North American Numbering Plan Administrator


 


Dear Mr. Oakey:


 


Please find enclosed an Original and five (5) copies of NeuStar, Inc.’s
Technical and Management Proposal, Volume 1, in response to the
above-referenced solicitation.  The
Proposal is compliant in all respects with the instructions to offerors set
forth in the Solicitation, and NeuStar, Inc. will fully comply with all
delivery requirements set forth in Sections C and G of the Solicitation and the
NANPA Technical Requirements Document (TRD) attached to the solicitation. In
addition, NeuStar, Inc. hereby acknowledges receipt of the Commission’s answers
dated April 17, 2003 in response to Bidders’ questions. For convenience of
evaluators, and as required, NeuStar has cross-referenced its proposal response
with the evaluation criteria and applicable requirements set forth in
Solicitation Sections L.5 and M and the TRD. This cross-reference is provided
within parentheses in the table of contents and in the sections themselves.


 


During the last five plus years, NeuStar, Inc. has successfully served
as the NANPA, providing consistently improved service to the Commission and
other stakeholders.  Our solution
epitomizes best value from: 1) unmatched NANP administration experience, 2)
outstanding past NANPA performance, 3) a new state-of-the-art NANP Administration
System, 4) a guaranteed seamless and low-risk progression to the next NANPA
term, and 5) a low fixed price.


 


We look forward to continuing our role as the
NANPA.  Should you have any questions, or
need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[* * *].  I am NeuStar’s authorized
negotiator for this proposal, and am authorized to bind NeuStar to any contract
resulting herefrom.


 


Very truly yours,


NeuStar, Inc.

PROPOSAL OVERVIEW


 


NeuStar’s
“best value” NANPA offering will provide the Commission and the industry with
the highest quality and lowest risk solution, delivered by a vendor with
unmatched experience and unassailable neutrality.


 


[* * *]


 


NeuStar offers the Commission and the industry two
factors that are simply unavailable from any other vendor: unmatched experience
and unassailable neutrality.  In addition
to these corporate qualities, NeuStar’s integrated operations and technology
solution offers the highest quality and lowest risk.  NeuStar further sets itself apart from the
competition by offering this high-quality, low-risk solution at a competitive
price, thus demonstrably providing “best value” to the Commission.


 


Unmatched Experience


 


NeuStar’s
numerous accomplishments during the first NANPA term are the foundation for the
second term.


 


NeuStar’s administration of vital numbering resources
has been a steady and reliable beacon throughout this period of competitive
upheaval in telecommunications.  Since
its selection by the Commission in 1997 as the first and only impartial NANPA,
NeuStar has effectively and efficiently administered the NANP, working
cooperatively with the FCC to rigorously implement the Commission’s numbering
orders and rules throughout this turbulent time.  NeuStar served as the Commission’s instrument
to enact the bold, innovative measures needed to ensure the viability of the
NANP.  In the final analysis, NeuStar not
only has managed numbering resources, but has also managed the impact of
dramatic industry changes on these critical resources.  [* * *]


 


[* * *]


 


NeuStar’s experience is embodied in its existing NANPA
organization. Key personnel within this group, led by Mr. John Manning, have
over 130 years of combined industry and regulatory experience and over 40 years
of actual, direct NANPA experience. It is a veteran team, widely respected as
industry experts, working together cohesively and efficiently. NeuStar will
augment this team with experienced technical experts to deliver the new system
specified in the solicitation.  All
proposed “Key Personnel” are already on board and other personnel needed on Day
One have been named and are poised to commence work immediately under the next
term.


 





















 


[* * *] 
In addition, the NeuStar’s NANPA organization is dedicated solely to the
performance of NANPA functions, and reports directly to a company officer.  Any problems will be diagnosed quickly,
escalated through a short chain of command, and resolved expeditiously.


 


[* * *]


 


Unassailable Neutrality


 


At
NeuStar, neutrality is not a platitude; it is our identity.  Our neutrality ensures timely, fair, and
even-handed NANP resource administration now and into the future.


 


The neutrality of the NANPA is critical to the
effective administration of NANP resources, and is an essential component of a
vendor’s value. Neutrality is vital because the Commission and service providers
must rely upon the NANPA to administer numbering resources strictly in
accordance with Commission rules and industry guidelines, and in an even-handed,
neutral manner ensuring that no particular industry segment or technology is
unduly advantaged or disadvantaged.


 


[* * *]


 


NeuStar satisfies all of the Commission’s strict
criteria for being a neutral third party. 
Our neutrality is not sheltered, fenced-off, or confined to certain
groups and organizations; rather, it is deeply ingrained throughout the entire
company and fundamental to our existence and way of doing business. All NeuStar
employees follow a strict FCC-approved neutrality “Code of Conduct”. NeuStar
employs an independent FCC-approved auditor to verify that our services are
being provided in a neutral fashion and to confirm our ongoing adherence to the
neutrality Code of Conduct.  NeuStar has
passed all 11 quarterly audits to-date, a spotless record.


 


NeuStar’s neutrality goes beyond its Code of Conduct
and the day-to-day actions of its personnel and extends to the corporate
level.  [* * *]


 


Lowest Risk Deployment and Operations


 


NeuStar’s
transition plan, combined with its position as the incumbent NANPA, ensures a
smooth, flawless migration to the NANP administration system (NAS) followed by
effective, reliable operations.


 


[* * *]


 





















 


NeuStar has developed a sound migration plan and will
concentrate on the development and deployment of the new NANPA system the
moment the contract is awarded. NeuStar can successfully transition NANPA
operations to the NAS after the development period without having to hire any
staff or conduct NANPA process and familiarization training.


 


Upon review of the NANPA system requirements and the
specified deployment schedule, NeuStar quickly determined that the timeline is
very aggressive.  However, NeuStar can
and will meet the schedule challenge by leveraging the business rules,
algorithms, and logic from the current NANPA systems and the application
framework of NeuStar’s National Pooling Administration System.  [* * *]


 


As if the schedule challenge is not enough, the new
NANPA vendor must flawlessly migrate a tremendous volume of data (historical
and current) from the current NANPA systems to the new system.  To successfully complete this undertaking,
the selected vendor must possess detailed understanding of all current NANPA
systems, database schemas, and underlying logic.  [* * *]


 


[* * *] 
NeuStar’s experience will enable the Commission’s limited resources to
focus on its core policymaking mission, with the assurance that NANP resource
administration is in qualified hands.


 


In addition, in today’s environment, many state
regulatory agencies and, in particular, service providers, have significantly
downsized their organizations, requiring their numbering resource personnel to
do more with less.  As a result, they
simply cannot afford the time and effort to “train” a new NANPA, nor should
they have to endure the resulting disruptions of an inexperienced NANPA—during
transition or through a long learning curve performing day-to-day
responsibilities.


 


By retaining NeuStar as the NANPA, the Commission can
minimize overall program risk and be confident that a new NANPA system will be
successfully deployed, data will be accurately migrated, and high-quality NANPA
operations will continue without interruption.


 


Highest Quality Solution


 


NeuStar
has formed its NANPA solution using the highest quality combination of software,
infrastructure, processes, and personnel.


 


As a vital tool for NANPA, the quality of the NAS
serves as the foundation of NeuStar’s solution. 
NeuStar’s current NANPA systems—CAS, DDS, and the NRUF—all operational
and


 





















 


error-free, along with the
production-proven National PA System application framework, will serve as the
foundation for NAS.  NeuStar will
leverage these quality software components to deliver a stable, fully
functional, integrated, productivity-enhancing system on time.  Additionally, NeuStar’s NAS will offer
tangible improvements over the current NANPA technology suite, including an
application portal with unified logins and security, a redesigned web site, expanded
automated resource management, and integrated forecasting.


 


To meet the solicitation’s reliability, capacity,
throughput, and availability requirements, [* * *]  Although the technical requirements in the
solicitation are virtually identical to those for PAS, NeuStar has improved
upon the PAS architecture in the areas of security and performance.  NeuStar has designed NAS to offer the high
availability prescribed by requirements. 
At carefully selected points in the architecture, redundancy has been
added, either locally or cross-site, guaranteeing high availability.


 


While the technical quality of the architecture is
impressive, it is surpassed only by the quality of NeuStar’s NANPA team.  For example, NeuStar’s NANPA team goes beyond
simple understanding of NANPA process flows. 
NeuStar’s team fully understands why processes flow the way they do, the
rationale for decisions leading to the process flows, and the comprehensive
impact of potential change on process stakeholders.  [* * *]


 


The NANPA review process provides concrete evidence of
this quality.  The real-world performance
of the NeuStar NANPA team has been monitored continuously and undergone formal
yearly reviews by NANC-selected industry experts and has been found to
repeatedly exceed the stringent expectations of the industry.

I.              TECHNICAL FACTORS (RFP L.5, M.2.A)


 


NeuStar
will combine a highly qualified staff with a new, state-of-the-art NANP
Administration System, and a proven “jump start” implementation approach to
ensure a seamless, low risk transition and outstanding performance throughout
the next term.


 


The successful next term NANPA must demonstrate
through directly relevant past performance its ability to: 1) develop and
deploy a comprehensive NANP Administration System (NAS) per the detailed
technical and functional requirements of the solicitation; 2) convert and
migrate data flawlessly from the current NANPA systems (CAS, DDS, and NRUF)
into this new NAS; and 3) administer all NANP resources in a fair, impartial,
cost-effective, and high quality manner. 
NeuStar is that vendor.


 


NeuStar proposes a highly functional, reliable, and
available NAS hardware and software solution that meets and, in several areas,
exceeds the requirements.  This solution
leverages the algorithms, business logic, and application framework, as appropriate,
from the current NANPA systems and the National Pooling Administration System
(PAS).  This approach greatly reduces
schedule risk, and provides the same look-and-feel of PAS, enabling end-users
to reduce training time and increase productivity.  NeuStar’s proposed NAS is detailed in
Proposal Section I.1.


 


NeuStar has outlined a sound implementation plan with
comprehensive approaches to staffing, risk management, change control, and
quality assurance. 
[* * *]  This approach
allows for increased development and test time, which translates into a higher
quality system and materially reduces schedule risk.  NeuStar’s proposed implementation approach is
described in Proposal Section I.2.


 


NeuStar’s expertise in the most important aspect of
the NANPA function—service to all stakeholders—is discussed in Proposal Section
I.3.  In this section, NeuStar
demonstrates its intimate knowledge and thorough understanding of rules and
procedures in the Commission’s Reports and Orders governing the NANPA, the
nuances of these orders and the requisite processes associated not only with
code administration, relief planning, and NRUF, but for the administration of
other resources as well.


 





















 


I.1           NANP ADMINISTRATION
SYSTEM TECHNICAL APPROACH (RFP L.5,
M.2.A.1, TRD 7)


 


NeuStar’s
state-of-the-art NAS will build on and evolve from the proven business logic of
our current CAS, DDS, and NRUF tools to support all existing and newly required
capabilities, while greatly improving the capacity, availability, and security
of the current solution.


 


NeuStar is privileged to offer a NAS, which represents
the evolution of its current solutions for NANPA.


 


NeuStar’s NANPA software currently consists of three
separate and distinct tools, each performing specialized tasks.  The Code Administration System (CAS) provides
functionality focused on facilitating CO code administration.  NeuStar’s Document Distribution Service (DDS)
provides a mechanism for users to electronically subscribe to and receive
notifications relating to NPA relief planning, which proved to be a highly
efficient and successful alternative to faxing documentation to hundreds of
interested parties.  Finally, the Number
Resource Utilization and Forecasting (NRUF) tools provide a mechanism through
which numbering resource utilization/forecasts can be submitted by service
providers and processed by NANPA personnel. 
Each of these tools has proven to be an effective mechanism, greatly
increasing the productivity of NeuStar’s NANPA team and NANPA customers alike.


 


Much of the capability provided by these tools was
conceived and defined by NeuStar NANPA personnel, on their own initiative,
without formal requirements or requests from the FCC or other clients.  NeuStar produced the tools to facilitate the
tasks related to the administration of the NANP, and implemented them with the
concurrence of the FCC.


 


The time has now arrived for a new NANPA term.  Understandably, the current NANPA tools’
capability, maintainability, and capacity should not only be preserved, but
also formalized, integrated, and augmented. 
Having conceived, designed, and implemented much of the functionality
associated with the current NANPA tools, NeuStar is uniquely qualified to
transform these and grow a state-of-the-art, next-generation integrated system,
while deriving maximum reuse of the business logic behind existing tools—a mark
of best value.  Not only will NeuStar
ensure that NAS will fully comply with the stringent requirements and
expectations set forth in the FCC’s solicitation, but NeuStar will also
introduce the following innovations as well:


 





















 


•                  NeuStar’s NAS architecture offers extraordinary availability[* * *], minimal
scheduled downtime, real-time data replication, and a fully capable backup site
that will also serve as a development and test environment for future enhancements—easily
surpassing the solicitation requirements.


 


•                  NeuStar will combine the three currently separate
NANPA tools (DDS, CAS, and NRUF) into an,
integrated system, increasing data security, enhancing data integrity and facilitating
information dissemination and availability.  Only NeuStar can completely ensure that none
of these tools’ current capabilities will be compromised in any way as these
functionalities are integrated into NAS.


 


•                  The NAS will permit real-time
access  to resource status reports,
ensuring up-to-the-minute information availability to both regulatory personnel
and the industry.


 


•                  The NAS will continue
to provide state regulatory commissions with data on applications
for, and NANPA confirmations of, CO code assignments allowing states to effectively
monitor and, when necessary, take appropriate action concerning the use of CO
codes in their respective states.


 


•                  The NAS will automatically
process applications for changes to existing CO code assignments,
significantly reducing the number of
applications requiring manual Code Administrator (CA) review, thus expediting the processing of such
requests.  Specifically, requests to
change the Operating Company Number (OCN) associated with a CO code assignment
will be processed without CA involvement, provided both the old and new OCNs
are included in the applicant’s profile. 
Further, in accordance with current INC guidelines, the system will no
longer require service providers to submit changes involving the switch
identification and tandem homing arrangements.


