Transfer of Responsibility • Product Description • Transfer of a Collocation site to an assuming CLEC from a vacating CLEC. • Offered for Caged Physical, Cageless Physical, Virtual, and ICDF Collocation. All other types of Collocation to be transferred will be handled on an Individual Case Basis. • Two types of Collocation Transfer of Responsibility: • Transfer without working circuits • Transfer with working circuits • Transfer with working circuits is offered if administration changes are required and does not involve translations activity. Q w e s t W h o l e s a l e M a r k e t s

Transfer of Responsibility • Ordering • Prior to submitting a Collocation Transfer of Responsibility request: • Assuming CLEC is required to have an Interconnection Agreement with Qwest. Also will need to amend any previously-existing ICA if it does not include services to be transferred. • Vacating and Assuming CLEC must sign the Collocation Transfer of Responsibility amendment. • Process begins by the assuming CLEC submitting the Collocation Transfer of Responsibility Application form and submitting to colo@qwest.com and rfsmet@qwest.com. Q w e s t W h o l e s a l e M a r k e t s

Transfer of Responsibility • Ordering continued… • In addition to the application form the following information will need to be included: • Collocation Transfer of Responsibility Spreadsheet, if there are working circuits - providing detail on each working circuit to be transferred. • Qwest Transfer Authorization Agreement, signed by the vacating and assuming CLECs. • Letter of Authorization, if the Collocation site has a CLEC-to-CLEC (Direct) arrangement, signed by the assuming CLEC and the CLEC partner. • Email verification from the vacating CLEC representing that all of its end users have been notified of the transfer, if there are working circuits. Q w e s t W h o l e s a l e M a r k e t s

Circuits submitted via an ASR will be processed based on the information provided on the Collocation Transfer of Responsibility Spreadsheet. • At the completion of the transfer, the vacating CLEC, assuming CLEC and Qwest will sign the Qwest Services Transfer Agreement.
