Compliance Requirements.13 This

FNPRM requests comment and cost

studies (1) that quantify the incremental

costs of thousands-block number

pooling; (2) that quantify shared

industry and direct carrier-specific costs

of thousands-block number pooling; and

(3) that take into account the costs

savings associated with thousands-block

number pooling in comparison to the

current number practices that result in

more frequent area code changes.

16. Recordkeeping. None.

17. Other Compliance Requirements.

None.

18. Steps taken to Minimize

Significant Economic Impact on Small

Entities and Significant Alternatives

Considered. We have stated that section

251(e) does not exclude any class of

carriers and that all telecommunications

carriers must bear numbering

administration costs on a competitively

neutral basis.14 Therefore, we find that

section 251(e)(2) requires us to ensure

that the costs of numbering

administration, including thousandsblock number pooling, do not affect the

ability of carriers to compete. As such,

the costs of thousands-block number

pooling should not give one provider an

appreciable, incremental cost advantage

over another when competing for a

specific subscriber; and should not have

a disparate effect on competing

providers’ abilities to earn a normal

return.

19. Federal Rules That May Duplicate,

Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed

Rules. None.
