	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #12 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation










	1	 	Introduction






	1.1	 	Purpose and Scope





In accordance with NeuStar’s contract1 and our constant effort to provide the best
support and value to both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the telecommunications
industry, NeuStar, as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), hereby submits this
scope of work change to the FCC for approval. This scope of work change is in compliance with
NANPA’s Change Management protocol and most importantly per requirements as outlined in NANP
Administrator Solicitation SOL03000001, Section H.9, Item 5, which states the following:




	 	 	 	“If and when a change to the NANPA system is adopted by the NANC or the INC, the
contractor’s liaison shall ensure that the proposed change is forwarded to the Contracting
Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). No change shall be
binding until such modification is issued, nor shall the Government be liable for any costs
associated with a system change until such modification is issued.”






	1.2	 	Modification of the NANPA System





The need for changes to the NANPA system may result from interaction between the North American
Numbering Council (NANC), the Industry Numbering Committee (INC), the FCC, and the NANPA or from
technological evolution. These changes are usually to improve system operation and/or address
processing problems to fix unforeseen system responses. The FCC acknowledges the importance of the
interaction of the parties for developing system enhancements and fixes. For the changes to be
properly acknowledged and fiscally addressed in the context of the contract, all such system
changes should be approached through the following steps:




	 	1.	 	Either the contractor, the NANC, the INC or the FCC may identify a need for change to
the NANPA system.
	 
	 	2.	 	All parties may discuss the needed change and address possible solutions.
	 
	 	3.	 	The NANC, the INC or the FCC may request the contractor to propose a solution to
affect the change. The contractor shall develop a solution and alternatives if feasible,
and associated cost of each solution. The contractor shall submit the proposal(s) and
associated cost information to the NANC for review.
	 
	 	4.	 	The NANC may adopt one of the proposed changes or return the proposal to the
contractor for further development/clarification.
	 
	 	5.	 	If and when a change to the NANPA system is adopted by the NANC or the INC, the
contractor’s liaison shall ensure that the proposed change is forwarded to the Contracting
Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). No change shall be
binding until such modification is issued, nor shall the Government be liable for any
costs associated with a system change until such modification is issued.

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #12 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation











This document provides detailed information pertaining to a NANPA recommendation originally
presented to the FCC in a letter from NANPA dated June 5, 2007.2 This change order
document covers the required subject matters such as explaining the need for the new NANP
Administration System (NAS) servers, the proposed solution, risks and assumptions and costs.




	2	 	NANPA Recommended Scope of Work Change





Presently, there are four (4) Dell PowerEdge 1550 servers in use in NAS. Two servers are located in
Sterling, VA, one of which supports the electronic file transfer capabilities (FTP) required in the
system. In particular, it serves as the location for accepting the FTP submissions NANPA receives
for Number Resource Utilization and Forecasting (NRUF) and central office code processing. The
second Sterling server supports NANPA’s reporting requirements as specified in the March 2003 NANPA
Technical Requirements Document. It also extracts the company information and utilization and
forecast data contained in all NRUF email and FTP submissions, performs error checking and
generates confirmations/notification of errors. Finally, this server distributes notices via the
NAS NANP Notification System (NNS). The two remaining Dell 1550 servers perform the same functions
for the back-up system that resides in Charlotte, NC.



Dell, Inc, the manufacturer of the Dell 1550 servers, no longer provides maintenance support for
this model server. Therefore, in order to avoid potential interruption of NANPA systems, NeuStar
recommends replacing the four servers with Dell’s current and fully supported server models.




	3	 	NeuStar’s Proposed Solution





NeuStar recommends replacing the existing Dell 1550 servers with the current model of Dell servers.
Specifically, the two Dell 1550 servers used for accepting FTP submissions would be replaced with
two Dell 1950 PowerEdge servers. Similar to the Dell 1550, this server is a scalable, reliable
data-center machine. The Dell 1950 server fully meets the technical requirements of the system and
represents the technological advancement of the Dell product.



With regard to the remaining two Dell 1550 servers used for reporting and NRUF processing, NeuStar
recommends replacing them with two Dell 2950 PowerEdge servers. Similar to the Dell 1950, these
servers are also scalable, reliable data-center machines. Equally important, the Dell 2950 servers
provide additional processing capabilities needed for the volume of information they must manage.
For example, since January 2007, the current Dell 1550s processed more than three million
utilization and forecast records submitted by telecommunications service providers via the NRUF
reporting process. These records will continue to grow as NANPA collects this vital information
during future semi-annual submission cycles.