 


•                  The NAS will accept
online submission of applications for Feature Group B and D Carrier
Identification Codes (CICs), 500 NXXs, 900 NXXs, 456 NXX codes, 800-885 and 555
line numbers, using new error checking
capabilities to ensure accurate and complete applications are
submitted by service providers for prompt processing.


 


•                  In addition to accepting online submissions of NRUF
Form 502, the NAS will also permit service
providers to update and/or correct previously submitted data in real-time,
making it easier for service providers to ensure more accurate data is
collected, especially between


 





















 


reporting cycles.  Further,
making this process easier for the industry will encourage service providers to update NRUF information more often,
especially forecast data, which will allow NANPA to continually assess forecast
versus actual CO code assignments and make appropriate adjustments to NPA and
NANP exhaust projections, minimizing the chances of NPA jeopardies and
premature number exhaust.


 


•                  The NAS will permit password-protected access by state
regulatory commissions to service provider submitted NRUF data for the NPAs
within their states.  States will now have online access to both current
NRUF data and previously submitted service provider data.  The NRUF data provided via CD will also be
available to those states that desire to obtain this information on an
as-needed basis.


 


•                  The updated NANPA website
will provide improved navigation tools
to assist visitors in finding information in a more user-friendly manner. 
Based on NeuStar’s experience as the NANPA and understanding of the
variety of visitors that use the website, NeuStar will organize the site to
address the needs of regulatory personnel and industry for detailed data while providing
the general public easy access to topical numbering information like area code
maps.


 


Exhibit I-1, illustrates the transformation of NeuStar’s
NANPA tools into integrated NANPA system architecture.  The following describes NeuStar’s NAS,
carefully examining its functionality, architecture, robustness, security, as
well as infrastructure management and operational capabilities.


 





















 


[Exhibit I-1: Graphic Design]


 


I.1.1        NAS
Functionality (TRD 7.2, 7.18)


The integrated NAS represents a transformation from
the systems that currently support the NANPA. 
It includes capabilities such as a redesigned website, a unified
resource management approach, integrated forecasting functionality, enhanced
document notification, and comprehensive reporting.  Taken individually and compared to the
capabilities provided by the current NANPA tools, the changes appear to be
incremental.  However, when viewed as a
whole, the result is a thorough overhaul that will improve the usability of
NANPA end user tools and position NeuStar as the NANPA of the future, while at
the same time maintaining the elements of the current NANPA software that have
made it so successful over the years.


 


I.1.1.1     Website (TRD 7.1.2, 7.7, 7.9, 7.11, 7.18, 7.19)


The current NANPA website is the single authoritative
source of internet-based NANP information for the members of the NANP
constituency.  During the past five
years, the NANP website has gradually evolved as the volume and complexity of
the information has grown.  The site also
has changed to reflect the changing standards of website design.


 


As part of the NAS deployment, NeuStar is proposing a
significant redesign of the NANPA website. 
This redesign will improve the organization and usability of the
existing website, provide an integrated portal for the NAS application, and
provide a solid foundation for the planned expansion of the website during the
upcoming NANPA term.  Through its many communication
mechanisms (email distribution lists, newsletters, NANC reports, etc.), NeuStar
will convey ongoing information and updates to educate users and ensure a
smooth transition to the new NANPA website


 


Website
organization and usability—In 1997, when the original NANPA requirements were
developed, the website was envisioned as a secondary source for NANP
information.  The primary source was, of
course, paper that was laboriously distributed by mail or fax to the NANPA
stakeholders.  NeuStar recognized that
the website could provide up-to-the-minute information in a form that could be
readily downloaded at the convenience of the site visitor. [* * *]


 


[* * *] 
Other than the NANPA website, there is very little “official” numbering
information available on the internet. 
As a result, the website, originally designed as a reference for
numbering experts, came to be used by the general public, who did not
understand why so many new area codes were being introduced.


 





















 


NeuStar is uniquely qualified to redesign the site for
two key reasons.  First, through software
that monitors access to the website, NeuStar designers know the pages that are
most frequently visited.  A clear
objective of the redesign is to make those pages as easy to reach as
possible.  Secondly, NeuStar receives a
significant volume of user feedback from site visitors.  Email response traffic varies, ranging from
25-100 emails per day.  Recurring
questions in these emails provide powerful insight into what users want to know
about numbering issues.


 


NeuStar has begun identifying and cataloging ideas and
plans for site reorganization.  As specific
examples, NeuStar plans to design the architecture of the site around whole
pages, replacing the current frame-based architecture.  The use of integrated pages makes the site
easier for others to link to and to bookmark. 
It also provides a better user experience to those finding the NANPA
site via search engine and directory referrals, and should serve to facilitate
search engine listing of the site, making NANPA information more easily found
on the Web.  The design and development
work for the website redesign is currently underway and will be accomplished as
part of the overall NAS rollout.


 


As part of the site reorganization, the site will also
be reviewed to ensure accessibility, keyboard navigability, and other important
usability principles as described in the solicitation.  The website will also include search engine
functionality and will be updated within one business day of any document
change or release.  As with all of
NeuStar’s websites, the NANPA websites (NANPA and NANC Chair) will comply with
the industry’s evolving best practices for privacy, including, for example, the
Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 and other applicable legislation and guidelines.


 


Website application
portal—The NAS will provide a
single, unified web-based system that incorporates the functions of numbering
resource management, forecasting, notifications, and reporting.  This web-based system will provide a single
user sign-on and common “look-and-feel” for the user interactions required by
these operational functions.  NANPA
personnel will also use the same web-based interface, leveraging the role-based
application security provided by the NAS architecture.


 


The application portal will contain user profile
management functions.  These functions
will allow NANPA personnel to maintain comprehensive user contact
information.  Users will obtain a login
through a request form.  The request form
will be routed to a login administrator, who will process the application and
(if approved) assign a unique login ID, initial password, and appropriate


 





















 


security level.  NANPA personnel will administer all logins
and will perform routine tasks such as account disabling, resetting lost
passwords, and resolving logon problems.


 


Of the three tools currently supporting NANPA, only
NRUF lacks a web-based interface.  The
NAS forecasting functions will provide the ability to submit forecasts via the
web interface in a way that NeuStar pioneered with its PAS software.  The other two tools (CAS and DDS) currently
provide a web-based interface; however, they are not integrated.  The NAS will accomplish this integration,
providing users with a single authentication mechanism for all system
interactions.


 


[* * *] 
By organizing NAS around an application portal, NeuStar is taking
tangible steps to “future-proof” NAS to be able to adopt the management of
additional resources.  NeuStar’s unique
understanding of the business processes which underlie numbering resource
management enables it to build an application portal infrastructure which is
capable of future growth while not compromising near-term delivery and quality.


 


Directions
for website expansion—With the past as an indicator, NeuStar recognizes that it is not
possible to perfectly predict the ways in which web technology will evolve
throughout the upcoming NANPA term. 
Consequently, NeuStar will undertake technology-based site changes and
leverage newly available technologies only with a clearly defined payback and a
clear understanding of the associated risks.


 


NeuStar’s directions for site expansion are directly
targeted at increasing the volume, ease, and relevance of communication among
NANPA stakeholders.  Among the
possibilities that NeuStar is considering during the upcoming NANPA term are:
message boards for discussion among NAS users, the introduction of a “web log”
(a.k.a. “blog”) mechanism to allow NANPA personnel to post content dynamically,
and expansion of information targeted to consumers.  None of the areas for website expansion would
have any significant impact on the overall stability or performance of the
NANPA website.  NeuStar would undertake
activities in these areas after duly consulting with the NANPA stakeholders.


 


I.1.1.2     Numbering
Resource Administration (TRD 7.1.3, 7.4,
7.18.1-2, 7.18.6-7)


Numbering resource administration is the core
functional responsibility of NANPA.  As
the neutral authoritative administrator of telecommunications numbering
resources, the NANPA requires a robust, reliable, secure platform to facilitate
the efficient management of numbering resources.  [* * *]


 





















 


The numbering resource administration functions will
use categories and formats that correspond to those currently used, enforcing
business rules as applicable.  They will
also evolve (as necessary) to comply with regulatory directives and industry
guidelines.


 


Flexible
framework—While
the majority of the work currently conducted by NeuStar as the NANPA involves
administering NPAs and CO codes, NeuStar’s responsibilities are much broader,
requiring the management of resources as varied as CICs, 555, and 900
NXXs.  Recognizing this, NeuStar’s NAS
solution provides a single, integrated point of contact for all resource
requests.  This solution will eliminate
the need for paper-based interchange of documents that currently takes place
for these low-volume resources being managed by NeuStar.


 


At the heart of NeuStar’s NAS is a flexible framework
for managing resource administration that revolves around the exchange of
documents between Service Providers (SPs) and NeuStar.  This system provides a generic framework for
an exchange of documents between the SP and NeuStar to request a change in
resource allocation.  This generic
framework allows NeuStar to provide resource-specific documents and interaction
protocols while maintaining the integrity of the business processes that make
each resource unique.  Additionally, the
framework will allow for the addition of both new data elements, new NPAs, new
resources, and, if necessary, expansion of the NANP.


 


The basic allocation process during resource management
involves a three-part document exchange between the SP and NeuStar.  First, the SP requests a resource.  Then, typically, NeuStar responds with the
requested resource, after verifying the resource request.  Finally, the SP replies to NeuStar to indicate
the resource has been put in service (See Exhibit I-2).  The simplicity of the document interchange
belies the subtleties of the business rules that must be implemented within the
system.  For example, if an NPA is
considered to be in jeopardy, only a particular number of resources can be
allocated in a given month; the remaining requests may have to be carried over
to the next month.


 


NeuStar’s NAS framework accommodates these kinds of
important differences in resource management processes and will capture, as
part of the system’s enforced business rules, NeuStar’s unique understanding of
the processes that must be seamlessly managed by NANPA.


 


Batch Processing (EFT)—In addition to online web-based
processing, the NAS framework also includes Electronic File Transfer (EFT) via
batch submission using XML-based file formats. 
Users initiate the batch process by submitting a file to an EFT
server.  Then, periodically, a scheduled
job runs on the batch application server that sequentially processes all available
files.  A


 





















 


file will generally
contain multiple transactions.  Each file
is processed and its transactions flow through the same edits and business
rules as an online transaction.  Subsequently,
corresponding updates are made to the database and (as appropriate) email
notifications are sent to users.  After
the system processes each file, it constructs a response file (also in XML)
that is placed on the EFT server, where it will be picked up by the user.


 


[***]


 


Workflow
management—In
addition to the document exchange facilities required for NANPA, NeuStar’s NAS
will provide advanced workflow management tools for both NANPA and SP
personnel.  These workflow management
tools will be based upon the tools NeuStar provides to the users of its
PAS.  NeuStar will provide the same
productivity-enhancing functionality to NAS users as well.


 


NeuStar’s workflow tools provide a simple work list
for each user.  The work list contains
all of the work items assigned to that user. 
Each work item represents either a task that the user must complete, or
a notification that some activity has occurred. 
When the user selects the work item, the system shows the appropriate
form to the user and guides the user through the task completion process.  The workflow tools will provide many benefits
to NANPA users.  These benefits
specifically include:


 


•                  Request flow—Individual requests will move smoothly
through the process, meeting deadlines and receiving proper attention.


 


•                  Work prioritization—The work item list will provide all NAS
users with a simple, useful mechanism to prioritize work.


 


•                  Email notification—As deadlines approach, the email
notification mechanism will send reminders directly to end-user accounts, a
capability that will be especially useful to occasional users of NANPA systems.


 


•                  Audit history—The workflow tools will provide
time-stamped logs of actions taken on resource requests.


 


All of these benefits are delivered in an application
that integrates smoothly with the day-to-day operational tasks of all NANPA
users.  Further, the generic nature of
the NAS resource management infrastructure, which includes mechanisms for
document exchange, flexible business rules, and workflow management tools,
means that NeuStar’s NAS is well-positioned to adapt to the


 





















 


necessary changes that
will emerge from the inevitable industry changes during the next NANPA term.


 


I.1.1.3     Forecasting (TRD 7.4.3, 7.18.1, 7.18.3)


Of the core NANPA functions, forecasting numbering
usage and exhaust is both the most important and most difficult.  [* * *]


 


FCC’s current basis for NANP exhaust forecasting, the
NRUF tool, broke new ground by forcing quantitative discipline into the NANP
growth process.  The activity of
soliciting input from each SP, combining those inputs, and adding forecasting
algorithms introduced the well-understood process of capacity planning to an
area that had previously not needed such rigor.


 


The NAS software will maintain the high-quality
forecasting algorithms that NeuStar pioneered as the NANPA while expanding upon
it in several key areas. First, forecasting functionality will be integrated
into NAS and provided under the unified NAS login. This will allow SPs to
submit forecasts via file transfer, improving the security and certainty of
delivery over the current email approach. Additionally, SPs will be able to
perform forecasting tasks using a web-based user interface. This represents a
significant step forward from the current approach, which only allows
file-based submissions. Lastly, the forecasting business rules and data storage
will be integrated into NAS.  This will
be an improvement from the current tool, which was developed as a needs-based,
add-on to the current NANPA tools. With these improvements, SPs will now be
able to benefit from the ability to submit CO code requests immediately after
the submission of their forecasts rather than waiting until the next business
day.


 


While NeuStar will place considerable effort into
improving the integration of forecasting within the sphere of NAS, it believes
the most critical part of software-based forecasting continues to be the
analytical algorithms used to accomplish the task.  NeuStar developed initial versions of these
algorithms in collaboration with the Commission and the industry.  They have a simple goal: to estimate the
exhaust of NANP resources. However, the algorithms embody considerable
complexity.  During the years of
operating the NRUF, NeuStar has made (and continues to make) refinements to the
algorithms. Additionally, the process of forecasting cannot be reduced solely
to quantitative mechanisms. As the current NANPA, NeuStar uses the NRUF
software, combined with local knowledge and the unmatched experience of the
NANPA staff, to produce forecasts that have been accepted by the Commission and
widely applauded by the industry for their ability to manage change in the
NANP.


