A blocking standard of one-half of one percent (0.005) for all final trunk group traffic via tandem and a blocking standard of one percent (0.01) during the average busy hour for all other final trunk group traffic, as defined by industry standards, shall be maintained.

5.1 Local Trunk Group for the Exchange of Subject Traffic
5.1.1 Parties agree that Local Trunk groups described herein will carry only Subject Traffic.
5.1.2 Parties expressly agree that traffic not provided in 5.1.1, including but not limited to third Party traffic (including CMRS) and toll traffic, is not permitted to be carried on Local Trunk Group(s).
5.1.3 In the event Xxxxx believes that traffic terminated to it via a Local Trunk Group(s) contains non-Subject Traffic (“Misrouted Traffic”), then Xxxxx will notify TCA of the contaminated group(s) and provide results of its analysis in a written notice. The TCA will have ten (10) days from receipt of such notice to reroute the Misrouted Traffic to an access trunk to maintain treatment of traffic on the Local Trunk Group(s) as local.
5.1.4 Should the delivering Party in Section 5.1.3 above fail to correct the traffic contamination within ten (10) days pursuant to Section 5.1.3 above, Xxxxx will treat that portion of Misrouted Traffic terminated over the Local Trunk Group(s) as Interexchange Access and will bill – and TCA will pay – at rates contained in its interstate and intrastate access tariffs regardless of the technology used for the delivery of such traffic. Parties agree that the Xxxxx may bill Misrouted Traffic by deriving a Misrouted Traffic Factor and applying that factor to traffic and facilities used by TCA to deliver the Misrouted Traffic. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding the Dispute Resolution provisions of Section 15 of the General Terms & Conditions, Xxxxx may also immediately pursue any other pursue remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, instituting an appropriate proceeding before the Commission, the FCC, or a court of competent jurisdiction.
5.1.5 Upon written notice from TCA that such contamination has been corrected, the Xxxxx will have ten (10) days to provide a written response to the correction notice. Should Xxxxx confirm the correction or not respond to the correction notice within ten (10) days, compensation starting from the date of correction will be based on the exchange of Subject Traffic; otherwise Xxxxx shall continue to treat the traffic pursuant to 5.1.4.
5.1.6 Nothing herein shall prevent either Party from seeking Dispute Resolution pursuan...
Grades of Service. 4.4.1 CLEC shall provide all SS7 signaling information including, without limitation, charge number and originating line information ("OLI"). For terminating FGD, SBC ILLINOIS will pass all SS7 signaling information including, without limitation, CPN if it receives CPN from FGD carriers. All privacy indicators will be honored. Where available, network signaling information such as transit network selection ("TNS") parameter, carrier identification codes (“CIC”) (CCS platform) and CIC/OZZ information (non-SS7 environment) will be provided by CLEC 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.

6.1 Measurement and Billing over Interconnection Trunks For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN) information on at least ninety-five percent (95%) of calls carried over the Interconnection Trunks.
6.1.1 As used in this Section 6, "Traffic Rate" means the applicable Reciprocal Compensation Traffic rate, Measured Internet Traffic rate, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service rate, interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rate, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit Traffic rate, as provided in the Pricing Attachment, an applicable Tariff, or, for Measured Internet Traffic, the FCC Internet Order.
6.1.2 If the originating Party passes CPN on ninety-five percent (95%) or more of its calls, the receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed. For any remaining (up to 5%) calls without CPN information, the receiving Party shall bill the originating Party for such traffic at the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic, in direct proportion to the minutes of use of calls passed with CPN information.
6.1.3 If the originating Party passes CPN on less than ninety-five percent (95%) of its calls and the originating Party chooses to combine Reciprocal Compensation Traffic and Toll Traffic on the same trunk group, the receiving Party shall bill the higher of its interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rates or its intrastate Switched Exchange Access Services rates for all traffic that is passed without CPN, unless the Parties agree that other rates should apply to such traffic. At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, to use such CPN to classify traffic delivered over Interconnection Trunks by the other Party by Traffic Rate type (e.g., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic/Measured Internet Traffic, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service, interstate Switched Exchange Access Service, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit Traffic), such receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the Traffic Rate MSI SC Comp v3 0c 62 applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed. If the receiving Party lacks the capability, on an automated basis, to use CPN information on an automated basis to classify...
Grades of Service. Each Party shall engineer and shall monitor and service all trunk groups under its control consistent with the Joint Implementation and Grooming Process as set forth in Section 10, and in accordance with generally accepted trunk engineering guidelines (e.g., SR-TAP-000191 and Telcordia Notes on the Networks - SR-2275) and any service standards established herein or in relevant FCC or CommissionBoard regulations. The Parties agree to manage the capacity of relevant trunk groups in a manner that will encourage the economic deployment of increasingly robust and diverse interconnection between their networks.