Finally, NeuStar proposes that the four Dell 1550 servers remain available in NAS as stand-bye
equipment. This equipment can be used to temporarily store files and/or data whenever necessary as
part of ongoing system operation and maintenance.





 




			
	2	 	Letter dated June 5, 2007 from John C. Manning, Director, NANPA, to Anthony Wimbush, Contracting
Officer, Contracts and Purchasing Center, FCC and Gary Remondino, Contracting Officer — Technical
Representative, Contracts and Purchasing Center. FCC.

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #12 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation












	4	 	Assumptions and Risks





As part of the assessment of this change order, NeuStar is required to identify the
associated assumptions and risks that can have an impact on its operations.



Assumption:





	•	 	When replacing these servers, NeuStar will select a time frame that minimizes any potential
risk of interfering with the submission of utilization and forecast data collected via the
NRUF reporting process. This would include replacing the servers outside of the heaviest NRUF
submission time frame, which occurs the weeks surrounding the FCC filing deadline of February
1 and August 1 of each year.
	 
	•	 	All four replacement servers come with a three year maintenance agreement along with
24x7x365 support.





Risk:





	•	 	Potential errors could occur when transferring operating software and system files/data to
the new servers. This risk is mitigated however by the fact that NeuStar successfully upgraded
all NAS operating software in March 2007 with no service disruption and support personnel involved in that activity will be directly involved in the replacement of the servers.






	5	 	Cost Assumptions and Summary





The proposed solution for the implementation of this recommendation requires the replacement of
four (4) Dell 1550 servers used in NAS. NeuStar has determined that the cost associated with
implementing this change in NAS is $18,669.90.




	6	 	Conclusion





NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change. Upon
approval by the FCC, NANPA can notify the industry that it is accommodating this Scope of Work
change order.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #13 Proposal — INC Issue 545 





1 Introduction




1.1 Purpose and Scope



In accordance with NeuStar’s contract1 and our constant effort to provide the best
support and value to both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the telecommunications
industry, NeuStar, as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), hereby submits this
scope of work change to the FCC for approval. This scope of work change is in compliance with
NANPA’s Change Management protocol and most importantly per requirements as outlined in NANP
Administrator Solicitation SOL03000001, Section H.9, Item 5, which states the following:





“If and when a change to the NANPA system is adopted by the NANC or the INC, the contractor’s
liaison shall ensure that the proposed change is forwarded to the Contracting Officer and the
Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). No change shall be binding until such
modification is issued, nor shall the Government be liable for any costs associated with a system
change until such modification is issued.”



1.2 Modification of Guidelines



Pursuant to NeuStar’s contact, the NANPA shall participate in the development and modification of
guidelines and procedures, which may affect the performance of the NANPA functions. These changes
may be derived from regulatory directives and/or modifications to guidelines. In addition, new
guidelines may be developed as appropriate to comply with regulatory directives. The NANPA shall
adopt and implement any changes that are consistent with regulatory directives after they are
officially adopted, recognizing that some may constitute a change in the scope of work.



When the Industry Numbering Committee (INC) places any changes to its guidelines in initial
closure, the NANPA shall submit an assessment regarding the impact of scope of work, time and
costs to the INC, the North American Numbering Council (NANC) and the FCC within 30 days.2



This document provides detailed information pertaining to the proposed INC requirement that went
into initial closure on June 29, 2007. This change order document covers the required subject
matters such as explaining the industry’s requirements, proposed solution, costs and risk and
assumptions.

	2	 	Proposed Industry Numbering Committee (INC) Scope of Work Change




During the June 25, 2007 INC meeting, INC Issue 545 was resolved and went to Initial Closure on
June 29, 2007. This issue affects the NANP Administration System (“NAS”).





	•	 	Issue 545: Removal of Switch CLLI Information from NANPA Website




The official INC issue statement is stated below and can also be found on the ATIS website:





	 	A)	 	ISSUE STATEMENT






NRRIC Issue 0237 — Removal of Unnecessary Switching Entity Information from Public Access calls
for the removal of Switch CLLI information from the NANPA website. When SPs complete information
on the Part 1, Switch CLLI information is placed on the NANPA website and is available to the
public.