 





















 


I.1.1.4     Notification (TRD 7.4.1, 7.7.9, 7.9.1, 7.11, 7.18.3)


Reports and documents related to NANP resources
represent the key external view of NANPA activities.  Interested parties expect NANPA to identify
NANP changes as they occur.  Notification
functionality allows those interested parties to register interest in various
categories and/or localities and to receive a customized notification when an
NPA relief planning document changes or is published on the NANPA website.


 


The notification functionality that NeuStar will
provide in its NAS has evolved from the groundbreaking DDS that NeuStar
developed during its current term as NANPA. 
DDS represented an acknowledgement that the internet had assumed a
permanent place in NANPA operations and that fax-oriented document distribution
technology had reached its end-of-life.


 


NeuStar’s NAS will maintain the functionality that
makes DDS so popular and useful, including locality-based topic selection,
repository-linked notifications, platform-independent documents, and a document
repository.  These features are ideally
suited to the task of distributing NANPA information.  The locality-oriented topic selection allows
users to limit the scope of notifications. 
The repository-linked notifications prevent large documents from
clogging email systems and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents are a
platform-independent way of distributing immutable documents to an audience.


 


While DDS is an unqualified success, NeuStar’s NAS
will introduce significant and further improvements in the document
distribution area.  Foremost among these
is the integration of document distribution into the heart of the system,
providing the functionality under the unified NAS login.  Additionally, NeuStar will provide each
notification user with a personal page to manage current subscriptions.  NeuStar will also improve upon the current
DDS user interface, allowing the user to perform topic selection more quickly
and easily.  Finally, NeuStar will expand
the scope of the notification functionality to include other documents that are
within the purview of NANPA.  For
example, NAS will allow notifications to take place on documents related to CO
code administration.


 


I.1.1.5     Reporting (TRD 7.1.2, 7.9, 7.18)


The NAS solution will provide advanced reporting
capabilities that leverage NeuStar’s experience as the NANPA.  The reporting subsystem of NAS will encompass
three main areas: real-time reports, periodic reports, and ad hoc reports.  Each of these areas of reporting has its own


 





















 


nuances.  Each offers NeuStar an opportunity to
demonstrate the critical experience that uniquely qualifies it to assume the
responsibility of being the next term NANPA.


 


Reports will generally be distributed via the NANPA
website.  For each report, providing the
data is only part of the solution; the report must also present the data in a
logical, usable format.  Since each
report is unique and has a particular use, each report must have a carefully tailored
format and organization.  Consequently, a
cookie-cutter approach to reporting will short-change report users.  Only NeuStar has the experience required to
craft each report to fill its particular niche in the NANPA reporting framework.


 


Real-time reports provide an “at this instant” view of
NANPA resources and processes, providing great improvement over today’s
next-business-day turnaround.  This area
of reports can be subdivided into two main groups:  external and internal.  The general public (including the media) uses
external reports.  Internal reports are
targeted to the users of NAS, SPs, regulatory, and NANPA personnel.


 


Periodic reports provide summary views of data.  They cover specific periods of time (e.g.,
monthly, quarterly, annual) and are generally used by regulatory and NANPA
personnel.  They provide information
needed by these groups to understand the impact of previous assignment
decisions, assess the current state of the NANP, and plan for the future.


 


Ad hoc reports answer day-to-day operational questions
that arise during NANP administration. 
NANPA personnel use these reports to assist in making allocation
decisions and to respond to requests from regulatory personnel and the
industry.  Of the three groups of reports,
the ad hoc reports are the least
well known to those not involved in the day-to-day work of the NANPA.  For example, as the current NANPA, NeuStar
produces over two-dozen different internal ad hoc reports on a regular
basis.  These internal reports are the
backbone of successful NANP administration.


 


I.1.2        NAS
Architecture (TRD 7.1.3)


 


With its
NAS, NeuStar will provide the FCC with a system architecture that suits the
needs of the NANPA—both now and into the foreseeable future.


 


The proposed NAS architecture will be configured to
offer very high availability, [* * *].  Where any single component is unable to offer
the required availability, redundancy has been added, either locally or through
the use of the backup site, which guarantees the NAS exceeds the FCC’s


 





















 


requirements. The
proposed NAS architecture, built on highly scalable hardware platforms, is
easily and inexpensively scalable, capable of offering any amount of
incremental capacity.  In addition, NAS
will be capable of self-monitoring its performance and efficiency, in order to
enable the immediate identification of a need for additional resources.


 


To achieve the best solution for the NAS, NeuStar has
leveraged its past experience in developing web-based applications with online
transaction processing (OLTP) and distribution of information capabilities
(such as NeuStar’s PAS).  Taking the TRD
into consideration, NeuStar evaluated several options and has carefully
selected the most logical, cost-effective architecture design to amply meet the
FCC’s NANP Administration System Requirements, while offering maximum
flexibility and scalability for the future.

NeuStar’s NAS, [* * *], will provide secure
and reliable communications through open standards, and will support various
protocols, including SMTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS.


 


The NANPA will support the diverse set of
communications facilities shown in 

Exhibit I-5, including those facilities for supporting verbal and automated
requests from service providers and several methods for distribution of
information and reports, such as faxes (both Group 3 and Group 4), email, and
regular mail.  [* * *]

I.1.6        NAS
Operational Capabilities


This section will describe the specifics relating to
NeuStar’s proposed NAS [* * *], its associated help desk capability,
and the technical staff responsible for building the new NAS.


 


I.1.6.1     Facility
Locations (TRD 7.3, 7.8)


 


[* * *]


 


I.1.6.2     Help Desk (TRD 7.10)


NeuStar will offer a staffed help desk that will take
calls and monitor for fax, email, and web submissions of all customer
questions, troubles, and issues during NANPA’s regularly scheduled business
hours.  All issues/inquiries will be
resolved and/or responded to within one business day and, where appropriate,
will include a referral to a NANPA subject matter expert.  Contact information for the help desk will
continue to be posted on the website along with all other relevant contact
information.  In addition to staffing the
phones during regular business hours, NeuStar’s NANPA service will also be
available by alternative means (web, voicemail, email, and facsimile — both G.3
and G.4) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


 


As a supplement to the staffed help desk, the NAS will
also provide access to an automated help facility.  As a result of its positive results in its
use at the National Pooling Help Desk, NeuStar has selected Applied Innovation
Management’s “HelpDesk Expert for Customer Service” as the help desk and
knowledge-based software solution for the NAS. 
“HelpDesk Expert for Customer Service” is a web-based external help desk
system designed specifically for hardware and software product support.  Customers can use the system 24 hours a day
to get answers to frequently asked questions (which will be updated at least
once a month); search the knowledge base, application notes or support news;
submit a trouble ticket, or submit a service request.  They can also upload error messages or other
text to the support desk for faster problem resolution.  Features and benefits of HelpDesk Expert for Customer
Service include:


 


•                  Web-based—Works like any other web page.


 


•                  No learning curve—Anyone who can use a browser can easily
learn to use HelpDesk.


 


•                  Searchable database—Customers can find out if a problem has
been previously submitted by using HelpDesk Expert for Customer Service’s
search function. Specific fields or combination of fields can be searched.


 





















 


•                  Searchable knowledge database—Customers and NANPA personnel can use
free text queries to search the knowledgebase of support information.


 


•                  Uses relational databases (Oracle) to store all help desk
information.


 


With the use of the Oracle database, all information
submitted, whether directly by the customer, or by NANPA personnel, will be
replicated to the backup site as well as backed up to tape.  In addition, as with all data on NeuStar’s
NAS, the trouble tickets will be kept available online for not less than 2
years, and will also subsequently be archived for not less than 5 years.  Each trouble ticket will be time-stamped to
the minute at both time of opening and closing. 
The closing of a trouble ticket will also trigger a notification of the
disposition of the trouble ticket to its originator, either via email, fax or
call, depending on the contact information submitted by the originator.  Trouble ticket summary data will be included
in the NANPA annual report, including the quantity and type of trouble tickets
opened and closed over the course of the year.


 


I.1.6.3     Technical
Staff


NeuStar’s technical staff consists of highly
qualified, competent experts, intimately familiar with the platforms and
development tools being proposed. 
NeuStar’s key NAS development personnel also played key roles in the
development of PAS.  Just as NeuStar’s
existing NANPA personnel are the major factor in what will make the NANPA
service an on-going success, NeuStar’s development team is the major factor in
what will make NeuStar’s NANP Administration System a success for the FCC, the
telecommunications industry, and NeuStar.

I.2.1.1     Automated
NANP System Development and Implementation Phase


NeuStar’s software methodology allows it to
successfully deliver the new NAS six months
from award (TRD 7.7.1).  When
reviewing the requirements to develop NAS, NeuStar quickly determined that the
schedule is very aggressive, as the current NANPA systems do not meet RFP TRD
requirements.  However, because NeuStar
is leveraging the business rules, algorithms, and


 





















 


logic from the current
NANPA systems, combined with the application framework of its National PAS,
NeuStar’s development effort and schedule risk is significantly reduced.


 


Recognizing the aggressive schedule, NeuStar has
already commenced work (pre-award) on NAS functional requirements definition
and design.  Consequently, it is prepared
to deliver a Functional Requirements Specification (FRS) 10 business days after
contract award. This accelerated approach allows for increased development and
test time, which translates into a higher quality system and materially reduces
schedule risk. NeuStar employed this same approach in its development of the
National PA System. Table I-5 provides overview descriptions for the major
software development responsibilities/phases required to meet the Commission’s
objectives.

  System
  Functional

  Requirements

  Document

  	
   

  	
  During
  the Functional Requirements Document phase, NeuStar finalizes the
  specifications for a complete requirements document that identifies the
  features necessary for the NAS.  This
  provides a blueprint for the development team that will logically group
  functions within the system.  All
  requirements mentioned in the document are capable of being tested and
  traced.  Furthermore, each requirement clearly
  defines the business logic, and is detailed and defined in a set of system/segment
  design documents.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  System
  Design

  	
   

  	
  During
  the design stage, NeuStar’s experienced design team maximizes the utilization
  of existing application and database logic, components and architecture from
  CAS, NRUF, and the PAS to create the baseline for its Detailed Design
  Document.  During this phase, NeuStar
  also revises external design screens, reformat reports, and converts tasks
  NeuStar is currently performing to the new NAS process.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  System

  Development

  	
   

  	
  The
  software development strategy is to maximize the reuse of proven, successful,
  time-tested production systems.  The
  PAS architecture will form the foundation for the new NAS.  Much of the embedded business rule logic
  from CAS and NRUF is also reusable. 
  Using existing and proven software architectures, logic, and
  components greatly reduces the effort to develop the NAS.  The NAS application software is coded,
  debugged, documented, and tested (Unit Code test).  The NAS will be fully developed along with
  migration scripts for full integration between NeuStar’s current, functional
  CAS and NRUF applications and the new NAS.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  System/Integration

  Testing

  	
   

  	
  Once
  the NAS is fully developed, integration testing begins.  Test plans executed during this phase are
  derived from criteria found in the Functional Requirements
  documentation.  All required production
  scenarios are executed.  NeuStar tests
  against historical data provisioned by the current NANPA applications.  Integration testing is comprised of all
  files, databases, system software, and other required links.  NeuStar’s highly skilled quality assurance
  staff will conduct the following tests during this phase: regression;
  environment; data migration; load; and functional requirements.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  System

  Acceptance

  Testing

  	
   

  	
  This
  stage complies with the System Test Plan (CDRL).  Functional and performance testing with selected
  participants is completed and results from the testing forwarded to the
  Commission. Upon Commission approval, the NAS will be accepted and CLIN 0001
  will be satisfied.  System deployment
  commences.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  System
  Training

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  provides training to its employees to ensure their skills are current so they
  can continue to provide optimal customer service.  NeuStar considers an effective Training
  Plan an essential component of its implementation and staffing plans. NeuStar
  has devised an internal plan that incorporates four key training areas:
  neutrality, position-specific, help-desk/customer service, and NAS
  operations.  During this stage,
  NeuStar’s experienced NANPA team establishes training material requirements,
  develops necessary training manuals, and creates a schedule so NeuStar can
  train its personnel as they migrate to the new NAS and operations.

  Communications
  Plan

  	
   

  	
  The
  Communications Plan provides an overview of how the NANP Administration team
  will effectively communicate throughout the entire organization.  It identifies the key personnel who impact
  communications between the Commission and the industry, and outlines the
  process required to ensure timely and appropriate generation, collection,
  dissemination, storage, and ultimate disposition of project information to
  them.  It will be in compliance with
  the TRD.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Facility/Equipment

  Plan

  	
   

  	
  Every
  task required for providing necessary equipment and materials to effectively
  support the NAS and operations environment is included and outlined in this
  phase. NeuStar executes the tasks required for configuring the NANP
  Administration environments in Sterling, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina;
  and Concord, California.  Because NeuStar
  is currently the NANPA, most of these tasks are already completed.  Further, as the current NANPA, all
  NeuStar’s facilities are ready and available. 
  The activities associated with this phase are upgrading the facilities
  to support the new NAS and other new requirements.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Staffing
  Plan

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  is uniquely positioned to use its current experienced NANPA staff to continue
  to provide excellent service and support, to reduce the risks associated with
  such a major deployment, and to ensure a seamless transition.  NeuStar’s Staffing Implementation Plan
  calls for a phased transition of its existing experienced staff from the
  current NANPA operations to the new NANPA operations.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Performance
  Metrics

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar’s
  final performance metrics, which are based on current performance metrics
  used by NeuStar as the NANPA, serves as a monitoring tool to determine how
  effectively NeuStar’s NANPA team performs. 
  These metrics, which involve collecting and disseminating performance
  data so stakeholders know how resources are being used to achieve project
  objectives, will be provided to the Commission as required.  This process includes: status reporting –
  describing where the project stands; and progress reporting – describing what
  the project team has accomplished.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Quality
  Assurance

  Plan

  	
   

  	
  A
  quality assurance plan specific to NANPA is developed consistent with
  NeuStar’s quality program.  The plan
  describes quality assurance activities that will be performed throughout the
  software development life cycle for the NAS. 
  In addition, the plan will include performance monitoring activities
  required in TRD Section 9.

