S25 - Surcharge Status (PRILOC Primary Location.)

Identifies whether a surcharge is applicable (non-exempt) or non-applicable (exempt) for the number of circuits ordered between two customer locations.

NOTE 1: The S25C field appears on the Multipoint Service Leg (MSL) Form for certifying on a per leg basis for a multipoint circuit. Providers may require an accompanying certificate with the ASR Access Service Request.

NOTE 2: When a mix (exempt and non-exempt) is ordered the specific exemptions are stated using the ACI or MSL order request forms.

VALID ENTRIES:

A = The customer certifies that the access service is terminated in a device not capable of interconnecting the service with local exchange service or indicates that the customer certifies that the access service is associated with a switched access service that is subject to Carrier Common Line Charges and therefore exempt from the surcharge.

NOTE 1: When the numeric entry in positions 2-8 is populated, leading or embedded spaces and leading zeros are not permitted.  

B = The customer has a blanket exemption certification on file with the provider.

NOTE 1: The provider will provide information concerning the availability of this option by the provider. (Whether or not a blanket exception is to be used will determine applicability of surcharge.)

NOTE 2: A numeric quantity used in conjunctionwith the A or B entry indicates that the customer certifies that this number of channels are exempt from the surcharge. (Only applicable to analog or digital high capacity facilities provided between two customer locations.)

NOTE 3: When the numeric entry in positions 2-8 is populated, leading or embedded spaces and leading zeros are not permitted.   

C = Surcharge is applicable to all circuits.

NOTE 1: If the surcharge does not apply to all the circuits ordered, the quantity exempt must be shown preceded by the “A” or “B” entry.

NA = Not Applicable

NOTE 1: “NA” is valid only when the PRILOC field is a CLLI code (Common Language Location Identifier) An 11-digit code that an ILEC assigns to acarrier’s location to designate the Central Office or area served by a Central Office.Characters 5 and 6 are the state code, 7 and 8 are the Central Office name, and 9through 11 specify equipment type. CLLI is a trademark of Telcordia., for DNALs, or where intrastate tariffs do not have surcharges.

NOTE 1: Required when the ACT field on the ASR Form is “N”, otherwise optional.