The availability of this information in a public domain makes telecommunications networks
vulnerable to attacks as the location of Switch CLLIs that provide service for sensitive
communications and financial transactions is easily obtained and can be used as targets for a
possible terrorist attack. The securing of sensitive information that currently exists on the

The following changes were made to Section 3.3 of the COCAG and Section 3.4 of the TBPAG:




COCAG change:




	 	3.3	 	Information that is submitted by applicants in support of code assignment shall be kept to
a minimum, be uniform for all applicants, and be treated as proprietary and adequately safeguarded
by the PA/NANPA. Switch CLLI information shall not be placed on the NANPA website but shall be
retained by the PA/NANPA. The Switch CLLI information will continue to be available to those
Service Providers and appropriate state and governmental regulatory authorities who have
registered for access to the PA/NANPA secured systems. If an appropriate state and governmental
regulatory authority has not registered for access to the PA/NANPA secured systems, this
information shall be made available upon request. Information required by TelcordiaTM Business
Integrated Rating and Routing Database System (BIRRDS), TelcordiaTM TPMTM Data Source3, and
information available in the LERG Routing Guide may be subject to licensing agreements with
Telcordia.

	 	3.4	 	Information that is submitted by applicants in support of thousands-block assignment
shall be kept to a minimum, be uniform for all applicants, and be treated as proprietary and
adequately safeguarded by the PA/NANPA. Switch CLLI information shall not be placed on
the NANPA website but shall be retained by the PA/NANPA. The Switch CLLI information will
continue to be available to those parties that have registered for access to the PA/NANPA

	 	 	 	NOTE: Implementation of this resolution may be delayed until the outcome of a
potential NANPA Change Order is known.5





3 NeuStar’s Proposed Solution



INC Issue 545 requires NANPA to remove the Switch CLLI information from the NANPA public website.
Specifically, NANPA must remove this data from the Central Office Code Utilized Report and the
Central Office Code Assignment Records. Further, NANPA must incorporate similar reporting
capabilities on the password-protected side of the NANP Administration System. These reports will
include the same information as the public website reports, with the exception that Switch CLLI
information will appear on the password-protected NAS reports.




Solution:



There are two Central Office Code reports on the NANPA public website that display Switch CLLI
information. These reports are the Central Office Code Utilized Report (updated real-time) and the
Central Office Code Assignment Records (updated daily). The Central Office Code Assignment Records
provide a listing of utilized codes in both Text file and Excel files. These reports will be
modified to exclude the Switch CLLI information. No other changes will be made to these reports.



NAS will be modified to provide both the Central Office Code Utilized Report and the Central
Office Code Assignment Records as new, password-protected reports available to the following NAS
registered users: Service Provider Applicant, Service Provider Consultant, State Regulatory and
Federal Regulator. A new link will appear on the tool bar under CO Code

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #13 Proposal — INC Issue 545 




Reports titled “CO Code Utilized Reports.” Both reports will continue to be available on the
public website, minus the Switch CLLI information,



This new link will take the user to a page that displays the following links: Central Office Code
Utilized Report and Central Office Code Assignment Records. The Central Office Code Utilized
Report will work in the same manner as the report that is available on the NANPA public website
(i.e., user selects the state and then an NPA that is available via a drop-down box). The only
difference between the NANPA public website report and the NAS secure report is the secure report
will display the Switch CLLI information along with the other data available on the public website
report. Specifically, the report will display the state, NPA, NXX, type of use, Company Name, OCN,
rate center, Switch ID, initial/growth, assignment date and effective date.



The Central Office Code Assignment Records will work in the same manner as they do on the NANPA
public website. The user will be able to select and download a Text or Excel file by clicking on
the various links that appear. These reports will appear the same as the reports available on the
public website, however, like the Central Office Code Utilized Report, these files will also
include the Switch CLLI information.




4 Assumptions and Risks



As part of the NANPA’s assessment of this change order, NANPA is required to identify the
associated assumptions and risks that can have an impact on its operations.



Assumptions:





	•	 	NANPA assumes that service providers6 desiring the Switch CLLI information will
be required to register in NAS. Any request for NANPA to provide this data to a service
provider in any other manner will be treated as a NANPA Customized Report Enterprise
Service.
	 
	•	 	All service providers that have selected the Central Office Code Administration function in
their NAS profile, along with federal and state registered NAS users, will have access to the
Central Office Code Utilized Report and the Central Office Code Assignment Records found in the
password-protected side of NAS. These users will be able to access the Switch CLLI information for
all states and associated NPA-NXXs resident in NAS.
	 