  



 


I.2.1.3     Transition
to NANP Administration Phase


As if the aggressive 6-month timeframe was not enough
of a challenge, the new NANPA must flawlessly convert a tremendous amount of
data (historical and current) from the current NANPA Systems (CAS, NRUF, and
DDS) to the new NAS.  [* * *]


 


If there is just a one (1) percent error in the
conversion, the disposition of 1,200 CO codes will be incorrect; creating 1,200
opportunities for CO code conflicts, which, in turn, can cause service outages
for consumer businesses and government users. These 120,000 CO codes and other
resource information comprise millions of data items in the current NANPA
systems. Even a 99.9%


 





















 


successful data migration
could lead to thousands of data field errors, and, if the vendor doesn’t
recognize this until days or months after operations has been transitioned to
the new NAS, it could take months to discover and correct the data; some data
may never be corrected.


 


NeuStar is able to deploy the system consistent with
the March 28, 2003 Transition Plan document which outlines a very reasonable
transition strategy for most other vendors. 
However, NeuStar is in a unique position as the incumbent NANP
Administrator to offer the FCC an alternative streamlined approach.  The new strategy is a seamless, risk-free
transition that will free up the FCC from all of the kick-off and transition
related activities.  NeuStar will replace
the multiple, complex steps that would be required for other vendors with a one
step transition to the new system.  This
transition will be completed by the end of the seventh month from date of contract
award.


 


Per FCC requirements, NAS development and testing will
be completed by the end of the sixth month of the transition plan.  NeuStar will then use the next thirty days to
ensure the effective, flawless migration of data from the existing system to
the NAS.  Appropriate quality checks of
system capabilities will be conducted as the NAS is prepared for
operation.  NeuStar fully appreciates the
complexities associated with such a large system migration and therefore plans
appropriately to ensure a smooth transition. 
During this timeframe, NeuStar will initiate the migration to the new
system, to include notification to the industry on its availability, while
maintaining current NANPA systems as backup until cutover, scheduled for the
end of the seventh month.


 


The reduction in phases benefits the FCC and industry
by simplifying their interaction with the NANPA and reducing the overall
transition time frame.  A prolonged,
multiple-phased approach will add risk, errors, and overall confusion regarding
NANPA interactions.  NeuStar’s approach
applies a focused, dedicated effort by experienced staff to ensure a smooth
transition of systems and operations with significant benefits to the
Commission.


 


•                  Eliminates the need for a “Kick-off Meeting”
facilitated by the FCC in order to coordinate transition activities, freeing the
FCC to focus on their important policy-making responsibilities.


 


•                  Required “training” as described in the Transition
Plan is no longer necessary since NeuStar is intimately familiar with all NANPA
systems and processes.


 





















 


•                  Eliminates the potential for proposed last minute
changes in transition activities or the unforeseen issues that typically
surface in a complex transition of systems and services between two separate
organizations.


 


I.2.1.4     Reporting
Phase


This phase consists of all activities associated with
the delivery of monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports.  These reports include status reporting during
the development phase and all NANPA reports required beyond deployment of the
system.  These reports are described in
detail in Proposal Section I.2.7.


 


I.2.1.5     Industry
Meetings (Travel Phase)


This task details functions associated with
maintaining active participation in all industry meetings affecting NANPA.
NeuStar’s NANPA team will prepare for and regularly attend industry for a such
as INC, NANC, NPA relief planning meetings, etc., and continue to provide
strong support to the industry as required by the RFP.


 


I.2.1.6     Data
Requirements-CDRLs Phase


NeuStar’s NANPA team will develop and submit all CDRLs
required during this phase.  NeuStar will
define the scope, perform research analysis, and compile and write or update
the systems and operations elements for all data requirements identified in TRD
Section 10.  The CDRLS are addressed in
Proposal Section I.2.6.


 


I.2.1.7     Ongoing Operations
Phase


The remainder of the project plan focuses on the
activities associated with the ongoing operations of the NANPA.  These include automated system support
(operation and maintenance), NANP administration management, reporting,
regulatory and industry support, and data requirements.


 


I.2.2        Staff
Management Approach (RFP L.5, M.2.A.3, TRD 2.5)


 


NeuStar
is uniquely positioned to ensure that an experienced, motivated, and
knowledgeable staff is available for successful transition and implementation.


 


NeuStar will use its experience as the current NANPA
and its extensive experience in number administration to accurately identify
staffing levels and categories necessary to effectively


 





















 


manage and support the
varied NANPA services. The NANPA management team utilizes work breakdown
structures, historical information, and an in-depth, unmatched understanding of
scope and resource descriptions in determining resource needs. Appropriate
staffing for implementation will ensure that personnel are used effectively and
efficiently. As required, NeuStar has provided the staff/labor categories and
hours per task (shown in Exhibit I-7) to develop, implement, and transition to
the new NAS as well as perform NANPA operations in the base (First) year.  Further, NeuStar will comply with the
requirements set forth in TRD Section 2.5, Staffing.


 





















 


[* * *]


 


I.2.3        Risk
Management Approach (RFP L.5, M.2.A.3,
entire TRD)


 


NeuStar
offers the lowest risk approach to ensure a seamless transition and the
continued effective administration of the NANP.


 


Risk management is the act of being proactive to
ensure project success, rather than being reactive to solve problems after they
have arisen.  Risk management generally
seeks to identify and manage the ‘known risks’ (managed via contingency
planning and reserve), while the ‘unknown risks’ are managed/addressed via
management reserve.


 


NeuStar is the lowest risk choice for NANPA not only
due to its extensive experience as the current NANPA but also due to its
culture of rigorous implementation of quality and risk management processes.
These processes have consistently demonstrated that NeuStar delivers
high-quality solutions and services on schedule and within budget—evidenced by
the recent, successful development and deployment of the National Pooling
Administration System.


 


NeuStar’s approach to risk management is disciplined,
consistent, and iterative.  NeuStar
anticipates and identifies risks and takes mitigating action to ensure no
discernible project impact will result from the risk.  The elements of NeuStar’s risk management
process include risk identification, risk quantification, and risk mitigation.


 


Risk
Identification—In
preparation, NeuStar has identified potential system risks (provided in Table
I-7).  Throughout the contract lifecycle,
including the development, implementation, and transition to the new NAS,
NeuStar will continue to evaluate the project dependencies and issues to
identify risks.  As risks are identified,
NeuStar quantifies them to develop a comprehensive risk elimination or mitigation
strategy.


 


Risk
Quantification—Once
NeuStar has identified a risk, it will evaluate the risk and possible risk
interactions to assess the range of possible outcomes.  As part of the risk management process,
NeuStar will quickly quantify the risk to determine its severity and evaluate
its potential impact on the project.  As
soon as the potential risk is quantified, a risk avoidance or mitigation
strategy will be developed and put in place.


 


Risk
Mitigation—Over
the life of the contract, NeuStar will develop and document contingency plans
and alternative strategies to address risks as they arise.  NeuStar will track all risk management
activities using a risk management report. 
This report will list each risk and contain a


 





















 


mitigation plan along
with NeuStar personnel assigned to take actions, as needed, to carry out the
mitigation plan.  The report will be
issued regularly reflecting the status of all identified risks.  Table I-7 summarizes the results of NeuStar’s
initial assessment of NAS implementation risks and mitigations.

  NeuStar’s Mitigation Approach

  
	
  1.

  	
   

  	
  Incorrectly
  estimating technical requirements in designing the NAS resulting in an
  under-designed/under-sized system

  	
   

  	
  An
  under-designed system might appear to save money (e.g., a lower evaluated
  price in the proposal), but in fact, could have a negative impact on the
  service providers, for instance resulting in less efficient use of service
  provider staff time.  Alternatively, service
  providers might individually invest in automated support capabilities to help
  compensate for NAS deficiencies.

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  has chosen a minimum-risk approach to system implementation.  Its experienced NAS operations and
  technical personnel have carefully analyze each TRD requirement in comparison
  to the current NANP system’s capabilities to design and implement the new
  solution, ensuring the NAS is properly sized.

  Conversion
  to the new NAS without full understanding of (1) current system and data, (2)
  TRD requirements, and (3) what it takes to implement an effective conversion.

  	
   

  	
  Danger
  of a late delivery – extending beyond the specified transition period,
  possibly by several months.  

   

  Complete project
  failure – data conversion and migration actually fails, but the vendor does
  not recognize it until months after migration, having to spend months to
  correct the data and possibly never getting it right.

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  has used current NANP Administration experts knowledgeable about the current
  applications throughout the planning and implementation process.  

   

  NeuStar has a rigorous
  process of comparing every TRD requirement with every system capability and
  then mapping the difference into its newly designed system.  Technical experts who developed the National
  Pooling Administration System – very similar to the new NAS – are being used
  to eliminate or minimize risks.

  Inability
  to hire and retain knowledgeable systems personnel who understand the number
  administration environment.

  	
   

  	
  Potential
  significant system implementation schedule slippage.

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  is fully staffed with knowledgeable technical personnel, who have extensive
  telecommunication industry backgrounds and more importantly, experience on
  all facets of NPA Relief Planning, CO Code Administration and NRUF reporting.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  4.

  	
   

  	
  Schedule
  development not based on a rigorous process involving analysis of TRD
  requirements, competent system design reflecting those requirements, and use
  of a well-thought-out work breakdown structure as a precursor to schedule
  development

  	
   

  	
  High
  probability of significant system implementation schedule slippage, and
  resulting delay in providing NANPA services.

  	
   

  	
  NeuStar
  has followed a rigorous process in developing its implementation
  schedule:  breaking the implementation
  work components down into sufficient detail to develop fully understood
  implementation staffing requirements and a very-low-risk implementation
  schedule.  

   

  As
  a sanity check, NeuStar has conducted a detailed comparison of NANPA
  implementation schedule with its recent on-time PAS implementation schedule.

  



 


Although NeuStar’s current analysis reveals no
significant risks associated with operating and maintaining the NAS, NeuStar
will be constantly vigilant throughout the life of the contract and will manage
identified risks as described earlier in this section.


 





















 


I.2.4        Change
Control Approach (RFP L.5,
M.2.A.3, TRD 2, 4, 7,10)


 


NeuStar’s
change management processes ensure only authorized changes are implemented to
systems, guidelines, or procedures.


 


NeuStar recognizes that business conditions,
regulatory directives, and any number of other decisions/drivers will initiate
a need for change during the lifecycle of the NANPA project. To ensure that
NANPA processes and systems remain understood and controlled at all times while
still permitting change-related decisions to be made, NeuStar’s change control
process allows for orderly changes to the scope of its operations and
systems.  The change control processes
for software and industry guidelines are described below.


 


I.2.4.1     Software
Change Control Approach (RFP L.5, M.2.A.3,
TRD 7)


NeuStar’s control processes allow for changes to be
requested, approved (or rejected), and executed when approved. NeuStar will
follow the change control process whenever a change is requested that could
affect the functionality of the NANPA, as defined in the TRD.  NeuStar’s standard change control process
follows logical steps in submitting, analyzing, approving, and implementing
requested changes. All change requests will be documented and logged into a
tracking system. Appropriate parties will be notified of the impact analysis
and of NeuStar’s recommended action. This process is currently in place at
NeuStar and is used to administer change control in a variety of systems,
including PAS and NPAC.  NeuStar’s change
control process, illustrated in Exhibit I-8 will apply throughout the NANP
Administration contract lifecycle—for implementation, operation, and maintenance.


 


I.2.4.2     Guidelines
and Directives Change Control (RFP L.5, M.2.A.3,
TRD 2.10, 4.1, 7, 10.6, 10.7)


Over the years, the FCC, the telecommunications
industry, and the NANPA have faced many challenges, which resulted in extensive
change in the NANPA processes and applications. 
For example, the FCC’s NRO Orders introduced dramatic changes to NANPA’s
processes.  As a result, NeuStar worked
closely with the FCC and industry to efficiently and effectively implement
those changes in the NANPA applications and processes.  NeuStar’s change management process is
described in detail in Exhibit I-9.


 





















 


[***]


 


NeuStar will document the NAS change control process
described in Proposal Section I.2.4.1 as part of a NeuStar Master NANPA Change
Management Plan.  The plan will also include
(as attachments) the  [CO Code] Change Management
Plan required by TRD
Sections 4.1 and 10.6 and the Contract Change Management Plan required by TRD
Sections 2.10 and 10.7.  The Master
Change Management Plan will help ensure consistency and coherence in managing
all changes affecting NANPA performance.


 


[Exhibit I-9: Graphic Design]


 


I.2.5        Quality
Assurance Approach (RFP L.5, M.2.A.3, TRD 7, 9)


 


NeuStar
will ensure the highest levels of quality—from NANP Administration System design,
development, and deployment, to NANP Administration.


 


NeuStar understands that when the FCC selects a
vendor, it must not only consider the overall cost and ability to deliver a
system, but also the overall quality of its products and services.  A state-of-the-art system that functions
flawlessly but lacks a quality service component is useless and will not meet
the expectations of its clients.  NeuStar
recognizes that quality requires an ongoing and evolving process that embodies
a commitment to continuous improvement by meeting the dynamic demands of
customers and the ever-changing technology base.  The quality performance measurement system
attributes managed by NeuStar’s staff include: reliability, interoperability,
availability, responsiveness, effective communication, accuracy, security, and
one of NeuStar’s strongest value-added trademarks, neutrality.


