Trunk Facility Under Utilization. At least once a year the Parties shall exchange trunk group measurement reports for trunk groups terminating to the other Party’s network. In addition and from time to time, each Party will determine the required trunks for each of the other Party’s trunk groups from the previous 12 months servicing data. Required trunks will be based on an objective P.01 grade of service or the Joint Interconnection Grooming Plan referenced in Section 4.3.7 above. Likewise, from time to time trunk groups with excess capacity will be identified to the other Party as eligible for downsizing. Excess capacity exists when a trunk group, on a modular trunk group design basis, has 24 trunks (one modular digroup) or ten (10) percent, whichever is larger, over the required number of trunks. The Party with excess trunking capacity will assess the trunk capacity based on forecasted requirements for the next 12 months. If after 12 months the trunk group continues to have excess capacity, the Party agrees to take steps to disconnect all excess capacity.