	•	 	Service providers will continue to submit a Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Request (Part
1) whenever there is a change to the Switch CLLI associated with an assigned central office code.
Further, NANPA will continue to distribute the daily, weekly and monthly Part 1 Report to
authorized states. This report will include, among other data, the Switch CLLI information for
those NPA-NXXs included on the Part 1 Report.







 




			
	6	 	Service providers include service provider consultants.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #13 Proposal — INC Issue 545 





Risks:





	•	 	It is important to note that NANPA is aware of entities that use the NANPA website and
specifically, the reports available concerning central office codes assignments for their business
purposes. Removing the Switch CLLI information may result in feedback concerning the availability
of this information. Some of these entities may request access to secure NAS in order to obtain
this information when in fact they do not qualify under current NAS access procedures to become
NAS users. These entities may contact the NANPA and/or the FCC to express their concerns regarding
this change to the NANPA public website.





5 Cost Assumptions and Summary



The proposed solution for implementation of INC Issue 545 requires changes in NAS in order for the
system to remove Switch CLLI data from the public website and make it available only in secure
NAS. NANPA has determined that the cost associated with implementing this change in NAS is
$5,838.24.




6 Conclusion



NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change. Upon
approval by the FCC, NANPA will notify the industry that it is accommodating this Scope of Work
change order.

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #8 Proposal — INC Issue 526













			
	1	 	Introduction






	1.1	 	Purpose and Scope




In accordance with NeuStar’s contract1 and our constant effort to provide the best
support and value to both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the telecommunications
industry, NeuStar, as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), hereby submits this
scope of work change to the FCC for approval. This scope of work change is in compliance with
NANPA’s Change Management protocol and most importantly per requirements as outlined in NANP
Administrator Solicitation SOL03000001, Section H.9, Item 5, which states the following:





“If and when a change to the NANPA system is adopted by the NANC or the INC, the
contractor’s liaison shall ensure that the proposed change is forwarded to the Contracting
Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). No change shall be
binding until such modification is issued, nor shall the Government be liable for any costs
associated with a system change until such modification is issued.”




	1.2	 	Modification of Guidelines




Pursuant to NeuStar’s contact, the NANPA shall participate in the development and modification of
guidelines and procedures, which may affect the performance of the NANPA functions. These changes
may be derived from regulatory directives and/or modifications to guidelines. In addition, new
guidelines may be developed as appropriate to comply with regulatory directives. The NANPA shall
adopt and implement any changes that are consistent with regulatory directives after they are
officially adopted, recognizing that some may constitute a change in the scope of work.



When the Industry Numbering Committee (INC) places any changes to its guidelines in initial
closure, the NANPA shall submit an assessment regarding the impact of scope of work, time and
costs to the INC, the North American Numbering Council (NANC) and the FCC within 30
days.2



This document provides detailed information pertaining to the INC’s requirement submitted on
August 16, 2007. This change order document covers the required subject matters such as
explaining the industry’s requirements, proposed solution, costs and risk and assumptions.

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #8 Proposal — INC Issue 526









	2	 	Proposed Industry Numbering Committee (INC) Scope of Work Change




During the August 13, 2007 INC meeting, INC Issue 526 was resolved and went to Initial
Closure on August 16, 2007. This issue affects NANPA operations.





	•	 	Issue 526: Edit COCAG Regarding Disconnect of NXXs in Telcordia BIRRDS




The official INC issue statement is set forth below and can also be found on the ATIS website:





	A)	 	ISSUE STA TEMENT




“An issue in the Telcordia Common Interest Group on Rating and Routing (CIGRR) suggests edits in
the Business Integrated Routing and Rating Database System (BIRRDS) to prevent an NXX with
potentially ported TNs from being deleted prior to NANPA approving the deletion. In addition,
data integrity between NANPA and Telcordia Routing Administration would benefit if NANPA entered
a delete on the administrative code record (ACD) prior to the NXX record (NXD) being deleted by
the AOCN.”





	B)	 	FOLLOWING RESOLUTION FROM INC




The issue resolution resulted in numerous editorial changes to the COCAG. Below are specific
references directly impacting NANPA operations:





	 	 	Section 5.2.9
	 
	 	 	Ensure, concurrent with assignment or disconnect of an NXX to a code applicant, the
NPA, NXX. effective date and OCN of the code applicant are input into BIRRDS to
indicate that a specific NXX has been assigned by NANPA to an applicant or that
a disconnect has been approved by NANPA. Completion of this step will allow the input
of Part 2 data entries into BIRRDS that may or may not be performed by the CO Code
Administrator (See Code Activation and In Service Timeline in Appendix D, II).