 


[* * *]


 


I.2.5.1     Software
Quality Assurance (L.5, TRD 7,
M.2.A.3)


NeuStar’s quality system applies many of the concepts
and standards of IEEE, the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project
Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), and the tenets of the Software
Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM).  NeuStar is currently implementing many of the
ISO 9000 certification requirements as part of our comprehensive quality
management program, including a commitment to documented process control.  NeuStar’s standard quality control approach,
as shown in Exhibit I-10, is applied


 





















 


throughout the software
development lifecycle and was applied successfully to the National Pooling
Administration System.


 


In addition, NeuStar will use various software tools
to support the quality assurance process for NAS. Some of these tools include
CVS, which is used to store all source code and documentation for configuration
management and TestDirector, which is used to store and run test cases and
track defects.


 


 


[* * *]


 





















 


I.2.5.2     Audits and
Performance Monitoring (RFP M.2.A.3, TRD 9)


NeuStar’s quality assurance practices are not limited
to the development of software.  They are
applied throughout NANPA operations, which has resulted in a history of
consistently high quality, accurate processing results and excellent customer

Further, NeuStar’s management embraces the importance
of delivering high quality services and is committed to setting performance
objectives, as well as monitoring and measuring its performance against those
objectives.  NeuStar has developed a
comprehensive internal Quality Management Plan for NANPA that includes 33 performance
objectives and related metrics.  This
plan encompasses customer requirements and key service performance indicator
metrics based on those requirements and associated industry guidelines.  See Table I-8 for a listing of the
performance metrics in our quality management plan.  The consistent application of this plan and
the associated metrics, as well as frequent quality performance surveys, are
important tools to not only measure and report on performance, but to also
enable the early detection and correction of adverse trends.

NeuStar goes above and beyond guidelines and customer
expectations in monitoring its performance in the administration of the NANP,
always looking for ways to improve operations. 
By going this “extra mile”, NeuStar earned a “More than Met” overall
performance rating in both its 2001 and 2002 NANPA annual evaluation conducted
by the NANC.  In addition, as required,
NeuStar, as the current NANPA, reports monthly to the NANC on all of its
performance metrics and will, based upon future feedback from the NANC, revise
existing and/or create new measurements in response to an ever-changing
telecommunications environment.  The
following sections address the requirements in TRD sections 9.1 through 9.5.


 


Audit by
FCC—NeuStar will
comply with all TRD 9.1 requirements. 
NeuStar’s facilities have ample space and supplies for Commission
auditors.  In the event an audit shows
the need for corrective action, NeuStar will fully comply with TRD 9.1.4
requirements and schedule.


 


Monitoring—NeuStar actively supports—and will
continue to participate in—annual customer surveys and operational reviews
covering all required topics, and will continue to develop, with the NANC, an
annual Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). 
Previously, NeuStar assisted the NANC in the distribution of the 2001
and 2002 NANPA annual survey that significantly improved the overall response
rate.  Furthermore, NeuStar continually
reports to the NANC on its progress addressing the items identified in the PIP
to ensure all performance issues are appropriately addressed and resolved.


 


Performance
monitoring—NeuStar currently has in place an internal quality management plan as
shown in Exhibit I-11. Performance and quality monitoring requirements are
shown on the left side of the exhibit and conform to TRD sections 9.2 -
9.5.  NeuStar’s Quality Management Plan
(1) analyzes performance reports and identifies corrective actions, (2) calls
for additional training, as appropriate, (3) develops items for the annual PIP,
and (4) demonstrates that guidelines and TRD requirements are being fully
met.  The NANPA performance metrics that
NeuStar has developed, shown previously, relate to the industry guidelines and
requirements.


 


NRUF-related
measurements—NeuStar
will participate fully in NRUF-related reviews according to TRD 9.4, most of
which are currently being measured and tracked by NeuStar today.  From December 2001 to December 2002, NeuStar
processed 11,000 NRUF submissions, all of which were processed within 10
business days.  In this case, the
10-business day performance measurement did not come from industry guidelines,
but rather was initiated by NeuStar.


 


[Exhibit I-11: Graphic Design]


 





















 


Self-assessment
and reporting—NeuStar
will provide a self-assessment Quality Management Plan similar to the one in
place today, and will deliver reports to the NANC on the required
schedule.  NeuStar has consistently
delivered superior customer satisfaction—achieving an overall performance
rating of 4.84 out of 5.00 during 2002. 
To identify instances of user dissatisfaction, NeuStar will continue to
offer a formal NANPA complaint process on the NANPA website, a process
initiated by NeuStar.  Upon receipt,
NeuStar investigates each complaint (averaging fewer than 10 per year),
provides bi-weekly status reports to the NANC, and after conclusion, prepares a
written resolution statement including any necessary corrective action.  NeuStar takes the few complaints it receives
each year very seriously, and all past complaints have been expeditiously
resolved.


 


















 


I.2.6
Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) (RFP M.2.A.3, TRD 10)


 


NeuStar’s high quality, comprehensive, well-conceived,
value-based plans, which benefit from its previous work on similar projects,
focus on the Commission and industry needs and views.


 


Highlighted
in Table I-9, the plans NeuStar will deliver under the contract are characterized
by the following:


 


•                  Plan content and format will apply NeuStar’s current NANPA experience
and knowledge in preparing similar plans, to include: the Performance Improvement
Plan (TRD 9.2.3 and 10.11) in a format proven to facilitate NANC’s review
process, and a Transition Plan (TRD 2.15.4 and 10.12) that reflects NeuStar’s
knowledge of specific items the FCC expects in a transition plan.


 


•                  NeuStar’s plans will reflect its proven, minimum-risk processes—System
Test Plan (TRD 7.12 and 10.5) and Change Management Plan (TRD 4.1 and 10.6),
which have the added benefit of having received prior FCC acceptance under the
National PA contract.


 


•                  NeuStar will follow a standard internal plan development process
designed to ensure quality products in support of successful on-time contract
activities.

I.2.7
Reporting (RFP M.2.A.3, TRD 7, 8)


 


NeuStar has designed and will continue to publish and enhance
NANPA reports that not only assist in managing numbering resources, but also
assist the regulatory authorities and industry personnel in performing their
related missions.


 


NeuStar
fully appreciates the need to provide timely and accurate reports on NANP numbering
resources to the Commission, state regulatory authorities, the NANC, and the
industry.  As the NANPA, NeuStar has
endeavored to fulfill the needs of regulatory authorities and the industry for
information and reports to properly manage the NANP.  [* * *]


 


In
fact, NeuStar proactively identified the need to provide the information
contained in these reports, provided timely and continuous updates, identified
any developing trends, and took appropriate action in a timely manner.  [* * *]  Table I-10 summarizes the required reports,
and identifies those reports already provided by NeuStar.  TRD Section 8.9 catalogues the technical


 





















 


report requirements from TRD Table 8-1. 
NeuStar will comply with all of the requirements in TRD Section 8.9
as well as the performance reports required in TRD Section 8.10.

Note 1: Resource status reports
are required monthly if the resource is near exhaust and “being watched.” The
list of resources “being watched” has not yet been identified. Upon contract
award, NANPA will meet with the COTR or his/her representative to determine the
content of the list.


 


Note 2: NANPA does central
office code administration and relief planning only in the US and its
territories. Some reports require information known only by the administrators
serving other NANP countries. To comply with the non-US portion of the requirement,
NeuStar, as NANPA, will request the relevant data from those administrators
along with their permission to include it in the report.


 





















 


I.3                                  NANPA Administrative Functions (RFP L5, M.2.A.2, TRD 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8)


 


As the current steward of the numbering resources, NeuStar
possesses the requisite neutrality, knowledge, and intimate familiarity with
regulatory directives and industry guidelines, processes and procedures, and
nuances to ensure the effective and efficient performance of all NANPA administrative
functions into the next term.


 


[* * *]  For the next 4 plus years, the value of the
NANPA will be measured on the basis of the services it provides.  In order to be the NANPA for the next term,
the chosen vendor must, among other things:


 


•                  Possess the institutional memory of
number administration—there are several numbering precedents that are not written down in the
guidelines (e.g., the practice of making “temporary assignments” in cases of
advertising misprints); only NeuStar has the
institutional memory to be the NANPA;


 


•                  Possess unassailable neutrality—otherwise, understandable human errors
can be called into question and misinterpreted as “possible” neutrality
violations, which can waste significant FCC resources to research; NeuStar has a comprehensive company-wide neutrality
compliance program whereby it has passed all 11 neutrality audits;


 


•                  Demonstrate the ability to handle
significant changes in NANP resource application volumes—otherwise, service will suffer and
carriers will be slow to receive numbering resources; NeuStar has demonstrated that it can “staff-up” to
handle levels 200% over expected volumes; and


 


•                  Demonstrate the ability to quickly
react and adapt to changes in FCC regulations—otherwise, FCC directives will not be enforced or FCC
objectives will not be realized in a timely fashion; NeuStar has demonstrated its ability to rapidly adapt to new FCC rules and
orders; for example, it completely revamped CO code administration
and reclamation procedures and implemented a new complex NRUF system in two
short months.


 


The
detail provided in the remainder of this section serves to demonstrate
NeuStar’s expertise in the most important aspects of the NANPA function—service
to all stakeholders—and ensure confidence by the FCC and the industry that NeuStar
is the vendor of choice to effectively and efficiently perform the NANP
administrative functions on an impartial and neutral basis.


 





















 


Further, this detail seeks to demonstrate our intimate knowledge and
thorough understanding of the rules and procedures in FCC Reports and
Orders governing the NANPA activities, the nuances associated with these orders
and the various constituents, and the requisite processes associated not only
with code administration (I.3.1), relief planning (I.3.2), and NRUF (1.3.3),
but for the administration of other resources (I.3.4) as well.  If selected to continue serving the FCC and
the industry as the NANPA, NeuStar will comply with all requirements set forth
in the Technical Requirements Document, including its attachments.


 


I.3.1
Central Office Code Administration (RFP L.5, M.1.A.2, TRD 4,)


 


NeuStar has done an excellent job of administering CO codes even as the
demand for these resources rose to unprecedented levels and FCC’s numbering
resource optimization strategies were being implemented during the same
timeframe.


 


NeuStar
is intimately familiar with all regulatory directives and industry guidelines
and was able to adapt quickly to respond to fundamental changes in the
telecommunications environment. 
[* * *]


 


NeuStar
has an enormous reservoir of experience in administering CO codes on the basis
of all applicable FCC directives and industry guidelines and has unmatched
expertise in performing these functions in a timely, neutral, and professional
manner. NeuStar personnel continuously keep themselves abreast of new federal
and/or state requirements and changes to industry guidelines and modify its CO
code administration methods and procedures (M&Ps) to reflect latest
directives. [* * *]


 


I.3.1.1              Client Services (RFP L.5, M.1.A.2, TRD 4.2.1)


 


The administrators will continue to make informed, efficient
decisions that assist regulatory authorities to meet their numbering resource
optimization goals.


 


NeuStar
has a large “client” base insofar as the administration of the NANP is
concerned. As such, NeuStar will provide
information on CO code administration processes, guidelines, procedures,
interfaces, and services to all of its clients including, but not limited to,
the FCC, state regulatory commissions, the NANC, industry, and the general
public.  NeuStar will continue to provide,
on the NANPA website, all pertinent and current information regarding CO code
administration to ensure that users are aware of and have easy access to the information
they need to effectively and efficiently do their job. The website design will
be improved for greater ease of use


 





















 


but will continue to include information such as reclamation and
jeopardy procedures, current industry guidelines, code assignment reports, job
aids, tutorials, help desk and contact information, and summaries of the FCC
and State orders that specify parameters for code assignments.


 


NeuStar will provide assistance to all clients who use
numbering resources and suggest alternatives, when possible, that may assist
clients with numbering resource optimization and utilization issues.  In practice, the assistance required is most often a
detailed explanation of the conditions that must be met to obtain numbering
resources, as specified in the NRO orders, or an explanation of the
alternatives available to an applicant that does not meet those
conditions.  [* * *]


 


NeuStar will maintain working knowledge of applicable state
regulations and local dialing plans.  Knowledge of
the local environment, including regulations, can be gained only through time
and experience—in fact, in combination with their previous experience, NeuStar’s
NANPA personnel have become scholars of NANP administrative regulations,
guidelines, local information, and processes and procedures. NeuStar’s CO code
administrators maintain state binders containing all of the state and
area-specific orders and procedures. 
[* * *] It is also standard practice for code administrators
to participate in relief planning meetings, during which a wealth of local
information is presented and discussed. 
Finally, code administrators have access to information on 7-digit cross
NPA boundary dialing arrangements.  This
information has been collected to ensure that the administrators assign central
office codes that do not cause routing or dialing conflicts.


 


NeuStar will continue to assist code applicants with
understanding and completing all forms and appendices associated with industry
guidelines.  Meeting this requirement is essential to
successfully serving as the NANPA, particularly given the current
telecommunications environment where more and more service providers are
requiring their employees to do more with less, and where many of the
applicants are new to code administration and numbering management. For some
code applicants, CO code administration is a small part of a long day and they
need to be able to submit forms easily and correctly—the first time. NeuStar
understands this, and has, through its tenure as the NANPA, responded to over
80,000 calls with very high customer satisfaction ratings.  In addition to personalized customer service,
applicants can also find assistance in the central office code section of
the NANPA website, which contains helpful information, including a multi-part
job aid, an explanation of the documentation required to demonstrate facilities
readiness, and a primer on the effects of the FCC’s NRO orders.  The introduction of NeuStar’s current Code
Administration System (CAS), which allows applicants to fill out templates on
line and submit requests, has made


 





















 


the process much simpler and more efficient.  Previously, applications had to be submitted
by fax or mail.  CAS helps the applicant
avoid errors.  For example, many of the
fields in CAS are drop-down menus that guide the applicant in making the
correct choices.  These helpful features
will be carried over into the new NANP administration system.


