: it sent to (i.e., terminated
over) the Local Interconnection Trunk arrangements.
5.2.7.1 Total traffic volume described in terms of minutes and messages and
by call type (local, toll and other) terminated to each other over
the Local Interconnection Trunk Groups; and
5.2.7.2 Percent Local Usage ("PLU") and Percent Local Minutes.

MOUs including identification of the originating and
terminating NXXs for all intercompany calls.
Each Party will transmit the summarized originating MOUs above to the transiting
and/or terminating Party for subsequent monthly intercompany settlement billing.
5.2.8.3 Bills rendered by either Party will be paid within thirty (30)
days of receipt subject to subsequent audit verification.
5.2.8.4 MOUs for the rates contained herein will be
measured in seconds by call type, and accumulated
each billing period into one (1) minute increments
for billing purposes in accordance with industry
rounding standards.
5.2.8.5 Each Party will multiply the tandem routed and end
office routed terminating MOUs by the appropriate
rate contained in this Section to determine the
total monthly billing to each Party.
5.3 Reciprocal Compensation for Termination of Local Traffic
5.3.1 The Compensation set forth below will apply to all Local Traffic as
defined in Section 5.1.8 of this Agreement.
5.3.2 Applicability of Rates
5.3.2.1 The rates, terms, conditions in this Section 5.3 apply only to the
termination of Local Traffic, except as explicitly noted.
5.3.2.2 The Parties agree to compensate each other for the termination of Local
Traffic on a minute of use ("MOU') basis.
5.3.3 Rate Elements
5.3.3.1 A Tandem Served rate element is applicable to Tandem Routed Local
Traffic on a terminating local MOU basis and includes compensation
for the following sub-elements:
(a) Tandem Switching - compensation for the use of tandem
switching functions.
(b) Tandem Transport ("Common Transport") compensation for
the transmission facilities between the local tandem
and the End Offices subtending that tandem.
(c) End Office Switching ("Basic Switching Interoffice
Terminating") - compensation for the local EO office
switching and line termination functions necessary to
complete the transmission.
5.3.3.2 An End Office Served rate element applies ("Basic
Switching Interoffice Terminating") to
direct-routed Local Traffic on a terminating local
MOU basis and includes compensation for End Office
Switching. This includes direct-routed Local
Traffic that terminates to offices that have
combined tandem and End Office functions.
5.3.4 Local Traffic Interconnection Rates
Serving Method Rates
Tandem Served See Appendix PRICING
End Office Served See Appendix PRICING
5.4 Reciprocal Compensation for Transit Traffic
5.4.1 Transit Traffic allows one Party to send traffic to a third
party network through the other Party's tandem. A Transit
Traffic rate element applies to all MOUs between a Party and
third party networks that transit the other Party's tandem
switch. The originating Party is responsible for the
appropriate rates unless otherwise specified. The Transit
Traffic rate element is only applicable when calls do not
originate with (or terminate to) the transit Party's End User.
The Tandem Transit Switching rate shall be equal to the Tandem
Switching rate plus two times the Common Transport Fixed rate
element as specified in Appendix PRICING.
or Access Tandem switching when either Party 5.4.2 The transit
rate provides f uses the other Party's Access Tandem to
originate a call to a third party such as another LEC, CLEC,
or Wireless Service Provider.
5.4.3 If either Party receives a call through the other Party's Access Tandem
that originates from another LEC, CLEC or Wireless Service Provider,
the Party receiving the transited call will not charge the other Party
any rate element for this call regardless of whether the call is local
or toll. The Parties will establish appropriate billing relationships
directly with the Wireless Service Provider, other CLEC or LEC with the
exception of the independent LECs listed in Section 21.11 of this
Agreement.
5.4.4 If such traffic is passed without a third party agreement, CLEC will
hold NEVADA harmless/indenmify/defend or impose a penalty so that
NEVADA has protection against third party claims including recovery of
attorney fees.
5.5 Reciprocal Compensation for Termination of IntraLATA
Interexchange Traffic
For intrastate intraLATA interexchange service traffic, compensation for
termination of intercompany traffic will be at terminating access rates for
Message Telephone Service ("MTS") and originating access rates for 800 Service
as set forth in each Party's Intrastate Access Service Tariff. For interstate
intraLATA intercompany service traffic, compensation for termination of
intercompany traffic will be at terminating access rates for MTS and originating
access rates for 800 Service including the CCL charge, as set forth in each
Party's Interstate Access Service Tariff. The rates charged under this section
by CLEC to NEVADA shall be no greater than the rates contained in NEVADA's
Switched Access tariff.
5.6 Compensation for Origination and Termination of Switched Access Service
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traffic to or from an IXC (Meet-Point Billing ("MPB") Arrangements)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.6.1 The Parties will establish MPB arrangements in order to provide
Switched Access Services to IXCs via NEVADA's Access Tandem switch in
accordance with the MPB guidelines adopted by and contained in the
Ordering and Billing Forum's MECOD and MECAB; documents. CLEC's Meet
Points with NEVADA shall be those identified in Appendix DCO and any
supplements thereto.
5.6.2 For interstate, interLATA traffic, the Parties will charge IXCs
according to access rates as set forth in each Party's own applicable
tariffs.
5.6.3 Billing to IXCs for the Switched Access Services jointly provided by
the Parties via Meet-Point Billing arrangement shall be according to
the multiple xxxx/single tariff method. As described in the MECAB
document, each Party will render a xxxx in accordance with its own
tariff for that portion of the service it provides. For the purpose of
this Agreement, CLEC is the Initial Billing Company ("IBC") and NEVADA
is the
Subsequent Billing Company ("SBC"). The assignment of revenues, by rate element,
and the Meet-Point Billing percentages applicable to this Agreement are set
forth in Appendix DCO. The actual rate values for each element shall be the
rates contained in that Party's own applicable access tariffs.
5.6.4 The Parties will maintain provisions in their respective federal and
state access tariffs, or provisions within the National Exchange
Carrier Association ("NECA") Tariff No. 4, or any successor tariff,
sufficient to reflect this MPB arrangement, including MIPB percentages.
5.6.5 As detailed in the MECAB document, the Parties will, in accordance with
accepted time intervals, exchange all information necessary to
accurately, reliably, and promptly xxxx third Parties for Switched
Access Services traffic jointly handled by the Parties via the Meet
Point Arrangement. Each Party reserves the right to charge the other
Party for the recording/processing functions it performs. Information
shall be exchanged in Exchange Message Record ("EMR") format, on
magnetic tape or via a mutually acceptable electronic file transfer
protocol.
5.6.6 Meet-Point Billing shall also apply to all jointly provided MOU traffic
bearing the 900, 800, and 888 NPAs or any other non-geographic NPAs
which may likewise be designated for such traffic in the future where
the responsible party is an IXC. When NEVADA performs 800 database
queries, NEVADA will charge the service provider for the database query
in accordance with standard industry practices and applicable tariffs.
5.6.7 Each Party shall coordinate and exchange the billing account reference
("BAR") and billing account cross reference ("BACR") numbers for the
Meet Point Billing service. Each Party shall notify the other if the
level of billing or other BAR/BACR elements change, resulting in a new
BAR/BACR number.
5.6.8 Each Party will provide the other with the Switched Access detailed
usage data within thirty (30) days of the end of the billing period.
Each Party will provide to the other the Switched Access summary usage
data within ten (10) working days after the date that a xxxx is
rendered to the IXC by the initial Party. To the extent CLEC provides
NEVADA with Access Usage Records, NEVADA will compensate CLEC on the
same terms as CLEC compensates NEVADA. NEVADA acknowledges that
currently there is no charge for Summary Usage Data Records but that
such a charge may be appropriate. At CLEC's request, NEVADA will
negotiate a mutual and reciprocal charge for provision of Summary Usage
Data Records.
5.6.9 Errors may be discovered by CLEC, the IXC or NEVADA. Both
NEVADA and CLEC agree to provide the other Party with
notification of any discovered errors within two (2) business
days of the discovery.
5.6-10 In the event of a loss of data, both Parties shall cooperate
to reconstruct the lost data within sixty (60) days of
notification and if such reconstruction is not possible, shall
accept a reasonable estimate of the lost data, based upon at
least three (3), but no more than twelve (12) months of prior
usage data, if available.
5.7 Maintenance of Service
5.7.1 A Maintenance of Service charge applies whenever either Party
requests the dispatch of the other Party's personnel for the
purpose of performing maintenance activity on the
interconnection trunks, and any of the following conditions
exist:
(a) no trouble is found in the interconnection trunks; or
(b) the trouble condition results from equipment, facilities or
systems not provided by the Party whose personnel were
dispatched; or
(c) trouble clearance did not otherwise require dispatch and,
upon dispatch requested for repair verification, the
interconnection wink did not exceed Maintenance Limits.
5.7.2 If a Maintenance of Service initial charge has been applied
and trouble is subsequently found in the facilities of the
Party whose personnel were dispatched, the charge will be
canceled.
5.7.3 Billing for Maintenance of Service is based on each half-hour
or fraction thereof expended to perform the work requested-
The time worked is categorized and billed at one of the
following three rates:
(a) basic time;
(b) overtime; or
(c) premium time,
as defined for billing by NEVADA in NEVADA's revised tariff
P.S.C.N. No. C Section 13 and in CLEC's Exchange tariff.
6. TRANSMISSION AND ROUTING OF SWITCHED ACCESS TRAFFIC
PURSUANT TO 251(c)(2)
6.1 Scope of Traffic
Section 6 prescribes parameters for certain trunk groups ("Meet Point
Trunks") to be established over the Interconnections specified in
Section 4 above, for the transmission and routing of Switched Access
traffic between CLEC Telephone Exchange Service End Users and IXCs via
NEVADA's Access Tandem.
6.2 Trunk Group Architecture and Traffic Routing
6.2.1 The Parties shall jointly establish two-way Meet Point Trunks as
described in Appendix ITR, which will jointly provide
tandem-transported Switched Access Services to IXCs to enable CLEC's
End Users to originate and terminate traffic to/from such IXCs.
6.2.2 Meet Point Trunks shall be used solely for the transmission and routing
of Switched Access to allow CLEC End Users to originate and terminate
traffic to/from any IXCs which are connected to NEVADA's Access Tandem.
In addition, the trunks shall be used to allow CLEC's End Users to
connect to, or be connected to, the Toll Free Services of any
Telecommunications Carrier connected to NEVADA's Access Tandem.
6.2.3 The Parties will use separate facilities and separate two-way trunk
groups to NEVADA's Access Tandem, under which CLEC's NXXs home, using
DS-1 or DS-3 facilities other than the facilities used for Local
Interconnection Trunk Groups. Neither Party will charge the other any
amount for any Meet Point facilities.
6.2.4 NEVADA will not offer blocking capability for Switched Access customer
traffic delivered to any NEVADA tandem for completion on CLECs network.
The Parties understand and agree that Meet Point Trunking arrangements
are available and functional only to/from Switched Access customers who
directly connect with any NEVADA tandem that CLEC subtends; in each
LATA. In no event will NEVADA be required to route such traffic through
more than one tandem for connection to/from Switched Access customers.
NEVADA shall have no responsibility to ensure that any Switched Access
customer will accept traffic that CLEC directs to the Switched Access
customer. NEVADA also agrees to furnish CLEC, upon request, a list of
those IXCs which also interconnect with NEVADA's tandem.
6.2.5 CLEC will provide all CCS signaling including,
without limitation, Charge Number and originating
line information ("OLI"). For terminating FGD, NEVADA
will pass all CCS signaling including, without
limitation,
CPN if it receives CPN from FGD carriers. All privacy indicators will be
honored- Network signaling information such as
Transit Network Selection ("TNS") parameter, Carrier
Identification Codes ("CIC"), (CCS platform) and
CIC/OZZ information (non-CCS environment) will be
provided by CARRIER wherever such information is
needed for call routing or billing. The Parties will
follow all OBF adopted standards pertaining to TNS
and CIC/OZZ codes.
7. TRANSPORT AND TERMINATION OF OTHER TYPES OF TRAFFIC
7.1 Information Services Traffic
At such time as the Parties agree to route intraLATA Information
Services Traffic to one another-, they shall agree to exchange rating
and billing information to effectively allow the Parties to xxxx their
End Users and to charge reciprocal rates.
7.2 Busy Line Verification ("BLV")/Busy Line Verification/Interrupt
("BLVI") Traffic
7.2.1 Each Party's operator bureau shall accept BLV and BLVI inquiries from
the operator bureau of the other Party in order to allow transparent
provision of BLV/BLVI Traffic between the Parties' networks.
7.2.2 Each Party shall route BLV/BLVI Traffic inquiries betwee.
respective operator bureaus over Local Interconnection trunk
Appendix ITR.
8. SIGNALING
8.1 The Parties will interconnect their networks using SS7 signaling as
defined in
GR-000317-CORE7 and GR-000394-CORE, including ISDN User Part ("ISUP")
for trunk signaling and Transaction Capabilities Application Part
("TCAP") for CCS-based features in the interconnection of their
networks. Either Party may establish CCS interconnections either
directly and/or through a third party. Whether direct, or by third
party, CCS interconnection shall be pursuant to PUB L-780023-PB/NB: If
CCS interconnection is established through a third party, the rates,
terms, and conditions of the parties' respective tariffs will apply. If
CCS Interconnection is established directly between CLEC and NEVADA,
the rates, terms, and conditions of Xxxxxxxx XX0 will apply.
8.2 The Parties will cooperate in the exchange of TCAP messages to
facilitate full interoperability of CCS-based features between their
respective networks, including all CLASS features and functions, to the
extent each carrier offers such features and functions to its own End
Users. All CCS signaling parameters deployed by both Parties will be
provided including CPN. All privacy indicators will be honored.
8.3 CCS shall be used in conjunction with Meet Point Trunks; except
multifrequency ("MF") signaling will be used on a separate Meet Point
Trunk Group to complete originating calls to Switched Access customers
that use MF FGD signaling protocol. MY and CCS trunk groups shall not
be provided within a DS- I facility; a separate DS-1 per signaling type
must be used.
8.4 Originating FGB calls delivered to NEVADA's tandem shall use
GR-317 signaling format unless the associated FGB carrier
employs GR-394 signaling for its FGB traffic at the serving
Access Tandem.
9. NUMBERING
9.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise
adversely impact in any manner either Party's right to employ or to
request and be assigned any North American Numbering Plan ("NANP")
number resources including, but not limited to, central office ('NXX")
codes pursuant to the Central Office Code Assignment Guidelines', or to
establish, by tariff or otherwise, Exchanges and Rating Points
corresponding to such NXX codes. Each Party is responsible for
administering the NXX codes it is assigned.
9.2 At a minimum, in those areas where CLEC intends to provide
facilities-based local exchange service, CLEC shall obtain one NXX per
incumbent local exchange carrier rate center which is required to
ensure compliance with the industry-approved Central Office Code NXX
Assignment Guidelines (April, 1997) and the FCC's Second Report and
Order in CC Docket 96-116 released August 18, 1997 (Local Number
Portability).
9.3 Each Party agrees to make available via the LERG, up-to-date listings
of its own assigned NPA-NXX codes, along with associated Rating Points
and Exchanges.
9.4 To the extent NEVADA serves as Central Office Code Administrator for a
given region, NEVADA commits to treat CLEC requests for assignment of
central office code(s) in a neutral and nondiscriminatory manner,
consistent with
I Last published by the Industry Numbering Committee ("INC") as INC 00-0000-000,
Revision April 1997, formerly ICCF 00-0000-000.
regulatory requirements, and ('NXX") Central Office Code Assignment
Guidelines. Currently Pacific Xxxx performs this function for NEVADA.
9.5 Each Party is responsible to program and update its own switches and
network systems to recognize and route traffic to the other Party's
assigned NXX codes at all times. Neither Party shall impose fees or
charges on the other Party for such required programming and updating
activities.
9.6 Each Party is responsible to input required data into the Routing Data
Base Systems ("RDBS") and into the Bellcore Rating Administrative Data
Systems ("BRADS") or other appropriate system(s) necessary to update
the Local Exchange Routing Guide ("LERG"), unless negotiated otherwise.
9.7 Upon the request of CLEC, NEVADA shall perform LERG input for CLEC.
CLEC agrees to pay NEVADA the sum of $I 10 per NXX in exchange for
NEVADA's input of required data necessary to update the Local Exchange
Routing Guide ("LERG") on CLEC's behalf. NEVADA shall not be liable for
any losses or damages arising out of errors, defects, or failures
associated with the input of CLEC's data into the LERG.
9.8 Neither Party is responsible for notifying the other Parties' End Users
of any changes in dialing arrangements, including those due to NPA
exhaust, unless otherwise ordered by the law, the Commission, the FCC,
or a court.
9.9 NXX Migration
Where either Party has activated an entire NXX for a single End User,
or activated more than half of an NXX for a single End User with the
remaining numbers in that NXX either reserved for future use or
otherwise unused, if such End User chooses to receive service from the
other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party to
have the entire NXX reassigned in the LERG (and associated industry
databases, routing tables, etc.) to an End Office operated by the
second Party. Such transfer will require development of a transition
process to minimize impact on the Network and on the End User(s)'
service and will be subject to appropriate industry lead times
(currently forty-five (45) days) for movements of NXXs from one switch
to another. The Party to whom the NXX is migrated will pay NXX
migration charges of $10,000 per NXX to the Party formerly assigned the
NXX.

a day-for-day basis to the extent such Party's obligations related to
the performance so interfered with). The affected Party shall use its
best efforts to avoid or remove the cause of nonperformance and both
Parties shall proceed to perform with dispatch once the causes are
removed or cease.
30.6 Confidentiality
30.6.1 All information, including but not limited to specifications,
microfilm, photocopies, magnetic disks, magnetic tapes, drawings,
sketches, models,
samples, tools, technical information, data, employee records, maps,
financial reports, and market data:
(a) furnished by one Party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other Party
(the "Receiving Party") dealing with customer-specific, facility
specific, or usage-specific information, other than customer
information communicated for the purpose of publication or directory
database inclusion, 911, call processing, billing or settlement or as
otherwise mutually agreed upon; or
(b) in written, graphic, electromagnetic, or other tangible form and
marked at the time of delivery as "Confidential" or "Proprietary;";
or
(c) communicated orally and declared to the Receiving Party at the
time of delivery, or by written notice given to the Receiving
Party within ten (10) days after declaration to be
"Confidential" or "Proprietary" (collectively referred to as
"Proprietary Information"), shall remain the property of the
Disclosing Party.
30.6.2 Upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return
all tangible copies of Proprietary Information, whether written,
graphic, or otherwise. In the event of the expiration or termination of
this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, each Party shall return to
the other Party or destroy all Proprietary Information and other
documents, work papers and other material (including all copies
thereof) obtained from the other Party in connection with this
Agreement.
30.6.3 Each Party shall keep all the other Party's Proprietary Information
confidential in the same mariner in which it keeps its own Proprietary
Information confidential, and shall use the other Party's Proprietary
Information only for performing the covenants contained in the
Agreement -and shall disclose such Proprietary Information only to
those employees, contractors, agents or Affiliates who have a need to
know. Neither Party shall use the other Party's Proprietary Information
for any other purpose except upon such terms and conditions as may be
agreed upon between the Parties in writing.
30.6.4 Unless otherwise agreed, the obligations of confidentiality and nonuse
set forth in the Agreement do not apply to such Proprietary Information
that:
(a) was at the time of receipt, already known to the Receiving Party,
free of any obligation to keep confidential and evidenced by
written records prepared prior to delivery by the Disclosing Party;
(b) is, or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the
receiving Party;
(c) is rightfully received from a third person having no direct or
indirect secrecy or confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing
Party with respect to such information;
(d) is independently developed by an employee, agent, or contractor of
the Receiving Party which individual is not involved in any manner with
the provision of services pursuant to the Agreement and does not have
any direct or indirect access to the Proprietary Information;
(e) is disclosed to a third person by the Disclosing Party without
similar restrictions on such third person's rights;
(f) is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing
Party
(g) is required to be made public by the Receiving Party pursuant to
applicable law or regulation provided that the Receiving Party shall
provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such requirement as
soon as possible and prior to such disclosure. The Disclosing Party may
then either seek appropriate protective relief from all or part of such
requirement or, if it fails to successfully do so, it shall be deemed
to have waived the Receiving Party's compliance with Section 30.6 with
respect to all or part of such requirement. The Receiving Party shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Disclosing Party in attempting to obtain any protective relief which
such Disclosing Party chooses to obtain. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
NEVADA shall be entitled to disclose confidential information on a
confidential basis to regulatory agencies upon request for information
as to NEVADA's activities under the Act.
30.6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Proprietary
Information provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all information
furnished by either Party to the other in furtherance of the
purpose of this Agreement, even if furnished before the date
of this Agreement.

For all claims under this Agreement that are based upon issues within
the jurisdiction (primary or otherwise) of the FCC, the exclusive
jurisdiction and remedy for all such claims shall be as provided for by
the FCC and the Act. For all claims under this Agreement that are based
upon issues within the jurisdiction (primary or otherwise) of the
Commission, the exclusive jurisdiction for all such claims shall be
with such Commission, and the exclusive remedy for such claims shall be
as provided for by such Commission. In all other respects, this
Agreement shall be governed by the domestic laws of the State of Nevada
with-out reference to conflict of law provisions.
30.8 Taxes
30.8.1 Each Party purchasing services hereunder shall pay or
otherwise be responsible for all federal, state, or local
sales, use, excise, gross receipts, transaction or similar
taxes, fees, or surcharges (hereinafter "Tax") imposed on or
with respect to the services provided by or to such Party,
except for any Tax on either Party's corporate existence,
status, or income. Whenever possible, these amounts shall be
billed as a separate item on the invoice. To the extent a
sale is claimed to be for resale tax exemption, the
purchasing Party shall furnish the providing Party a proper
resale tax exemption certificate as authorized or required
by statute or regulation by the jurisdiction providing said
resale tax exemption. Failure to timely provide said resale
tax exemption certificate will result in no exemption being
available to the purchasing Party until such time as the
purchasing Party presents a valid certificate.
30.8.2 With respect to any purchase of services, facilities or other
arrangements, if any Tax is required or permitted by
applicable law to be collected from the purchasing Party by
the providing Party, then:
(a) the providing Party shall xxxx the purchasing Party for such
Tax;
(b) the purchasing Party shall remit such Tax to the providing
Party; and
(c) the providing Party shall remit such collected Tax to the
applicable
taxing authority.
30.8.3 With respect to any purchase hereunder of services, facilities or
arrangements that are resold to a third party, if any Tax is imposed
by applicable law on the End User in connection with any such
purchase, then:
(a) the purchasing Party shall be required to impose and/or collect
such Tax from the End Useq and
(b) the purchasing Party shall remit such Tax to the applicable taxing
authority.
The purchasing Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the providing Party
on an after-tax basis for- any costs incurred by the providing Party as a result
of actions taken by the applicable taxing authority to collect the Tax from the
providing Party due to the failure of the purchasing Party to pay or collect and
remit such tax to such authority.
30.8.4 If the providing Party fails to collect any Tax as required herein,
then, as between the providing Party and the purchasing Party:
(a) the purchasing Party shall remain liable for such uncollected Tax;
and
(b) the providing Party shall be liable for any penalty and interest
assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax by such authority.
However, if the purchasing Party fails to pay any taxes properly billed, then,
as between the providing Party and the purchasing Party, the purchasing Party
will be solely responsible for payment of the taxes, penalty and interest.
30.8.5 If the purchasing Party fails to: impose and/or collect any Tax from
End Users as required herein, then; a.& between the providing Party
and the purchasing Party, the purchasing Party shall remain liable for
such uncollected Tax and any interest and penalty assessed thereon
with respect to the uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing
authority. With respect to any Tax that the purchasing Party has
agreed to pay or impose on and/or collect from End Users, the
purchasing Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the providing
Party on an after-tax basis for any costs incurred by the providing
Party as a result of actions taken by the applicable taxing
authority to collect the Tax from the providing Party due to
the failure of the purchasing Party to pay or collect and
remit such Tax to such authority.
30.9 Non-Assignment
Each Party covenants that, if it sells or otherwise transfers to a
third party its Telephone Exchange and Switched Access network
facilities within any territory within which NEVADA is an Incumbent
Local Exchange Carrier as of the date of this Agreement ("NEVADA's
Territory"), or any portion thereof, to a third party, it will require
as a condition of such transfer that the transferee agree to be bound
by this Agreement with respect to services provided over the
transferred facilities. Except as provided in this paragraph, neither
Party may assign or transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise)
this Agreement (or any rights or obligations hereunder) to a third
party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided
that each Party may assign this Agreement to a corporate Affiliate or
an entity under its common control or an entity acquiring all or
substantially all of its assets or equity by providing prompt written
notice to the other Party of such assignment or transfer. Any attempted
assignment or transfer that is not permitted is void ab initio. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties' respective
successors and assigns.
30.10 Non-Waiver
Failure of either Party to insist on performance of any term or
condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege
hereunder shall not be construed as a continuing or future waiver of
such term, condition, right or privilege.
30.11 Audits
Each Party to this Agreement will be responsible for the accuracy and quality of
its data as submitted to the respective Parties involved.
30.11.1 Upon reasonable written notice and at its own expense, each Party or

matters before one of the Parties) shall have the right to conduct
an audit of the other Party to give assurances of compliance with
the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that neither Party may
request more than two (2) such audits within any twelve (12) month
period. This includes on-site audits at the other Party's or the
Party's vendor locations. Each Party, whether or not in connection
with an audit, shall maintain reasonable records for a minimum of
twenty-four (24) months and provide the other Party with reasonable
access to such information as is necessary to determine
amounts receivable or payable under this Agreement. Each
Party's right to access information for audit purposes is
limited to data not in excess of twenty-four (24) months in
age.
30.12 Disputed Amounts
30.12.1 No claims, under this Agreement or its Appendices, shall be brought
for disputed amounts more than twenty-four (24) months from the date
of occurrence which gives rise to the dispute. Under this Section
30.12, if any portion of an amount due to a Party (the "Billing
Party") under this Agreement is subject to a bona fide dispute
between the Parties, the Party billed (the "Non-Paying Party") shall
within sixty (60) days of its receipt of the invoice containing such
disputed amount give notice to the Billing Party of the amounts it
disputes ("Disputed Amounts") and include in such notice the
specific details and reasons for disputing each item. The Non-Paying
Party shall pay when due:
(a) all undisputed amounts to the Billing Party; and
(b) all Disputed Amounts to the Billing Party.
30.12.2 If the Parties are unable to resolve the issues related to the
Disputed Amounts in the normal course of business within sixty (60)
days after delivery to the Billing Party of notice of the Disputed
Amounts, each of the Parties shall appoint a designated
representative who has authority to settle the dispute and who is at
a higher level of management than the persons with direct
responsibility for administration of this Agreement. The designated
representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem
necessary in order to discuss the dispute and negotiate in good
faith in an effort to resolve such dispute.
30-12.3 If the Parties are unable to resolve issues related to the Disputed
Amounts within forty-five (45) days after the Parties' appointment
of designated representatives pursuant to Section 30.12.2, above,
then either Party may file a complaint with the Commission to
resolve such issues or proceed with any other remedy pursuant to law
or equity.
30.12.4 The Parties agree that all negotiations pursuant to this Section
30.12 shall remain confidential and shall be treated as compromise
and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of
Evidence and state rules of evidence.