	 	 	Section 6.1.2.1






	 	 	b)   The expedited 45-day Interval activities:






	 	•	 	The SP must follow the Network Interconnection and Interoperability
Forum (NIIF) procedures to expedite the 45-day code activation
process.
	 
	 	•	 	On an exception basis, an activation interval of less than 45
calendar days may be requested on the Part 1. Under no circumstances will an
activation interval of less than 30 calendar days be approved by the homing tandem
operating company or the NANPA.
	 
	 	•	 	To open a new code, the Part 1 must be accompanied by
documentation from the homing tandem operating company that the shorter
interval can be met.
	 
	 	•	 	To modify or disconnect an existing code, NANPA may have a direct
role such as entering changes to data on the BIRRDS ACD screen. For
disconnects. NANPA

Notification Procedures to Industry for Changes in Access Network
Architecture.”

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #8 Proposal — INC Issue 526










	 	 	 	 has the direct role of entering the effective date of the disconnect on
the ACD screen, If an expedite is approved, the expedite information will be entered
in the BIRRDS ACD screen as well. When NANPA has a direct
role, NANPA has the discretion to grant an expedite without concurrence from the
homing tandem operating company. Under no circumstances will a modification or
disconnect interval of less than 30 days be approved by the NANPA.






	 	 	Section 6.6.1
	 
	 	 	For any non-pooled Central Office Codes returned to NANPA in error, one of
the following scenarios and steps applies and should be taken:






	 	•	 	Scenario 1: The Part 3 has not yet been issued.






	 	•	 	The SP should cancel the return in NAS.






	 	•	 	Scenario 2: The Part 3 has been issued and the code return was approved and
the effective date has not yet been reached.






	 	•	 	The SP must notify the NANPA Code Administrator to cancel the
return in NAS, in order to cancel the disconnect on the ACD
in BIRRDS. 
	 
	 	•	 	 
	 
	 	•	 	The SP must take the appropriate steps to cancel the disconnect
view on the NXD in BIRRDS.
	 
	 	•	 	It is recommended that the SP contact the TRA to negotiate the
issuance of an Emergency Notification.






	 	 	Section 6.6.2
	 
	 	 	For any pooled Central Office Codes returned to the PA in error, if one of the following
scenarios applies, the corresponding step(s) should be taken:






	 	•	 	Scenario 1: The Part 3 has not yet been issued by NANPA.






	 	•	 	The SP must notify the PA and
NANPA via email in order to cancel the return.






	 	•	 	Scenario 2: The Part 3 has been issued and the code
return was approved and the effective date has not yet been reached.






	 	•	 	The SP must notify the PA and NANPA to cancel the return in PAS and
NAS in order for NANPA to cancel the disconnect on the ACD in
BIRRDS.
	 
	 	•	 	The SP must take the appropriate steps to cancel the disconnect view
on the NXD in BIRRDS.
	 
	 	•	 	It is recommended that the SP contact the TRA to negotiate the issuance of an Emergency Notification.






	 	 	Appendix C
	 
	 	 	Section 2.2
	 
	 	 	The SP returning an NXX code, shall submit its Part 1 disconnect request to NANPA.
NANPA shall create a disconnect view on the ACD screen in BIRRDS if NANPA determines
that there are no active or pending ports within the code being returned. An

	NANPA — Scope of Work Change #8 Proposal — INC Issue 526










	 	 	 edit has been placed in BIRRDS to prevent SPs from entering a disconnect in
BIRRDS prior to NANPA entering a disconnect on the ACD screen. This is to ensure that the
code is not removed from the LERG Routing Guide as an active code until the Part 3 with the
effective date of the disconnect is received from NANPA, and to prevent an adverse effect
on ported-out customers.






	 	 	Appendix C
	 
	 	 	Section 4.4.1
	 
	 	 	If there are no active or pending ports, including intra-SP ports, on the pooled NXX code,
NANPA shall proceed with the return. NANPA shall create the disconnect on the ACD
screen in BIRRDS, and the SP returning the pooled NXX, subsequently shall enter the
disconnect on the NXD screen in BIRRDS. An edit in BIRRDS ensures that the disconnect
effective date on the NXD screen matches the disconnect effective date on the ACD screen.
Delays in entering the disconnect on the NXD screen in BIRRDS may cause a later than
anticipated disconnect effective date on the NXX code due to the automatic rescheduling
mechanism in BIRRDS to preserve the industry notification timeframe.
	 