 


NeuStar will educate its clients.  NeuStar recognizes that training its clients will
result in more efficient and effective processing of CO code requests as well
as satisfied clients.  Each requirement
described above addresses one or more aspects of client education that NeuStar
provides.  Key to the success in
educating clients is the quality of the one-on-one interactions they have with
the administrators, and NeuStar has taken steps to increase and maintain the
expertise of its administrators.  Each
administrator has completed the Achieving
Extraordinary Customer Relations seminar, taught by Achieve
Global.  This seminar reinforces the
importance of high quality customer service and follow-through procedures.  In addition, the seminar explains how to
chart customer needs, wants, and expectations and how to meet those needs.  NeuStar also provides technical training for
the administrators.  Each month,
administrators are required to attend an interactive training session on a
technical topic related to numbering.


 


NeuStar will notify its clients and interested parties when
guidelines or applicable directives have changed.  As required, NeuStar will provide electronic
notification of such changes within five business days of change
identification.  In fact, a special
electronic distribution list (“code-admin”) has been established and used for
distributing notices and information of interest to code applicants.  Currently, the list has 220 subscribers, and
CO code applicants will be automatically added to the list if they provide an
email address.  The code-admin capability
will be merged into the new NAS.  More
detail on the management of changes associated with code administration
procedures can be found in Proposal Section I.2.4.2.  As required, a transition period will precede
the introduction of the change.  The
length of the transition period will be commensurate with the scope of the
change, but may be bounded by regulatory directives.


 


NeuStar will respond to client inquiries regarding available
and assigned central office codes. 
Up to the
minute information on assigned and available codes will be available on the
NANPA website.  NeuStar’s administrators
will answer questions about the availability of specific codes or will direct
clients to the website if they wish to research or browse among the assigned
and unassigned code lists.


 





















 


I.3.1.2 CO Code Processing (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 4.2.2)


 


NeuStar will leverage its experience derived from processing
more than 150,000 applications—99.3% within the required 10 working days—to
ensure that CO code processing is timely, accurate, and compliant with all
applicable regulatory directives and industry guidelines.


 


This section serves
to demonstrate NeuStar’s understanding and abilities to process code
applications efficiently and effectively by focusing on some of the
lesser-known but critical aspects of the application process that a successful
NANPA must be familiar with, along with steps that NeuStar has taken to improve
the process during its first tenure as NANPA. 
If selected to continue serving as the NANPA, NeuStar will continue to
ensure that all requirements set forth in TRD Section 4.2.2, as well as
all applicable federal and state directives, are stringently adhered to.


 


NeuStar
processes central office code applications according to documented methods and
procedures (M&Ps).  These M&Ps
must recognize and be consistent with 1) federal directives such as the FCC’s
NRO orders, 2) supplementary state directives, the scope of which may vary
depending on how much authority has been delegated to the state by the FCC, and
3) the industry consensus assignment guidelines.  The NANPA must have the experience to combine
these fundamental drivers with efficient business practices to create detailed
procedures to support daily code administration activities.  The procedures must be scrupulously neutral,
fair, and even-handed, and they must conform totally to the letter and intent
of regulatory directives.  This is
precisely how NeuStar has operated during the past five years and is committed
to continuing to do so during the next five.


 


Exhibit I-12
describes the code assignment process, focusing on the application review,
evaluation, and determination if an assignment should be made.  The circled numbers in the exhibit correlate
with the text, which is indicated by a shaded number.   [Exhibit I-12: Graphic Design]


 


The
first step taken by the code administrator is to review the entire application
for completeness, scanning the submitted material for errors, inconsistencies,
or omissions 1.  This includes ensuring
that all required fields have been populated and that all required
documentation is attached; e.g., for initial code requests, evidence of
certification to operate in the specified rate center.  Table I-11 summarizes the required information
for various types of applications.


 


It is
NeuStar’s intention, consistent with the requirements, to assist those who
submit applications in good faith to get the numbering resources they need as
quickly as possible.  To that


 





















 


end, NeuStar has defined and posted on the website specific conditions
under which it will suspend rather than deny applications containing errors or
omissions.  When an application is suspended,
the applicant has two days to work with the administrator to correct the
problems.  If the applicant cannot be
reached, or the problems cannot be fixed within the two-day window, the application
is denied.


 


It is
critical to maintaining an unassailable position of neutrality that conditions
for suspension be well defined and applied uniformly so as to preclude the
possibility of giving special treatment to any specific applicant or group of
applicants.  By defining and publishing
these conditions in advance, NeuStar has provided the industry with an
opportunity to ensure that these conditions are non-discriminatory.  No company has questioned the
non-discriminatory nature of NeuStar’s posted conditions.

[* * *]


 


In
2002, for example, 321 out of 3,433 central office codes submitted for return
were found to contain a total of 105,010 ported telephone numbers.  Using the new procedures to process these 321
disconnects, NANPA approached 247 service providers and successfully found new
LERG assignees for 305 of the returned codes—a 95% success rate.


 


Some
carriers have deactivated their networks without returning their assigned
codes.  When it is obvious that codes have
been abandoned, NeuStar contacts the affected state commissions for
direction.  In this capacity, in 2002,
NeuStar distributed 27 notices to states concerning 53 codes that had a total
of 37,035 ported telephone numbers.  As a
result of NeuStar’s efforts, only 16 codes, with a total of only 239 telephone
numbers, were disconnected.  The remaining
codes were successfully assigned to other carriers, preserving telephone
service for thousands of customers.


 


If an
NPA is in jeopardy, that is, the supply of existing resources may exhaust
before relief can be implemented, state-specific procedures limit the number of
codes that can be assigned each month and a lottery is used to determine which
qualified applicants will get assignments 3.  Lotteries are discussed in greater detail in
Proposal Section I.3.1.6.


 


If the
administrator approves the application, and the applicant is successful in the
lottery (if applicable), the administrator chooses a code to assign 4. 
This task appears to be no more


 





















 


complicated than choosing a code from the available list, but in reality
choosing a code that will work is arguably the most difficult part of the
assignment function.  The reason for this
is the existence of special cross-NPA boundary dialing arrangements ordered by state
commissions or voluntarily instituted by service providers.  These arrangements may limit where specific
codes can be assigned.  The administrator
must ensure that any code chosen is not already assigned, not only in the home
area code, but also in the area within the foreign area code to which
seven-digit dialing is permitted, and in the local calling area for any of the
codes within the restricted area of the foreign area code.  If an incorrect code is assigned, the service
provider will be unable to implement translations in its switches, making it
impossible to reach numbers within the assigned code from some areas.  Often this is not discovered until specific
numbers have already been promised to customers, with the consequent potential
for financial damages.  Given the gravity
of this issue, avoiding code rejects is and will remain one of NeuStar’s key
objectives as the NANPA.


 


To
avoid this problem, NeuStar has taken several steps.  First, since the complexity of the problem
makes it impossible for the administrator to manage, checking for code
conflicts has been built into CAS and will be included in the new NAS.  Next, data on existing non-standard dialing
arrangements is needed.  NeuStar has been
studiously collecting data on these dialing arrangements over the last five
years.  [* * *]


 


Once
an assignment is made, NeuStar must follow up to ensure that the code has been
implemented, and initiate reclamation if it has not 5.  This includes a
reminder to the code applicant of the need to submit a Part 4, indicating
the code has been placed into service. 
NeuStar also agrees to augment current procedures to produce a “Part 5”
form confirming receipt of a Part 4 form as required.  Further discussion of follow-up and reclamation
is provided in Proposal Section I.3.1.8.


 


I.3.1.3 Communication and
Notification Functions (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2,
TRD 4.2.3)


 


NeuStar will leverage established and effective
communications skills, tools, and interfaces to ensure NANPA communications and
notifications are clear, accurate, appropriate, and timely.


 


An
essential requirement that all successful NANPA administrators (whether Code or
NPA Relief Planning) must meet is effectively communicating with
clients—providing concise, clear, topical information in a timely and neutral
manner. During its tenure as the NANPA, NeuStar has established relationships
and methods and procedures to ensure that these communication and notification
requirements are met. Our experienced administrators employ customer service
and


 





















 


listening skills to issue clear and concise notifications, accommodate
differences, and resolve conflicts.  The
following discussion addresses how NeuStar will meet the requirements set forth
in TRD Section 4.2.3.  Additional
detail regarding program level communications is provided in Proposal Section II.4,
Communications Approach.


 


Surpassing
the requirement for daily updates, NeuStar will provide real time updates on
the central office codes (NXXs) assigned and available in each NPA.  Regulatory and industry personnel will access
the up-to-the-minute information on the status of all CO codes.


 


NeuStar will follow the industry guidelines for notification
of central office code assignments. 
NeuStar will issue notification of all NPA code jeopardy situations and
other pertinent activities to the appropriate regulatory agencies and affected
industry members.  It should be noted that NeuStar introduced an
electronic mailing list, “code-admin”, specifically for announcement of items
of interest relating to code administration. 
This notification mechanism will be incorporated into the new NAS.


 


NeuStar will have the capability to input rating and routing
data into BIRRDS.  NANPA will enter data
directly into BIRRDS.  NeuStar obtained this capability in 1997
and will continue to maintain and use it to enter data directly, as required
under the new contract.  Further, NeuStar
plans to continue to offer data entry as an enterprise service.


 


I.3.1.4 Status Reporting (RFP M.2.A.2, TRD 4.2.4,)


 


NeuStar will monitor and report the status of NXXs in each
NPA daily to ensure clients have the most up-to-date information required.


 


As
indicated earlier, NeuStar will provide real time updates on CO codes assigned
and available.  NeuStar also makes many
other useful CO code reports available on its NANPA website.  These reports include a code assignment
activity report—summarizing rationing amounts, codes assigned, codes returned,
and available and unavailable codes.  A
comprehensive description of reports provided is in Proposal Section I.2.7.


 


I.3.1.5 Tracking CO Code
Utilization for NPA Relief (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2,
TRD 4.2.5,)


 


NeuStar’s experienced forecasters, code administrators, and
relief planners will work together to track CO code utilization in preparation
for NPA relief.


 





















 


NeuStar
will determine when to initiate NPA relief by continually monitoring central office
code growth and projecting exhaust as required in TRD Section 4.2.5.  To facilitate review and analysis of growth
data, NeuStar designed a report summarizing all data pertinent to central
office code growth activity, including the number of assignments, returns,
available codes, and rationing information. 
The report is available on the NANPA website.


 


When
NeuStar identifies a potential NPA exhaust condition, it notifies the
appropriate state commission and affected parties in accordance with the
guidelines.  NeuStar will prepare and
organize a relief planning meeting for each NPA projected to exhaust within 36
months, obtain local industry consensus on a relief plan, and submit the plan
to the state for approval.  Comprehensive
information on relief planning can be found in Proposal Section I.3.2.


 


I.3.1.6 Management of Jeopardy
Conditions (RFP M.2.A.2, TRD 4.2.6)


 


NeuStar code administrators will faithfully develop and follow
jeopardy procedures— conducting lotteries and facilitating the development of
consensus relief plans in a scrupulously neutral manner.


 


NeuStar
declares a jeopardy condition in an NPA when forecasted or actual demand for CO
codes will exceed the supply before relief can be provided.  When a jeopardy condition is declared,
NeuStar first notifies the appropriate regulatory authority and then the
industry.  NeuStar convenes the industry
to develop NPA or state-specific jeopardy procedures, which typically limit the
number of CO codes that can be assigned each month and establish lotteries to
determine which of the qualified applicants will receive assignments.  For the duration of the jeopardy condition,
NeuStar conducts the lottery each month and assigns codes according to the
outcome.  NeuStar, as NANPA, has managed
more than 100 NPA jeopardy conditions and facilitated more than 250 associated
meetings, all in accordance with regulatory orders and industry guidelines.  Fortunately, the FCC’s numbering optimization
initiatives and the return of CO codes attendant thereto have reduced the
number of jeopardy conditions from 73 in 1999 to 41 in 2002.  In 2002, NeuStar, on its own initiative,
recommended and received authority from the industry to rescind jeopardy under
certain conditions and has exercised this new authority in 9 NPAs.


 


After
a jeopardy condition is declared, NeuStar immediately invokes temporary
jeopardy procedures, allowing assignment of only three codes per month to
protect the remaining supply of codes. 
The industry, with NeuStar code administration assistance, develops
final jeopardy


 





















 


procedures in accordance with Section 9.0 of the central office
code assignment guidelines.  In the past,
these procedures have varied significantly from one state to another.  State commissions may introduce additional
variances.  Delegated authority allows
some state commissions to direct NeuStar to implement NPA-specific numbering
conservation measures.  [* * *]


 


During
a jeopardy condition, NeuStar monitors central office code assignment and
return activity continuously and assesses the impact on NPA exhaust.  This information is posted to the NANPA
website.  This process is performed in
conjunction with preparation for NPA relief. 
In most cases, rationing of central office code assignments ends
simultaneously with the effective date of NPA relief, although a few states
were granted delegated authority to continue rationing for up to six months
after relief is implemented.  In managing
jeopardy conditions, NeuStar rigorously complies with the regulatory
directives, industry guidelines, and requirements of TRD Section 4.2.6 and
will continue to do so during the next five years.


 


I.3.1.7 Management of Code
Inventory (RFP M.2.A.2, TRD 4.3,)


 


During the past five years, NeuStar has taken a number of
initiatives to significantly improve the accuracy of CO code inventory records
received from previous RBOC code administrators and has augmented the supply of
NXXs through release of unavailable codes, thereby extending the lives of
several NPAs.


 


The
management of CO code inventory is a critical task.  If inventories are not managed properly,
substantial problems can ensue, most notably, the premature exhaust of an area
code.  NeuStar determines when to
initiate NPA relief by continually monitoring CO code assignments and projecting
exhaust.  As required in TRD Section 4.3,
NeuStar tracks and monitors MTE submissions, code forecasts, and utilization
reports to better understand forecast demand and anticipate the need for relief
to avoid premature exhaust of each NPA and the NANP.  A comprehensive discussion on forecasting and
utilization can be found in Proposal Section I.3.3.


