**Comments: June 6, 2000 Reply Comments: June 13, 2000**

On May 5, 2000, North American Billing and Collection, Inc., (NBANC),
submitted a revised contribution factor and fund size estimate for
funding the North American Numbering Plan Administrator for the period
March 2000 through June 2001.[^1]

On December 30, 1999, the Network Services Division authorized the 2000
funding year contribution factor of 0.0000577 to be applied to the
end-user revenue of each telecommunications carrier in the United
States.[^2] The current submission updates the contribution factor and
fund size to reflect recent decisions by the Commission in the Numbering
Resource Optimization (NRO) *Order* regarding the implementation of
thousands-block number pooling, audits, and mandatory reporting of
utilization and forecast data.[^3] In light of those decisions, NBANC is
seeking approval of a revised contribution factor of 0.000043.