Agreement or its Appendices more than twenty-four (24)
months from the date of occurrence which gives rise to the
dispute.
30.13.2 For disputes other than disputed amounts under this
Agreement or its Appendices, each Party shall appoint a
designated representative as set forth in Section 30.12.2,
above, and if unable to resolve the dispute, proceed as set
forth in Section 30.12.3, above.

Party or any of its employees without such Party's prior written
approval. The Parties will submit to each other for written approval,
prior to publication, all publicity matters that mention or display
one another's name and/or marks or contain language from which a
connection to said name and/or marks may be inferred or implied; the

modified, or stayed, consistent with the action of the legislative
body, court, or regulatory agency. In such event, the Parties shall
expend diligent efforts to arrive at an agreement respecting the
modifications to the Agreement. If negotiations fail, disputes between
the Parties concerning the interpretation of the actions required or
provisions affected by such governmental actions shall be resolved
pursuant to the dispute resolution process provided for in this
Agreement.
30.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries; Disclaimer of Agency
This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted
assigns, and nothing herein express or implied shall create or be construed to
create any third-party beneficiary rights hereunder. Except for provisions
herein expressly authorizing a Party to act for another, nothing in this
Agreement shall constitute a
Party as a legal representative or agent of the other Party, nor shall
a Party have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any
liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or
in the name or on behalf of the other Party unless otherwise expressly
permitted by such other Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, no Party undertakes to perform any obligation of the
other Party, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any
responsibility for the management of the other Party's business.
30.20 No License
No license under patents, copyrights or any other intellectual property
right (other than the limited license to use consistent with the terms,

(Print or Type)
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to an arbitration order of the Nevada
Public Utility Commission, Docket No. 99-1007, Order Adopting Revised
Arbitration Decision, April 12, 1999. It contains provisions with which Nevada
Xxxx does not agree and as to which there was and is no meeting of the minds of
the parties. In particular, there was and is no agreement that Internet traffic
would be subject to reciprocal compensation as Local Traffic under this
agreement. The FCC has repeatedly asserted its interstate jurisdiction over
Internet traffic, including as recently as in its Declaratory Ruling in CC
Docket 96-98, released February 26, 1999, in which the FCC expressly confirmed
that Internet bound traffic is non-local interstate traffic. For this reason,
Nevada Xxxx believes that Internet traffic is excluded from this Agreement and
is not subject to reciprocal compensation. Nevada Xxxx fully reserves it rights
on this issue. Nevada Xxxx believes it is entitled, under this Agreement, to
receive access charges for facilities used in the carriage of traffic originated
in a local calling area but transported beyond that local calling area to
centralized modem locations in Nevada by a toll-free incoming service,
including, but not limited to, 800 service, 800-like service and foreign
exchange-like service.
**Pac-West disagrees with Nevada Xxxx'x characterization of both this agreement
and the FCC's ruling on the issues regarding telephone calls terminating on the
Internet. Pac-West disagrees with Nevada Xxxx'x characterization of the impact
of the FCC's ruling on this agreement. This agreement speaks for itself. The
addendum to the Pacific Xxxx signature has no bearing on the fashion in which
the respective rights of the parties to this agreement are determined.

APPENDIX AIN
AIN CALL RELATED DATABASE
1. SERVICE
Advanced Intelligent Network ("AIN") is a Network Architecture that uses
distributed intelligence in centralized databases to control call processing and
manage network information, rather than performing those functions in every
switch.
At such time as NEVADA deploys AIN in its network, the following provisions will
apply:
1.1 NEVADA will provide CLEC access to NEVADA's Service Creation
Environment ("SCE") to design, create, test, and deploy AIN-based
features. All AIN services will require testing in Pacific Xxxx'x AIN
laboratory prior to deployment into the network. Testing will ensure
compatibility with NEVADA's network nodes and interaction with other
AIN, 800/888 and LIDB services. Testing will validate billing of both
switched and database services and other switch-based features, and
ensure appropriate use of network resources.
1.2 Access to NEVADA's SCE
CLEC may choose among the following forms of access to NEVADA's SCE:
(a) Option I -
---------------
CLEC provides NEVADA with documentation and logic design for
the desired service. NEVADA personnel will operate the AIN SCE
terminal to create the service as described by CLEC.
(b) Option 2 -
---------------
CLEC personnel will operate NEVADA's SCE terminal themselves. Option 2
will be made available when partitioning of NEVADA's SCE is completed.
(c) Option 3 -
---------------
CLEC will develop service logic using CLEC's Bellcore SPACE platform
and will transfer the file to NEVADA for testing and deployment. The
CLEC SPACE platform must be generically compatible with NEVADA'S
network.
1.3 When CLEC utilizes NEVADA's Local Switching network element and requests
NEVADA to provision such network element with an AIN trigger which has
been tested in NEVADA's network, NEVADA will provide access to the
appropriate
AIN Call-Related Database residing in NEVADA's SCP for the purpose of invoking
either an unbundled NEVADA AIN feature or a CLEC-developed AIN feature as per
Section 1. 1 above.
1.4 When CLEC utilizes NEVADA's Resold Exchange Lines and requests NEVADA
to provision such lines with an AIN trigger which has been tested in
NEVADA's network, NEVADA will provide access to the appropriate AIN
Call-Related Database residing in NEVADA's SCP for the purpose of
invoking a Carrierdeveloped AIN feature as per Section 1. 1.
1.5 When CLEC utilizes its own switch, NEVADA will provide access to the
appropriate AIN Call-Related Database residing in NEVADA's SCP for the
purpose of invoking either NEVADA's unbundled AIN feature or a CLEC
developed AIN feature as per Section 1. 1. CLEC access to NEVADA's AIN
databases will be via interconnection at NEVADA's regional or NEVADA's
local STPs consistent with existing network interface specifications
and using messages conforming with Bellcore's Technical References
TR-NWT-001284 and TR- NWT-001285. The requirements for these messages
may be modified by AIN access mediation (specifications not yet
available).
1.6 NEVADA will provide access to AIN Call-Related Databases in a
nondiscriminatory and competitively neutral manner. Any mediation,
static or dynamic will only provide network reliability, protection,
security and network management functions consistent with the access
service provided. Any network management controls found necessary to
protect the AIN SCP from an overload condition will be applied based on
non-discriminatory guidelines and procedures. Such management controls
will be applied to the specific problem source, wherever that source
is, including NEVADA, and not to all services unless a problem source
cannot be identified.
1.7 As requested by CLEC, NEVADA will provide specifications and
information reasonably necessary for CLEC to utilize NEVADA's SCE as
provided above.
1.8 NEVADA will partition and take reasonable steps to protect CLEC service
logic and data from unauthorized access, execution, or other types of
compromise, where technically feasible.
1.9 NEVADA will provide CLEC with access to NEVADA's Service Management
Systems ("SMS") allowing CLEC to update AIN service data residing in
NEVADA's AIN network for use on CLEC lines. Access to AIN Service
Management will be provided via electronic file transfer of CLEC data
to NEVADA for entry by NEVADA at one of NEVADA's AIN administrative
terminals as will be used by NEVADA for maintenance of AIN service and
subscriber data.

APPENDIX FGA
This Appendix sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Parties will
distribute revenue from the joint provision of Feature Group A ("FGA") Switched
Access Services.
These services will be provided within a Local Access and Transport Area
("LATA"). The Primary Company will compensate the Secondary Company only to the
extent that it has not already been compensated under its interstate or
intrastate access service tariffs or other settlement/contract arrangements.
This Appendix is subject to applicable tariffs.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Access Minutes or Minutes of Use ("MOUs")
Those minutes of use as described in Part 69 of the Federal
Communications Commission's Rules, and are limited to those FGA MOUs
which terminate in the Secondary Office(s) covered by this Appendix.
1.2 Currently Effective Tariff Rate
The approved tariff rate effective on the first day of the month for
which compensation is being calculated.
1.3 Feature Group A ("FGA") Switched Access Service
Includes all facilities and services rendered in furnishing FGA access
service, LATA wide terminating areas, in accordance with the schedule
or charges, regulations, terms and conditions stated in the interstate
or intrastate access service tariffs of the Parties.
1.4 Local Access and Transport Area ("LATA")
LATA is as defined in the Act.
1.5 Primary Company
The Party with the Primary Office(s).
1.6 Primary Office
An office which:
(a) directly or jointly connects to an interexchange carrier and/or End
User; and;
(b) provides joint FGA switched access service to that interexchange carrier
and/or End User with other end offices.
1.7 Revenues
Under this Appendix, Revenues are those FGA Switched Access amounts due
the Primary and Secondary Companies under their applicable tariffs,
less uncollectible revenues. Revenues for any other services are not
included. Uncollectible revenues are those revenues the Primary Company
is unable to collect, using its regular established collection
procedures. The Primary Company may offset uncollectibles against
current revenue distribution.
1.8 Secondary Compan
The Party with the secondary office(s).
1.9 Secondary Offic
Any office involved in providing joint FGA switched access to an
interexchange carrier and/or End User through the switching facilities
of the Primary office.
1.10 Subscriber Access Line
A communication facility provided under a general and/or exchange
service tariff extended from a customer premise to a central office
switch which may be used to make and receive exchange service calls,
intrastate toll service or interstate toll service calls.
2. UNDERTAKING OF THE PARTIES
2.1 The Secondary Company will notify the Primary Company of all tariff
rate revisions affecting this Appendix, which the FCC or other
appropriate regulatory authority allows to take effect, at least thirty
(30) days in advance of their effective date. Revenue distribution will
be based on the revised rates forty-five (45) days after the effective
date of the tariff revisions. However, if the secondary Company fails
to notify the Primary Company of a new rate within thirty (30) days of
its effective date, the Primary company may delay implementation of the
new rate until the next month's revenue distribution cycle, and will
not be required to adjust the previous bills retroactively.
2.2 Each party will furnish to the other such information as may
reasonably be required for the administration, computation and
distribution of revenue, or otherwise to execute the
provisions of this Appendix.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF REVENUE DISTRIBUTION
The Primary Company will be responsible for the administration, computation and
distribution of the FGA access service revenues collected on behalf of the
Secondary Company.
4. MINUTES OF USE ("MOU") DEVELOPMENT
The Parties will calculate the amount of FGA revenues due each Party,
by determining the amount of FGA MOUs attributable to each Party as
described below. The Primary Company will then multiply the MOUs by the
rates in the Secondary Company's applicable tariff to determine the
amounts tentatively due to the Secondary Company.
5. TERMINATING MOU DEVELOPMENT
5.1 Actual monthly premium (charged at equal access end offices)
and non-premium (charged at non-equal access end offices)
terminating FGA access MOUs for each office in the LATA will
be measured by the Primary Company.
5.2 Where the Primary Company cannot measure or identify the
terminating FGA MOUs by end office, terminating MOUs will be
total unmeasured MOUs allocated to the LATA. In this event,
those MOUs will be distributed based upon the ratio of each
Party's subscriber access lines, as identified in Exhibit A,
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, to the total
subscriber access lines in the FGA access area as determined
by the Primary Company.
6. CALCULATION OF REVENUE DISTRIBUTION
6.1 The amount of premium or non-premium revenues due each party each month
will be equal to the sum of Terminating premium or non-premium revenue
for each end office. These revenues will be calculated by the Primary
Company by multiplying each of the Secondary Company's effective
interstate and/or intrastate FGA switched access tariff rate elements
(except the Local Transport element described below) by the appropriate
MOU calculation under Section 5 above.
6.2 Local Transport (or its equivalent under the Secondary Company's tariff
and called Transport in this agreement) compensation will be determined
for each company by multiplying each of the Secondary Company's
Transport rates by the appropriate MOUs (as calculated under Section 5
above) by the Secondary Company's percentage ownership of facilities
agreed on by the Parties and set out in Exhibit A, which is attached
hereto and made a part hereof.
7. REVENUE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS, MONTHLY STATEMENTS AND
PAYMENTS
7.1 The Primary Company each month will calculate and prepare a monthly
compensation statement reflecting the revenue distribution amounts for
FGA, access service due the Secondary Company.
7.2 The monthly compensation statement will show, where applicable, for
each Secondary Office, separately:
(a) the total number of non-premium or premium terminating MOUs and
revenue;
(b) the total compensation due the Secondary Company, by rate element;
(c) the number of terminating MOUs recorded by the Primary Company;
(d) the percent ownership factor, if any, used to prorate Local Transport
revenues; and
(e) adjustments for uncollectibles.
7.3 Within sixty (60) calendar days after the end of each billing
period, the Primary Company will remit the compensation amount
due the Secondary Company. Where more than one compensation
amount is due, they may be combined into a single payment.
8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
This Appendix will remain in effect until terminated by thirty (30) calendar
day's notice by either Party to the other.

APPENDIX ITR
(TRUNKING REQUIREMENTS)
This Appendix provides descriptions of the trunking requirements for CLEC and
NEVADA interconnection. The attached scenarios depict the recommended trunk
groups for local, intraLATA toll, interLATA "meet point" and mass calling, E911
and Operator Services Interconnection. All references to incoming and outgoing
trunk groups are from the perspective of CLEC.
1. LOCAL AND INTRALATA TOLL TRAFFIC
1.1 Tandem Trunking - Single Tandem LATAs
Where NEVADA has a single Access Tandem in a LATA, IntraLATA
Toll and Local traffic shall be combined on a single Local
Interconnection mink group at the tandem for calls destined to
or from all End Offices that "home" on NEVADA's tandem. This
trunk group shall be two-way and will utilize Signaling System
7 ("SS7") signaling.
1.2Direct End Office Trunking
The Parties shall establish direct End Office primary high
usage Local Interconnection trunk groups for the exchange of
IntraLATA Toll and Local traffic where actual or projected
traffic demand justifies such a trunk group. These trunk
groups shall be two-way and will utilize SS7 signaling.
2. MEET POINT TRUNKS
InterLATA traffic shall be transported between CLEC's Central Office
and NEVADA's Access Tandem over a "Meet Point" Trunk Group separate
from Local and IntraLATA Toll traffic. The Meet Point Trunk Group will
be established for the transmission and muting of Switched Access
traffic between CLEC's End Users and Interexchange Carriers via a
NEVADA Access Tandem. These trunk groups shall be set up as two-way and
will utilize SS7 signaling, except multifrequency ("MF') signaling will
be used on a separate Meet Point Trunk Group to complete originating
calls to Switched Access customers that use MF FGD signaling protocol.
(See ITR Scenario #1).
3. 000 (000) XXXXXXX
3.1 All originating Toll Free Service calls for which CLEC
requests that NEVADA perform the Service Switching Point
("SSP") function (e.g., perform the database query) shall be
delivered using GR-394 format over the Meet Point Trunk
Group. Carrier Code "0110' and Circuit Code of"08" shall be
used for all such traffic.
3.2 All post-query Toll Free Service calls for which CLEC
performs the SSP function, if delivered to NEVADA, shall be
delivered using GR-394 format over the Meet Point Trunk
Group for calls destined to IXCs, or shall be delivered by
CLEC using GR-317 format over the Local Interconnection
Trunk Group for calls dustined to End Offices that directly
subtend the tandem.
4. E911
A segregated trunk group will be required to interconnect with
NEVADA's E911 tandem within the exchange in which CLEC offers the
Exchange Service. This trunk group shall be set up as a one-way
outgoing only and shall utilize MI: CAMA signaling.
5. HIGH VOLUME CALL-IN NETWORK
5.1 A separate High Volume Call In-Local Interconnection ("HVCI-LI") trunk
group may be provisioned between CLEC's end office(s) and NEVADA's
LERG- designated High Volume Call-In tandem(s) for each of NEVADA's
Mass Calling NPA-NXX(s) in a LATA or, alternately, between CLEC's
tandem and NEVADA's LERG-designated HVCI tandem(s). This HVCI-LI trunk
group shall be designed and built as one-way (CLEC Central
Office-to-NEVADA tandem) only and shall use MF signaling. As the
I-IVCI-IJ trunk group is designed to block all excessive attempts
toward HVCI/Mass Calling NXXs, it is. necessarily exempt fi-om the one
percent blocking standard described elsewhere for other final Local
Interconnection Trunk Groups. It is recommended that this group be
sized as follows:
Number of Access Lines Served Number of ltVCI-LI Trunks.
0 - 10,000 2
10,000 - 20,000 3
20,000 - 30,000 4
30,000 - 40,000 5
40,000 - 50,000 6
50,000 - 60,000 7
60,000 - 75,000 8
75,000 + 9 Maximum
5.2 Ail applicable compensation arrangements described elsewhere-for Local
Interconnection Trunks/Trunk Groups and terminating access shall apply
to HVCI-LI Trunks/Trunk Groups and traffic.
5.3 Should CLEC assign a Mass Calling code and establish an
HVCI-LI interface for traffic destined to its HVCI central
office(s), CLEC must "home" its HVCI- serving office on a
NEVADA HVCI tandem, and a similar HVCI-LI thinking
arrangement (1-way outgoing with MI: signaling) will be
provided from NEVADA's tandem to CLEC. In order to allow the
parties time to order and install such H-VCI-LI thinks, CLEC
must provide NEVADA notification of its intention to deploy
Mass Calling code(s) at least ninety (90) days before such
crudesx are opened in the LERG.
5.4 MF and SS7 trunk groups shall not be provided within a DS-1
facility; a separate DS-1 per signaling type must be used.
Where NEVADA and CLEC both provide ffVCI-LI miniring, both
parties' HVCI-LI trunks may ride the same DS-1.
6. OPERATOR SERVICES
6.1 No Operator Contract - Inward Operator Assistance
CLEC may choose from two interconnection options for Inward Operator
Assistance as follows:
6.1.1 Option 1 - Interexchange Carrier ("IXC")
CLEC may utilize the Interexchange Carrier Network. CLEC
operator will route its calls requiring inward operator
assistance through its designareal IXC POP to NEVADA's TOPS
tandem. NEVADA shall route its calls requiring inward operator
assistance to CLEC's Designated Operator Switch through the
designated IXC POP.
6.1.2 BLV and BLVI inquiries between operator bureaus shall be
routed using network-routable access codes published in the
LERG over the Local Interconnection Thinks.
6.2 Operator Contract with NEVADA
6.2.1 Directory Assistance ("DA")
CLEC may contract for DA services only. A segregated tnmk
group for these services would be required to NEVADA's TOPS
tandem. This trunk group is set up as one-way outgoing only
and utilizes MF and Operator Services signaling.
6.2.2 Express Call Completion Service ("ECCS")
CLEC contracting for DA services may also contract for ECCS.
This requires a segregated one-way trunk group to NEVADA's
TOPS tandem. This trunk group is set up as one-way outgoing
only and utilizes MI: signaling.
6.2.3 Busy Line Verification
When NEVADA's operator is under contract to verify CLEC's End
User loop, NEVADA will utilize a segregated one-way trunk
group with MF signaling from NEVADA's Access Tandem to CLEC
switch.
6.2.4 Operator Assistance (0+, 0-)
This service requires a one-way trunk group from
CLEC's switch to NEVADA's TOPS tandem. This trunk
group may carry ECCS calls in addition to OA calls.
MF and Operator Services signaling will be required -
on the trunk group.
7. TRUNK DESIGN BLOCKING CRITERIA
A blocking standard of one half of one percent (.005) during the average
busy hour, for alternate final trunk groups between the Parties
networks carrying Meet Point traffic shall be maintained. All other
direct final trunk groups shall be engineered with a blocking standard
of one percent (.01).
8. FORECASTING/SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES
8.1 Both Parties agree to provide an initial forecast for establishing the
initial interconnection facilities and equipment. Subsequent forecasts
will be provided on a semi-annual basis concurrent with the publication
of NEVADA's General Trunk Forecast including yearly forecasted mink
quantities for all trunk groups described in this Appendix for a
minimun of three years, and the use of Common Language Location
Identifier ("CLLI-MSG") which is described in Bellcore documents
BR795-100-100 and BR795-400-100.
8.2 The Parties shall work towards the development of joint forecasting
responsibilities for traffic utilization over trunk groups. Orders for
trunks that exceed forecasted quantities for forecasted locations will
be accommodated as facilities and/or equipment becomes available.
Parties shall make all reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith
to develop alternative solutions to accommodate orders when facilities
are not available. Intercompany forecast information must be provided
by the Parties to each other twice a year. The semi-annual forecasts
shall include:
(a) yearly forecasted trunk quantities (which include measurements that
reflect actual tandem Local Interconnection and Meet Point xxxxx, End
Office Local Interconnection xxxxx, and tandem-subtending Local
Interconnection end office equivalent trunk requirements) for a minimum
of three (current and plus-1 and plus-2) years; and
(b) a description of major network projects anticipated for the following
six months. Major network projects include romking or network
rearrangements, shifts in anticipated traffic patterns, orders for
greater than four (4) DS-ls, or other activities that are reflected by
a significant increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following
forecasting period.
8.3 If differences in semi-annual forecasts of the Parties vary by more
than 48 additional DS-0 two-way trunks for each Local Interconnection Trunk
Group, the
Parties shall meet to reconcile the forecast to within 48
DS-0 trunks.
8.4 Each Party shall provide a specified point of contact for
planning, forecasting and trunk servicing purposes.
9. TRUNK SERVICING
9.1 Orders between the Parties to establish, add, change or
disconnect thinks shall be processed by using an Access
Service Request ("ASR").
9.2 As discussed in this Appendix, both Parties will jointly manage the
capacity of Local Interconnection Trunk Groups. Both Parties will
send a Trunk Group Service Request ("TGSR") to the other Party to
trigger changes to the Local Interconnection Trunk Groups based on
capacity assessment. Either Party upon receipt of the TGSR will issue
an ASR to the other Party:
(a) within ten (10) business days after receipt of the TGSR,
upon review of and in response to the TGSR received; or
(b) at any time as a result of either Party's own capacity
management assessment, in order to begin the provisioning
process. The intervals used for the provisioning process
will be the same as those used for NEVADA's Switched Access
service.
9.3 Orders that comprise a major project shall be submitted at the same
time, and their implementation shall be jointly planned and
coordinated. Major projects are those that require the coordination
and execution of multiple orders or related activities between and
among NEVADA and CLEC work groups, including but not limited to the
initial establishment of Local Interconnection or Meet Point trunk
groups and service in an area, NXX code moves, re-homes, facility
grooming, or network rearrangements.
9.3.1 Orders that comprise a major project, i.e., five (5) DS-I's or
more, shall be submitted in a timely fashion, and their
implementation shall be jointly planned and coordinated.
9.4 CLEC will be responsible for engineering its network on its side of the
POI. NEVADA will be responsible for engineering its network on its side of
the POI.
9.5 Due dates for the installation of Local Interconnection and Meet Point
Trunks covered by this Appendix shall be based on NEVADA's intrastate
Switched Access intervals.
9.6 Trunk serving responsibilities for TOPS
xxxxx used for stand-alone operator
service or Directory Assistance are the
sole responsibility of CLEC.
10. SERVICING OBJECTIVE/DATA EXCHANGE
---------------------------------
Each Party agrees to service trunk groups to the foregoing blocking
criteria in a timely manner when trunk groups exceed measured blocking
thresholds on an average time consistent busy hour for a twenty
(20)-business day study period. Upon request, each Party will make
available to the other trunk group measurement reports for trunk groups
terminating in the requesting Party's network. These reports will
contain offered load, measured in CCS (100 call seconds), that has been
adjusted to consider the effects of overflow, retrials, and day-to-day
variation. They will also contain overflow CCS associated with the
offered load, day-to-day variation, peakedness factor, the date of the
last week in the four-week study period and the number of valid days of
measurement. These reports shall be made available at a minimum on a
semi-annual basis upon request.
11. TRUNK FACILITY UNDER UTILIZATION
--------------------------------
If a trunk group is under 75 percent (75%) of CCS capacity on a monthly
average basis, for each month of any six month period, either Party may
request the issuance of an order to resize the trunk group, which shall
be left with not less than 25 percent excess capacity. In all cases,
grade of service objectives identified in Section 7 above shall be
maintained.
12. NETWORK MANAGEMENT
------------------
12.1 Restrictive Controls
Either Party may use protective network traffic management controls
such as 7- digit and 10-digit code gaps on traffic toward each other's
network, when required, to protect the public switched network from
congestion due to facility failures, switch congestion, or failure or
focused overload. CLEC and NEVADA will immediately notify each other of
any protective control action planned or executed.
12.2 Expansive Controls
Where the capability exists, originating or terminating traffic
reroutes may be implemented by either Party to temporarily relieve
network congestion due to facility failures or abnormal calling
patterns. Reroutes will not be used to circumvent normal trunk
servicing. Expansive controls will only be used when mutually agreed to
by the Parties.
12.3 Mass Calling
CLEC and NEVADA shall cooperate and share pre-planning information
regarding cross-network call-ins expected to generate large or focused
temporary increases in call volumes.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Network Component Service ("NCS") is a discretionary offering which NEVADA is
willing to provide under the terms and conditions in this Appendix that are
above and beyond NEVADA's obligations under the Act. Through NCS NEVADA performs
the combining of certain UNEs on behalf of the CLEC for the purpose of the CLEC
providing an end-to-end telecommunications service to end users exclusively
utilizing NEVADA Unbundled Network Elements. Appendix UNE contains a description
of Unbundled Network Elements or, as used herein, "network components" along
with the terms and conditions under which NEVADA will provide Unbundled Network
Elements. NCS will be provided by NEVADA at the prices contained herein. NCS is
market-based priced and is neither subject to me-up nor arbitration. Prices for
NCS that are in addition to the prices for the individual Unbundled Network
Elements are listed in Section 3 of this Appendix.
2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2.1 The CLEC shall identify on a single NCS order all of the network
components, all associated ordering codes (as determined by NEVADA),
and the sequence in which NEVADA is to combine those elements on behalf
of CLEC. When this order involves only NEVADA's network, the order will
be for Network Component Service (NCS), even though the individual
element types are to be derived from Appendix UNE.
2.2 In addition to the recurring and non-recurring charges for the
individual Unbundled Network Elements ordered, the Network Component
Service will be priced as described in section 3 of this Appendix.
2.3 Any changes or rearrangements of the components shall constitute a new
NCS offering and applicable non-recurring and service order charges
apply.
2.4 The network components provided by NEVADA under the provision of this
Appendix shall remain the property of NEVADA.
2.5 Provisioning of NCS under this Appendix may be accomplished over such
routes, technologies, and facilities as NEVADA may elect as long as the
connection being requested by the CLEC is functional.
2.6 NEVADA is responsible only for the installation, operations
and maintenance of the NCS originally defined and ordered by
the CLEC. NEVADA is not
responsible for the Telecommunication Services provided by the CLEC through the
use of NCS. 2.7 X~here NCS is provided to CLEC and it is dedicated to a single
end user, if NCS is for any reason disconnected, the individual network
components shall be made available to NEVADA for future provisioning needs,
unless NCS is disconnected in error.
2.8 Network elements identified through the Bona Fide Request process will not
be provisioned under this Appendix.
3. PRICING
3.1 For each NCS arrangement, the CLEC shall pay the full recurring and non
recurring rate per Unbundled Network Element, feature, function, or ancillary
charge as shown in Appendix PRICING plus the additional NCS recurring and
nonrecurring market-based rates, as shown in Section 3.2.
3.2 The prices for providing NCS for NEVADA LINExxs are as follows:

3.3 This Appendix is available as a package offering. Any changes to
prices, terms and conditions of UNEs offered pursuant to Appendix LINE
shall not be incorporated into this Appendix without the mutual
agreement of the Parties.
3.4 Since this offering is discretionary and not subject to the Act,
any prices set by NEVADA to provide NCS, even if zero (or no charge),
are fully at NEVADA's discretion. The prices for NCS are subject to
change.
4. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Each Party is solely responsible for the services it provides to its end
users and to other Telecommunications Carriers.
4.2 The Parties shall work cooperatively to minimize fraud associated
with third-number billed calls, calling card calls, and any other
services related to this Agreement.
4.3 At all times during the term of an Agreement, executed pursuant to this
STC, each Party shall keep and maintain in force at each Party's
expense all insurance required by law (e.g. workers' compensation
insurance) as well as general liability insurance for personal injury
or death to any one person, property damage resulting from any one
incident, automobile liability with coverage for bodily injury for
property damage. Upon request from the other Party, each Party shall
provide to the other Party evidence of such insurance (which may be
provided through a program of self insurance).
4.4 Unless otherwise stated, NEVADA will render a monthly xxxx to CLEC for
service(s) provided hereunder. Remittance in full will be due within
thirty (30) days of that billing date. Interest shall apply on overdue
amounts at the highest rate allowed by applicable law.
4.5 For purposes of pre-order, ordering, provisioning, maintenance and
billing, CLEC will use the same processes, as used in connection with
Unbundled Network Elements obtained through Appendix UNE.

APPENDIX NETWORK INTERCONNECTION METHODS ("NIM')
Network Interconnection Architecture designates Network Interconnection Methods
("NIMs") to be used by the Parties. These include: Fiber Meets; Virtual
Collocation Interconnection; Physical Collocation Interconnection; leasing of
NEVADA facilities; and other methods as mutually agreed to by the Parties.
1. HBER MEETS
1.1 Where the Parties interconnect their networks pursuant to a Fiber Meet,
the Parties shall jointly engineer and operate such interconnection as
a single SONET transmission system for the purposes of terminating
calls intended for a End User of one of the Parties, Transit Traffic,
and jointly provided Exchange Access. The Parties agree to establish
technical interface specifications for Fiber-Meet arrangements that
permit the successful interconnection and completion of traffic routed
over the facilities that interconnect at the Fiber Meet. Each Party is
responsible for designing, provisioning, ownership, and maintenance of
equipment and facilities on its side of the POI. Each Party is free to
select the manufacturer of its Fiber Optic Terminal ("FOT"). Neither
Party will be allowed to access the Data Communications Channel ("DCC')
of the other Party's EOT. The technical specifications will be designed
so that each Party may, as far as is technically feasible,
independently select the transmission, multiplexing, and fiber
terminating equipment to be used on its side of the Fiber Meet. The
Parties will work cooperatively to achieve equipment compatibility.
Requirements for such interconnection specifications will be defined in
joint engineering planning sessions between the Parties. The Parties
will use good faith efforts to develop and agree on these
specifications within ninety (90) days of the determination by the
Parties that such specifications shall be implemented, and in any case,
prior to the establishment of any Fiber Meet arrangements between them.
1.2 NEVADA shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install,
and maintain the agreed-upon Optical Line Terminating
Multiplexer ("OLTM") equipment in each NEVADA Wire Center
where the Parties establish a Fiber Meet in capacity
sufficient to provision and maintain all logical trunk
groups prescribed by Xxxxxxxx 0XX, Sections 1 and 2. CLEC
shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install and
maintain the agreed upon OLTM equipment in each CLEC Wire
Center where the Parties establish a Fiber Meet in capacity
sufficient to provision and maintain all logical trunk
groups prescribed by Appendix ITK, Sections 1 and 2.
1.3NEVADA shall designate a manhole or other suitable entry way immediately
outside the Wire Center as a Fiber Meet entry point and shall
make all necessary preparations to receive and to allow and
enable CLEC to deliver fiber optic
facilities into that manhole with sufficient spare length to
reach the OLTM equipment in NEVADA's Wire Center. CLEC shall
deliver and maintain such strands wholly at its own expense.
1.4 CLEC shall designate a manhole or other suitable entry way
immediately outside CLEC's Wire Center as a Fiber Meet entry
point and shall make all necessary preparations to receive and
to allow and enable NEVADA to deliver fiber optic facilities
into that manhole with sufficient spare length to reach the
OLTM equipment in CLEC's Wire Center. NEVADA shall deliver and
maintain such strands wholly at its own expense.
2. AVOIDANCE OF OVER PROVISIONING Underutilization is the inefficient
deployment and use of the network due to forecasting a need for more
capacity than actual usage requires and results in unnecessary costs for
interconnection facilities. To avoid over provisioning, the Parties will
agree to joint facility growth planning as detailed below.
3. JOINT FACILITY GROWTH PLANNING
The initial interconnection facility deployed for each interconnection shall be
the smallest standard available, e.g., for SONET this is an OC-3 system. The
following lists the criteria and processes needed to satisfy additional capacity
requirements beyond the initial system.
3.1 Criteria
3.1.1 Investment is to be minimized.
3.1.2 Facilities are to be deployed in a "just-in-time" fashion.
3.1.3Facilities will be planned for in accordance with the trunk forecasts
exchanged between the Parties as described in Appendix ITR.
3.2 Processes
3.2.1 Discussions to provide relief to existing facilities will be triggered
when either Party recognizes that the overall system facility ("DS-Is")
is at 90% of capacity.
3.2.2 Both Parties will perform a joint validation to ensure interconnecting
facilities have not been over provisioned. If any systems are over
provisioned, they will be turned down as appropriate. If any
interconnecting-facilities resizing lowers the fill level of the
interconnecting facilities below 90%, the growth planning process will
be suspended and will not be reinitiated until a 90% fill level is
achieved. Trunk design blocking criteria described in Appendix ITR will
be used in - determining trunk group sizing requirements
and forecasts.
3.2.3 If based on the forecasted equivalent DS-1 growth the existing fiber
optic system is not projected to exhaust within one year, the Parties
will suspend further relief planning on this interconnection until a
date one year prior to the projected exhaust date. If growth patterns
change during the suspension period, either Party may re-initiate the
joint planning process.
3.2.4 If the placement of a minimum size system will not provide adequate
augmentation capacity for the joint forecast over a two-year period and
the forecast appears reasonable based upon history, the next larger
system may be deployed. In the case of a SONET system, the OC-3 system
could be upgraded to an OC-12. If the forecast does not justify a move
to the next larger system, another minimal size system (such as on
OC-3) could be placed. This criteria assumes both Parties have adequate
fibers for either scenario. If adequate fibers do not exist, both
Parties would negotiate placement of additional fibers and/or
equipment.
3.2.5 Both Parties will negotiate a project service date and corresponding
work schedule to consmet relief facilities in an effort to achieve
"just-in-time" deployment.
3.2.6 The joint planning process/negotiations should be completed within two
months of identification of 90% fill.
4. VIRTUAL COLLOCATION INTERCONNECTION
4.1 Subject to space availability and technical feasibility, NEVADA will
provide Virtual Collocation in accordance with the Act, the FCC rules
promulgated thereunder (e.g., 47 C.F.R. ss. 51.323), and any Commission
decision. Unless inconsistent with this Section 4, Virtual Collocation
Interconnection will be provided as set forth in Nevada Xxxx'x
interstate Virtual Collocation tariffs (Nevada Xxxx'x Tariff FCC No.
1).
4.1.1 If CLEC designates permitted telecommunications equipment
for Virtual Collocation that is not set forth in Nevada
Xxxx'x ("NEVADA's") interstate tariff, the provisioning of
such telecommunications equipment shall be handled in the
same manner as is used by NEVADA for provisioning non-
tariffed equipment under its interstate Virtual Collocation
tariffs; provided, however, that in no event shall NEVADA be
required to file any tariff, whether interstate or
intrastate in jurisdiction. By way of example and not
limitation, CLEC would apply for, and NEVADA would price,
provide, and xxxx such telecommunications equipment as if
under Nevada Xxxx'x interstate virtual collocation tariff.
4.2 When providing Virtual Collocation, NEVADA will, at a minimum, install,
maintain, and repair Virtual Collocation equipment for CLEC within the
same time periods and with failure rates that are no greater than those
that apply to the performance of similar functions for comparable
equipment of NEVADA.
4.3 NEVADA will provide Virtual Collocation in "Eligible
Structures", as defined in Appendix PHYSICAL COLLOCATION,
and permit the Virtual Collocation of telecommunications
equipment permitted by 47 U.S.C.ss.251(c) (6), FCC roles
promulgated thereunder (e.g., 47 C.F.R.ss.51.323), and
Commission decisions.
4.3.1Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, NEVADA is under no
obligation to provide and shall not provide Virtual
Collocation for any equipment that, by its nature or due to
its characteristics and methods of operation, interferes with
or impairs service over NEVADA's network equipment, or
facilities, or the network, equipment, or facilities of any
other person or entity; creates hazards for or cause damage to
those networks, equipment, or facilities, the Premises, or the
Eligible Structure; impairs the privacy of any communications
carded in, fi:om, or through the Eligible Structure; or
creates hazards or cause physical harm to any person, entity,
or the public. The terms "Premises' and "Eligible Structure"
are as defined in Appendix PHYSICAL COLLOCATION.
4.4 Unless otherwise agreed to by NEVADA or required by law, the
telecommunications equipment that is permitted in any Eligible
Structure for Virtual Collocation is limited to the same or
substantially similar telecommunications equipment (determined with
reference to power and environmental requirements and conditions) that
NEVADA already places in that particular Eligible Structure (determined
on an Eligible Structure-by-Eligible Structure basis, and not by class
of Eligible Structures). To the extent that permitted Virtual
Collocation equipment is not the same or substantially similar, the
preparation of the Eligible Structure (e.g., power, environmental) for
the Xxxxx Collocation equipment will be charged to CLEC on an ICB
basis.
4.5Unless otherwise agreed to by NEVADA or required by law, all
Virtual Collocation equipment shall comply with Bellcore
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Generic
Requirements (GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE) and any successor
document(s), including as such may be modified at any time
and from time to time and such modifications are adopted and
followed by NEVADA, and then where and how adopted and
followed by NEVADA ("NEBS Standards"). To the extent that
permitted Virtual Collocation equipment does not
meet the NEBS Standards, the preparation of the Eligible Structure for
placement of such non-compliant Virtual Collocation equipment (e.g.,
firewall construction), if any, will be charged to CLEC on an ICB
basis.
4.6Virtual Collocation provided hereunder is made available subject to and in
accordance with:
(a) Nevada Xxxx'x Technical Publication for Expanded
Interconnection with Nevada Xxxx - Virtual Collocation & SBI
dated October, 1995, and any successor document(s), as may be
modified from time to time as set forth below ("Virtual
Collocation Technical Publication"). NEVADA concurs in the
Virtual Collocation Technical Publication (ignoring any
provisions that are applicable only to SONET-Based
Interconnection) and adopts it as its own and, therefore, for
purposes of this Appendix, any reference therein to Nevada
Xxxx shall be deemed to refer to NEVADA only.
Co) any statutory and/or regulatory requirements in effect at the
time of the submission of the Virtual Collocation application
or subsequently become effective and then when effective.
CLEC shall strictly observe and abide by each.
4.7 The Virtual Collocation Technical Publication is attached hereto and,
along with the NEBS Standards, are incorporated herein by this
reference. CLEC may obtain a copy of the NEBS Standards by contacting
Xxxx Communications Research, Inc. at 1-800--421-2674.
4.8 If the Virtual Collocation Technical Publication is modified from the
attached, the
following shall apply:.
(a) If a modification is made alter the date on which CLEC has
or orders a Virtual Collocation arrangement, NEVADA shall
provide CLEC with those modifications or with revised
versions of such, listing or noting the modifications as
appropriate. Any such modification shall become effective
and thereafter applicable under this Agreement thirty (30)
days after such amendment is released by NEVADA, except for
those specific amendments to which CLEC objects to within
thirty (30) days of receipt, providing therewith an
explanation for each such objection. The Parties shall
pursue such objections informally with each other and, if
not resolved within forty-five (45) days, either Party will
have fourteen (14) days to invoke the dispute resolution
procedures applicable to this Agreement. If neither Party
invokes those procedures, the modification is deemed
effective and applicable.
(b) If a modification is made after this Appendix becomes pan of an effective
"Statement of Terms and Conditions" or similar document for NEVADA (and the
modification has not been included in a change to that - "Statement" or
this Appendix), and before CLEC's initial virtual collocation arrangement,
then NEVADA will provide CLEC with a copy of such modifications or the most
recent version or revision of the particular document promptly after
receipt of CLEC's virtual collocation application. Any CLEC objection to
those modifications must be received by NEVADA by the thirtieth (30th) day
after receipt by CLEC. Thereafter, the same process and procedure
(including timelines) for resolving any objection made under Section 4.8(a)
shall apply.
(c) Notwithstanding Sections 4.8(a) and/or (b), any modification made to
address situations potentially harmful to NEVADA's or another's
network, equipment, or facilities, the Eligible Structure, the
Premises, or to comply with statutory or regulatory requirements shall
become effective immediately and shall not be subject to objection.
NEVADA will immediately notify CLEC of any such modification.
4.9 The terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Appendix shall
control in the event of an irreconcilable conflict with the Virtual
Collocation Technical Publication or the NEBS Standards (including any
modification to any of them that can be objected to under this Section
4.8, regardless of whether CLEC objected to such modification pursuant
to Section 4.8). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding,
modifications that are governed by Section 4.8(c) shall apply
regardless of any conflict or inconsistency with any other term or
condition governing a Virtual Collocation arrangement unless contrary
to law.
4.10 Sections 14.3, 14.4, and 14.6 of Appendix PHYSICAL COLLOCATION are
incorporated by this reference into this Appendix NIM for purposes of
virtual collocation.
5. PHYSICAL COLLOCATION INTERCONNECTION
NEVADA will provide Physical Collocation in accordance with the Act,
the FCC rules promulgated thereunder (e.g., 47 C.F.R. ss.51.323), any
Commission decision and subject to Appendix PHYSICAL COLLOCATION.
6. LEASING OF NEVADA'S FACILITIES
6.1 CLEC's leasing of NEVADA's facilities for purposes of Appendix FrR,
Sections 1 and 2: Network Interconnection Architecture will be subject
to the mutual agreement of the Parties.
6.2 CLEC's leasing of NEVADA's facilities for purposes of Section 4.3 of
the Main Agreement: Network Interconnection Methods, will be subject to
the mutual agreement of the Parties.
6.3 CLEC will provide a written leased facility request that will specify
the A- and Z-ends (CLLI codes, where known), equipment and muxing
required and provide quantities requested. Requests for leasing of
NEVADA's facilities for the purposes of interconnection and any future
augmentations are subject to facility availability at the time of the
request.
6.4 Any request by the CLEC for leased facilities where facilities,
equipment, or riser cable do not exist will be considered, and NEVADA
may agree to provide under a Leased Facilities Bona Fide Request
("BFR") Process as defined below:
6.4.1 A Leased Facilities BFR will be submitted by CLEC in writing
and will include a description of the facilities needed
including the quantity, size (DS-3 or DS-l), A- and Z-end of
the facilities, equipment and muxing requirements, and date
needed.
6.4.2 The CLEC may cancel a Leased Facilities BFR at any time, but
will pay NEVADA any reasonable and demonstrable costs of
processing and/or implementing the Leased Facilities BFR up to
the date of cancellation.
6.4.3 Within ten (10) business days of its receipt, NEVADA will
acknowledge receipt of the Leased Facilities BFR.
6.4.4 Except under extraordinary circumstances, within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of a Leased Facilities BFR, NEVADA will
provide to CLEC a written response to the request. The
response will confirm whether NEVADA will offer the leased
facilities or not. If NEVADA determines it will offer the
leased facilities, NEVADA will provide the CLEC a Leased
Facilities BFR quote which will include the applicable
recurring and nonrecurring rates and installation intervals.
6.4.5 Within sixty-five (65) business days of its receipt of the
Leased Facilities BFR quote, CLEC must confirm its order. If
not confirmed within sixty-five (65) business days, NEVADA
reserves the fight to modify or withdraw its Leased Facilities
BFR quote.

