**1  Introduction**

 

**1.1   Purpose and Scope**

 

In accordancewith NeuStar’s National Pooling Administration contract1 and our constanteffort to provide the best support and value to both the FCC andtelecommunications industry, NeuStar, as the National Pooling Administrator(PA), hereby submits this change order Proposal to the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) for approval.  Thischange order complies with contractual requirements set forth in Attachment B,Section C of the Thousands-Block Pooling Contractor Technical Requirementsdated November 30, 2000, Sections 2.5 through 2.5.4, which reads as follows:

 

### **2.5  Changes inthe Environment**

### ** **

The FCC mayissue rules, requirements, or policy directives in the future, which mayincrease, decrease or otherwise modify the functions to be performed by thecontractor.  The contractor isadditionally subject to the provisions of the changes clause in Section 1.

 

### **2.5.1  Process**

### ** **

Accordingly,after a contractor is selected, the FCC, the NANC and/or the INC may establishNANP numbering resource plans, administrative directives, assignment guidelines(including modifications to existing assignment guidelines), and proceduresthat may have an effect on the functions performed by the contractor.

 

### **2.5.2  Changes**

### ** **

The contractorshall review changes when numbering resource plans, administrative directives,assignment guidelines, and procedures are initiated or modified to determine ifthere is any impact on the functions that they must perform.

 

### **2.5.3  Notifications**

### ** **

The contractorshall then, within a period of not more than 30 calendar days from said event(e.g., the date INC places an issue into Final Closure), provide theContracting Officer, state PUCs, and the NANC with written notice regardingthese changes and summarize the potential impact of the changes upon serviceand cost, if any.

 

### **2.5.4  Roles**

### ** **

The NANC shallreview the notice and provide a recommendation to the FCC regarding the effectof the contractor’s notice and supporting documentation.

 

The contractorshall comply with state regulatory decisions, rules and orders with respect topooling, as applicable, as long as they are not in conflict with FCC decisions,orders, and rules and are within state jurisdiction.

# **2   Service Provider Proposed Enhancement**

# ** **

Currentlythere is no Thousands-Block Part 4 Report in the Pooling Administration System(PAS).  Such a report would identify allof the blocks assigned to a service provider, and their respective Part 4 duedates, to maximize effective Part 4 management at the block level.  As a result of a request from a serviceprovider attached hereto in Appendix A, which proposed providing such a report,the Pooling Administrator submitted Change Order #25 to the FCC on November 20,2003.

 

At present,the Part 3 Effective Date is not part of the Part lA Report in PAS.  Again based upon a request from a service providerattached hereto in Appendix B, we submitted Change Order #34 to the FCC onSeptember 30, 2004.

 

On January 7,2005, the FCC recommended that the PA cancel Change Orders #25 and #34 andresubmit a new change order based on the Numbering Oversight Working Group(NOWG) recommendations set forth below. Change Order #39 is a result of that recommendation.  This document covers the required subjectmatters such as explaining the industry’s requirements, proposed solution,cost, risk, and assumptions.

 

In a documentdated February 12, 2004 regarding Change Order #25, the NOWG recommended asfollows to the FCC:

 

*Initially, the NOWG consulted with the PA to determine if existing PAreports with similar data could be modified, as opposed to developing a new reportfor this application.  However, the PAexplained it was necessary to develop the new report on a stand alone basis andusing part of an existing report wouldn’t reduce the cost.*

 

*In review of the PA ‘s proposed search criteria required to create thenew report(s), NOWG discovered the PAS functionality for Part 4 reports wouldnot be comparable to that presently used by SPs today in NANPA’s NAS (formallyCAS prior to February 9th) data base. The PA advised NOWG that the search criteria would require the SP tospecify OCN, state, NPA, and report type. The SP would not be allowed to search independently by OCN, State, NPAor any combination of these data elements. The NOWG believes the SP should be allowed to define either a narrow orbroad search, using these data elements, which better meets specific businessneeds.  For example, the SP should beable to create a report by specifying one or more OCNs, which in turn wouldprovide Part 4 information for all states and NPAs.*

 

*Based on this finding, the NOWG recommends this Change Order be deniedas proposed by NeuStar PA.  The PA shouldallow more flexibility in the search functionality used to create SP reports.*

 

----

 

In a documentdated January 5, 2005 regarding Change Order #34, the NOWG indicated as followsto the FCC:

 

*The originator of this request was attempting to find a way todetermine when the Part 4 would be due for block assignments.  Since the Part 1A report is the only reportcurrently available to SPs in PAS, this was an attempt to secure all of theinformation in “one place”.  Note: Theoriginator withdrew their (sic) request.*

