Percent Local Usage a. CenturyLink will determine the jurisdiction of a call if CenturyLink has sufficient call details. When call details are insufficient to determine the jurisdiction for the call, the CLEC will identify in writing the Percent Local Usage (PLU) factor on each Interconnection order to identify its Local Traffic for Reciprocal Compensation purposes. For non-Local traffic, the Parties agree to compensate one another based on the rates included in each Party’s access Tariffs. CenturyLink may request CLEC’s traffic study documentation of the PLU at any time to verify the PLU and may compare the documentation to studies developed by CenturyLink. Should the documentation indicate that the factor should be changed by CenturyLink, the Parties agree that any changes will be retroactive to all traffic which is determined to have applied an inaccurate factor.
Percent Local Usage. Each Party will report to the other a Percentage Local Usage (“PLU”). For purposes of developing the PLU, each Party shall consider every local call and every long distance call; provided, however, that the Parties may exclude transit traffic from the PLU calculation. To the extent either Party includes transit traffic in the total number of calls, such transit traffic will be subtracted from the total before such Party calculates or determines the PLU factor. BellSouth and MCIm shall provide a positive report by the first of January, April, July and October of each year updating the PLU. The originating Party shall use calling party number information, where available, to determine PLUs. Where calling party number information is not available, the originating Party shall use its best efforts to estimate an accurate PLU. Where the terminating Party has message recording technology that can be used to correctly identify the jurisdiction of traffic terminated as defined in this Agreement, such information, in lieu of the PLU factor, shall, at the terminating Party’s option, be utilized by the terminating Party to determine the appropriate local usage compensation to be paid. If a terminating Party elects to use its terminating recording technology information in lieu of originating Party self-reported factors, and the originating Party disputes the information used by the terminating Party, the originating Party shall provide the terminating Party with the originating Party’s documentation in support of the originating Party’s factors. If the Parties are still unable to resolve the matter, the Parties may pursue the dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement.