1. INTERI~ NUMBER PORTABILITY ("INP")
----------------------------------
1.1 General
NEVADA and CLEC will provide Interim Number Portability
("INP") in accordance with requirements of the Act. INP will
be provided by each Party to the other upon request. INP will
be provided with minimum impairment of functionality, quality,
reliability and convenience to subscribers of CLEC or NEVADA.
As described herein, INP is a service arrangement whereby an
End User,, who switches subscription of exchange service from
one provider to another is permitted to retain, for its use,
the existing assigned number provided that the End. User
remains in the same serving wire center.
1.2 Terms, Conditions Under Which NEVADA Shall Provide INP
1.2.1 Service Provided
1.2.1.1 NEVADA shall only provide INP, as described herein, to CLEC.
1.2.1.2 NEVADA shall only provide INP services and facilities where technically
feasible, subject to the availability of facilities, and only from
properly equipped central offices. NEVADA does not offer INP services
and facilities for NXX codes 555, 800, 888, 950 or any NXX codes that
are not specific to a geographic location and wire center.
1.2.1.3 NEVADA shall not provide INP services for End User accounts where the
End User's payments are thirty (30) days or more in arrears, or where
contract termination liabilities would be assessed by NEVADA to the End
User, unless full payment is made, or an agreement is reached where
CLEC agrees to make full payment on the End User's behalf, including
any termination amounts due.
1.2.1.4 When the exchange service offerings associated with INP service are
provisioned using DNCF switching arrangements, NEVADA shall, for
technical reasons, provide service - from host central offices. INP
service for remote arrangements will be served from the host central
office.
1.2-2 Obligations of NEVADA
NEVADA's sole responsibility is to comply with the service requests it
receives from CLEC and to provide INP in accordance with this
- Appendix.
1.2.3 Obligations of CLECs
1.2.3.1 CLEC shall coordinate the provision of service with NEVADA to assure
that CLEC's switch is capable of accepting INP ported traffic.
1.2.3.2 CLEC is solely responsible to provide equipment and facilities that are
compatible with NEVADA's service parameters, interfaces, equipment and
facilities. CLEC shall provide sufficient terminating facilities and
services at the terminating end of an INP call to adequately handle all
traffic to that location and shall ensure that its facilities, equipment
and services do not interfere with or impair any facility, equipment or
service of NEVADA or any of its End Users. In the event that NEVADA
determines, in its sole judgment, that CLEC will likely impair or is
impairing, or interfering with any equipment, facility, or service of
NEVADA or any of its End Users, NEVADA may either refuse to provide INP
service or terminate it in accordance with other provisions of this
Agreement or NEVADA's tariffs, where applicable.
1.2.3.3 CLEC shall provide an appropriate intercept announcement service for
any telephone numbers subscribed to INP service for which CLEC is not
presently providing exchange service or terminating to an End User.
1.2.3.4 When a ported telephone number becomes vacant, e.g., the telephone
number is no longer in service by the original End User and a period
for intercept and referral equivalent to that which is provided by
NEVADA to its own End User subscribers has elapsed, the ported
telephone number will be released back to NEVADA.
1.2.3.4.1Formerly ported telephone numbers which revert to NEVADA as described
above shall be reassigned or provided with a standard NEVADA intercept
announcement in accordance with NEVADA's standard operating procedures
then in effect.
1.2.3.5 CLEC shall designate to NEVADA at the time of its initial
service request for INP service one of the following options
for handling and processing of Calling Card, Collect, Third
Party, - and other operator handled non-sent paid calls from
or to CLEC assigned telephone numbers:
(a) CLEC may elect to block the completion
of third number and calling card calls
through the use of LIDB to select ported
numbers.
Co) For non-sent paid calls billed to INP
assigned numbers, a separate
sub-clearinghouse billing arrangement must
be established which will provide for the
transmission of the ElYIR 01-01-01 billing
records, and settlement of toll revenues.
1.2.4 Limitations Of Service
1.2.4.1 NEVADA is not responsible for adverse effects on any
service, facility or equipment from the use of IN'P
service.
1.2.4.2 End-to-end transmission characteristics cannot be
specified by NEVADA for calls over INP facilities
because end-to-end transmission characteristics may
vary depending on the distance and routing necessary
to complete calls over INP facilities and the fact
that another xxxxxx is involved in the provisioning
of service.
1.3 Service Descriptions
1.3.1 INP - DNCF
INP-DNCF is a service whereby a call dialed to an INP-DNCF
equipped telephone number, assigned to NEVADA, is
automatically forwarded to CLEC-assigned, 7- or 10-digit
telephone number. The forwarded-to-number must be specified by
CLEC at the same wire center wherein the ported number
resides.
1.3.1.1 INP-DNCF provides an initial call path and one
additional path for the forwarding of no more than
two (2) simultaneous calls to CLEC's specified
forwarded-to number. Additional call paths are
available on a per path basis up to a maximum of
ninety-nine (99) call paths.
1.3.1.2 CLEC-assigned forwarded-to number shall be treated as two
separate calls with respect to interconnection compensation, End User
toll billing, and intercompany settlement and access billing, i.e., an
incoming call to NEVADA's ported number shall be handled like any
other NEVADA call being terminated to that End Office and the ported
call to CLEC's assigned telephone number in CLEC's switch shall be
handled as any local calls between NEVADA and CLEC.
1.3.1.3 Where facilities exist, NEVADA will provide identification of
the originating telephone number, via SS7 signaling, to CLEC.
1.3.2 INP - FlexDID'
INP-FlexDID is a service which provides for the delivery of the called
(dialed) number to CLEC's switching (central office or premises)
equipment for identification and subsequent routing and call completion
over a dedicated direct final trunk group.
1.3-2.1 R%TP-FlexDD:) is available either on a per voice grade channel
basis or a per DS-1 (24 equivalent voice grade channels) basis.
1.3.2.1.1 Where the location of CLEC's switching equipment to which
NEVADA is providing voice grade or DS- I INP-FlexDID service resides
outside the exchange or central office serving area from which the
INP-FlexDID service is purchased, CLEC shall pay applicable
interoffice mileage charges as specified in NEVADA's Tariff P.S.C.N.
C, Section 7.
1.3.2.2 INP-FlexDID service must be established with a minimum
configuration of two (2) voice grade channels and one unassigned
telephone number per NEVADA switch. Transport facilities arranged for
INP-FlexDID may not be mixed with any other type of trunk group.
Outgoing calls may not be placed over facilities arranged for
INP-FlexDID service.
1.3.2.3 SS7 Signaling is not available on the INP-FlexDID
facilities.
1.4 Interco any Terminating Compensation
With regard to the division of intercompany compensation and switched
access revenues associated with interim number portability, the Porting
Party shall pay the Ported-to-Party $1.75 per month for each business
line and $1.25 per month for each residence line associated with the
INP arrangement. Determination of the number of lines to which the
above payment shall apply will be made at the time
the INP arrangement is established. Such payment shall continue until the INP
arrangement is disconnected or PNP is made available for the INP number,
whichever occurs first. Such amount is in consideration of the Switched Access
compensation and reciprocal compensation that would have been received by each
Party if PNP had been in effect.
1.5 Pricin
1.5.1 The Parties will comply with all effective FCC, Commission
and/or court orders governing INP cost recovery and compensation. The
Parties acknowledge that the Telephone Number Portability Order is
subject to pending Petitions for Reconsideration and may be appealed.
As such, the Number Portability Order may be reconsidered, revised and
remanded, or vacated, subject to further proceedings before the FCC.
As such, until a final decision is rendered on INP cost recovery, the
Parties agree to track the costs associated with the implementation
and provision of INP and to "true-up" INP-related accruals to reflect
the final terms of any such order.
1.5.2 Neither Party waives its rights to advocate its views on INP
cost recovery, or to present its views before any appropriate
regulatory agency.
1.5.3 Charges associated with the Provision of INP are described in
Appendix PRICING.
2. PERMANENT NUMBER PORTABILITY ("PNP")
2.1 General
The FCCs Telephone Number Portability, CC Docket No. 95-116,
First Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, 12 FCC
Rcd. 7236 (1997), requires " . . all LECs to implement a long
term service provider portability method in the 100 largest
Metropolitan Statistical Areas ("MSA") according to a phased
schedule that commences October 1, 1997, and concludes
December 31, 1998." While the FCC declined " . . . (to]
choose[s] a particular technology for providing number
portability", it did establish performance criteria that LECs
must meet. The technology that meets the FCC's performance
criteria is Location Routing Number ("LRN"). LRN is currently
being used by the telecommunications industry to provide PNP.
2.2 Terms and Conditions Under Which NEVADA Shall Provide PNP
2.2.1 Service Provided
2.2. 1.1 NEVADA will provide CLEC the use of NEVADA's PNP
database via the Service Provider Number Portability ("SPNP")
Database Query. CLEC's STP, Tandem, and/or End Office's LRN software will
determine the need for accessing NEVADA's PNP database, and triggers the query.
NEVADA's PNP database will determine if the number has, or has not, been ported
and will provide LRN if a number is ported.
2.2.1.2 NEVADA will provide CLEC the use of th NEVADA PNP database,
PNP software, and SS7 network via the SPNP Query.
2.2.1.3 NEVADA shall only provide PNP services and facilities where
technically feasible, subject to the availability of facilities, and
only from properly equipped central offices.
2.2.1.4 NEVADA does not offer PNP services and facilities for NXX
codes 555, and 950.
2.2.2 Obligations Of NEVADA
2.2.2.1 NEVADA will deploy LRN in the followin MSAs per the timelines
set forth by the FCC, unless such timelines are extended by the FCC:
MSA DEPLOYNENT COMPLETED BY
Las Vegas June 30, 1998 *
2.2.2.2 After December 31, 1998, NEVADA will deploy LRN in other
MSAs within six (6) months after receipt of a Bona Fide
Request (see ATTACHMENT 1) from CLEC.
2.2.3 Obligations of CLEC
2.2.3.1 When purchasing the SPNP Database Query, CLEC will access
NEVADA's facilities via an SS7 link (Section 6 of FCC No. 1 Access
Service Tariff) to NEVADA's STP.
2.2.3.2 When purchasing the SPNP Query - Prearranged, CLEC will advise
NEVADA of the entry point(s) of queries to NEVADA's network and
provide a query forecast for each entry point.
* If one or more switches are selected to become PNP capable
2.2.3.3 CLEC is responsible for advising the Number Portability
Administration Center ("NPAC"), of telephone numbers that they import,
and the associated data as identified in industry forums as being
required for PNP.
2.2.3.4 After the initial deployment of PNP in an MSA, CLEC shall
submit a Bona Fide Request (see ATTACHMENT 1) to request that a NEVADA
switch become LRN capable. The requested switch will be made LRN
capable within the time frame stipulated by the FCC.
2.2.3.5 When CLEC requests that an NXX in an LRN-capabl NEVADA switch
become portable, CLEC shall follow the industry standard LERG
procedures.
2.2.3.6 CLEC shall be certified by the Regional NPAC prior to
scheduling Intercompany testing of PNP.
2.2.3.7 CLEC shall adhere to NEVADA's Local Service Request ("LSR")
format and PNP due date intervals.
2.2.3.8 CLEC shall adhere to NEVADA's reserved number terms and
conditions.
2.2.4 Obligations of Both Parties
2.2.4.1 When a ported telephone number becomes vacant, e.g., the
telephone number is no longer in service by the original End User, the
ported telephone number will be released back to the carrier owning
the switch in which the telephone number's NXX is native.
2.2.4.2 Each Party has the right to block a default routed call
entering a network in order to protect the public switched network
from overload, congestion, or failure propagation.
2.2.4.3 Industry guidelines shall be followed regarding all aspects of
porting numbers from one network to another.
2.2.4.4 Intracompany testing shall be performed prior t scheduling of
intercompany testing.
2.2.4.5 Each Party shall designate a single point of contact ("SPOC")
to schedule and perform required testing. These tests will be
performed during a mutually agreed upon time frame and must meet the
criteria set forth by the Pacific West Region for porting.
2.2.4.6 Each Party shall abide by NANC and Pacific West Region
provisioning and implementation processes.
2.2.4.7 The Parties agree to implement PNP in compliance with the FCC
or Commission orders, and pursuant to PUBL-780050-PB/NB, Pacific
Xxxx/Nevada Xxxx Number Portability Network Interface Specification.
2.2.5 Limitations Of Service
2.2.5.1 Telephone numbers can be ported only within NEVADA wire
centers as approved by the State Commission.
2.2.5.2 Telephone numbers in the following NEVADA NXXs shall not be
ported:
(a) wireless NXXs.
2.2.5.3 Telephone numbers with NXXs dedicated to High Volume Call In
("HVCI") networks are not portable via LRN. HVCI numbers will be
ported as described in Section 4 of this Appendix.
2.2.6 Service Descriptions
2.2.6.1 The switch's LRN software determines if the called party is in
a portable NXX. If the called party is in a portable NXX, a query is
launched to the PNP database to determine whether or not the called
number is ported.
2.2.6.2 When the called number with a portable NXX is ported, an LRN
is returned to the switch that launched the query. Per industry
standards, the LRN appears in the CdPN ("Called Party Number") field
of the SS7 message and the called number then appears in the GAP
("Generic Address Parameters") field.
2.2.6.3 When the called number with a portable NXX is not ported, the
call is completed as in the pre-PNP environment.
2.2.6.4 The FCI ("Forward Call Identifier") field's entry is changed
from 0 to 1 by the switch triggering the query when a query is made,
regardless of whether the called number is ported or not.
2.2.6.5 The N- I carrier (N carrier is the responsible Party for
terminating a call to the End User) has the responsibility to
determine if a query is required, to launch the query, and to route
the call to the switch or network in which the telephone number
resides.
2.2.6.6 If CLEC chooses not to fulfill their N-1 xxxxxx
responsibility, NEVADA will perform queries on calls to telephone
numbers with portable NXXs received from the N- I carrier and route
the call to the switch or network in which the telephone number
resides.
2.2.6.7 CLEC shall be responsible for payment of charge to NEVADA for
any queries made on the N-1 carrier's behalf
2.2.7 Pricing
The price of PNP queries shall be the same as those in the FCC No. 1
Access Services Tariff, Section 19.
3. INP TO PNP TRANSITION
3.1 NEVADA will deploy LRN in the switches requested as a result of
the State Commission's poll of CLECs to name the switches in which
they want LRN deployed.
3.2 CLECs shall issue LSRs to change their existing INP accounts to
PNP within a 90 day window for all the selected switches in an MSA
which starts immediately after the PNP Phase completes for that MSA,
e.g., for all selected switches in the Los Angeles MSA the window
starts 7/19/98 and completes 10/17/98.
3.3 New requests for INP will not be provided in a NEVADA switch once
LRN has been deployed in that switch.
3.4 The Parties shall coordinate each MSA's transition from INP to
PNP. When a service provider's INP lines exceed eight (8) in an NXX
and/or fifty (50) lines in a MSA, they shall send advance notice to
the owner of the switch(es) in which those TNs are homed, indicating
the volume of orders involved in the INP to PNP transition.
4. MASS CALLING CODES
4.1 General
Mass calling codes, i.e., High Volume Call-In ("HVCI") NXXs, are used
in a network serving arrangement provided by NEVADA in special
circumstances
where large numbers of incoming calls are solicited by an End User and the
number of calls far exceeds the switching capacity of the terminating office,
the number of lines available for terminating those calls, and/or the STP's
query capacity to the PNP database. The following two different sets of End User
objectives usually create this condition:
(a) low call completion; and
(b) high call completion.
Given the potentially hazardous effect calling conditions of this nature could
have on the network, NEVADA will provide mass calling code portability using a
non-LRN solution.
4.2 Service Provided
4.2.1 NEVADA will offer the ability to port telephone numbers with a
mass calling NXX code via the use of pseudo codes or route index
numbers. In this non-LRN scenario, calls to the NEVADA mass calling
NXX code will leave the originating end office over dedicated NT trunk
groups to the NEVADA mass calling tandem. The mass calling tandem will
then route the calls over dedicated MF trunks to the NEVADA HVCI
serving office. The HVCI serving office will translate the dialed mass
calling number to a non-dialable pseudo code or a route index number
that mutes the call to the mass calling customer.
4.2.2 When a CLEC requests that a NEVADA number with a mass calling
NXX code be ported to their network, NEVADA will build translations at
the HVCI serving office to route the incoming calls to a CLEC provided
dedicated Direct Inward Dial (DID) MY trunk group from the HVCI
serving office to the CLEC central office.
4.3 Obligations of NEVADA
4.3.1 NEVADA will port its numbers with mass calling NXXS upon request
by the CLEC. Non-LRN porting will be done via pseudo code or route
index translation in the NEVADA HVCI serving office rather than STP
queries to the PNP database. This method of porting mass call numbers
will be used during both INP and PNP period in each market.
4.3.2 NEVADA will not charge the CLEC for the use of its HVCI network
by the CLEC's mass calling customer. In exchange, NEVADA will not pay
intercompany terminating compensation for terminating minutes of use
(MOU) for ported HVCI calls.
4.4 Obligations of CLEC
4.4.1 CLEC shall adhere to NEVADA's Local Service Request (LSR) format and mass
calling due date intervals.
4.4.2 The CLEC shall provide the facility and DID trunk group
from the NEVADA HVCI serving office to the CLEC's serving
office. The CLEC shall size this one-way MF trunk group.
4.4.3 The CLEC shall forego any inter-company terminating MOU
compensation for termination calls coming in on this trunk
group.
4.5 CLEC Mass Calling Codes
4.5.1 Should the CLEC assign a mass calling NXX code(s) and
establish a mass calling interface for traffic destined to
its HVCI serving office(s), the CLEC shall home its HVCI
serving office(s) on a NEVADA mass calling tandem and a
similar mass calling trunking arrangement (one-way outgoing
with MF signaling) will be provided from NEVADA's tandem to
the CLEC. In order to allow the Parties time to order and
install such mass calling trunks, the CLEC shall provide
NEVADA notification of its intention to deploy mass calling
NXX code(s) at least 90 days before such codes are opened in
the LERG. See Appendix ITR for more information regarding
this mass local interconnection trunk group.
4.5.2 MF and SS7 trunk groups shall not be provided within a DS1
facility. A separate DS1 facility per signaling type shall
be used. Where NEVADA and CLEC both provide mass calling
trunking, both Parties' mass calling trunks may ride the
same DS I facility.
4.6 Limitations of Service
CLEC shall adhere to NEVADA's reserved number terms and
conditions. When a ported number with a mass calling NXX
code becomes vacant, e.g., the ported number is no longer in
service by the original end user, the ported number shall be
released back to the carrier owning the switch in which the
telephone number's NXX is native.
5. PROVISION OF INP AND PNP BY CLEC TO NEVADA
CLEC shall provide INP and PNP to NEVADA under no less favorable terms and
conditions as when NEVADA provides such services to CLEC.
ATTACHMENT I
PERMANENT NUMBER PORTABILITY ("PNP")
BONA FIDE REQUEST ("BFR") PROCESS
The Permanent Number Portability ("PNP") Bona Fide Request ("BFR") is a process
which Competitive Local Exchange Carriers ("CLECs") shall use to request that
PNP be deployed:
(a) in a Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") beyond the 100 largest MSAs
in the country, and
(b) in additional switch(es) in an MSA in which PNP has been deployed. Per the
FCC's First Report And Order And Further Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking
(July, 1996, paragraph 80), CLEC can request that PNP be deployed in
additional MSAs beginning January 1, 1999. NEVADA is to provide PNP in that
MSA in the requested switches within six (6) months of receipt of a BFR.
Per the FCC's First Memorandum Opinion And Order On Reconsideration (March,
1997, 165,66), switches that were not requested to be PNP capable in the initial
PNP deployment in the top 100 MSAs can be requested to be made PNP capable. The
following time frames begin after an MSA's phase end date has been reached:
(a) equipped DNCF switches within 30 days
(b) hardware capable switches within 60 days
(c) capable switches requiring hardware within 180 days
(d) non-capable switches within 180 days
These time frames begin after the receipt of a BFR.
ATTACHMENT 1
REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF PNP SOFTWARE
The request to make one or more switches in an MSA PNP capable shall be made in
the form of a letter from CLEC to its NEVADA Account Manager which shall specify
the following:
(a) the MSA in which requested switch(es) are located;
(b) the- switch(es), by CLLI code, that are to become PNP capable;
(c) the date when PNP capability is requested with the FCC established time
frames being the least amount of time; and
(d) the projected quantity of queries that result from this new capability with
a demand forecast per Tandem or End Office with which CLEC interconnects.
An initial response from NEVADA's Account Manager, acknowledging receipt of the
BFR and the date when requested switch(es) will be PNP capable, must be made to
CLEC within ten (10) business days of receipt of the BFR.