	 	 	If there are active or pending ports on the pooled NXX code, NANPA shall:






	 	•	 	Deny the Part 1 application if the only active or pending ports
on the pooled NXX code are intra-SP ports. LERG assignees must remove all
intra-SP ports and LRNs from a pooled NXX code to be returned before submitting
a Part 1 to the PA.
	 
	 	•	 	Suspend the Part 1 pending identification of a new LERG
assignee by the PA and so inform the applicant via a Part 3. NANPA,
shall request the original LERG assignee to maintain default
routing until a new LERG Assignee is found. An edit in BIRRDS prevents the
original LERG Assignee from creating a disconnect view on the NXD screen in
BIRRDS prior to NANPA creating a disconnect on the ACD.
	 
	 	•	 	Provide the PA with an ad hoc report from the NPAC that will
identify active and pending ports on the returned pooled NXX code.






	3	 	NeuStar’s Proposed Solution




The current method for processing a return/disconnect of a central office code requires NANPA to
confirm there are no current or pending ports on the central office code being returned. If there
are no ports, NANPA approves the requested return/disconnect by issuing a Part 3 —Administrator’s
Response/Confirmation to the code holder. Once the Part 3 is issued, NANPA’s responsibilities are
complete.



In order to implement INC Issue 526, NANPA personnel will need to take an additional step by
updating the ACD (Administrative Code Record) in the TelcordiaTM Business Integrated Routing

and Rating Database (BIRRDS) for each approved central office code return. This new step
requires NANPA to log into BIRRDS and update the ACD with the approved effective date for the CO
code disconnect.



Further, as noted in Sections 6.6.1 and 6.6.2 of the COCAG, code holders may decide to cancel a
code disconnect prior to the effective date. As such, NANPA must cancel the code disconnect in NAS
as well as in BIRRDS. This requires additional coordination between NANPA and the code holder to
ensure the appropriate information is entered into BIRRDS in a timely manner.





	4	 	Assumptions and Risks




As part of the NANPA’s assessment of this change order, NANPA is required to identify the
associated assumptions and risks that can have an impact on its operations.




Assumptions:





	•	 	NANPA assumes BIRRDS access is readily available at the time of processing an
application returning a code.





Risks:





	•	 	In those instances where the code holder desires to cancel a code disconnect, NANPA must rely
upon the cooperation of the code holder to properly update information in BIRRDS in a timely
manner. If the code holder does not cooperate, NANPA will spend a significant amount of time
attempting to get the code holder to input the necessary data to reverse a code disconnect,
taking time away from processing other applications.
	 
	•	 	There are additional risks of inputting inaccuracies when updateing two databases. Due to
human error, different data could be entered into the two systems or only one system may be
updated.





Impact on Operations:



The proposed solution impacts NANPA operations by requiring NANPA personnel to take additional time
to complete an approved application requiring the disconnect of a central office code. Further,
NANPA must now coordinate with the code holder to ensure appropriate modifications to BIRRDS are
made in the event the code holder wishes to stop the disconnect of a code prior to the effective
date.





	5	 	Cost Assumptions and Summary




The proposed solution for implementation of the INC Issue 526 requires changes in NANPA operations.
NANPA personnel must enter data for each code disconnect into BIRRDS, a new requirement when
processing code disconnects. In addition, additional coordination with the service provider may be
required when requested to cancel a code disconnect. NANPA has determined that the cost associated
with implementing this change is $6,109.00 per year or $509.00 per month.

To determine this cost, NANPA identified the quantity of applications involving an approved
code disconnect since January 2006 and used that information to calculate an average monthly
quantity of such applications. After identifying the additional steps required for processing a
code disconnect, NANPA calculated the additional processing time required for each approved CO code
disconnect. With this information, NANPA determined a cost per application and multiplied that
result by the projected average monthly quantity of approved code disconnects. In addition, NANPA
factored in an average quantity of requests for which the service provider desired to cancel a code
disconnect after the Part 3 had been issued but prior to the effective date of the code disconnect.





	6	 	Conclusion




NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change. Upon approval
by the FCC, NANPA will notify the industry that it is accommodating this Scope of Work change
order.
