NANPA — Scope of Work Change #11 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 #11 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation




This document provides detailed information pertaining to a NANPA recommendation originally
presented to the Numbering Oversight Working Group (NOWG) on March 20, 2007. This change order
document covers the required subject matters such as explaining the new requirements proposed
solution, risks and assumptions and costs.



2 NANPA Recommended Scope of Work Change




Presently, NANPA generates two reports that are sent via email to authorized state regulators.
The Part 1 Report provides specific information found on the central office (CO) code application
submitted by a service provider (Attachment 1). The Part 3 Report provides specific information
found on the Part 3 processed by NANPA in response to the submitted Part 1 (Attachment 2). The
information contained in these reports is available in the NANP Administration System (NAS) to
registered state regulatory users.



These two reports are distributed to state regulators who have indicated their desire to receive
these reports via email. Only regulators from states with appropriate confidentiality protections
in place are permitted to receive the reports. The reports are distributed on a daily, weekly or
monthly basis. The individual recipient indicates the frequency that he/she desires to receive the
report. Recipients may receive either one or both reports.



In 2005 and 2006, NANPA distributed approximately 15,000 Part 1 and Part 3 Reports to over 30
states. The states use these reports to monitor central office code assignment activity within
their respective NPAs.



Although the information comes from NAS, the reports and emails are generated by an external
server. This server contains software that schedules and distributes the reports via email. The
server is over seven years old and the software used to schedule the reports is no longer supported
by the vendor. Change Order 11 proposes to eliminate the use of this server and associated software
and incorporate this functionality into NAS.



3 NeuStar’s Proposed Solution




NAS will create and forward via email the Part 1 and Part 3 Reports that are presently
generated by the external server. Specifically, NAS will generate the Part 1 Report for each
identified recipient for their respective state NPAs and email that report to the state regulator
on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly or monthly). The Part 1 Report schedule will be maintained in
NAS. NAS will also generate the Part 3 Report for each identified recipient for their respective
state NPAs and email that report on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly or monthly). The Part 3 Report
schedule will be maintained in NAS.



Reports will be generated on a daily (run during non-business hours for the previous day), weekly
(run on Saturday during non-business hours for the preceding seven day period) and monthly (run on
the 1st of every month, for the preceding month, during non-business hours).



Both the Part 1 Report found in NAS and the Part 1 Report sent to the state regulator will be
modified by adding an additional column to appear after the NXX. The column will be labeled

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #11 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation




“Pooling Pass-Thru.” To determine if the application is a pooling pass thru, NAS will look at
the data field “Pooling Pass-Thru” as completed by the NANPA Code Administrator. Should the Code
Administrator checked “YES” on the “Pooling Pass-Thru” field, then a “Y” will appear in the column.
Should the Code Administrator checked “NO” on the “Pooling Pass-Thru” field, then an “N” will
appear in the column. This enhancement will allow state regulators to identify code requests that
have come through the National Pooling Administrator versus requests made directly to NANPA.



NANPA will maintain an Excel file that identifies the recipients of the reports and the requested
delivery interval. The file will contain the state identification (e.g., VA), the recipient’s name,
the recipient’s NAS Login ID, the report type (Part 1 and/or Part 3) and the scheduled time frame
for delivery (daily, weekly, or monthly). The NAS Login ID will be used to identify the recipient’s
email address as contained in their NAS user profile. All recipients of these reports will be
required to be NAS “state regulator” registered users. NANPA will update this spreadsheet on an
as-needed basis and have the capability to upload this file into NAS at any time.



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 will continue to use the existing process for receiving state user requests to have the
Part 1 and/or Part 3 Reports emailed to them as well as verify that the state has appropriate
confidentiality protections in place.






	•	 	Current recipients of the reports who are not registered NAS users will be required to
register in NAS in order to continue to receive the reports. Appropriate notification will be
provided to those recipients.






	•	 	The Part 1 and Part 3 Reports presently available in NAS will continue to be available to
authorized state users. Further, the Part 1 Report in NAS will be enhanced with the data field
for identifying “pooling pass thru” applications.





Risks:





	•	 	Potential errors could occur when updating the spreadsheet containing the list of recipients
for the reports, resulting in the reports being delayed or not being sent.






	•	 	State recipients will need to ensure their NAS user registration remains current in order for
the reports to be sent to them. The users are notified in advance when their registration is
to expire. If the user allows their registration to expire (e.g., the user fails to reset
their password when it expires), the user will not receive the reports.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #11 Proposal — NANPA Recommendation




5 Cost Assumptions and Summary




The proposed solution for implementation of the NANPA recommendation requires changes in NAS
in order for the impacted Part 1 and Part 3 Reports to be produced and emailed on a scheduled basis
by NAS. NANPA has determined that the cost associated with implementing this change in NAS is
$5,224.00.



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.