OPERATOR SERVICES
This Appendix sets forth the terms and conditions under which Nevada Xxxx
("NEVADA") agrees to provide nondiscriminatory access to Operator Services for
CLEC.
1. SERVICES
NEVADA will provide the following Operator Services:
1.1 Fully Automated Call Processing
Allows the caller to complete a call utilizing equipment without the
assistance of NEVADA's operator, hereafter called "Operator."
This allows the caller the option of inputting calling card
numbers using the Mechanized Calling Card Service ("MCCS").
1.2 Operator-Assisted Call Processing
Allows the caller to complete a call by receiving assistance
from an Operator.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Fully Automated Call Processin
NEVADA will support the following fully automated call types for CLEC:
2.1.1 Fully Automated Calling Card Station-To-Station
This service is provided when the caller dials zero ("0'% plus
the desired telephone number and the telecommunications
calling card number to which the call is to be charged. The
call is completed without the assistance of an Operator. An
authorized telecommunications calling card for the purpose of
this Appendix is one for which NEVADA can perform billing
validation. Fully- Automated Calling Card Call Service may
also include the following situations:
(a) When an individual with a disability dials zero ("0") and
identifies himself or herself as disabled, he or she will
provide the Operator the desired telephone number and the
calling card number to which the call is to be billed.
(b) When due to trouble-on the network, or lack of service
components (facilities to the MCCS network), the automated
call processing cannot be completed without assistance from
an Operator.
(c) When an Operator reestablishes an interrupted call that
meets any
of the situations described in this call type.
2.2 Operator-Assisted Call Processin
NEVADA will support the following operator-assisted call types for
CLEC:
2.2.1 Semi-Automated Station-To-Station
A service provided when the caller dials zero ("0") plus the
telephone number desired and the call is completed with the
assistance of an Operator. Semi-Automated Station-to-Station
service may also include the following situations:
(a) Where the caller does not dial zero ("0") prior to calling the
number desired from a public or semi-public telephone, or from
a telephone where the call is routed directly to an Operator
(excluding calling card calls).
(b) When an Operator re-establishes an interrupted call that
meets any
of the situations described in this call type.
2.2.2 Semi-Automated Person-To-Person
A service in which the caller dials zero ("0") plus the telephone
number desired and specifies to the Operator the particular person to
be reached or a particular PBX station, department or office to be
reached through a PBX attendant. This service applies even if the
caller agrees, after the connection is established, to speak to any
party other than the party previously specified. Semi- Automated
Person-to- Person service may also include:
(a) Where the caller does not dial a zero ("0") prior to dialing the
number from a public or semi-public telephone, or where the call is
routed directly to an Operator.
(b) When an operator reestablishes an interrupted call that
meets any
of the situations described in this call type.
2.2.3 Semi-Automated Calling Card Station-To-Station
A service provided when the caller dials zero ("0") plus the desired
telephone number and provides the Operator the calling card number to
which the call is to be charged. Semi-Automated Calling Card
Station-toStation service may also include the following situations:
(a) When the caller does not dial zero ("0") prior to dialing the number
desired from a public or semi-public telephone, or from a telephone
that is directly routed to an Operator, and the call is billed to a
calling card.
(b) When an Operator reestablishes an interrupted call that
meets any
of the situations described in this call type.
2.2.4 Station-To-Station ("Operator Handled")
A service provided when the caller dials zero ("0") and places a sent
paid, collect, third number or calling card station-to-station call
using an Operator's assistance. These calls may originate from a
private, public or semi-public telephone. The service may also include
the situation when an Operator reestablishes an interrupted call that
meets any of the situations described in this call type.
2.2.5 Person-To-Person ("Operator Handled")
A service in which the caller dials zero ("0") and specifies to the
Operator the number desired and the person to be reached, or a
particular PBX station, department or office to be reached through a
PBX attendant. The call remains a person-to-person call even if the
caller agrees, after the connection is established, to speak to any
party other than the party previously specified. The service may also
include situations when an Operator reestablishes an interrupted call
that meets any of the situations described in this call type.
2.2.6 Line Status Verification
A service in which the caller asks the Operator to determine the
condition of a telephone line.
2.2.7 Busy Line Interrupt
A service in which the caller asks the Operator to interrupt a
conversation in progress, to determine if one of the parties is willing
to speak to the caller requesting the interrupt. A Busy Line Interrupt
charge will apply even if no conversation is in progress at the time of
the interrupt attempt, or when the parties interrupted refuse to
terminate the conversation in progress.
2.2.8 Miscellaneous
Includes the following call types: General Assistance 800, 888 and
connections to all other Toll Free services, CLEC Repair Bureau and
Business Office requests, credit requests, NPA-NXX location requests,
and all other 0- No Attempt services.
3. CALL BRANDING AND RATE REFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Requirements
Pursuant to Section 226 (b) of The Telecommunications Act of 1996, each
provider of Operator Services is required to:
(a) provide its brand at the beginning of each telephone call and
before the consumer incurs any charge for the call; and (b) disclose
immediately to the consumer, upon request, a quote of its rates or
charges for the call.
3.2 Call Brandin
Currently NEVADA is unable to provide unique branding for
CLEC. All OS calls will be unbranded. When NEVADA has the
capability to uniquely brand CLEC's OS calls, the Parties
shall negotiate the specific price, terms and conditions for
this service.
3.3 Operator Services ("OS") Rate/Reference Information
Currently, NEVADA is unable to provide unique Rate/Reference
Information.
When NEVADA has the capability to provide unique
Rate/Reference Information for CLECs, the Parties shall
negotiate the specific price, terms and conditions for this
service. In the interim, CLEC specific rate quotes will only
be provided when CLEC's OS Rates exactly mirror NEVADA rates.
To the extent CLEC provides NEVADA its customer service center
number, NEVADA will provide such referral number to CLEC's End
User customer for all other rate quotes.
4. HANDLING OF EMERGENCY CALLS TO OPERATOR
To the extent CLEC's NXX encompasses multiple emergency agencies,
NEVADA will agree to query the caller on his/her community and to
transfer the caller to the appropriate emergency agency for the
caller's area. CLEC must provide NEVADA with the correct information to
enable the transfer. CLEC will also provide default emergency agency
numbers to use when the customer is unable to provide his/her
community. When the assistance of another Carrier's operator is
required, NEVADA will attempt to reach the appropriate operator if the
network facilities for inward assistance exist. CLEC agrees to
indemnify NEVADA for any misdirected calls.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES
5.1 NEVADA will be the sole provider of Operator Services fo CLEC's
local service area(s) beginning on the service effective date. NEVADA
will provide Operator Services only where the necessary physical
facilities are available and in place and under conditions previously
stated in this Appendix.
5.2 CLEC will be responsible for providing the equipment and
facilities necessary for signaling and routing calls with Automatic
Number Identification ("ANI") to each NEVADA operator switch. Should
CLEC seek to provide interexchange Operator Services under this
agreement, it is responsible for ordering the necessary facilities
through NEVADA's interstate or intrastate Access Service tariffs.
Nothing in this agreement in any way changes the manner in which an
interexchange carrier obtains access service for the purpose of
originating or terminating interexchange traffic.
5.3 Except where CLEC is purchasing Unbundled Local Switchin ("ULS")
Port as defined in Appendix UNE, CLEC must separately purchase TOPS
Access at a DS-1 level to connect its switch to NEVADA's TOPS switch
for purposes of delivering operator traffic. 5.3.1 NEVADA will provide
nondiscriminatory access to Operator Services via any of the following
methods
(a) CLEC provides its own facilities and orders OS trunks and TOPS
Access from NEVADA;
(b) CLEC is collocated in the Wire Center where NEVADA's TOPS
switch is located and purchases Expanded Interconnection Service
Channel Termination from NEVADA's tariff FCC 1, Section 18 in addition
to the TOPS Access and OS trunks; or
(c) CLEC purchases facilities, OS trunks and TOPS Access from
NEVADA.
5.3.2 Rates for TOPS Access are displayed in Appendix PRICING. Rates,
terms and conditions for NEVADA's facilities and OS trunks are
available per NEVADA's tariff P.S.C.N. C.
5.3.3 TOPS trunking requirements are described in Appendix ITR.
5.4 Facilities necessary for the provision of Operator Services shall
be provided by the Parties hereto, using standard trunk traffic
engineering procedures to insure that the objective grade of service
is met. Each Party shall bear the costs for its own facilities and
equipment.
5.5 CLEC will furnish to NEVADA a completed Operator Services
questionnaire, forty-five (45) days in advance of the date when the
Operator Services are to be undertaken, unless otherwise agreed to by
the Parties.
5.6 CLEC will provide NEVADA timely updates to the OS questionnaire
when changes are necessary. CLEC will provide any necessary records
and changes to records to NEVADA in writing or in any other mutually
agreeable format.
5.7 NEVADA will accumulate and provide CLEC such data as necessary for
CLEC to xxxx its End Users.
6. METHODS AND PRACTICES
NEVADA will provide the Operator Services to CLEC's End Users in
accordance with NEVADA's OS methods and practices in effect for NEVADA
at the time the OS call is made, unless otherwise agreed in writing by
both Parties.
7. PRICING
Pricing for Operator Services shall be based on the rates specified in Exhibit
I, which is attached and made part of this Appendix, and Appendix PRICING. The
rates will apply from the service effective date through the term of this
agreement as specified in Section 10.1 below. At any time beyond the specified
or the term of this Appendix, NEVADA may change the prices for the provision of
OS upon one hundred-twenty (120) days' notice to CLEC.
8. MONTHLY BILLING
NEVADA will render monthly billing statements to CLEC, and remittance
in full will be due within thirty (30) days of receipt.
9. LIABILITY
In addition to the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of the
Agreement, CLEC also agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
NEVADA from any claim, demand or suit that asserts any infringement or invasion
of privacy or confidentiality of any person or persons caused or claimed to be
caused, directly, or indirectly, by NEVADA employees and equipment associated
with provision of the Operator Services. This provision includes but is not
limited to suits arising from disclosure of the telephone number, address, or
name associated with the telephone called or the telephone used to call the
Operator Services.
10. TERM OF APPENDIX
10.1 This Appendix will continue in force for the length of the
Interconnection Agreement, but no less than 12 months. Thereafter,
either Party may terminate this agreement upon 90 days written notice
to the other Party.
10.2 If CLEC terminates this agreement prior to the first twelve (12)
months, CLEC shall pay, within thirty (30) days of the issuance of a
final xxxx by NEVADA, all amounts due for actual services provided
under this Appendix, plus estimated monthly charges for the remainder
of the term. Estimated charges will be based on an average of the
actual monthly amounts billed by NEVADA pursuant to this Appendix
prior to its termination.
10.3 The rates applicable for determining the amount(s) under the terms
outlined in this Section are those specified in Exhibit I attached hereto and
incorporated by reference and in Appendix PRICING.
APPENDIX OSS-RESALE & UNE
ACCESS TO OPERATIONS SUPPORT SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS
1. General Conditions
1.1 This Appendix sets forth the terms and conditions under which
NEVADA provides nondiscriminatory access to NEVADA'S operations support systems
(OSS) "functions" to CLEC for pre- ordering, ordering, provisioning, maintenance
/ repair, and billing. NEVADA has established performance measurements to
illustrate non-discriminatory access. These measurements are represented in
Appendix Performance Measurements.
1.2 Resale and Unbundled Network Elements (UNE) functions, will be
accessible via electronic interface, as described herein, where such functions
are available. Manual access is available for all pre-ordering, ordering,
provisioning, and billing functions via the Local Service Center (LSC). Repair
and maintenance functions are available in a manual mode through the Local
Operations Center (LOC).
1.3 CLEC agrees to utilize NEVADA electronic interfaces, as described
herein , only for the purposes of establishing and maintaining Resale services
or UNEs through NEVADA. In addition, CLEC agrees that such use will comply with
the summary of SBC's security practices as attached on the user ID request form.
Failure to comply with such security guidelines may result in forfeiture of
electronic access to OSS functionality.
1.4 CLEC's access to pre-order functions described in 2.2.2 and 2.3.2
will only be used to view Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) of
another carrier's end-user where CLEC has obtained an authorization for release
of CPNI from the end user and has obtained an authorization to become the end
user's local service provider. The authorization for release of CPNI must
substantially reflect the following:
1.4.1 "This written consent serves as instruction to all
holders of my local exchange telecommunications Customer Proprietary Network
Information (CPNI) and account identification information to provide such
information to the undersigned. Specifically, I authorize disclosure of my
account billing name, billing address, and directory listing information, and
CPNI, including, service address, service and feature subscription, long
distance carrier identity, and all pending service order activity. This
Authorization remains in effect until such time that I revoke it directly or
appoint another individual/company with such capacity or undersigned receives
notice to disconnect my local exchange service or notice that a service
disconnect has been performed. At and from such time, this Authorization is null
and void."
Or
1.4.2 Authorization for change in local exchange service and
release of CPNI with documentation that adheres to all requirements of state and
federal law, as applicable.
1.5 By utilizing electronic interfaces to access OSS functions,
CLEC agrees to
perform accurate and correct ordering as it relates to the application of Resale
rates and charges where they are subject to the terms of this Interconnection
Agreement and applicable NEVADA tariffs, and CLEC agrees to perform accurate and
correct ordering as it relates to NEVADA UNE rates and charges per the terms of
this Interconnection Agreement. All exception handling must be requested
manually from the LSC.
1.6 In areas where Resale and UNE. order functions are not available
via an electronic interface for the pre-order, ordering and provisioning
processes, NEVADA and CLEC will use manual processes. Should NEVADA develop
electronic interfaces for these functions for itself, NEVADA will make
electronic access available to CLEC.
1.7 The Information Services (I.S.) Call Center will provide technical
support function for electronic interfaces. CLEC will also provide a single
point of contact for technical issues related to the electronic interfaces.
1.8 NEVADA and CLEC will establish interface contingency plans and
disaster recovery plans for the pre-order, ordering and provisioning of Resale
services and UNE.
1.9 NEVADA reserves the right to modify or discontinue the use of any
system or interface as it deems appropriate. Provided however,
(a) NEVADA shall provide CLEC with at least 90 days prior written notice of any
planned discontinuance and provide CLEC with a functionally equivalent interface
to access the OSS functions for any system or interface that is discontinued.
Upon CLEC request, NEVADA shall also provide a reasonable transition period.
(b) NEVADA shall provide CLEC with reasonable prior written notice of any
significant system modifications.
1.10 If CLEC elects to utilize electronic interfaces based upon
industry guidelines for Resale or UNE, NEVADA and CLEC agree to participate in
the Order and Billing Forum (OBF) and the Telecommunications Industry Forum
(TCIF) to establish and conform to uniform industry guidelines for electronic
interfaces for pre- order, ordering, and provisioning. Neither Party waives its
rights as participants in such forums or in the implementation of the
guidelines. To achieve system functionality as quickly as possible, the Parties
acknowledge that NEVADA may deploy these interfaces with requirements developed
in advance of industry guidelines. Thus, subsequent modifications may be
necessary to comply with emerging guidelines. CLEC and NEVADA are individually
responsible for evaluating the risk of developing their respective systems in
advance of guidelines and agree to support their own system modifications to
comply with new requirements. In addition, NEVADA has the right to define LSR
Usage requirements according to the General Section 1.0, paragraph 1.4 of the
practices in the OBF Local Service Ordering Guidelines (LSOG), which states:
"Options described in this practice may not be
applicable to individual providers tariffs; therefore, use of either the field
or valid entries within the field is based on the providers tariffs/practices."
1.11 Due to enhancements and on-going development of access to the
functionalities of NEVADA'S OSS, certain interfaces described in this Appendix
may be modified, temporarily unavailable or may be phased out after execution of
this Appendix. In compliance with section 1.9 of this Appendix, NEVADA agrees
that interfaces phased out will be accompanied with proper notice. For those
interfaces that are not available at time of execution, but which will become
available after signature of this Appendix, NEVADA will provide CLEC notice of
when such interfaces will be available.
1.12 CLEC is responsible for obtaining operating system software and
hardware to access OSS functions as specified in the document "Requirements for
Access to Nevada Xxxx OSS Functions."
2. Pre-Order
2.1 NEVADA will provide real time access to pre-order functions to
support CLEC ordering of Resale services and UNE. The Parties acknowledge that
ordering requirements necessitate the use of current, real time pre-order
information to accurately build service orders. The following lists represent
pre-order functions that are available to CLEC so that CLEC order requests may
be created to comply with NEVADA ordering requirements.
2.2 Pre-ordering functions for Resale services include:

network information (CPNI) and account information for
pre-ordering will include: billing name, service address,
billing address, service and feature subscription, directory
listing information, long distance carrier identity, and
pending service order activity (CLEC agrees that CLEC's
representatives will not access the information specified in
this subsection until after the customer requests that his
or her local exchange service provider be changed to CLEC
and customer authorization for release of CPNI has been
obtained which complies with conditions as described in
section 1.4 of this Appendix.);
2.3.3 telephone number assignment (if the customer does not have one
assigned) with the customer on-line;

be available for the pre-order function of viewing the CPNI, when SORD is used
to order NEVADA resale service.
2.4.2 Resale and UNE Pre-order System Availability:
2.4.2.1 DataGate is a transaction-based data query system through
which NEVADA will provide CLEC access to pre-ordering
functions. This gateway shall be a Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) gateway and will allow
CLEC to access the pre-order functions for Resale services
and UNE by CLEC developing its own enduser interface. NEVADA
and CLEC agree to cooperate in developing and implementing
an
electronic communication interface that will be consistent with industry
guidelines developed by the OBF and the TCIF, assuming they are different from
that which NEVADA is providing.
- 2.4.2.2 Verigate is an end-user interface developed by
NEVADA that provides access to the pre-ordering functions for Resale Services
and UNE. Verigate may be used in connection with electronic or manual ordering.
Verigate will be accessible via Toolbar.
2.4.2.3 XXXX is a NEVADA system which is available to provide the CLEC with
pre- order functions for Resale Service and UNE, with the exception of viewing
CPNI. XXXX will be replaced by Verigate.
2.5 Other Pre-order Function Availability:
2.5.1 Where pre-ordering functions are not available
electronically CLEC will manually request this information from NEVADA'S LSC for
inclusion on the service order request.
3. Ordering/Provisioning
3.1 NEVADA provides real time access to ordering functions (as measured
from the time NEVADA receives accurate service requests from the interface) to
support CLEC provisioning of Resale services and UNE via one or more electronic
interfaces. To order Resale services and LNEs, CLEC will format the service
request to identify what features, services, or elements it wishes NEVADA to
provision in accordance with NEVADA ordering requirements. NEVADA will provide
CLEC access to one or more of the following systems or interfaces:
3.2 Resale Services Order Request System Availability:
3.2.1 NEVADA Xxxx Service Manager (PBSM) is available for
ordering Centrex and ISDN Resale Services.

3.3.1 NEVADA makes available to CLEC an Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) interface for transmission of NEVADA ordering requirements via
formats provided on the Local Service Request (LSR) as defined by the Ordering
and Billing Forum (OBF) and via EDI mapping as defined by TCIF. In ordering and
provisioning Resale, CLEC and NEVADA will utilize industry guidelines developed
by OBF and TCIF EDI to transmit data based upon NEVADA'S Resale ordering
requirements. In ordering and provisioning UNE CLEC and NEVADA will utilize
industry guidelines developed by OBF and TCIF EDI to transmit data
based upon NEVADAS UNE ordering requirements. In addition, Interim Number
Portability will be ordered consistent with the OBF LSR and EDI process. EDI
ordering functionality will be made available as negotiated in time frames
mutually acceptable to NEVADA and CLEC.
3.3.2 XXXXX supports the ordering of unbundled dedicated
transport and local interconnection hunks. In ordering and provisioning
unbundled dedicated transport and local interconnection hunks, CLEC and NEVADA
will utilize industry guidelines developed by OBF based upon NEVADA ordering
requirements.

interface provided by NEVADA that will provide access to the ordering functions
for Resale Services and UNE.
3.4 Provisioning for Resale services and UNE: NEVADA will provision
Resale Services and UNE as detailed in CLEC order requests. Access to status on
such orders will be provided via the following electronic interfaces:
3.4.1 When available, NEVADA Xxxx Order Dispatch (PBOD)
functions via DataGate will allow CLEC to check status of basic exchange service
orders that require field work.
3.4.2 In cases of EDI ordering, NEVADA will provide CLEC with
an EDI interface for transferring and receiving orders, Firm Order Confirmation
(FOC), service completion, and, as available, other provisioning data and
information. NEVADA will provide CLEC with a FOC for each Resale and UNE service
request. The FOC will include: purchase order number, telephone number, Local
Service Request number, due date, Service Order number, and completion date.
Upon work completion, NEVADA will provide CLEC with an 855 EDI transaction-based
Order Completion that states when that order was completed. CLEC may submit
supplement requests via the 860 EDI transaction, and, where available, NEVADA
will provide CLEC an 865 EDI transaction-based Completion notice.
4. Maintenance/Repair
4.1 Two real time electronic interfaces are accessible to place, and
check the status of trouble reports for both Resale and UNE. Upon request, CLEC
may access these functions via the following methods:
4.1.1 NEVADA Xxxx Service Manager (PBSM) allows CLECs to
perform NET, issue trouble tickets, view status, and view trouble history
on-line.
4.1.2 Electronic Bonding Interface (EBI) is an interface that is available
for trouble report submission and status updates. This EBI conforms to ANSI
guidelines T1:227:1995 and T1.228:1995, Electronic. Communications
Implementation Committee (ECIC)
Trouble Report Format Definition (TFRD) Number 1 as defined in ECIC document
ECICITRA/95-003, and all guidelines referenced within those documents, as
mutually agreed upon by CLEC and NEVADA. Functions currently implemented will
include Enter Trouble, Request Trouble- Report Status, Add Trouble Information,
Modify Trouble Report Attributes, Trouble Report Attribute Value Change
Notification, and Cancel Trouble Report, as explained in 6 and 9 of ANSI
TI.228:1995. CLEC and NEVADA will exchange requests over a mutually agreeable
X.25-based network.
5. Billing
5.1 NEVADA shall xxxx XXXX for resold services and UNE. NEVADA shall
send associated billing information to CLEC as necessary to allow CLEC to
perform billing functions. At minimum NEVADA will provide CLEC billing
information in a paper format or via magnetic tape, as agreed to between CLEC
and NEVADA.
5.2 Electronic access to billing information for Resale Services will also
be available via the following interfaces:
5.2.1 NEVADA shall provide CLECs a Usage Extract Feed
electronically, on a daily basis, with information on the usage billed to its
accounts for resale services in the industry standardized Exchange Message
Record (EMR) format.
5.3 Electronic access to billing information for UNE will also be available
via the following interfaces:
5.3.1 NEVADA makes available to CLECs a local Xxxx Data Tape
to receive data in an electronic format from its CABS database, the same
information that would appear on its paper xxxx.
5.3.2 NEVADA shall provide CLECs a Usage Extract Feed
electronically, on a daily basis, with information on the usage billed to its
accounts for UNE in the industry standardized Exchange Message Record (EMR)
format.
6. Remote Access Facility
6.1 CLEC must access the NEVADA OSS interfaces via the NEVADA Remote
Access Facility (PRAF). Connection to the PRAF will be established via a "port"'
either through dial-up or direct connection. CLEC may utilize a single port to
access these interfaces to perform the supported functions in NEVADA where CLEC
has executed an Appendix OSS and purchases System Access.
7. Operational Readiness Test (ORT) for Ordering/Provisioning and Repair/
Maintenance Interfaces
7.1 Prior to live access to interface functionality, the Parties must
conduct Operational Readiness Testing (ORT), which will allow for the testing of
the systems, interfaces, and processes for the OSS functions. ORT will be
completed in conformance with NEVADA requirements and implementation scheduling.
7.2 Prior to live system usage, CLEC must complete user education
classes for
NEVADA-provided interfaces that affect the NEVADA network. Classes are
train-the-trainer format to enable CLEC to devise its own course work for its
own employees. Charges will apply for each class. Classes will be available for
and required for PBSM, CESAR, LEX, and SORD.
Optional classes will be available for Verigate and XXXX. Schedules
will be made available
upon request and are subject to change. The length of classes vary; the
following table presents the applicable rates. Ongoing class schedules may be
requested from CLEC's account manager.

7.3 A separate agreement will be required as a commitment to pay for a
specific
number of CLEC students in each class. CLEC agrees that charges will be billed
by NEVADA and CLEC payment is due 30 days later. CLEC agrees that personnel from
other competitive Local Service Providers may be scheduled into any class to
fill any seats for which the CLEC has not contracted. Class availability is
first-come, first served with priority given to CLECs who have not yet attended
the specific class.
7.4 Class dates will based upon NEVADA availability and will be
coordinated between CLEC, NEVADA Account Manager and Product Management.
7.5 CLEC agrees to pay cancellation fee of the full price noted in the
separate agreement if CLEC cancels scheduled classes less than two weeks prior
to the scheduled start date. CLEC agrees to provide to NEVADA completed
registration forms for each student no later than one week prior to the
scheduled training class.
7.6 CLEC agrees that CLEC personnel attending classes are to utilize
only training databases and training presented to them in class. Attempts to
access any other NEVADA or SBC system are strictly prohibited.
7.7 CLEC further agrees that training material, manuals and instructor
guides 'Can be duplicated only for use internally for the purpose of training
employees to utilize capabilities of NEVADA's OSSs in accordance with this
Appendix.
8. Rates
8.1 Not forgoing the PUC of Nevada's ability to establish costing and
pricing rules for access to OSS, NEVADA and CLEC agree on the following terms in
establishment of OSS rates for access to NEVADA's OSS functions. CLEC will pay
NEVADA the OSS rate(s) that will be established within 14 calendar days from the
date NEVADA OSS rates are set forth in California Public Utilities Commission's
first rulemaking in the Open Access and Network Architecture Development (OANAD)
proceeding. Should an OSS rate(s) not be established in OANAD by September 30,
1998, CLEC will pay NEVADA the OSS rate(s) that NEVADA determine* (within 14
days) but that are based upon the methodology NEVADA uses to propose rate(s) in
OANAD. Such rates paid will be subject to true-up should the final outcome of
OANAD establish a different rate methodology. Should the PUC of Nevada set forth
a proceeding that will establish OSS rates, the terms of the section will be
modified to reflect the final outcome of such proceeding. This rate waiver is
expressly for access to OSS functions, and not applicable to any other product,
unless expressly documented in this Agreement. Neither party waives its rights
pursuant to OSS or any other product in the OANAD proceeding, nor rights in any
other product cost proceeding.
9. Effective Date
9.1 Whereas CLEC is currently operational under an existing, approved
Interconnection Agreement, this Appendix OSS will be effective, pending
commission approval, 10 days after it is filed with the state commission.
Alternatively, this Appendix will be effective upon approval by the state
commission when it is approved as a part of the Interconnection Agreement.
APPENDIX
Performance Measures
1.0 Introduction
The parties agree that the measurements set forth in this appendix, if met by
Nevada Xxxx, illustrate non- discriminatory access to Nevada Xxxx'x Operations
Support Systems (OSS) and cover the five recognized OSS functions (Pre-Ordering,
Ordering, Provisioning, Maintenance and Repair, and Billing).
The performance measures contained herein, notwithstanding any provisions in any
other appendix in this Agreement, are not intended to create, modify or
otherwise affect parties' rights and obligations. The existence of any
particular performance measure, or the language describing that measure, is not
evidence that CLEC is entitled to any particular manner of access, that these
measures relate solely to access to OSS, or is it evidence that Nevada Xxxx'x
obligations are limited to providing any particular manner of access. The
parties' rights and obligations to such access are defined elsewhere, including
the relevant laws, FCC and NPUC decisions/regulations, tariffs, and
interconnection agreements.
The Performance Measures, Remedies Plan, related auditing and review procedures
contained herein are subject to modification by final decisions of the
Commission and subsequent approval by Nevada Xxxx.
2.0 Reservation of Rights
By agreeing to the performance measures contained in this agreement, Nevada
Xxxx:
o does not make any admission regarding the propriety or
reasonableness of the NPUC establishing performance penalties;
o reserves the right to contest the level of disaggregatio for purpose
of assessing penalties by the NPUC;
o reserves the right to contend that any resulting penalties
established by the NPUC should be viewed as liquidated damages and as
the exclusive remedy for any failure of performance; and,
o does not admit that an apparent less-than-parity condition reflects
discriminatory treatment without further factual analysis.
3.0 Reporting Process
Performance reports will be made available to the CLEC by the fifteenth calendar
day of the month succeeding the reporting period (calendar month, unless
otherwise noted). If the fifteenth falls on a weekend or holiday, the reports
will be made available the next business day. Positive reporting will be done
for all measures, even those reported on an exception only basis.
CLEC will have access to monthly reports through an interactive website to
include individual CLEC data, aggregate CLEC data, and Nevada Xxxx'x data.
4.0 Auditing
CLEC and Nevada Xxxx will consult with one another and attempt in good faith to
resolve any issues regarding the accuracy or integrity of data collected,
generated, and reported pursuant to this Appendix. In the event that CLEC
requests such consultation and the issues raised by CLEC have not been resolved
within 30 days after CLEC's request for consultation, then Nevada Xxxx will
allow CLEC to commence a mini-audit, at CLEC's expense, upon providing Nevada
Xxxx 5 days advance written notice (including e-mail).
CLEC may not request more than five (5) mini-audits of performance measures
during the year and is limited to auditing five (5) single measures during the
year. CLEC will pay for the miniaudits, including Nevada Xxxx'x reasonable
associated costs and expenses, unless Nevada Xxxx is found to be misreporting or
misrepresenting data or to have non-compliant procedures, in which case, Nevada
Xxxx will pay for the mini-audit, including CLEC reasonable associated costs and
expenses. If during the mini-audit of individual measures, more than 50% of the
measures in a major service category are found to have flawed data or reporting
problems, the entire service category will be re-audited at the expense of
Nevada Xxxx. The major service categories are listed below:
o Pre-Ordering
o Ordering
o Provisioning
o Maintenance
o Network Performance
o Billing
o Database Updates
o Collocation
o Interfaces
In addition to the mini-audits, Nevada Xxxx will perform an annual comprehensive
of Nevada Xxxx'x reporting procedures and reportable data. This audit will be
performed on behalf of the aggregate of CLECs and performed by independent
auditors. The cost of the annual audit will be shared between CLEC and Nevada
Xxxx.
5.0 Review Procedures
The parties agree that as experience is acquired with Performance Measures and
underlying business processes, parties will learn which measures set forth in
Section 9.0 have not been properly defined or are more or less useful than
others. Parties also agree that experience will show whether new measures are
needed or whether certain existing measures are not needed or require
modification. Accordingly, the parties agree to review the effectiveness of and
modifications to the Performance Measures in February 2000. In the event parties
cannot agree on any addition, deletion or modification, parties will jointly
submit such dispute for resolution by the NPUC.
If, prior to the agreed-upon review date, there is consensus that one or more
measures are not effective, Parties will meet to discuss modifying the
measure(s) or process(es). If there is no consensus, the individual Party
seeking formal review by the NPUC shall give notice to the other Party of its
intent to do so. The Party will also describe the action it intends to take and
the reason(s) for its proposed actions.
6.0 Performance Remedies Plan
This section sets forth the terms and conditions by which Nevada Xxxx will pay
CLEC liquidated damages in the event Nevada Xxxx fails to meet specified
performance measures. The Parties agree and acknowledge that a) the Liquidated
Damages are not a penalty and have been determined based upon the facts and
circumstances known to the Parties at the time of the negotiation and entering
into of this Agreement, with due consideration given to the performance
expectations of each Party; b) the Liquidated Damages constitute a reasonable
approximation of the damages the CLEC would sustain if its damages were readily
ascertainable.
6.1 Sole Remedy
These liquidated damages shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of CLEC
for Nevada Xxxx'x failure to meet specified performance measures and shall be in
lieu of any other damages CLEC might otherwise seek for such breach through any
claim or suit brought under any contract or tariff.
6.2 Payments/Credits
Payments/credits are made directly to the CLEC. Nevada Xxxx'x obligations to
provide nondiscriminatory access to its operations support systems, under the
Act and under the interconnection agreements, is to the CLEC. Accordingly,
payments/credits for out of parity performance will be made to the CLEC in the
form of liquidated damages.
6.3 Sample Size
Liquidated damages only apply to those measures where the sample is large enough
to provide a valid statistical comparison. The minimum sample size is 20
occurrences per submeasure/measure per month.
6.4 Commencement Of Remedies
None of the liquidated damages provisions set forth in this Agreement will apply
during the first three months after CLEC purchases the type of service or
unbundled network elements(s) associated with a particular performance measure.
6.5 Review Period
Should performance payments be reviewed with performance measures by the NPUC,
the Parties agree to meet and negotiate any changes required to bring this
agreement into compliance with any recommendations for changes made by the NPUC.
6.6 Parity Submeasures
Generally, the measures and submeasures contained in this Appendix specify
parity with Nevada Xxxx performance (i.e., performance equal to that which
Nevada Xxxx achieves for itself) as the Performance Criterion. Performance on a
single measure or submeasure that is 1.65 standard deviations below-the level of
service that Nevada Xxxx provides to itself constitutes a failure. An increased
performance remedy is imposed when the out of parity condition remains in this
range for three consecutive months ("chronic" occurrence), or when the out of
parity condition is more than three standard deviations below the level of
Nevada Xxxx'x performance for itself (a "severe" miss).
For a chronic miss (three consecutive months) or severe miss (greater than three
standard deviations), the amount of the remedy will triple for a one month miss
greater than 1.65 or 2.36 standard deviations. In other words, in the third
month, Nevada Xxxx will pay twice that amount to the CLEC.
6.7 Benchmark Submeasures
For certain measures/submeasures, a specific quantitative target has been
adopted. Nevada Xxxx will pay for any occurrences beyond the acceptable level in
the benchmark. The chronic and severity elements analogous to those set forth
for the parity measures are also applicable.
6.8 Remedies Plan
The table below sets forth the parameters for the specific criteria under
which performance remedies will be imposed on Nevada Xxxx.
Degree of Deviation 1 month 3 consecutive months 1.65(lesser than)
S.D. plus or minus 2.36 for $125. $3750 parity submeasures (0 LT
occurrences LT or equal to 5% for benchmark submeasures) 2.36 LT SD LT
or equal to 3.0 for parity $375 $3750 submeasures (5% LT occurrences
LT or equal to 10% for benchmark submeasures) GT 3 S.D. for parity
$625 $3750 submeasures (GT 10% for benchmark submeasureel .1 1 1 1
Payments/credits are based on the number of submeasures that were out of parity
(i.e., greater than 1.65 standard deviations or those submeasures below the
benchmark) for the given submeasure, and escalated by a factor of three for
chronic and severe problems. Nevada Xxxx will receive a "forgiveness" every six
months, for each submeasure, which Nevada Xxxx can use to offset a missed
submeasure.
Limitations
Nevada Xxxx receives one forgiveness each 6 months per submeasure. Subject to
the additional limitations below, the forgiveness must be used at the first
available opportunity.
A forgiveness cannot be used immediately after a missed month. A forgiveness
cannot be used to offset a chronic (a miss three or more consecutive months) or
severe (a miss of more than 3 standard deviations) miss. A forgiveness cannot be
applied to other than the submeasure to which it is originally assigned.
Nevada Xxxx cannot accrue (hold) more than two forgiveness units, at any one
time, for any given submeasure.
6.9 Procedural Cap
If the total liquidated damages amounts computed within one month for all CLECs
exceeds $100,000, an expedited hearing will be held to determine whether the
amounts exceeding $100,000 should be paid by Nevada Xxxx. The amounts owed up to
$100,000 will be prorated and paid to CLEC. Nevada Xxxx will be required to make
the payments/credits in excess of $100,000 only if a preponderance of the
evidence shows that Nevada Xxxx engaged in negligent or intentional misconduct
and that CLEC suffered substantial competitive harm.
7.0 Exceptions
In no event will Nevada Xxxx be liable to pay liquidated damages if Nevada
Xxxx'x failure to meet or exceed any of the specified measures is caused,
directly or indirectly, by a Delaying Event. A "Delaying Event" 'means; a) a
failure by the CLEC to perform any of its obligations set forth in this
Agreement; b) any delay, act or failure to act by an end user, agent or
subcontractor of either Party-, c) any force majeure event; d) for Out of
Service Repairs for unbundled loops, where either Party lacks automatic testing
capability, or e) situations where Nevada Xxxx'x failure to meet any of the
specified measures is beyond the control of Nevada Xxxx for other reasons. If a
Delaying Event (i) prevents Nevada Xxxx from performing a specified measure,
then such specified measure will be excluded from the calculation of liquidated
damage, or (H) only suspends Nevada Xxxx'x ability to timely perform the
specified measure, the applicable time frame in which Nevada Xxxx'x compliance
with the performance criteria is measured will be extended on an hour-for-hour
or day-for-day basis, as applicable, equal to the duration of the Delaying
Event.
The most obvious of such exceptions would include items such as force majeure
events, situations where the CLEC is at fault for the apparent less-than-parity
performance result, or situations where such result is beyond the control of
Nevada Xxxx for other reasons.
In addition, there will be situations where the process is really in parity but
inherent limitations in the performance measures suggest an out of parity
condition. Nevada Xxxx will conduct a factual analysis on those atypical
situations and present the results of such analysis to CLEC within 30
days of presenting the performance results containing the apparent out of parity
condition to CLEC to show the apparent less-than-parity performance result is
not the result of discriminatory treatment.
Nevada Xxxx will also be relieved from payment of remedies for failures on
certain performance measures associated with Pre-Ordering, Ordering,
Provisioning, , Network Performance, Billing, Database Updates, Collocation,
and Interfaces, that are affected by the CLEC's failure to provide accurate
and timely forecasts. CLEC must forecast product volumes within 20% of actual
results and submit orders without discrepancies for 80% of its orders. Order
accuracy will be used to offset any amounts owed by Nevada Xxxx under this
remedies plan.

