not subject to expedite requests. This service interval is distinct from the interval
applied to the subsequent service order.
2.9.3 Loop Reservations
2.9.3.1 For a Mechanized LMUSI, TC SYSTEMS may reserve up to ten (10) Loop
facilities. For a Manual LMUSI, TC SYSTEMS may reserve up to three (3) Loop
facilities.
2.9.3.2 TC SYSTEMS may reserve facilities for up to four (4) business days for each
facility requested through LMU from the time the LMU information is returned to
TC SYSTEMS. During and prior to TC SYSTEMS placing an LSR, the reserved
facilities are rendered unavailable to other customers, including BellSouth. If TC
SYSTEMS does not submit an LSR for a UNE service on a reserved facility
within the four (4)-day reservation timeframe, the reservation of that spare facility
will become invalid and the facility will be released.
2.9.3.3 Charges for preordering Manual LMUSI or Mechanized LMU are separate from
any charges associated with ordering other services from BellSouth.
2.9.3.4 All LSRs issued for reserved facilities shall reference the facility reservation
number as provided by BellSouth. TC SYSTEMS will not be billed any additional
LMU charges for the Loop ordered on such LSR. If, however, TC SYSTEMS
does not reserve facilities upon an initial LMUSI, TC SYSTEMS’s placement of
an order for an advanced data service type facility will incur the appropriate billing
charges to include SI and reservation per Exhibit A of this Attachment.
2.9.3.5 Where TC SYSTEMS has reserved multiple Loop facilities on a single reservation,
TC SYSTEMS may not specify which facility shall be provisioned when submitting
the LSR. For those occasions, BellSouth will assign to TC SYSTEMS, subject to
availability, a facility that meets the BellSouth technical standards of the BellSouth
type Loop as ordered by TC SYSTEMS.