 

*The NOWG believes that the purpose of this change order will be betterserved with a Part 4 report that was proposed in change order 25.  Change order 25 was not recommended forapproval by the NOWG due to the fact that the PA had not built-in enoughflexibility in the search functionality used to create SP reports.*

 

*The NOWG suggests that the PA should create a new change order(incorporating NOWG recommendations from 25 and 34) for a Part 4 report thatlists not only the LERG effective date, but also the date the Part 4 is due foreach block assignment.  The report shouldalso indicate if the Part 4 has been received or not.  (Indication could be as simple as the date thePart 4 was received and this field should be blank if the Part 4 has not yetbeen received by the PA.)*

 

# **3   The Proposal**

 

NeuStar’sNational Pooling Administrator reviewed the NOWG’s recommendations from boththe operational and technical perspectives. We believe that our proposed solution based on the NOWG recommendationset forth below will meet the requirements of the industry in a cost effectiveand efficient manner.

 

## **Solution**

## ** **

Two newreports will be added to the Reports section in PAS, a Part 4 Report and anAssignments Needing Part 4 Report, both of which will be accessible to thoseservice providers that are registered PAS users.

 

For the Part 4Report, the PAS users will be able to specify the date range (optional) and/orDCN and/or state and/or NPA as their search criteria.  Based on their identified search criteria,PAS will generate a Part 4 Report with the following information; state, NPA,NXX, X, OCN, type of request, rate area, assignment date, effective date,in-service date, Part 4 received date, and submitter.  The PAS user will have the option ofdownloading the report in an Excel format or printing it directly from PAS.

 

For theAssignments Needing Part 4 Report, the PAS user will be able to specify thedate range (optional) and/or OCN and/or state and/or NPA as their searchcriteria.  Based on their searchcriteria, PAS will generate the report with the following information; state,NPA, NXX, X, OCN, type of request, rate area, assignment date, effective dateand Part 4 due date.  Again, the PAS

user will havethe option of downloading the report in an Excel format or printing it directlyfrom PAS.

 

# **4   Risks and Assumptions**

 

Part of theNeuStar’s National Pooling Administrator assessment of this change order is toidentify the associated assumptions and consider the risks that have an impacton our operations.

 

### **A.  Assumptions**

### ** **

There are nonew assumptions inherent in this proposal.

 

### **B.  Risks**

### ** **

The proposedsolution does not present any additional risks to our operations.

 

### **C.  Impact onOperations**

### ** **

This proposedsolution does not impact our operations because this change order only affectsthe system.

 

# **5   Cost Assumptions and Summary**

# ** **

As with anychange order proposal, we also considered the associated costs that would bepotentially be incurred in implementing the proposed solution.  These cost include the resources required tocomplete the milestones on a time line for implementing the processes andsystem delineated in this change order. The timeline includes preparation, proper documentation updates,development, testing, monitoring, and execution of the solution.

 

The cost toimplement the proposed solution is $6,885.00.

 

# **6   Conclusion**

# ** **

In conclusion,the NeuStar National Pooling Administrator has offered a viable solution thatsupports the NOWG recommendations and addresses the request of the serviceproviders in accordance with contract terms, and we ask that the FCC review andapprove this change order proposal.

**Subject:**Part 4 due Report - PAS

 

HI Florence,

 

Thanks foryour help on this.  I made a mockup ofthe columns I want on the report.  Wewould want to report to come in excel or in a comma delimited flat file.  We would want it on the first day of themonth, automatically sent to:

 

darin.chester@attws.comand rick.stueckle@attws.com

 

All blocksassigned to ... that have not had a part 4 turned in and approved by PAS wouldbe on this report.  Data would be sortedby Part 4 due date, with those that are past due or currently due at the top,and the blocks most recently assigned at the bottom.  Once a block has a part 4 submitted andaccepted then it falls off this report.

 

Please take alook and let us know what the charge would be so we can make a decision on thisreport.

 

Thanks muchFlorence!

Currently CAS has this report, but PAS does not.  The SP should be able to query this report atanytime via the PAS website, and do so at the NPA level and/or OCN level.  Report should have the ability to transfer toExcel easily.  This report shouldindicate the following columns (in order, left to right):

**Subject:**RE: idea to help view PAS information

 

On the Part 1AReport you would like to see the Part 3 Effective Date added.  *Yes thisis correct*

 

When you go toView Form and enter the block number, you would like to see the query resultsjust limited to the specific block rather than everything associated with theTracking Number.