 


Further,
NeuStar continually seeks to meet the spirit of the requirements—optimizing the
efficiency of number usage, in accordance with the FCC’s objectives. For
example, NeuStar, on its own initiative, has taken positive, pro-active steps
to increase the number of CO codes available for assignment.  [* * *]


 


NeuStar
also believes that this requirement entails an obligation to maintain the
quality of the code inventory data.  To
this end, NeuStar, on its own initiative, has undertaken an effort to compare


 





















 


and resolve discrepancies among the three primary databases containing
CO code information:  NeuStar’s CAS and
NRUF, and Telcordia’s LERG.  Service
providers control the input to all three of these databases, but some have not
made a concerted effort to keep the data synchronized.  Each month, NeuStar does a comparison of
these databases and attempts to resolve discrepancies by contacting the
affected service providers. More than a thousand discrepancies have been
resolved to date. The CO code inventory is more accurate than ever before.


 


I.3.1.8 Resource Reclamation (RFP M.2.A.2, TRD 4.4)


 


Since the first FCC NRO Order was released in July 2000,
NeuStar has worked cooperatively with regulatory authorities and the industry,
in the process recovering more than 1,900 central office codes, equivalent to
19 million telephone numbers.


 


When a
CO code is assigned, the code administrator and applicant establish an
effective date for the code, and that date is entered into BIRRDS, thus
informing carriers of the existence of, and the need to route calls to, numbers
in the new code.  The assignment guidelines
require that the code be in service no later than six months after the original
effective date entered in BIRRDS.  The
assignee confirms that the code is in service by completing and filing a Part 4
form.  If five months have elapsed since
the effective date, and a Part 4 has not been filed, NeuStar issues a
reminder to the code holder.  If the Part 4
is not received by the end of the sixth month after the effective date, the
code is considered delinquent, and NeuStar will begin reclamation procedures by
notifying the appropriate regulatory authority, which makes the decision on
whether or not the code is to be reclaimed. The FCC’s NRO orders delegated
reclamation authority to the states, if they wished to exercise it, and more
than 30 states have opted to do so.  The
FCC makes reclamation decisions for delinquent codes in the remaining
states.  As the designated FCC and state
regulatory agency personnel determine whether or not each delinquent code
should be reclaimed, NeuStar works closely with them to carry out their
directives.  The NANPA website lists
regulatory contacts along with summary reclamation procedures for reference.  Prior to the NRO orders, INC made reclamation
decisions.  Since the regulatory authorities
took on this role, the number of codes reclaimed has increased
substantially.  [* * *]


 


NeuStar’s
current NANPA system accepts Part 4 forms and automates the reclamation
process by generating the reminder letters and maintaining the list of
delinquent codes.  These functions will
be incorporated into NAS.  It should be
noted that the new requirements introduce a Part 5 form into the
process.  When NeuStar receives a
completed Part 4 form from the service


 





















 


provider, indicating that an assigned code has been placed into
service, NAS will issue a Part 5 form to confirm receipt of the Part 4.


 


I.3.2 NPA
Relief Planning (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 4.2.5, 5.0, 8.3,)


 


NeuStar will continue the tradition of excellence it has
established in NPA relief planning to ensure the optimization of the NANP.


 


The
number of telephone numbers assigned to service providers in the United States
has increased dramatically over the past seven years.  [* * *] As NANPA, NeuStar has ably
responded to this unprecedented surge of NPA relief requirements, initiating
and facilitating 132 NPA relief projects, thus ensuring the continued viability
of our area code system and the telephone industry’s ability to support the
mushrooming service demands of the public. 
NeuStar has met this challenge by combining unmatched expertise,
unassailable neutrality, innovation, and a comprehensive understanding of the
guidelines set forth in INC NPA Relief Planning and
Notification Guidelines and TRD Section 5.  If selected, NeuStar will continue to serve
the industry with the highest levels of dedication, quality, and neutrality.


 


[* * *]


 


Evidence of relief planning capability—NeuStar’s NANPA NPA relief planning personnel
have initiated 132 relief projects, facilitated more than 1,000 industry
meetings, published nearly 1,500 documents, and filed 120 relief petitions with
state regulatory agencies.  NeuStar has
developed and refined a highly successful NPA relief planning process that has
earned NeuStar NPA relief planners the trust of state commissions and the
industry.


 


Surveys
completed by those attending relief planning meetings consistently rate NeuStar’s
NPA relief planning performance as “outstanding.” Overall satisfaction with the
conduct of conference calls in 2002 was rated at 4.89 out of a maximum of 5.00,
consistently high when compared to the overall satisfaction of 4.85/5.00
measured in 2001.  NeuStar’s success is
also demonstrated in its consistent record of triggering relief planning
actions at the appropriate time.


 


NeuStar
listens closely to customer feedback and acts accordingly to improve its processes,
for instance, making greater use of conference calls to reduce travel costs and
increase relief planning meeting participation. 
NeuStar’s dedication to neutrality and the fair and open conduct of the
industry meetings is unquestioned.  In
customer surveys, “impartiality” ranks near the very top in customer
satisfaction rankings.


 





















 


NeuStar
has made the NPA relief planning process more effective and efficient in terms
of automated support and also in terms of process improvements.  When the volume of NPA relief projects
increased dramatically in 1999, NeuStar, on its own initiative (with FCC
approval), developed a new method to disseminate notifications and documents
more effectively—the widely acclaimed Document Distribution Service (DDS).  In 2000, NeuStar initiated the concept of a
pre-Initial Planning Document (IPD) conference call meeting before every new
NPA relief project that increased the quality of relief alternatives.


 


NPA Relief planning process summary—Exhibit I-13 illustrates NeuStar’s
NPA relief planning process, focusing on relief timing, relief planning, status
reporting, NPA code assignment, and implementation.  The shadings in the exhibit identify the
process components.  The circled numbers
in the exhibit correlate the text of the various sections with the
exhibit.  For further clarification,
process components (blocks) in the exhibit also identify applicable TRD paragraphs
in the lower right hand corner.


 


I.3.2.1 Relief Timing (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 5.1.1, 5.1.4,)


 


NeuStar will continue to utilize sophisticated forecasting
modeling and an industry-standard, 36-month timeframe to ensure continued
availability of resources for service providers.


 


In an
ever-changing telecommunications environment where factors such as the level of
competition, market forces, the state of the economy, and unique local
conditions (e.g., a large number of rate centers) impact numbering demand,
NeuStar has developed a sophisticated utilization and forecasting model
(described in more detail in Proposal Section I.3.3) that serves as the
starting point of NPA relief planning 1.


 


As
required, NeuStar initiates NPA relief planning 36 months in advance of NPA exhaust.
Timely initiation of NPA relief minimizes the possibility that numbers will
become scarce, or even run out, before the relief solution can be implemented.


 





















 


[Exhibit I-13: Graphic Design]


 


NeuStar establishes a specific date (36 months before exhaust) when the
initial industry NPA relief planning meeting will be held 2.  Scheduling
the initiation of relief 36-months prior to exhaust has proven to be the most
efficient amount of time for the industry to reach consensus on a recommended
relief plan and for the state commission to conduct its own investigation prior
to approving a relief plan.  In fact,
NeuStar considered the option of initiating NPA relief planning earlier, e.g.,
42 months prior to exhaust, which would provide more time, but found such a
change to be of little value, since the state commissions continued to key
their actions toward the current projected lead-time of NPA exhaust.


 


I.3.2.2 NPA Relief Planning (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 4.2.5, 5.1.2 to 5.1.10, 5.1.16, 8.3)


 


NeuStar will continue to innovate to maximize the quality and
number of relief alternatives available while enabling the state regulatory
commissions and the industry to make informed, effective decisions with regard
to relief planning.


 


The
industry guidelines dictate how NPA relief planning should be conducted, but
NPA relief planning involves much more than simply following these
guidelines.  The path to a consensus
solution involves potential pitfalls; e.g., for competitive reasons various
industry segments prefer splits or overlays, making consensus difficult in some
cases.  The successful NeuStar relief
planner knows that to reach consensus requires advance preparation, excellent
facilitation skills, a keen understanding of the consensus process and, above
all, total neutrality.


 


To
that end, in 2000, NeuStar proactively initiated the concept of holding a
pre-Initial Planning Document (IPD) meeting (conference call) prior to each new
NPA relief project start-up. This resulted in maximizing the quality and number
of relief alternatives and helping industry representatives better prepare for
the follow-on IPD review meeting and initial NPA relief planning meeting,
thereby increasing the likelihood and efficiency of gaining consensus for a
solution.


 


As
required, NeuStar establishes the date for the initial NPA relief planning
meeting and notifies the service providers, state commission, and other
affected parties 8 weeks in advance 3.  NeuStar advises the state commissions ahead
of time since public and media reaction can sometimes be quite strong when word
of NPA relief planning becomes general knowledge.  NeuStar takes special steps to identify all
parties in the NPA who should be invited to attend the initial NPA relief


 





















 


planning meeting, such as independent telephone companies, competitive
local exchange carriers, cellular carriers, and paging companies, by consulting
a variety of information sources such the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG),
state commission websites, CO code assignees, etc. and maintaining a database
of all contact information.  Inadvertent
omission of even one affected party’s invitation to an initial relief planning
meeting may invalidate the meeting’s outcome, thereby wasting precious time and
resources.


 


NeuStar
makes the extra effort to provide relief planning participants with rate center
information and an accompanying map early on in the process to increase the
likelihood of consensus on a relief recommendation at a broadly attended
initial relief planning meeting.


 


Experience
has shown that our 8-week invitation lead-time gives attendees ample time to schedule and
prepare for the meeting.  More time is
unnecessary and less time, e.g., 6 weeks advance notice, will not provide
enough time to conduct the NeuStar-initiated pre-IPD meeting and then
distribute the IPD at least 4 weeks prior to the initial NPA relief planning
meeting.


 


Prior
to 2001, almost all initial relief-planning meetings were conducted
face-to-face, at a location within the NPA undergoing relief.  In 2001, responding to customer feedback,
NeuStar began to combine high-quality conference calls with face-to-face
meetings, starting first with initial implementation meetings.  Initial concern in some quarters about the
effectiveness of conference calls proved unfounded and attendance at the
meetings has risen steadily.  NeuStar now
conducts all industry meetings, including initial and follow-up relief planning
meetings, via conference calls.  Benefits
of this approach include:


 


•                  Increased meeting attendance, despite industry downsizing and increased
workloads on the employees who remain.


 


•                  Improved quality and increased numbers of relief alternatives because a
broader cross-section of industry representation, e.g., rural service
providers, who now attend to provide their viewpoints.


 


•                  Reduced travel costs for all parties.


 


Key
factors in maintaining the quality of conference calls, sometimes in a
contentious environment, have been: (1) the effectiveness of NeuStar as a
skilled, experienced impartial facilitator, (2) thorough preparation in
advance of the meeting, and (3) high-quality planning documents delivered
well in advance of the meeting.  All
NeuStar relief planners receive training on neutrality and effective
facilitation techniques, with annual refresher training.  [* * *] NeuStar


 





















 


resolves any concerns about participation by providing all relevant
documents in advance of the meeting using the DDS, which has proven to be very
effective.  As evidence that this
approach works, NeuStar-conducted surveys in 2002 showed that 154 respondents
(50% of the attendees) rated our overall performance in the conduct of the
meetings an average of 4.89 out of a perfect 5.0, clearly a superior level of
satisfaction.


 


NeuStar
distributes the IPD four weeks prior to the initial industry meeting including
at least one split and one overlay 4.  NeuStar developed a model (accepted by the
industry) that quickly and consistently calculates the exhaust of the relief
alternatives.  With the use of this
model, analysis of new or modified relief alternatives suggested at the relief
meeting can be accomplished in real-time thereby saving considerable time and,
very importantly, virtually eliminates the need for an additional meeting.


 


NeuStar
conducts the initial relief planning meeting and any follow-on meetings needed
to achieve consensus on a relief plan 5.  [* * *]


 


NeuStar
publishes draft minutes within two weeks after a meeting, conducts associated minutes review,
schedules any future meetings, and distributes appropriate notices to all
parties via NeuStar’s DDS 6.


 


After
the final industry meeting, NeuStar, on behalf of the industry, prepares a
petition describing the NPA relief recommendations and the alternatives
considered 7.  NeuStar then submits the petition, with all
associated documentation, to the state commission, typically within six weeks
after the initial industry meeting.  In
the course of submitting 120 NPA relief recommendations in 37 different states,
NeuStar has gained valuable experience on the importance of preparing petitions
in accordance with the unique state rules. 
Absent strict adherence, the petitions may either be rejected or not
acted upon in a timely manner thereby unnecessarily delaying needed NPA relief.


 


After
an NPA relief petition is filed, under normal circumstances state commissions
usually take an average of 10-12 months to approve the relief plan.  In the meantime, to keep all parties
informed, NeuStar posts, on the NANPA website a status report of all active
relief planning projects, with bi-weekly updates 8.  NeuStar will use
this same type of report as a basis for providing monthly status reports to the
FCC and NANC.


 


NeuStar
works proactively with state commissions to ensure they receive up-to-date information
(e.g., code assignment history, most recent exhaust forecast, testimony,
interrogatories, etc.) and participates in public hearings to assist the state
commission in arriving at a relief plan


 





















 


decision 9, 10.  To allow sufficient time to implement an
approved relief plan, NeuStar informs the state commission no later than 16
months prior to NPA exhaust to remind them of the latest forecasted NPA exhaust
date and the need for relief plan approval.