APPENDIX PHYSICAL COLLOCATION
1. GENERAL OFFERING
1.1 This Appendix sets forth the descriptions and requirements for Physical
Collocation that NEVADA offers and will provide to CLEC under this
Agreement.
1.2 Except where Physical Collocation is not practical for technical
reasons or
because of space limitations, NEVADA will provide Physical Collocation
to CLEC in accordance with this Appendix for the purposes of
interconnection to NEVADA pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 251(c)(2) and
for obtaining access to NEVADA's unbundled network elements pursuant to
47 U.S.C. Section 251(c)(3). Physical Collocation shall be provided on
a non-discriminatory basis, on a "first come, first-served" basis, and
otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the Act (including 47
U.S.C. Section 25 1 (c)(6)), and applicable FCC rules thereunder.
1.3 Unless contrary to the terms and conditions contained in this Appendix,
the terms
and conditions of this Agreement are incorporated herein by this
reference and shall apply as if set forth herein.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 CLEC Telecom Equipment
The telecommunications equipment and ancillary telecommunications
facilities that the CLEC is permitted to and does place in the Premises
as allowed by this Appendix. "CLEC Telecom Equipment" includes
telecommunications equipment necessary for interconnection to NEVADA or
access to its unbundled network elements in accordance with the Act,
applicable FCC rules, and paragraphs 579-582 of the FCC's First Report
and Order, FCC 96-325, 11 FCC Rcd 15499 (1996) ("First Interconnection
Order'). Such telecommunications equipment includes but is not limited
to:
(a) transmission equipment, such as optical terminating equipment and
multiplexers;
(b) equipment for the termination of basic transmission facilities
pursuant to
47 C.F.R. Sections 64.1401 and 64.1402 as of August 1, 1996;
and
(c) such additional telecommunications equipment that may be agreed to by
NEVADA and CLEC, or designated in future FCC or Commission decisions.
By way of example, "CLEC Telecom Equipment" includes remote switch
modules ("RSMs") and monitoring equipment installed in
216
the Premises to send data to CLEC's work center for analysis.
By way of further example and of limitation, equipment used to provide
"information services" or "enhanced services" (as each is defined by applicable
federal statutes and regulations) is not permitted to be placed by CLEC in the
Premises or in the Eligible Structure, and thus are not included within "CLEC
Telecom Equipment."
2.2 Eligible Structure
The structure in which the Premises is located, and is:
(a) a NEVADA tandem office, central office, or serving wire center; or
(b) a building or similar structure owned or leased by NEVADA that houses
its network facilities; or
(c) a structure that houses NEVADA facilities on public rights-of-way,
including, where space exists and it is not impractical for technical
reasons and not prohibited or restricted by legal obligation,
controlled environment vaults ("CEVs'~, huts, and cabinets
(i) that serve as remote terminal sites and house NEVADA
interoffice network facilities such a loop concentrators or
multiplexers; and
(ii) house interoffice network facilities.
2.3 Physical Collocation
Physical Collocation is as defined in 47 C.F.R. Section 51.5.
2.4 Physical Collocation Arrangement
Refers to a single, specific provision of Physical Collocation in a
particular
Premises.
2.5 Power
Refers to any electrical power source for use in or used within the
Premises or Eligible Structure.
2.6 Premises
The space designated for CLEC's Physical Collocation arrangement.
2.7 Virtual Collocation
Virtual Collocation is as defined in 47 C.F.R. Section 51.5.
217
3. APPLICATION
3.1 CLEC shall complete and submit, along with any application charge,
the then
standard NEVADA application for Physical Collocation. Such application
and associated instructions can be found in NEVADA's "Collocation
Services Handbook" (as defined in Section 12. 1 (b)).
3.2 If a request by CLEC for Physical Collocation or to place a specific
piece of telecommunications equipment in an Eligible Structure is
denied on the basis of that equipment, NEVADA shall prove to the
Commission that such equipment is not "necessary" (as defined by the
FCC) for interconnection to NEVADA or access to its unbundled network
elements, or that Physical Collocation of such equipment is not
practical for technical reasons or is not allowed due to legal
obligations or restrictions.
4. SPACE AVAILABILITY
4.1 NEVADA is not required to provide Physical Collocation at a
particular Eligible Structure if it demonstrates to the
Commission that Physical Collocation is not practical for
technical reasons or because of space limitations. In such
cases, NEVADA will provide Virtual Collocation, except at
points where NEVADA proves to the Commission that Virtual
Collocation is not technically feasible. If Virtual
Collocation is not technically feasible, NEVADA will provide
other methods of interconnection and access to unbundled
network elements to the extent technically feasible.
4.2 At the request of CLEC or direction of the Commission, NEVADA will
submit to the Commission detailed floor plans or diagrams of any
Eligible Structure where NEVADA claims that Physical Collocation is not
practical because of space limitations, where such plans or diagrams
exist. Where such plans or diagrams do not exist or when otherwise
agreed, NEVADA and CLEC will either agree to an alternate method of
addressing a NEVADA claim of space unavailability, or NEVADA will
comply with the Commission's direction.
4.3 NEVADA is not required to lease or construct additional space to
provide for Physical Collocation when existing space has been
exhausted. Moreover, NEVADA is not required to, nor shall this
Appendix create any obligation or expectation, to relinquish used or
forecasted space or facilities subject to the provisions hereof, or to
undertake the construction of new quarters or to construct additions
to existing quarters in order to satisfy any request for additional
space or the placement of equipment or facilities, whether through an
initial request for Physical Collocation or a subsequent request for
more space in an Eligible Structure.
218
4.4 To the extent possible, NEVADA will make contiguous space available to
CLEC if CLEC seeks to expand an existing Physical Collocation
arrangement and such request meets NEVADA's non-discriminatory
practices regarding efficient space utilization.
4.5 When planning renovations of existing Eligible Structures or
constructing or leasing new Eligible Structures, NEVADA will take into
account known projected demand for Collocation.
4.6 NEVADA may retain a limited amount of floor space for NEVADA's own
specific future uses for a time period on terms no more favorable to
NEVADA than those that apply to other telecommunications carriers,
including CLEC, seeking to reserve Collocation space for their own
future use. Except for space needed for switching equipment
"turnaround" (e.g., the installation of new switching equipment to
replace then-existing switching equipment), if any, NEVADA will
relinquish any space held for future use before denying a request for
Virtual Collocation on grounds of space limitations, unless NEVADA
proves to the Commission that Virtual Collocation at that point is not
technically feasible, including that space does not exist. In any such
event, NEVADA and CLEC will attempt to reach a mutually agreeable
alternative method of interconnection.
4.7 NEVADA may impose reasonable restrictions on its provision of
additional unused space available for Collocation (so-called
"warehousing") as described in paragraph 586 of the First
Interconnection Order; provided, however, that NEVADA shall not set a
maximum space limitation on CLEC unless NEVADA proves to the Commission
that space constraints make such restrictions necessary.
5. PREMISES AND PREPARATION
5.1 NEVADA will construct the Premises in compliance with the
Parties mutually
agreed-upon design for cable holes, ground bars, doors, and
convenience outlets.
After CLEC has made the initial preparation payment required hereunder
(with the application charge, if any, not considered a preparation
payment, initial or otherwise), NEVADA agrees to pursue diligently the
preparation of the Premises for use by CLEC.
5.2 NEVADA shall provide the following to CLEC no later than the "First
Customer Meeting," which is described in the Collocation Services
Handbook.
(a) non-architectural drawings depicting the location and dimensions of the
Premises and any physical obstructions;
(b) Telephone Equipment drawings depicting the path with dimensions for
CLEC outside plant fiber ingress/egress into the Eligible Structure and
219
Premises, if CLEC fiber is to be brought to the Physical Collocation
arrangement;
(e) NEVADA or industry technical publication guidelines that impact
the
design of CLEC Telecom Equipment;
(d) work restriction guidelines; (e) escalation process for NEVADA
representatives (names, telephone
numbers, escalation order) for any dispute or problem that might arise
pursuant to CLEC's Physical Collocation;
M- NEVADA contacts (name and telephone number) for the following
areas,
with CLEC to provide a list with counterparts for each such area:
(i) Engineering
(ii) Physical & Logical Security
(iii) Provisioning
(iv) Billing
(v) Operations
(vi) Site and/or Building Managers
5.3 NEVADA shall provide positive confirmation to CLEC when construction of
CLEC Premises is underway. No later than the second meeting of CLEC and
NEVADA representatives scheduled to address a Physical Collocation
application ("Second Customer Meeting'% NEVADA shall notify CLEC of the
scheduled completion and turnover dates, and shall provide CLEC the
following: (a) drawings depicting the path, with dimensions, for CLEC's
fiber
ingress/egress into the Premise; and
(b) power cabling connectivity information, including drawings,
identifying the sizes and number of power feeders.
5.4 CLEC and NEVADA will complete an acceptance walk-through of the
Premises prior to turning the Premises over to CLEC. Exceptions that
are noted during this acceptance walk-through shall be corrected by
NEVADA as soon as commercially reasonable after those exceptions are
provided in writing, which exceptions shall be provided no more than 5.
days after the walk through. The correction of these
220
exceptions from CLEC's Physical Collocation request shall be at
NEVADA's expense.
5.5 NEVADA shall ensure that the Premises and the Eligible Structure comply
with all applicable fire and safety codes. The preparation shall be
arranged by NEVADA in compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances,
resolutions, regulations and laws.
5.6 Movement of Premises
5.6.1 In the event that NEVADA determines it necessary for the Premises to be
moved within the Eligible Structure or to another NEVADA structure
where Physical Collocation is offered, CLEC is required to do so. In
such an event, CLEC shall be responsible for the preparation of the new
premises at the new location if such relocation arises from
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of NEVADA, including
condemnation or government order or regulation that makes the continued
occupancy of the Premises or Eligible Structure uneconomical in
NEVADA's sole judgment. Otherwise NEVADA shall be responsible for any
such preparation.
5.6.2 In the event that CLEC requests that the Premises be moved within the
Eligible Structure or to another NEVADA structure where Physical
Collocation is offered, NEVADA shall permit CLEC to relocate, subject
to the availability of space and associated requirements. CLEC shall be
responsible for all applicable charges associated with the move,
including the reinstallation of the CLEC Telecom Equipment and the
preparation of the new structure to which the Physical Collocation
arrangement is to be moved.
5.6.3 In either such event, the new premises shall be deemed the "Premises"
hereunder and the new structure the "Eligible Structure."
5.7 NEVADA agrees to negotiate CLEC requests for diversity of fiber or
power cabling on an Individual Case Basis ("ICB") basis.
5.8 Bathroom access will be provided where available in common areas.
5.9 NEVADA will contract for and perform the construction and preparation
activities underlying the "Preparation Charge," including the "Common
Charge," the "Premises Charge," and the "Subcontractor Charges," and
any "Custom Work" charges, using same or consistent practices that are
used by NEVADA for
221
other construction and preparation work performed in the Eligible
Structure.
(Each of capitalized phrases in the preceding set apart by
quotation marks are defined in Section 7.)
5.9.1 Notwithstanding the above, NEVADA will permit CLEC to
subcontract the construction of Physical Collocation
arrangements with contractors approved by NEVADA,
provided that NEVADA will not unreasonably withhold
approval of contractors. Approval by NEVADA will be
based on the same criteria NEVADA uses in approving
contractors for its own purposes.
6. TERM
6.1 Unless otherwise terminated by CLEC providing sixty (60) days'
written notice, any Physical Collocation arrangement hereunder
shall terminate when and in the same manner that this
Agreement terminates.
6.2 Unless there are unusual circumstances, a Physical Collocation
arrangement shall be established within the time frames
provided in NEVADA's Tariff FCC No. 1, Section 18, as may be
amended from time to time, which time frame is currently one
hundred eighty (180) days in most cases. NEVADA will promptly
notify CLEC upon completion of the preparation of the Premises
and will permit CLEC's use thereof as soon as such
arrangements are available.
6.3 CLEC must place CLEC Telecom Equipment in the Premises and
interconnect to
NEVADA's network or to its unbundled network elements within
sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice. If CLEC fails to
do so, NEVADA may, upon notice, terminate that Physical
Collocation arrangement, and CLEC shall be liable in an amount
equal to the unpaid balance of the charges due under and,
further, shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this
Appendix, the terms or context of which indicate continued
viability or applicability beyond termination. For purposes of
this Section, CLEC Telecom Equipment is considered to be
interconnected when physically connected to NEVADA's network
or a NEVADA unbundled network element for the purpose of CLEC
providing a telecommunications service.
7. PREMISES CHARGES

Structure where
interstate expanded interconnection is required to be provided
pursuant to 47
C.F.R. [two section symbols] 64.1401(a), 64.1401(b)shall be as set
forth in Nevada's FCC Tariff No. 1, Section 18. To the extent that any
of those charges are subject to appeal, the result of any such appeal
shall be retroactively applied to any Physical Collocation arrangement
ordered or provided under any such charge.
222
7.2 In the event that any CLEC Telecom Equipment that is to be placed in
the Premises was not contemplated by that interstate tariff (which was
based upon the requirements of 47 C.F.R. Section 64.1401), CLEC may be
subject to additional
charges
under an ICB if NEVADA's costs of providing the necessary Premises
requirements (eg., space, power, environmental, grounding) for any such
CLEC Telecom Equipment is not recovered by those tariffed rates. Any
ICB quote shall be included as part of the quote provided to the CLEC
in response to its Physical Collocation application. To the extent that
any such quote separately states a quote for subcontractor charges,
such charges shall be subject to the true-up process contemplated in
Section 7.3(f).
7.3 The charges for a Physical Collocation arrangement that is provided in
an Eligible Structure not included in Section 7.1 ("Other Eligible
Structure") shall be determined on Individual Case Basis ("ICB") in
accordance herewith.
(a) An ICB quote will be prepared and provided to CLEC after it
submits an
application for a Physical Collocation arrangement in an Other
Eligible
Structure.
(b) The quote shall consist of the following components:
(i) monthly recurring charges; and
(ii) the estimate of the one-time charge associated with preparing the
Premises for Physical Collocation (the "Preparation Charge"),
which will consist of two components: (A) the charge to CLEC associated
with modifying the Eligible Structure to provide Physical Collocation
("Common Charge'% and (B) the charge associated with preparing the
Premises ("Premises Charge"). Of the Preparation Charge, a separate
amount will be estimated for total subcontractor charges
("Subcontractor Charges"); and
(iii) any custom work charge needed to create or vacate an entrance facility
for CLEC ("Custom Work").
(c) CLEC will have sixty-five (65) business days in which to either accept
or
reject NEVADA's quote.
(d) Prior to any NEVADA obligation to start any preparation of the
Premises,
CLEC shall pay NEVADA fifty percent (50%) of the quoted Premises
Charge, fifty percent (50%) of the quoted Common Charges, and eighty
five percent (85%) of any quoted Custom Work charge. Such amounts shall
be due no later than ten (10) business days after the CLEC accepts
223
the ICB quote. If such amounts are not received, the acceptance is
deemed void and shall be treated as having not been given.
The remainder of the quoted Premises Charge, the quoted Common Charge,
and any quoted Custom Work charge are due from CLEC before NEVADA has
any obligation to permit CLEC to occupy the Premises.
NEVADA will not permit CLEC to have access to the Premises for any
purpose other than inspection until NEVADA is in receipt of complete
payment of all quoted non-recurring charges due hereunder.
Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the completion date of the
Premises, NEVADA will perform a true-up of all Subcontractor Charges
using the actual amounts billed by subcontractors. Any amounts charged
above the Subcontractor Charges will be billed to CLEC or,
alternatively, any amount below such Charges will be remitted to CLEC.
(i) Subject to an appropriate non-disclosure agreement, NEVADA
will permit CLEC to inspect supporting documents for the
Preparation Charge, including the Common Charge if CLEC is the
"initial physical collocator" (as such phrase used herein),
the Premises Charge, and any Custom Work charge. Any dispute
regarding such NEVADA charges will be subject to the dispute
resolution provisions outlined in the General Terms and
Conditions of this Agreement.
(g) The first carrier to which NEVADA provides Physical Collocation in a
particular Other Eligible Structure shall be responsible for all costs
incurred by NEVADA associated with the preparation of that Eligible
Structure to provide Physical Collocation in the space where Physical
Collocation is to be located ("Initial Common Charge"). Thereafter the
Initial Common Charge will be prorated and the prorated share refunded
to the previous physical collocator(s) if and as additional carriers
use Physical Collocation in that same Other Eligible Structure within
twelve (12) months of the first billing date of the initial monthly
recurring charge for the first physical collocator in that Other
Eligible Structure, using the following schedule:
Collocator Initial Common Charge Refund
1st 100% NA
2nd 50% 50%
3rd 33 1/3% 162/3%
4th 25% 8 1/3%
5th and beyond 0% 0%
224
To the extent that a physical collocator uses a space
other than such initial space, NEVADA shall refund to
CLEC the portion of the Initial Common Charge
applicable to such collocator based on the relative
use of such initial space in a manner consistent with
the above methodology and other terms of this
Appendix. CLEC will be charged in accordance with the
above (e.g., if CLEC is first collocator, if CLEC is
second collocator).
(h) No interest will be paid on any refund. Refunds shall be based on
the
Initial Common Charge actually paid by the first
physical collocator and, similarly, the Initial
Common Charge paid by subsequent collocators.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, NEVADA shall have no
obligation to refund any amount that would result in
NEVADA being unable to retain the full amount of the
Initial Common Charge or to refund any amount based
upon charges not actually collected.
The monthly recurring charge(s) in an Other Eligible Structure may be
increased upon thirty (30) days' notice by NEVADA.
7.4 In the event that CLEC materially breaches this Appendix by
purporting to terminate the Physical Collocation arrangement
after NEVADA has begun preparation of the Premises but before
NEVADA has been paid the entire nonrecurring amounts due under
this Appendix, then in addition to any other remedies that
NEVADA might have, CLEC shall be liable in the amount equal to
the non-recoverable costs less estimated net salvage.
Non-recoverable costs include, as applicable, the
non-recoverable cost of equipment and material ordered,
provided or used; trued-up Subcontractor Charges, the
non-recoverable cost of installation and removal, including
the costs of equipment and material ordered, provided or used;
labor, transportation and any other associated costs.
7.5 The monthly recurring charge(s) shall begin to apply no later
than the date that NEVADA sends written notice to CLEC that
NEVADA has completed the preparation of the Premises,
including to the extent possible in light of the failure by
CLEC to complete its work (eg., late in providing a fiber
optic cable to pull into the Eligible Structure). The fact
that NEVADA may have additional work to perform after CLEC
does complete its work shall not bar the start of such
charges.
8. BILLING
8.1 Payment of any amount charged hereunder shall be due thirty
(30) days from the billing date. NEVADA may change its billing
date practices upon thirty (30) days notice to CLEC.
225
8.2 In the event that any charge is not paid when due, the unpaid
amounts shall bear interest in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in NEVADA's intrastate tariff late
payment provision(s) applicable to access services, or the
highest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the
due date until paid.
9. INTERCONNECTION CHARGES
9.1 Charges for interconnection shall be as set forth in this
Agreement and any
applicable NEVADA tariffs.
9.2 NEVADA shall provide an Expanded Interconnection Service Cross
Connect ("EISCT") or applicable point-of-access cross connects
for intraoffice cross connects (described in Appendix UNE) as
requested by CLEC to meet CLEC's need for placement of CLEC
Telecom Equipment, interconnection, or provision of
telecommunications service. CLEC requests for cross connects
at transmission rates not specified in Appendix UNE are
subject to the bonafide request process described therein.
9.3 CLEC shall have the right, at the point of termination for the
cross connect, to assign the tie pair facilities and the
channels on CLEC Telecom Equipment located within the
premises, under CLEC's control, that are used for
telecommunications service in the Physical Collocation
arrangement.
10. SERVICE COORDINATION
Transferring CLEC interconnection from NEVADA's current access service
transport or entrance facilities to cross connects will be accomplished
within a mutually agreed-upon time frame; however, to ensure a smooth
transition from such access services to point of access cross connects,
CLEC must provide forecasts of its future needs for cross connect
capacity on a Premises-by-Premises basis at least ninety (90) days in
advance of CLEC's desired transition date.
11. USE OF PREMISES
11.1 The Premises are to be used by CLEC for purposes of placing
CLEC Telecom Equipment for the purposes of interconnecting
with NEVADA under 47 U.S.C. Section 251(c)(2), or obtaining
access to its unbundled network elements under 47 U.S.C.
Section 251(c)(3). Equipment used to provide "information
services" or "enhanced services" (as each is defined by
applicable federal statutes and regulations) is not permitted
to be placed by CLEC in the Premises or in the Eligible
Structure. CLEC shall not use the Premises for office, retail,
or sales purposes. No signage or markings of any kind by CLEC
shall be permitted on the Eligible Structure or
on the grounds surrounding the Eligible Structure.
226
11.2 A list of all of CLEC Telecom Equipment that will be placed within the
Premises shall be set forth on the CLEC's Physical Collocation
application, which includes associated power requirements, floor
loading, and heat release of each piece of CLEC Telecom Equipment. CLEC
wan-ants and represents that the Physical Collocation application
contains a complete and accurate list of such. CLEC Telecom Equipment,
and acknowledges that any incompleteness or inaccuracy would be a
breach of this Appendix. CLEC shall not place or leave any other
equipment or facilities within the Premises without the express written
consent of NEVADA.
11.3 In the event that subsequent to the submission of the Physical
Collocation application and its list of CLEC Telecom Equipment with the
required technical information, CLEC desires to place in the Premises
any telecommuni cations equipment or such ancillary telecommunications
facilities not so set forth in the Physical Collocation application,
CLEC shall furnish to NEVADA a new Physical Collocation application to
cover such equipment or facilities. Thereafter, consistent with its
obligations under the Act and applicable FCC and Commission rules,
orders, and awards, NEVADA may provide such written consent- or may
condition any such consent on additional charges arising from the-
request; including any engineering design charges and any additional
requirements such aspower and environmental requirements for such
requested telecommunications equipment and/or facilities. Upon the
execution by both NEVADA and CLEC of a final list and description and
receipt by NEVADA of payment of any applicable non-recurring charges,
the Physical Collocation arrangement shall be deemedto have been
amended and such requested telecommunications equipment and/or
facilities shall be included within "CLEC Telecom Equipment."
11.4 CLEC may use the Premises for placement of CLEC Telecom Equipment only.
CLEC's employees, agents and contractors shall be permitted access- to-
the Premises at all reasonable times, provided that CLEC's employees,
agents: and contractors comply with NEVADA's policies and practices
pertaining. to-- fire and security. CLEC agrees to comply promptly with
all laws, ordinances and regulations affecting the use of the Premises.
11.5 Other than the security restrictions described herein, NEVADA shall
place no restriction on access to CLEC's Premises by CLECs employees
and desi gnated Such space shall be available to CLEC designated agents
twenty-four (24) hours per day each day of the week. NEVADA will not
impose unreasonable security restrictions for the Eligible Structure,
including the Premises.
11.6 Upon the expiration of a Physical Collocation arrangement, CLEC shall
surrender the Premises to NEVADA, in the same condition as when first
occupied by CLEC, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
227
11.7 CLEC Telecom Equipment, CLEC operating practices, or other activities
or conditions attributable to CLEC that represent a significant
demonstrable technical threat to NEVADA's network, equipment, or
facilities, including the Eligible Structure, or to the network,
equipment, or facilities of any person or entity located in the
Eligible Structure, are strictly prohibited.
11.8 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the characteristics and
methods of operation of any equipment, facilities or any other item
placed in the Premises shall not interfere with or impair service over
NEVADA's network, equipment, or facilities, or the network, equipment,
or facilities of any other person or entity located in the Eligible
Structure; create hazards for or cause damage to those networks,
equipment, or facilities, the Premises, or the Eligible Structure;
impair the privacy of any communications carried in, from, or through
the Eligible Structure; or create hazards or cause physical harm to any
person, entity, or the public. Any of the foregoing events would be a
material breach of this Appendix.
11.9 NEVADA will permit CLEC to interconnect the CLEC Telecom Equipment with
other telecommunications carriers Collocating in the Eligible
Structure; provided, however, that any CLEC Telecom Equipment is also
used for interconnection with NEVADA or for access to its unbundled
network elements. NEVADA will provide such connection between CLEC and
such other Collocating telecommunication carriers via cage-to-cage
cross connections and any necessary Digital Cross Connect ("DCSS") or
other telecommunications equipment at CLEC's expense, unless NEVADA
permits one or more of the Collocating carriers to provide this
connection for themselves. NEVADA need not permit CLEC or other
collocating telecommunications carriers to place its own connecting
transmission facilities within the Eligible Structure outside of the
Premises. Rates for cage-to-cage connections are as described in
Appendix PRICING.
11.10 Subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Appendix, CLEC may
place or install in or on the Premises such fixtures and unpowered
facilities as it shall deem desirable for the conduct of business.
Personal property, fixtures and unpowered facilities placed by CLEC in
the Premises shall not become a part of the Premises, even if nailed,
screwed or otherwise fastened to the Premises, but shall retain their
status as personal property and may be removed by CLEC at any time. Any
damage caused to the Premises by the removal of such property shall be
repaired at CLEC's expense.
11. 11 In no case shall CLEC or any person or entity purporting to be
acting through or on behalf of CLEC make any- rearrangement, modification,
improvement, addition, repair, or other alteration to the Premises or the
Eligible Structure without the advance written permission and direction of
NEVADA. NEVADA
228
shall consider a modification, improvement, addition, repair, or other
alteration requested by CLEC, provided that NEVADA shall have the right to
reject or modify any such request. NEVADA will perform any such construction,
and the associated cost shall be paid by CLEC in accordance with NEVADA's
thenstandard custom work order process.