 

Or                                                           *If at all possible I think that the query resultsjust limited to the specific block rather than everything associated with theTracking Number is good, but to also add the NPA/NXX/X associated to the Part1B, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 under the “Link to Form” heading also*

 

When you go toView Form and enter the block number, you would like to see the blockassociated to the Part 1B, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 under the “Link to Form”heading.

 

Which optiondo you prefer?

 

Also, thechange order that is pending with the FCC regarding adding a Thousands-BlockPart 4 Report to PAS will provide the following information: state, NPA, NXX,X, OCN, type of request, rate center, assignment date, effective date, Part 4due date, Part 4 received date and submitter. *This sounds good*

Hi Bree,

 

This is afollow up to our earlier discussion.

 

On the Part 1AReport you would like to see the Part 3 Effective Date added.

 

When you go toView Form and enter the block number, you would like to see the query resultsjust limited to the specific block rather than everything associated with theTracking Number.

 

Or

When you go toView Form and enter the block number, you would like to see the blockassociated to the Part IB, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 under the “Link to Form”heading.

 

Which optiondo you prefer?

 

Also, thechange order that is pending with the FCC regarding adding a Thousands-BlockPart 4 Report to PAS will provide the following information: state, NPA, NXX,X, GCN, type of request, rate center, assignment date, effective date, Part 4due date, Part 4 received date and submitter.

 

Please let meknow if I’ve captured everything.

# **1   Introduction**

# ** **

## **1.1   Purposeand Scope**

## ** **

In accordancewith NeuStar’s National Pooling Administration contract and our constant effortto provide the best support and value to both the FCC and thetelecommunications industry, NeuStar, as the National Pooling Administrator(PA), hereby submits this change order proposal to the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) for approval. This change order complies with the contractualrequirements set forth in Attachment B, Section C of the Thousands-BlockPooling Contractor Technical Requirements, dated November 30, 2000, Sections2.5 through 2.5.4, which read as follows:

 

### **2.5  Changes inthe Environment**

### ** **

The FCC mayissue rules, requirements, or policy directives in the future, which mayincrease, decrease or otherwise modify the functions to be performed by thecontractor. The contractor is additionally subject to the provisions of thechanges clause in Section 1.

 

### **2.5.1  Process**

### ** **

Accordingly,after a contractor is selected, the FCC, the NANC and/or the INC may establishNANP numbering resource plans, administrative directives, assignment guidelines(including modifications to existing assignment guidelines), and proceduresthat may have an effect on the functions performed by the contractor.

 

### **2.5.2  Changes**

### ** **

The contractorshall review changes when numbering resource plans, administrative directives,assignment guidelines, and procedures are initiated or modified to determine ifthere is any impact on the functions that they must perform.

 

### **2.5.3 Notifications**

The contractorshall then, within a period of not more than 30 calendar days from said event(e.g., the date INC places an issue into Final Closure), provide theContracting Officer, state PUCs, and the NANC with written notice regardingthese changes and summarize the potential impact of the changes upon serviceand cost, if any.

 

### **2.5.4  Roles**

### ** **

The NANC shallreview the notice and provide a recommendation to the FCC regarding the effectof the contractor’s notice and supporting documentation.

This documentprovides the information required by the contract, such as identifying the newrequirements of the expanded scope of work, offering our proposed solution, andaddressing its cost, risks, and assumptions. These proposed changes wereinitiated by requests by PAS users, which include service providers andregulators.

 

# **2   PAS Users’ Proposed Enhancements**

# ** **

The PA hasreceived the following requests from PAS users to add various items to thePooling Administration System (PAS). In the judgment of the PA, these sevenproposed changes will afford value to the users of PAS.

 

**Request1:** It has been suggested that PAS users should havethe option of having Part 3s, Part 4 reminders notices, etc. that are generatedfrom the PAS, sent to an additional designated person or persons besides theuser.

 

**Request2:** Currently the block report can only be queried bystate and NPA. A service provider requested that we enhance the existing querycapabilities for the block report by allowing users to query at the rate centerlevel in addition to the state and NPA.

 

**Request3:** Currently the PAS help desk administrator mustre-set the password for all external PAS users. It has been suggested that weallow users to request through the PAS that the system generate a new passwordfor them, so they do not have to be dependent upon the Number Pooling CustomerSupport to reset the password.

 

**Request4:** Currently, when the PA processes a block donationin PAS, an e-mail notification is automatically sent to the user with themessage shown below, directing the user to check his or her work item list forfurther details.

