Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 117 / Friday, June 16, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 37709

(ii) The service provider’s inability to

meet the specific customer request for

telephone numbers from the available

numbers within the service provider’s

opened thousands-blocks.

(3) Upon a finding by a state

commission that a service provider

inappropriately assigned telephone

numbers from an uncontaminated

thousands-block, the NANPA or the

Pooling Administrator shall suspend

assignment or allocation of any

additional numbering resources to that

service provider in the applicable NPA

until the service provider demonstrates

that it does not have sufficient

numbering resources to meet a specific

customer request.

5. Add § 52.20 to read as follows:

§ 52.20 Thousands-block number pooling.

(a) Definition. Thousands-block

number pooling is a process by which

the 10,000 numbers in a central office

code (NXX) are separated into ten

sequential blocks of 1,000 numbers each

(thousands-blocks), and allocated

separately within a rate center.

(b) General requirements. Pursuant to

the Commission’s adoption of

thousands-block number pooling as a

mandatory nationwide numbering

resource optimization strategy, all

carriers capable of providing local

number portability (LNP) must

participate in thousands-block number

pooling where it is implemented and

consistent with the national thousandsblock number pooling framework

established by the Commission.

(c) Donation of thousands-blocks. (1)

All service providers required to

participate in thousands-block number

pooling shall donate thousands-blocks

with less than ten percent

contamination to the thousands-block

number pool for the rate center within

which the numbering resources are

assigned.

(2) All service providers required to

participate in thousands-block number

pooling shall be allowed to maintain at

least one thousands-block per rate

center, even if the thousands-block is

less than ten-percent contaminated, as

an initial block or footprint block.

(3) Telephone numbers assigned to

customers of service providers from

donated thousands-blocks that are

contaminated shall be ported back to the

donating service provider.

(d) Thousands-Block Pooling

Administrator. (1) The Pooling

Administrator shall be a nongovernmental entity that is impartial

and not aligned with any particular

telecommunication industry segment,

and shall comply with the same

neutrality requirements that the NANPA

is subject to under this part.

(2) The Pooling Administrator shall

maintain no more than a six-month

inventory of telephone numbers in each

thousands-block number pool.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA No. 00–1208, MM Docket No. 97–116;

RM–9050 & RM–9123]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Estero,

Everglades City, LaBelle, and Key

West, FL

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In response to a petition filed

by Keith L. Reising a Notice of Proposed

Rule Making was issued proposing the

allotment of Channel 224A at

Everglades City, Florida. See 62 FR

22900, April 28, 1997. In response to a

counterproposal filed by InterMart

Broadcasting West Coast, Inc., this

document substitutes Channel 223C3 for

Channel 223A at LaBelle, Florida,

reallots Channel 223C3 to Estero,

Florida, and modifies the license for

Station WWWD to specify Estero as its

community of license. The coordinates

for Chanel 223C3 at Estero are 26–21–

50 and 81–46–00. To accommodate the

channel at Estero, we have substituted

Channel 224C1 for Channel 223C1 at

Key West, Florida, and modified the

license for Station WEOW accordingly.

The coordinates for Channel 224C1 at

Key West are 24–40–35 and 81–30–41.

The proposal for Everglades City is

dismissed as it has been determined that

a first local service at Estero will serve

a larger population than an allotment at

Everglades City. With this action, this

proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective July 17, 2000.