shall repair the same at its expense (as herein limited) and the
recurring
charges shall not be abated, or
(b) the Premises are rendered untenantable in whole or in part and such
damage or destruction can be repaired within ninety (90) days, NEVADA
has the option to repair the Premises at its expense (as herein
limited) and the recurring charges, shall be proportionately abated to
the extent and while CLEC was deprived of the use. If the Premises
cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days, or NEVADA opts not to
rebuild, then the Physical
233
Collocation arrangement provided in the Premises shall (upon
notice to CLEC within thirty (30) days following such
occurrence) terminate as of the date of such damage.
16.2 Any obligation on the part of NEVADA to repair the Premises shall be
limited to repairing, restoring and rebuilding the Premises as
originally prepared for CLEC and shall not include any obligation to

made by CLEC or by NEVADA on request of CLEC; any CLEC Telecom
Equipment; or other facilities or equipment located in the Premises by
CLEC or by NEVADA on request of CLEC.
16.3 In the event that the Eligible Structure shall be so damaged by fire or
other casualty that closing, demolition or substantial alteration or
reconstruction thereof shall, in NEVADA's opinion, be advisable, then,
notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected thereby, NEVADA, at
its option, may terminate any Physical Collocation arrangement in that
Eligible Structure by giving CLEC ten (10) days prior written notice
within thirty (30) days following the date of such
occurrence, if at all possible.
17.
17.1 Unless otherwise set forth herein, if CLEC shall default in performance
of any term or condition herein, and the default shall continue for
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice, or if CLEC is
declared bankrupt or insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, NEVADA may, immediately or at any time thereafter,
without notice or demand, enter and repossess the Premises, expel CLEC
and any claiming under CLEC, remove any CLEC Telecom Equipment and any
other items in the Premises, forcibly if necessary, and thereupon such
Physical Collocation arrangement shall terminate, without prejudice to
any other remedies NEVADA might have. NEVADA may exercise this
authority on a Premises-byPremises basis.
17.2 NEVADA may also refuse additional applications for collocation and/or
refuse to complete any pending orders for additional space or
collocation by CLEC at any time thereafter.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
18.1 With respect to any claim or suit -for damages arising in connection
with the mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays or errors, or
defects in transmission occurring in the course of furnishing service
hereunder, the liability of NEVADA, if any, shall not exceed an amount
equivalent to the proportionate monthly charge to CLEC for the period
during which such mistake, omission, interruption, delay, error, or
defect in transmission or service occurs and continues. However, any
234
such mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors, or defects in
transmission or service which are caused or contributed to by the negligence or
willful act of CLEC or which arise in connection with the use of CLEC-provided
facilities or equipment shall not result in the imposition of any liability
whatsoever upon NEVADA.
18.2 Neither Party shall be responsible to the other for any indirect,
special, consequential, lost profit, or punitive damages, whether in
contract or tort.
18.3 Each Party shall be indemnified and held harmless by the other against
claims and damages by any third party arising from provision of the
other Party's services or equipment except those claims and damages
directly associated with the provision of services to the other Party
which are governed by the provisioning Party's applicable tariffs.
18.4 Neither Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the customers of
the other Party for claims arising from the provision of the other
Party's service to its customers, including claims for interruption of
service, quality of service or billing disputes.
18.5 The liability of either Party for its willful misconduct, if any, is
not limited by this Appendix. With respect to any other claim or suit,
by a customer or by any others, for damages associated with the
installation, provision, preemption, termination, maintenance, repair
or restoration of service, NEVADA's liability, if any, shall not exceed
an amount equal to the proportionate monthly charge for the affected
period.
18.6 NEVADA shall not be liable for any act or omission of any other carrier
or customer providing a portion of a service, nor shall NEVADA for its
own act or omission hold liable any other carrier or customer providing
a portion of a service.
18.7 When CLEC is provided Physical Collocation under this Appendix, NEVADA
shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by CLEC against any
claim, loss or damage arising from CLEC's use of NEVADA's Premises
provided under this Appendix, involving:

arising from the customer's own communications;
(b) claims for patent infringement arising from the customer's acts
combi i g
or using the service furnished by NEVADA in connection with facilities
or equipment furnished by the customer; or
235
(c) all other claims arising in connection with any act or omission of CLEC
in
the course of using Physical Collocation provided pursuant to
this Appendix.
18.8 CLEC acknowledges and understands that NEVADA may provide
space in or access to the Eligible Structure to other persons
or entities ("Others"), which may include competitors of
CLECs; that such space or access may be close to the Premises,
possibly including space adjacent to the Premises and/or with
access to the outside of the Premises; and that any cage
placed around the Premises is a permeable boundary that will
not prevent the Others from observing or even damaging CLECs
equipment and facilities. In addition to any other applicable
limitation, NEVADA shall-have absolutely no liability with
respect to any action or omission by any Other, regardless of
the degree of culpability of any such Other or NEVADA, and
regardless of whether any claimed NEVADA liability arises in
tort or in contract. CLEC shall save and hold NEVADA harmless
from any and all costs, expenses, and claims associated with
any such acts or omission by any Other acting for, through, or
as a result of CLEC.
19. INDENMFICATION OF NEVADA

harmless from any duty to negotiate with CLEC or any of its affiliates
for any additional space or Collocation arrangement.

invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Appendix, but rather the
entire Appendix shall be construed as if not containing the particular

or to declare any breach hereof to be a default and to terminate this
Appendix prior to the expiration of its term), by virtue of any custom
or practice of the Parties at variance with the terms hereof or any
failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any right under this Appendix
or to insist upon exact compliance by the other with its obligations
hereunder, including any rule or procedure, or any waiver, forbearance,
delay, failure or omission by
242
NEVADA to exercise any right, power or option, whether of the same, similar or
different nature, with respect to one or more other CLECs.
28.8 The rights of a Party hereunder are cumulative and no exercise or
enforcement by such Party of any right or remedy hereunder shall
preclude the exercise or enforcement of any other right or remedy
hereunder or to which such Party is entitled to enforce.

executors, administrators, heirs, assigns and successors in interest.

survive the expiration or termination of this Appendix shall continue
in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding its
expiration or termination and until they are satisfied in full or by
their nature.

configuration will be provided for all of CLEC's customers in
an individual switch. Implementation of CLEC customized
Directory Assistance and/or Operator Services routing
arrangements will be on a project specific individual case
basis as mutually agreed by the Parties. Charges for dedicated
trunks are stated separately in Appendix PRICING.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF NEVADA
5.1 NEVADA shall allow CLEC to place service orders and receive phone
number assignments (for new lines). These activities shall be
accomplished by facsimile or electronic interface when established.
NEVADA, with input from CLEC, shall provide interface specifications
for electronic access for these functions to CLEC once such electronic
interfaces become technically feasible and are in place, However, CLEC
shall be responsible for modifying and connecting any of its systems
with NEVADA provided interfaces when such interfaces become available,
as outlined in Appendix OSS.
5.2 NEVADA shall implement CLEC service orders within the same time
intervals NEVADA uses to implement service orders for similar services
for its own End Users.
5.3 CLEC will have the ability to report trouble for its End Users to
appropriate NEVADA trouble reporting centers twenty-four (24) hours a
day, seven (7) days a week in the same manner as NEVADA provides for
its End Users. CLEC will be assigned a customer contact center when
initial service agreements are made. CLEC's End Users calling NEVADA
will be referred to CLEC at the number provided by CLEC. NEVADA shall
at all times be responsible for the repair and maintenance of its
network. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to authorize CLEC to
repair, maintain, or in any way touch NEVADA's network facilities,
including those on End User premises.
5.3.1 Methods and procedures for ordering and trouble reporting are
outlined in CLEC Handbook, as amended by NEVADA from time to
time. Both Parties agree to abide by the procedures contained
therein.
5.4 On no less than sixty (60) days advance written notice, CLEC may
request NEVADA to make certain usage information available to CLEC on a
daily basis in a standard electronic format as outlined in Appendix
OSS. The information will consist of usage sensitive charges NEVADA
will xxxx to CLEC arising out of
263
the -use of resold lines. CLEC agrees to pay NEVADA three tenths
of a cent ($.003) per message for this service.
5.5 NEVADA will notify CLEC of any changes in the price, terms and
conditions under which NEVADA offers Telecommunications Services at
retail to subscribers who are not telecommunications providers or
carriers, including, but not limited to, the introduction of any new
features, functions, services, promotions, grandfathering or the
discontinuance of current features or services at the time a tariff
filing is transmitted to the State Commission, or, in situations where
a tariff filing is not so transmitted, within sixty (60) days
(forty-five (45) days for price changes) of the expected effective date
of such change. 5.5.1 NEVADA currently uses the Accessible Letter
process to notify CLEC of
new services available for resale during the term of this
Agreement. The notification shall advise CLEC of the category
in which such new service shall be placed and the same
discount already applicable to CLEC in that category shall
apply to the new service. Should NEVADA change its
notification procedures to CLEC, the notice will be no less
prompt than the Accessible Letter.
5.6 CLEC End User's activation of Call Trace shall be handled by NEVADA.
NEVADA shall notify CLEC of requests by its End Users to provide the
call records to the proper authorities. Subsequent communication and
resolution of the case with CLEC's End User (whether that End User is
the victim or the suspect) will be coordinated through CLEC.
5.6.1 CLEC understands that for services where reports are
provided to law enforcement agencies (e.g., Call Trace) only
billing number and address information shall be provided. It
shall be CLEC's responsibility to provide additional
information necessary for any police investigation. CLEC
shall indemnify NEVADA against any claims that insufficient
information led to inadequate prosecution. NEVADA shall
handle law enforcement requests consistent with the
Miscellaneous-Law Enforcement Section of the General Terms
and Conditions of this Agreement.
6. RESPONSIBILITIES OF CLEC

same applicable laws and regulations.
264
6.2 Only an End User can initiate a challenge to a change in its
local exchange service provider. If an End User notifies
NEVADA or CLEC that the End User requests local exchange
service, the Party receiving such request shall be free to
immediately provide service to such End User, except in
those instances where the end user's account is local PIC
protected. It is the responsibility of the end user to
provide written authorization to the current provider of
record to remove local service provider protection before
any changes in local exchange service provider are
processed.
NEVADA shall be free to connect the End User to any local service
provider based upon the local service provider's request and local
service provider's assurance that proper End User authorization has
been obtained. Both Parties shall make authorization available to the
other Party upon request and at no charge.
6.3 When an End User changes or withdraws authorization, each Party shall
release customer-specific facilities in accordance with the End User
customer's direction or the direction of the End User's authorized
agent. Further, when an End User abandons the premises, NEVADA is free
to reclaim the facilities for use by another customer and is free to
issue service orders required to reclaim such facilities.
6.4 Neither Party shall be obligated by this Appendix to investigate any
allegations of unauthorized changes in local exchange service
("slamming") on behalf of the other Party or a third party. If NEVADA,
on behalf of CLEC, agrees to investigate an alleged incidence of
slamming, NEVADA shall charge CLEC a fifty dollar ($50) investigation
fee.
6.5 When NEVADA receives an order from CLEC for services under
this Appendix, and NEVADA is currently providing the same
services to another CLEC for the same End User, NEVADA shall
notify the End User's CLEC of record of such disconnect
activity, should CLEC subscribe to the Local Disconnect
Report ("LDR") as outlined below. It shall then be the
responsibility of the CLEC of record and CLEC to resolve any
issues related to the End User. This paragraph shall not
apply to new additional lines and services purchased by an
End User from multiple CLECs or from NEVADA.
6.5.1 When available and on no less than sixty (60) days notice, CLEC
may request the LDR. NEVADA agrees to furnish to CLEC the Billing
Telephone Number ("BTN"), Working Telephone Number ("WTN"), and
terminal number of all End Users who have disconnected CLEC's service.
CLEC understands and agrees that such information will only be
available electronically. Information will be provided on a per WTN
basis to be priced on a per WTN basis. NEVADA will provide CLEC no
less than thirty (30) days notice prior to any change of the per-WTN
charge.
265
NEVADA grants to CLEC a non-exclusive right to use the
information provided by NEVADA. CLEC will not permit anyone
but its duly authorized employees or agents to inspect or use
this information. CLEC agrees to pay NEVADA ten cents ($0.10)
per WTN and any other applicable charges for the LDR as
outlined in this Appendix.
6.6 CLEC agrees to hold harmless and indemnify NEVADA against any and all
liability and claims, including reasonable attorney's fees, that may
result from NEVADA acting under this Appendix.
6.7 CLEC is solely responsible for the payment of charges for all services
furnished under this Appendix including, but not limited to, recurring
and nonrecurring charges, calls originated or accepted at CLEC's
location and its End Users' service locations, with the exception of
any retail services provided directly by NEVADA to the End User which
NEVADA shall be responsible for billing.
6.7.1 Interexchange carried traffic (e.g., sent-paid, information services
and alternate operator services messages) received by NEVADA for
billing to resold end-user accounts will be returned as unbillable and
will not be passed on to CLEC for billing. An unbillable code returned
with those messages to the carrier will indicate that the messages
originated from a resold account and will not be billed by NEVADA.
6.7.2 In accordance with industry standards, IXC PIC selections for lines
resold to CLEC will not be processed from IXCs or End Users, but will
only be processed if received from CLEC.
6.8 NEVADA shall not be responsible for the manner in which the use of
resold service, or the associated charges are allocated to others by
CLEC. All applicable rates and charges for such services will be billed
to and shall be the responsibility of CLEC, with the exception of
retail services provided directly to the End User by NEVADA.
6.8.1 Compensation for all services shall be paid regardless of a Party's
ability or inability to collect charges from its End User for such
service.
6.9 If CLEC does not wish to be responsible for collect, third number
billed, toll, and information services (e.g., 900) calls, it must order
the appropriate blocking for .resold lines under this Appendix and pay
any applicable charges. Depending on the origination point, some calls
may bypass the blocking systems. CLEC acknowledges this limitation and
understands that CLEC is responsible for any charges associated with
such calls. CLEC acknowledges that blocking is not available for
certain types of calls, including 800/888 numbers.
266
6.10 CLEC shall be responsible for modifying and connecting any of
its systems with NEVADA provided interfaces as described in
this Appendix.
6.11 CLEC shall be responsible for providing to its End Users and
to NEVADA a telephone number or numbers that CLEC's End Users
can use to contact CLEC in the event of service or repair
requests. In the event that CLEC's End Users contact NEVADA
with regard to such requests, NEVADA shall inform the End User
that they should call CLEC and may provide CLEC's contact
number. The requirements herein are subject to additional
terms and conditions in the Coordinated Repair Calls section
of the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
7. PROCEDURES FOR NONPAYMENT AND DISCONNECTION
7.1 If CLEC fails to pay when due (within 30 days of the xxxx date), any
and all charges billed to them under this Appendix, including any late
payment charges ("Unpaid Charges") or miscellaneous charges, and any
portion of such charges remain unpaid more than fifteen (15) days after
the due date of such Unpaid Charges, NEVADA shall notify CLEC in
writing that in order to avoid having service disconnected, CLEC must
remit all Unpaid Charges to NEVADA within fourteen (14) days.
7.2 If CLEC disputes the billed charges, it shall, within the fourteen (14)
day period provided for above, inform NEVADA in writing which portion
of the charges it disputes, including the specific details and reasons
for its dispute; immediately pay to NEVADA all undisputed charges; and
pay all disputed charges into an interest bearing escrow account.
7.3 Disputes hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures
identified in the Dispute Resolution Section of the General Terms and
Conditions of this Agreement. Failure of CLEC to pay charges deemed
owed to NEVADA after conclusion of the Arbitration shall be grounds for
termination under this Section.
7.4 If any CLEC charges remain unpaid or undisputed twenty-nine (29) days
past the due date, NEVADA shall notify CLEC and the Commission in
writing, that unless all charges are paid within sixteen (16) days,
CLEC's service shall be disconnected and its End Users shall be
defaulted to NEVADA's local service. NEVADA will also suspend order
acceptance with the exception of disconnects on the same day that it
sends the letter required by the preceding sentence.
7.5 If any CLEC charges remain unpaid or undisputed forty (40) days past
the due date, CLEC shall, at its sole expense, notify its End Users and
the Commission that their service may be disconnected for CLEC failure
to pay Unpaid Charges, and that its End Users must affirmatively select
a new local service provider
267
within five (5) days. The notice shall also advise the End User that
NEVADA will assume the End User's account at the end of the five (5)
day period should the End User fail to select a new local service
provider.
7.6 If any CLEC charges remain unpaid or undisputed forty-five (45) days
past the due date, NEVADA shall disconnect CLEC and transfer all CLEC's
End Users who have not selected another local service provider directly
to NEVADA's service. These End Users shall receive the same services
provided through CLEC at the time of transfer. NEVADA shall inform the
Commission of the names of all End Users transferred through this
process. Applicable service establishment charges for switching End
Users from CLEC to NEVADA shall be assessed to CLEC.
7.7 Within five (5) days of the transfer (50 days past CLEC's due date),
NEVADA shall notify all affected End Users that because of CLEC's
failure to pay, their service is now being provided by NEVADA. NEVADA
shall also notify the End User that they have thirty (30) days to
select a local service provider, after which time should the End User
not select a local service provider, the End User's service shall be
terminated.
7.8 NEVADA may discontinue service to CLEC upon failure to pay undisputed
charges as provided in this Section, and shall have no liability to
CLEC or CLEC's End Users in the event of such disconnection.
7.9 If any End User fails to select a local service provider
within thirty (30) days of the change of providers (80 days
past CLEC's due date), NEVADA shall terminate the End User's
service. NEVADA shall notify the Commission of the names of
all End Users whose service has been terminated. The End User
shall be responsible for any and all charges incurred during
the selection period.
7.10 Nothing herein shall be interpreted to obligate NEVADA to
continue to provide service to any such End Users. Nothing
herein shall be interpreted to limit any and all disconnection
rights NEVADA may have with regard to such End Users.
7.11 After disconnect procedures have begun, NEVADA shall not
accept service orders from CLEC until all unpaid charges are
paid. NEVADA shall have the right to require a deposit equal
to one month's charges (based on the highest previous month of
service from NEVADA) prior to resuming service to CLEC after
disconnect for nonpayment.
8. INTERVENING LAW AND PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS
8.1 At the time of execution of this Agreement, NEVADA is
participating in Dockets before the Commission. The Parties have
included certain rates, terms, and/or
268
conditions in this Appendix which reflect rates, terms, and/or
conditions established in Arbitration and contained in one or more
agreements approved by the Commission. CLEC acknowledges that any
negotiations, appeal, stay, injunction or similar proceeding impacting
the applicability of those rates, terms or conditions to other CLECs
will similarly impact the applicability of those rates, terms or
conditions to CLEC (Collectively "Appeals"). If CLEC is not eligible to
receive one or more rates, terms, or conditions at any time due to such
Appeals, the Parties agree that NEVADA shall substitute the most
favorable rate(s), terms, and conditions applicable to CLEC's
activities then in place from an interconnection agreement which has
been approved by the Commission.
8.2 Moreover, if the actions of Nevada or federal legislative bodies,
courts or regulatory agencies of competent jurisdiction invalidate,
modify or stay the enforcement of laws or regulations that were the
basis for a provision of the contract which is reflective of the
Consolidated Award, the affected provision shall be invalidated,
modified or stayed. In such event, the Parties shall expend diligent
efforts to arrive at an agreement respecting the modifications to the
Agreement required. If negotiations fail, disputes between the Parties
concerning the interpretation of the actions required or the provisions
affected by such governmental actions shall be resolved pursuant to the
Dispute Resolution process provided for in the General Terms and
Conditions of this Agreement. NEVADA expressly reserves all of its
appellate rights concerning the above Appeals and does not waive any
legal arguments by executing this Appendix.