 

The PoolingAdministrator has processed donations submitted on 11/03. Please check yourWork Item list in the Pooling Administration System for more details.Questions???? Please contact our Customer Support Desk at 866-NeuPool(866-638-7665)

 

The requestorsuggested that the existing e-mail show the disposition of the block donation,to eliminate the additional step for the SP of locating the disposition of theblock donation within the user’s work items in PAS.

 

**Request5:** Currently, when PAS users apply for multiple blocksin PAS, they can submit one Part lA application only if the information foreach thousand-block remains the same (effective date, rate center, switch,etc.). It has been suggested that the user should have the ability to specify adifferent **effective date** for eachthousand-block when requesting multiple thousands-blocks on one application.

 

**Request6:** Currently, when a service provider submits a blockrequest, the PAS allows the user to view a list of available blocks andindicate a preferred thousands-block or thousands-blocks on his or her Part lA.However, the preferred block(s) may not be available by the time theapplication is processed. Some users have assumed that if they requestedspecific blocks on their applications, they will be issued those particularblocks at the time their requests are processed.

 

----

 

A serviceprovider has suggested that a disclaimer should be added, explaining that eventhough a block may be available at the time of application, it may not beavailable at the time the PA processes the request.

 

**Request7:** Currently, when a user has a period of inactivityin PAS that reaches 120 calendar days, the PAS user ID is deactivated. The usermust then contact the Number Pooling Customer Support and request to have hisor her user ID re-activated and a new password issued, which requires thewritten approval from the company contact listed in the user’s profile. It hasbeen suggested that the PAS notify the user via an e-mail of the pendingde-activation date.

 

**3   TheProposal**

 

NeuStar’sNational Pooling Administrator has reviewed the proposed PAS user enhancementsfrom both the operational and technical perspectives. We believe that ourproposed solutions as set forth below will benefit the industry in acost-effective and efficient manner.

 

**Solution**

 

**Request1:** Add a new section to the user profile screenentitled “Additional Contacts.” This will allow the user to add up to threeadditional contacts and provide the ability to specify which forms or noticesthose additional contacts should receive.

 

**Request2:** Add the rate center as an additional searchcriterion to the block report. This additional search criterion will allow theuser to narrow the query to the rate center level.

 

**Request3:** Add a new option to the user profile link entitled“Re-set Password” which will allow users to request that the PAS reset theirrespective passwords at any time, as long as they have their current password,without the need to go through the help desk. The PAS will then generate a neweight character alphanumeric password.

 

**Request4:** Add information in the body of the e-mail responseto the user, advising of the disposition of each block listed on the donationrequest.

 

**Request5:** For all new individual block requests, new full NXXrequests to replenish the pool, and full NXX requests for an LRN, the PAS willbe modified to allow the user to request a different effective date for eachblock requested as long as all the other block information is the same. Inaddition, on each preliminary Part 1B screen, a PAS change will permit the userto enter a different block effective date than the dates requested in Section1.3 of the Part 1A. The standard 31-calendar day interval will be populated,and it will be the responsibility of the user to modify the effective date.

 

**Request6:** Add a disclaimer notice on the PAS Part 1A screenin the thousands block assignment preference section explaining that eventhough a block may be available at the time of application, it may be not beavailable at the time the PA processes the request.

 

**Request7:** PAS will be modified to notify the user via ane-mail of the pending deactivation date of his or her password at least tencalendar days prior to the planned deactivation date and

 

----

 

then (if thereis still no activity) again three calendar days prior to the planneddeactivation date. This will allow the user to log in to the system andre-start the clock for inactivity status.

 

# **4   Assumptions and Risks**

 

Part of thePooling Administrator’s assessment of this change order is to identify theassociated assumptions and consider the risks that can have an impact on ouroperations.

 

This ChangeOrder affects only the system, and would have no impact on our day-to-dayoperations.

 

# **5   Cost**

 

As with anychange order proposal, we also considered the associated costs that wouldpotentially be incurred in implementing the proposed solutions. These costsinclude the resources required to complete the milestones on a timeline forimplementing the processes and system delineated in this change order. Thetimeline includes preparation, proper documentation updates, development,testing, monitoring, and execution of the solution.

 

The cost toimplement all of our proposed solutions at one time would be $24,774.00.

 

The cost foreach individual proposal is as follows:

 

Request 1: $8,640.00

Request 2: $1,679.00

Request 3: $2,320.00

Request 4: $1,679.00

Request 5: $7,967.00

Request 6: $321.00

Request 7: $3,679.00

 

**6  Conclusion**

 

In conclusion, the PoolingAdministrator offers viable solutions that address the various requests of thePAS users in accordance with contract terms, and we ask that the FCC review andapprove this change order proposal.
