SOW:
  þ Yes    
 
  o No    
Beginning five (5) Business Days after the Amendment Effective Date, Contractor shall perform the Additional Services set forth herein.

Amendment No. 71 (CA)    
SOW:
  þ Yes    
 
  o No    
A Help Desk Only User cannot have an LTI, SOA, LSMS or other interface to the NPAC/SMS. If a Help Desk Only User has caused more than [* * *] TN Porting Events in the immediately preceding twelve-month period (each, a “Rolling 12 Month Period”), calculated on a monthly basis, then the User must make other provisioning arrangements; e.g., use LTI, SOA or Service Bureau services.
The charge for the NPAC User Support Manual Request (Help Desk Only Access) applies to each manual operation request to the NPAC staff to perform a SOA or SOA-like function through the OpGUI interface that could otherwise be performed by Users directly (such as service orders to create or activate a number, disconnect a number or modify a number).  If the NPAC User Support Manual Request (Help Desk Only Access) concerns a telephone number(s), then the charge applies per telephone number or range of contiguous telephone numbers, regardless of the number of creates, modifies, or deletes of values in a Subscription Version (SV) that are accomplished simultaneously.  A charge for an NPAC User Support Manual Request (Help Desk Only Access) applies regardless of the time of day the request is made or fulfilled, and is in addition to any other charges that currently are applicable, including charges for services performed outside of Normal Business Hours.
Upon receipt of an NPAC User Support Manual Request (Help Desk Only Access), whereby the requested manual operation conforms with all applicable NPAC/SMS specifications from a Help Desk Only User, Contractor shall take all such action as is necessary to enter the request into the NPAC/SMS and schedule the processing of such request by the due date specified in the request. 
     3.6 Method & Procedures
Contractor and Customer will develop appropriate methods and procedures and a User Registration Form in connection with Help Desk Only Access.
     3.7 Reservation
The Parties agree that nothing herein shall in any way limit or diminish (1) the scope of services currently available to the Users under the Service Element entitled “NPAC User Support Manual Request” available to Users who are not Help Desk Only Users, or (2) the scope or application of any of the Service Levels or Service Level Requirements set forth in the Master Agreement which, for greater certainty, shall apply to NPAC User Support Manual Requests as applicable.