XXXXXXXX FOR THE PROVISION OF
SS7 SERVICE
This Appendix sets forth the terms and conditions under which NEVADA shall
provide to CLEC certain Common Channel Signaling/Signaling System 7 ("CCS/SS7")
services, herein referred to as "SS7 Service".
This Appendix provides for the use of NEVADA's Common Channel Signaling network,
which uses the Signaling System 7 ("SS7") protocol, and for a Dedicated
Signaling Link, which provides network interconnection to NEVADA's Signal
Transfer Points ("STPs"), including facilities. SS7 Service provides CCS/SS7
functionality and translations to support SS7 based services and applications as
they become available and as facilities permit.
SS7 Service includes the screening of messages based on origination signaling
point code and the muting of messages by NEVADA's mated pair of STPs. Services
such as STP ports and Signaling Link interconnection, and 800 Data Base Access
will be provided pursuant to this Appendix SS7, Appendix 800, and Appendix
PRICING. Arrangements for services should be made through NEVADA's Service
Center.
1. SERVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 SS7 - Transport
1.1.1 SS7 transport provides for the routing and screening of SS7 messages
from NEVADA's pair of STPs (i.e. a mated pair) to a regional pair of
STPs. The screening of messages provides for CLEC designation of
signaling points associated with CLEC and controls which messages may
be allowed or not allowed by NEVADA's ST? pairs. The routing of
messages provides for the transfer of a complete message between
signaling links, and for a Global Title Translation of the message
address, if needed.
1.1.2 SS7 transport provides routing of messages for all parts of the SS7
protocol including, for example, Message Transfer Part ("MTP")
messages, Integrated Services Digital Network User Part ("ISDNUP" or
"ISUP") messages, Signaling Connection and Control Part ("SCCP")
messages, and Transaction Capability Application Part ("TCAP")
messages. SS7 transport provides for screening and routing of signaling
messages based on the SS7
303
protocol. These messages may support other applications and services, such as,
Toll Free Database services. SS7 transport will route messages to the global
title address or to the signaling point code address of the message based on the
translation information of NEVADA's STP. These services are restricted to
NEVADA's existing database services.
1. 1.3 SS7 transport provides screening and routing of messages
that are generated by the action of CLEC's signaling point, or
messages that are generated by a signaling point connected via
CLEC's signaling point.
1.2 Signaling Links
1.2.1 Dedicated Signaling Links provide physical access to NEVADA's signaling
network. The links are fully dedicated to the use of CLEC and provide
the screening and routing usage for NEVADA's STP to which the link is
connected. Signaling Links are provided as a set of links connecting to
NEVADA's mated pair of STPs. Signaling Links are dedicated two-way
digital data circuits that interconnect NEVADA's STP locations and
CLEC's signaling points at Signaling Point of Interface ("SPOI")
locations. Signaling links are available to CLECs for their use in
furnishing SS7-based services or applications to their End Users or
other users of SS7 signaling information.
1.2.2 Signaling links must include the following elements:
1.2.2.1 Cross Connect
The Cross Connect provides a DS-0 connection and access
point for testing in NEVADA's ST? building. The cross
connect connects the STP Port Termination to CLEC's
unbundled dedicated transport, to a collocation cage or to a
STP Access Link. It must be purchased separately from
Appendix UNE.
1.2.2.2 STP Port
The STP Port is the physical termination of the signaling
link (i.e. 56 kbps circuit) at NEVADA's STP. An STP Port is
used for each 56 kbps Cross Connect terminated at NEVADA's
STP.
304
1.2.2.3 SS7 Link
The SS7 Link provides a 56 kilobit per second digital facility when
CLEC requires an interoffice facility to connect from CLEC's
Dedicated Transport or Entrance Facility to the STP building
location.
1.2.3 The STP Port shall provide for the use of NEVADA's STP to which the port
is connected.
1.2.4 CLEC shall provide the portion of the signaling link from CLEC's
premises within the LATA to NEVADA's STP location using unbundled
dedicated transport, or the optional bundled SS7 link and STP port.
CLEC shall notify NEVADA that the facility contains a signaling link
service. Multiple facilities provided by NEVADA will be identified so
that NEVADA may maintain facility diversity between links and linksets
that require diversity. CLEC shall identify the DS-1 and the channel of
a DS-1 that will be used for the signaling link.
1.2.5 CLEC shall identify to NEVADA the facility and channel to which the SS7
Link Cross Connect shall connect. If the facility does not terminate in
the STP location NEVADA shall provide a STP Link. The STP Access Link
will connect to the DS-0 Cross Connect at the STP location.
1.2.6 When CLEC uses an alternative DS-1 facility or arrangements, or agrees
to allow a physical degree of diversity or performance that is not in
accordance with the specifications of Bellcore, GR-905-CORE, NEVADA
acknowledges that the performance and reliability of the SS7 protocol
may be affected and the performance and reliability standards described
in GR-905-CORE may be disqualified.
1.2.7 Signaling links are subject to NEVADA interoperability testing and
certification requirements per the Network Operations Forum Reference
Document, per Bellcore, GR-905-CORE and per (PUB L-780023-PB/NB). First
interconnections to NEVADA's signaling network per CLEC and per
signaling point type of equipment will require CLECs completion of
NEVADA's CCS/SS7 interconnection questionnaire and pre-ordering
meetings to exchange information and schedule inter-operability testing
and pre-ordering meetings.
305
1.3 Transit Signalin
Transit signaling will provide the ability for an
Interconnecting Network ("ICY) to pass signaling information
through NEVADA's signaling network to a third party without
requiring a trunking connection by the third party with
NEVADA. The ICN will not be required to purchase signaling
links to the third party. Instead, the ICN will provide NEVADA
with information necessary to complete local calls.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Common Channel Signaling ("CCS")
A high-speed specialized packet switched communications network that is
separate (out-of-band) from the public packet switched and message
networks. CCS carries addressed signaling messages for individual trunk
circuits and/or database related services between Signaling Points (SS7
nodes) in the CCS network.
2.2 Interoperability Testin
Testing performed by representatives from NEVADA and CLEC to determine
proper interconnection of CCS network facilities for accurate
transmission of system signals and messages. This is often referred to
as TR-905 Compatibility Testing.
2.3 Octet
8-bits of binary information.
2.4 Service Control Point ("SCP")
A node in the CCS network that provides a database functionality.
2.5 Service Switching Point ("SSP")
A signaling point that can launch queries to databases and
receive/interpret responses used to provide specific End User services.
2.6 Signal Transfer Point ("STP")
A packet switch in the CCS network that is used to route SS7 protocol
signaling messages between signaling nodes. A STP provides screening
and routing of SS7 messages. STPs transfer signaling messages to other
networks. NEVADA's signaling network includes mated pairs of local and
regional STPs.
2.7 Signaling Link
An end-to-end high-capacity digital, data quality, link operating at 56
kilobits per second that transmits signaling information in the form of
306
signaling messages from one network SS7 node to another node in a CCS network.
The Link Type identifies the functionality of the signaling link sets. Signaling
links provide physical interconnection between signaling points of another party
and NEVADA's STPs.
2.8 Signaling Point ("SP")
A node in the CCS network that originates and/or receives signaling
messages, or transfers signaling messages from one signaling link to
another, or both.
2.9 Signaling Point Code ("SPC")
An identifier code that identifies a signaling point in the CCS
network. The signaling point code provides an address within the CCS
network which enables messages to be routed to signaling points.
Signaling Point Codes are 24-bit binary numbers comprised of three
segments:
(a) the Network Identification;
(b) the Network Cluster; and
(c) the Member number within the cluster.
Signaling Point Codes are represented digitally as AAA-AAA-AAA, where "AAA"
represents a decimal number from 000 to 255.
2.10 Signaling Point of Interface ("SPOI")
A mutually agreed point at which NEVADA hands off signaling
information to CLEC.
2.11 Signaling System 7 ("SS7")
See SS7 Protocol.
2.12 Signaling System 7 ("SS7") Protocol
The signaling protocol, Version 7, used by the nodes of the CCS
network. The SS7 protocol used by NEVADA is the American National
Standards Institute ("ANSI") standard protocol defined by Bellcore
Generic Requirement, GR-246-CORE, defined by Bellcore requirements
(GR-317-CORE, GR-394-CORE, GR-444-Core, GR-606-CORE, GR-82-CORE,
GR-905-CORE and various other documents) and defined by NEVADA's
Technical Publication L-780023 PB/LB.
307
3. MANNER OF PROVISIONING
3.1 SS7 Transport
3.1.1 CLEC shall use SS7 transport subject to the screening
and routing information of NEVADA's STPs. NEVADA
shall provide information to CLEC on the routes and
signaling point codes served by NEVADA's STPs.
3.1.2 SS7 transport shall route ISUP messages for the
purpose of establishing trunk voice paths between
switching machines.
3.1.3 CLEC shall route TCAP to NEVADA's "regional" ST? pair that
directly serves the database of TCAP messages.
3.1.4 When CLEC requires modification of NEVADA's SS7
Service components not otherwise provided in this
Appendix, the modifications may be furnished pursuant
to the Network Element Bona Fide Request ("BFR")
process as outlined in Appendix UNE.
3.1.5 SS7 transport provides a signaling route for messages
only to signaling points to which NEVADA has a route.
SS7 Transport does not include the provision of a
signaling route to every possible signaling point.
When NEVADA does establish a route to a signaling
point in a mated pair of STPs, the route may not be
available to other NEVADA pairs of STPs, until
ordered. When NEVADA or CLEC, pursuant to a service
order, arranges to establish a route to a signaling
point, such route to the other signaling point or
other signaling network will be used by all signaling
points within and connected to NEVADA's signaling
network per the standard requirements of the SS7
protocol.
3.1.6 Disputes concerning the association of a signaling
point among specific link sets associated with
NEVADA's mated STP will be resolved by consultation
with the signaling point owner, as defined in the
Local Exchange Routing Guide ("LERG"), Section 1,
Assignment of Signaling Point Codes.
3.2 Signaling Links
3.2.1 CLEC shall provide the signaling points and signaling point
codes associated with CLEC. CLEC shall provide information
to NEVADA to allow NEVADA to translate NEVADA STPs. The
308
information shall define the screening and routing information for the signaling
point codes of CLEC. This information may include global title address,
translation type and subsystem designations as needed.
3.2.2 NEVADA mated pairs of STPs shall connect to CLEC premises (including
collocation locations) within the same LATA. A set of links can be
either:
(a) "A" Link Sets from CLEC's Signaling Point ("SP")/Service
Switching Point ("SSP"). A minimum of two links will be
required, one from the SP/SSP to each STP; or,
(b) "B/D" Link Sets from STPs that are connected to
NEVADA's mated pair of STPs. A minimum of four links will be required
(i.e., a "quad") between the two pairs of STPs. When CLEC provides its

or facilities in conjunction with any NEVADA network element, will not
materially interfere with or impair service over any facilities of
NEVADA, its affiliated companies or its connecting and concurring
carriers involved in its services, cause damage to their plant, impair
the privacy of any communications carried over their facilities or
create hazards to the employees of any of them or the public. Upon
reasonable written notice and opportunity to cure, NEVADA may
discontinue or refuse service if CLEC violates this provision, provided
that such termination of service will be limited to CLEC's use of the
element(s) causing the violation.
2.11.6 When a NEVADA provided tariffed or resold service is replaced by CLEC's
facility based service using any NEVADA provided Unbundled Network Elements
(including service provided exclusively via NEVADA provided UNE(s)), CLEC
shall issue appropriate service requests in accordance with OBF guidelines,
to both disconnect the existing service and new connect service to CLEC's
End User. These disconnect/new connect requests will be processed by
NEVADA, and CLEC will be charged the applicable UNE service order
charge(s). Similarly, when an End User is served by one CLEC using NEVADA
provided UNEs, the requesting CLEC shall issue appropriate service requests
in accordance with OBF guidelines to both disconnect the existing service
and new connect service to the requesting CLEC's End User. These
disconnect/new connect requests will be processed by NEVADA and CLEC will
be charged the applicable service order charge(s).
2.11.7 Unbundled Network Elements may not be connected to or combined with
NEVADA access services or other NEVADA tariffed service offerings with
the exception of tariffed collocation services.
2.12 Performance of Network Elements
Nothing in this Agreement will limit either Party's ability to modify
its network through the incorporation of new equipment, new software or
otherwise. Each Party will provide the other Party written notice of
any such upgrades in its network which will materially impact the other
Party's service consistent with the timelines established by the FCC in
the Second Report and Order, CC Docket 96-98. CLEC will be solely
responsible, at its own expense, for the overall design of its
telecommunications services and for any redesigning or rearrangement of
its telecommunications; services which may be required because of
changes in
325
facilities, operations or procedure of NEVADA, minimum network protection
criteria, or operating or maintenance characteristics of the facilities.
2.13 Bona Fide Request
Various sections below identify specific Unbundled Network Elements and
provide the terms and conditions on which NEVADA will offer them to

may seek mediation or arbitration by the Commission
pursuant to Section 252 of the Act.
3. NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE
CLEC may connect its local loops to customer's inside wiring through NEVADA's
NID and an adjoining NID deployed by requesting carrier (47 CFR Section
51.319(b)(2)).
3.1 The Network Interface Device ("NID") is a cross-connect used to
connect loop facilities to inside wiring. The fundamental function of
the NID is to establish the official network demarcation point between
a carrier and its end-user customer. The NID contains the appropriate
and accessible connection points or posts to
327
which the service provider and the end-user customer each make its
connections. (Note: If CLEC purchases a NEVADA Loop, a separate NID
will not be required.)
3. 1.1 Under this Agreement, NEVADA shall offer two general types of NIDs:
3.1.1.1 Simple NID
A Simple NID is a standard network interface ("SNI") the use of which
permits the End User's inside wiring to be isolated from NEVADA's
network.
3.1.1.2 Complex NID
A Complex NID is a building terminal where an End User's inside
wiring terminates on NEVADA's network.
3.2 CLEC will provide its own NID and will interface to the customer's
premises wiring through connections in the customer chamber of the
NEVADA NID.
3.3 Unless requested by CLEC, no coordination is provided. If CLEC requests
coordination, Additional Labor Billing charges will be applied if
NEVADA incurs these costs as a result of CLEC request, as specified in
NEVADA's tariff P.S.C.N. C, Section 13. In addition, unless otherwise
agreed by CLEC and NEVADA, neither Party shall access the network side
of the other Party's ND:) unless the owning Party's service technician
is present, or unless the owning Party has already made the necessary
modifications to isolate its network.
3.3.1 Upon request, NEVADA will dispatch a technician to tag the End User's
inside wire facilities on the End User's side of the NID. In such
cases, a Premise Visit charge shall apply as specified in Appendix
PRICING, as a Dispatch without Installation of NID.

ACCESS TO THE TOLL FREE CALLING DATABASE
This Appendix sets forth the terms and conditions under which NEVADA provides
Access to the Toll Free Calling Database.
1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 NEVADA's 800 database, an ANSI SS7 call-related database
system, receives updates processed from the national System
Management System/800 ("SMS/800") database. Customer records
in the SMS/800 are created or modified by entities known as
Responsible Organizations ("RespOrd") who obtain access to the
SMS/800 via the System Management System/800 database, Tariff
FCC No. 1. 800 Service Providers must either become their own
RespOrg or use the services of an established RespOrg. The
services of a RespOrg include creating and updating 800
records in the SMS/800 to download to the 800 database(s).
NEVADA does not, either through a tariff or contract, provide
RespOrg service.
1.2 After the 800 customer record is created in the SMS/800, the
SMS/800 downloads
the records to the appropriate databases, depending on the
area of service chosen by the 800 subscriber. An 800 customer
record is created in the SMS/800 for each 800 number to be
activated. The SMS/800 initiates all routing changes to update
information on a nationwide basis.
1.3 Access to the Toll Free Calling Database allows CLEC to access
NEVADA's 800
database for the purpose of switch query and database
response. Access to the Toll Free Calling Database supports
the processing of toll free calls (e.g., 800 and 888) where
identification of the appropriate carrier (800 Service
Provider) to transport the call is dependent upon the full ten
digits of the toll free number (e.g., 1+800+NXX+X)CXX). Access
to the Toll Free Calling Database includes all 800-type
dialing plans (i.e., 800, 888, and other codes as may be
designated in the future).
1.4 Access to the Toll Free Calling Database provides the carrier
identification function required to determine the appropriate
routing of an 800 number based on the geographic origination
of the call, from a specific or any combination of NPA/NXX,
NPA or LATA call origination detail.
1.5 There are three optional features available with 800 service:
(a) POTS Translation;
(b) Multiple Destination;. and
351
(c) Six-Digit Master Number List Turnaround.
1.5.1 The POTS Translation feature converts the 800 number into a designated
10-digit number. If the 800 Service Provider provides the designated
10digit number associated with the 800 number and requests delivery of
the designated 10-digit number in place of the 800 number, NEVADA will
deliver the designated I 0-digit number.
1.5.2 The Multiple Destination feature allows the customer to create routing
schemes utilizing:
(a) Time of Day;
(b) Day of Week
(c) Day of Year
(d) Allocation of Traffic by Percentage
(e) NPA-NXX-XXXX
1.5.3 The Six-Digit Master Number List Turnaround feature
applies when customer identification is performed for
Canadian and Caribbean toll free numbers. This
feature is billed in lieu of the Basic Toll Free
Access Query charge.
2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2.1 Access to the Toll Free Calling Database provided under these terms and
conditions is only available for use in the provision of telephone
exchange and exchange access telecommunications services as specified
in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and any effective rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission and Public Utility
Commission of Nevada.
2.2 Access to the Toll Free Calling Database is offered separate and apart
from other unbundled network elements necessary for operation of the
network routing function addressed in these terms and conditions, e.g.,
end office 800 SSP functionality and CCS/SS7 signaling. This Appendix
is separate from the prices, terms, conditions and billing for such
related elements, and in no way shall this Appendix be construed to
circumvent the prices, terms, conditions or billing as specified for
such related elements.
2.3 CLEC shall address its queries to NEVADA's database to the alias point code
of the ST? pair identified by NEVADA. CLECs queries shall use subsystem
352
number 0 in the calling party address field and a translations type of 254 with
a routing indicator set to route on global title. CLEC acknowledges that such
subsystem number and translation type values are necessary for NEVADA to
properly process queries to its 800 database.
2.4 Each Party warrants to the other that it shall send queries and SS7
messages conforming to the ANSI approved standards for SS7 protocol and
pursuant to the Specifications and Standards documents attached and
incorporated herein in Exhibit I. Both Parties acknowledge that
transmission in said protocol is necessary for each Party to provision
Access to the Toll Free Calling Database (or the equivalent thereof).
Each Party reserves the right to modify its network pursuant to other
specifications and standards, which may include Bellcore Specifications
defining specific service applications, message types, and formats,
that may become necessary to meet the prevailing demands within the
U.S. telecommunications industry. All such changes shall be announced
in accordance with the then prevailing industry standard procedures.
Each Party shall work cooperatively to coordinate any necessary
changes.
2.5 CLEC acknowledges and agrees that CCS/SS7 network overload due to
extraordinary volumes of queries and/or other SS7 network messages can
and will have a detrimental effect on the performance of NEVADA's
CCS/SS7 network and its 800 database. CLEC further agrees that NEVADA,
at its sole discretion, may employ certain automatic and/or manual
overload controls within NEVADA's CCS/SS7 network to guard against
these detrimental effects. NEVADA shall report to CLEC any instances
where overload controls are invoked due to CLECs CCS/SS7 network. CLEC
shall take immediate corrective actions as are necessary to cure the
conditions causing the overload situation.
2.6 During periods of 800 database system congestion, NEVADA shall utilize
an automatic code gapping procedure to control congestion that may
affect the service of all customers of NEVADA's 800 database. The
automatic code gapping procedure used by NEVADA shall notify the CLEC's
switch of the gap length (how long CLECs switch should wait before
sending another query) and the gap duration (how long the switch should
continue to perform gapping). For example, during an overload
condition, the automatic code gapping procedures shall tell NEVADA 's
800 database when to begin to drop one out of three queries received.
This code gapping procedure shall be applied uniformly to all users of
NEVADA's 800 database. NEVADA reserves the right to manually invoke the
automatic code gapping procedure to control congestion.
2.7 Prior to NEVADA initiating service under this Appendix, CLEC shall
provide an initial forecast of busy hour query volumes. CLEC shall
update its busy hour forecast for each upcoming calendar year (January
- December) by October I of the preceding year and also whenever CLEC
anticipates a change to existing
353
forecasts. CLEC shall provide such updates each year for the first three (3)
years of this Appendix. If, prior to the establishment of a mutually agreeable
service effective date, in writing, NEVADA, at its discretion, determines that
it lacks adequate processing capability to provide Access to the Toll Free
Calling Database to CLEC, NEVADA shall notify CLEC of NEVADA's intent not to
provide the services under this Appendix and this Appendix will be void and have
no further effect.
2.8 CLEC shall from time to time at NEVADA's request, provide additional
forecasted information as deemed necessary by NEVADA for network
planning in connection with this offering.
2.9 NEVADA shall test the Access to the Toll Free Calling Database in
conjunction with CCS/SS7 Interconnection Service (e.g., SS7 Appendix)
as outlined in Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx XX-XXX-000000,
GR-954-CORE, GR-905 CORE, and PUB L-780023-PB/NB.
2.10 CLEC shall only use Access to the Toll Free Calling Database to
determine the routing requirements for originating 800 calls. Neither
CLEC nor carrier customers of CLEC, if CLEC is acting on behalf of
other carriers, shall use the database information to copy, store,
maintain or create any table or database of any kind or for any
purpose. If CLEC acts on behalf of other carriers to access NEVADA's
Toll Free Calling Database, CLEC shall prohibit such carriers from
copying, storing, maintaining, or creating any table or database of any
kind from any response provided by NEVADA after a query to NEVADA's
Toll Free Calling Database. CLEC shall only use this network element in
connection with the provision of telephone exchange and exchange access
services.
2.11 CLEC shall ensure that it has sufficient link capacity and related
facilities to handle its signaling and toll free traffic without
adversely affecting other network subscribers.
2.12 NEVADA shall provide Access to the Toll Free Calling Database as set
forth in this Appendix only as such elements are used for CLEC's
activities on behalf of its Nevada local service customers where NEVADA
is the incumbent local exchange carrier. CLEC agrees that any other use
of NEVADA's Toll Free Calling Database for the provision of 800
database service by CLEC will be pursuant to the terms, conditions,
rates, and charges of NEVADA's effective tariffs, as revised, for 800
database services.
2.13 This Appendix shall become effective on date) and shall
continue for one (1) year from the effective date of implementation of
Access to the Toll Free Calling Database. Thereafter, this Appendix
shall remain in effect unless terminated by either Party upon written
notice given sixty (60) days in advance of the termination date.
354
2.14 Ordering and billing inquiries for the elements described
herein shall be directed to the Local Service Center ("LSC").
Ordering' shall be done through the LSC using the standard
CLEC order form and NEVADA's CCS/SS7 Interconnect
Questionnaire, if applicable.
3. RATE REGULATIONS
3.1 CLEC shall pay the rates for Access to the Toll Free Calling Database,
as described in Appendix PRICING. These rates and charges will apply
for one (1) year from the service effective date for each exchange.
After one (1) year, NEVADA may change the rates upon sixty (60) days'
notice. NEVADA may first give such notice sixty days before the end of
the first year.
3.2 Rate Elements
There are four rate elements associated with Access to the Toll Free
Calling Database:
(a) Basic Toll Free Access Query Rate Element;
(b) POTS Translations Rate Element;
(c) Multiple Destination Routing Rate Element; and
(d) Six-Digit Master Number List Turnaround Rate Element.
3.3 CLEC shall pay the Basic Toll Free Access query rate for each
query received and processed by NEVADA's database. When
applicable, the charge for the additional features (POTS
Translations, Multiple Destination Routing, and Six Digit
Master Number List Turnaround) are per query and in addition
to the Basic Toll Free Access query charge, and shall also be
paid by CLEC.
4. MONTHLY BILLING