 


In
accordance with individual state regulatory commission procedures, NeuStar will
provide testimony at public hearings and meetings sponsored by state
commissions, if requested or required to do so. 
NeuStar has participated in more than 200 state-sponsored hearings and
has often been called upon to provide expert testimony regarding NPA relief
planning.  NeuStar has become familiar
with the unique local jurisdictional rules, not obvious to the inexperienced,
that impact timely NPA relief. For instance, Mississippi requires that local
counsel represent NANPA at commission hearings. 
In California, NeuStar will continue the established practice of scheduling
all NPA relief-related public and local jurisdiction meetings and providing
court reporters to record the proceedings.


 


TRD Section 5.1.16
identifies additional relief planning responsibilities in circumstances where
the industry establishes a specific date by which the state commission has been
requested to approve the recommended NPA relief plan 15.  [* * *]
In the event an approval date is specified, however, NeuStar will work proactively
with the state to obtain approval of the relief plan by the requested date.


 


If the
relief plan has not been approved, NeuStar will notify the state commission and
NANC chair 85 days prior to the requested approval date.  This notification serves as a reminder of the
requested approval date and will include all relevant NPA status
information.  If the state commission has
still not approved the relief plan by the industry-requested date, NeuStar, not
later than five days after this date, will notify the FCC and NANC of the
relief status and provide a date by which an order is required to avoid
jeopardizing timely implementation of NPA relief.  Generally, this date will be 16-19 months
prior to exhaust based on industry estimates of minimal time needed to
implement a split or an overlay.


 


I.3.2.3 Status Reporting (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 5.1.5, 5.1.9, 8.3)


 


As NANPA, NeuStar’s web-based relief planning status
reporting is already in place, and will be expanded to provide additional
information and updated even more frequently than required to better serve the
users.


 





















 


NeuStar
will comply with NPA relief planning status reports called for in the TRD 8. 
For the past four years, NeuStar has been posting on the NANPA website,
on a bi-weekly basis, a status report very similar in content to the categories
listed in TRD Section 8.3.  This
report is the primary resource for industry and state commissions seeking the
most up-to-date status of active relief planning projects.  NeuStar’s NANPA website chart will continue
to serve as the primary NPA relief status report and additional information
categories will be added to bring the report into full compliance with TRD Section 8.3.  For example, the NeuStar NPA status report
was recently updated to include additional factors such as “Number of remaining
NXXs” and “Number of NXXs unavailable” which are required under TRD Section 8.3.


 


NeuStar
will exceed the monthly update requirement specified in TRD Section 8.3 by
providing the status report on a bi-weekly basis.  NeuStar has learned from users that bi-weekly
updates better meet user needs than monthly updates.  No user has suggested a need for more
frequent updates than every two weeks. 
To help users keep track of changes, the web status chart will show the
date of the most recent version and the date of the previous version.


 


NeuStar
will provide a quarterly report to the NANC showing NeuStar’s performance in
scheduling initial relief planning meetings 36 months in advance of NPA
exhaust. Our performance monitoring process already includes the measurement
and monthly reporting of this requirement.


 


NeuStar
will meet the specific delivery requirement of TRD Section 5.1.9 for NANPA
to track and report monthly on the status of pending relief plans to the FCC
and NANC.  Essentially, the report will
be the same as the one described above (for TRD Section 8.3). It will be delivered
electronically and in hard copy form to the FCC and the NANC each month just as
NeuStar does today.


 


Additionally,
NeuStar will exceed the reporting requirements by continuing to post each month
to the NANPA website an addendum not mentioned in the TRD entitled “Status of
NPA Relief Projects with Specific Actions and Trigger Points.”  This addendum lists future NANPA actions to
be taken after a specified event takes place. 
For example, a state commission has ordered NANPA to alert it when NPAs
in their jurisdiction reach a point six months from exhaust so implementation
of a previously suspended relief plan could be resumed.  These trigger points serve as reminders so
that essential actions are taken in a timely manner.  NeuStar currently monitors over 20 trigger
points of this type.  Because industry
feedback has been so positive on this proactive


 





















 


approach, NeuStar will continue to post this special report under the
new contract, even though it is not specifically required by the RFP.


 


I.3.2.4 NPA Code Assignment (RFP
L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 5.1.11)


 


Because NPA code selection and assignment functions present
significant challenges, NeuStar will continue to have experienced NPA relief
planners and code administrators select relief NPA codes and the NANPA Director
will make the assignments.


 


After
a state commission approves an NPA relief plan and issues a relief order,
NeuStar requests the assignment of an NPA code for assignment to the affected
area 11.


 


•                  The NPA relief planner submits a completed Part 1 form to the
NANPA Director;


 


•                  The NANPA Director assigns an NPA relief code if the approved relief
plan meets the NPA relief guidelines; or


 


•                  If the state-approved relief plan violates the guidelines, the NANPA
Director denies the Part 1 relief code request, informally notifies the
state commission of the denial, including the reasons, and follows with the
denial with a letter to the state commission, a copy to the FCC.


 


On the
surface these tasks may appear as simple as selecting any available three-digit
number from the allowable range of 200-999. 
The NPA code assignment process, however, is laden with nuances and
potential technical, regulatory, and political pitfalls.


 


Most
NPAs already have a relief code reserved for future growth.  Industry guidelines require NANPA to reserve
a relief code for each NPA that is forecasted to exhaust within the next 20
years. The criteria for reserving an NPA relief code dictate that the code must
not be the same as an assigned NXX code (or prefix) in the existing area code
to avoid dialing conflicts, and that it must not be easily confused with
dialing adjacent NPAs. A few states have additional restrictions due to their
9-1-1 implementation plans and procedures or other factors.  Because the supply of available NPAs is
dwindling, the number of available relief codes to choose from for future
relief has become increasingly limited.


 


NeuStar
assigns NPA relief codes strictly in accordance with the industry’s guidelines,
but occasionally a sensitive situation arises when the relief plan, as approved
by the state commission, violates those guidelines.  In one situation, a state commission approved
a 3-way geographic split that resulted in a 27-year difference between
projected exhaust lives of the NPAs after the split.  In


 





















 


compliance with Section 5.0(g) of the NPA Code Relief and Notification Guidelines,
NANPA denied the NPA relief code request because the difference in the
projected lives of the NPAs after relief was greater than the allowable maximum
of 10 years. In this case, the NANPA relief planner informally advised the
state commission staff in advance that NANPA would have to deny the code
requests.  While a situation like this
does not occur often, NeuStar enforces industry guidelines, informs the
regulatory authorities of the applicable guidelines, and attempts to resolve
the conflict between the ordered relief plan and the guidelines.


 


I.3.2.5 Implementation  (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2,
TRD 5.1.12)


 


NeuStar will leverage its experience and earned trust and
reliance by the industry to continue to effectively coordinate and facilitate
timely and successful NPA relief implementations.


 


NeuStar’s
primary role in the relief implementation process is to organize and lead the
industry implementation team toward successful implementation of a new NPA
relief project in accordance with an approved relief plan.  Based on lessons learned facilitating over 90
initial implementation meetings, NeuStar developed and continually refines an
implementation checklist.  To assist
service providers in addressing critical items necessary for a successful
implementation, e.g., test numbers, customer education, network modifications,
ANI digit conversion dates, etc.  In
addition, NeuStar has responded to suggestions from the industry by instituting
conference call-only arrangements for implementation activities.  The switch to conference calls has proven
effective for conducting implementation activities, and NeuStar has been complimented
by the industry for its cost cutting measures.


 


Within
two weeks after the assignment of a new NPA relief code, NeuStar issues a press
release announcing the new NPA code 12,
in accordance with Section 5.7 of the NPA
Relief Planning and Notification Guidelines, which is distributed
via various media channels in addition to being posted on the NANPA
website.  Occasionally, the state
commission will opt to prepare and distribute the press release, in which case
NeuStar assists by suggesting content for inclusion in the press release.
During this period, diligence must be exercised when responding to increased
media requests for details concerning relief plans such as the identity of the
new NPA code before it is made public. 
NeuStar relief planners receive media relations training and have
learned through experience how to deal effectively with the media in these
circumstances.


 





















 


NeuStar
convenes an initial implementation meeting within 45 calendar days after the assignment
of the new NPA 13. The agenda for
the initial implementation meeting follows the NeuStar-developed checklist of
items to be addressed by industry members, e.g., implementation timetable.


 


During
the initial implementation meeting, facilitated by NANPA, the industry discusses,
and usually reaches agreement on the particulars for implementation of a relief
NPA plan.  Minutes of the meeting are
posted to the NANPA website. NANPA publishes a planning letter within three
weeks after the initial implementation meeting and posts it to the NANPA
website 14.  The information contained in the planning letter
reflects consensus agreements at the initial implementation meeting.  The planning letter provides official
notification to the industry and the public that NPA relief is pending.  Since 1997, NeuStar has published 327
planning letters.


 


At
times, a state commission may issue a supplemental order modifying the original
relief order, which may impact an implementation schedule already
underway.  For example, the state commission
could delay the effective date of the new NPA. 
As NANPA, NeuStar monitors state commission directives daily throughout
the implementation cycle and publishes planning letters announcing such changes
within 10 business days after the order.


 


During
implementation, it may become necessary to declare the NPA in jeopardy, which
may involve rationing of the remaining NXX resource.  This becomes necessary when NANPA projects
that the supply of available central office codes in the NPA will exhaust
before the implementation of the relief NPA. 
NeuStar’s NANPA jeopardy processes are previously described in detail in
Proposal Section I.3.1.7.


 


The
completion of an NPA relief plan signals the culmination of a planning and implementation
process that usually spans three years or more. 
NeuStar serves in a pivotal role of coordinating and facilitating the
various stages of the relief planning process leading up to, and including, the
timely and successful implementation of the new NPA.


 


I.3.2.6              Meeting Other TRD Section 5
Requirements (RFP M.2.A.2, TRD 5,
5.1.16, 5.2)


 


TRD 5 includes requirements that do not fit neatly into the NPA relief
planning areas of focus specified in RFP Section L.5 as described in the
foregoing sections.  NeuStar will comply
with all TRD Section 5 requirements including the introductory paragraphs
of TRD Section 5, TRD Section 5.1.16 Compliance, and TRD Section 5.2
User Notification as described below.


 





















 


TRD 5. (Introductory paragraphs)—NeuStar will perform all area code (NPA)
relief functions specified in the INC NPA
Relief Planning and Notification Guidelines [INC 97-0404-016].  NeuStar recognizes the importance of
identifying and maintaining a depth of knowledge of local/regional environments
and operating/certified service providers for every NPA relief-planning
project. But finding this information is no easy task.  NeuStar reviews the Local Exchange Routing
Guide (LERG), consult with state commissions and local telephone company
staffs, obtain recent census data, and carefully study local rate center lists
and maps.  [* * *] This, combined
with direct input from users in the NeuStar-initiated pre-IPD meetings, has
significantly improved knowledge of the local environment that has led to
higher quality, more acceptable geographic split alternatives.


 


NeuStar’s
relief planning process described in Proposal Section I.3.2 complies with
TRD Section 5 by identifying NPAs in need of relief and by providing
effective management of the relief effort through the successful implementation
of a new area code.


 


TRD 5.1.16 Compliance—NeuStar will comply with all requirements in the
industry guidelines listed.  NeuStar
directly participated in the development and improvement of these guidelines
and is thoroughly familiar with the requirements contained therein.  NeuStar will ensure the continued
availability of numbering resources by using: (a) a proven NPA forecasting
approach described in Section I.3.3, (b) comprehensive performance
monitoring and management processes described in Proposal Section I.2.5,
and (c) a timely and proven NPA relief planning process as described in Section I.3.2.  NeuStar will rely on its extensive experience
gained in numerous in-person meetings and discussions with virtually all state
commission authorities, and by applying NeuStar’s approach to assist state
commissions in making timely relief decisions if the industry seeks endorsement
of a relief plan by a requested date. 
NeuStar will comply with the last two paragraphs of TRD 5.1.16 related
to timely approval of relief plans by the industry-specified date.


 


TRD 5.2 User Notification—NeuStar keeps users fully informed about the status of
all active NPA relief planning projects, including any potential delays,
through electronic notifications generated currently by the NeuStar-developed
DDS, which will be integrated into the upgraded NANPA Administration System.
NeuStar, at its own initiative and expense, designed an innovative,
user-friendly service that it successfully deployed in September 1999 that
greatly simplified notifications and significantly improved user access to
information, thereby enhancing overall participation in NPA relief planning.


 





















 


Today,
this web-based service, with nearly 2700 registrants, allows users to sign up
to receive notifications by location and enables downloading documents, around
the clock.  Current documents are located
on an electronic bulletin board, sorted chronologically for quick reference and
downloading.  Documents in the DDS
library (since September 1999) can be searched by state and NPA and
quickly downloaded in a format compatible with all computer systems.  For example, those new to NPA relief planning
can bring themselves quickly up-to-speed with immediate access to background
documents in the DDS library.  Our
customers repeatedly compliment DDS and how it has measurably improved their
productivity.  The same rich feature set
and user-friendly access to relief planning notifications and documents will be
provided by NeuStar; who fully understands DDS and what it takes to make it
even better.


 


I.3.3  Utilization and Forecasting (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6)


 


NeuStar will continue to ensure complete and accurate data
recording and forecasting, thereby providing regulatory authorities reliable
and accurate information needed to implement their optimization initiatives.


 


Utilization
and forecast data serve as a window to the current status of numbers and the
future needs of the telecommunications industry—carrying enormous implications
for the FCC, state commissions, the industry, and the public.  In 2000, the FCC recognized that the previous
process of collecting utilization and forecast data was inadequate for an
expanding and evolving telecommunications environment.  A new reporting process, known as NANP Number
Resource Utilization/Forecast (NRUF) reporting, was launched.  [* * *] If selected to continue
serving as the NANPA, NeuStar will continue to focus on three areas:


 


•                  Ensuring entities required to report utilization and forecast data
submit complete and accurate data and, in doing so, provide them special tools
and aids to assist in their efforts;


 


•                  Developing and obtaining FCC and NANC approval for data collection and
data analysis processes and methodologies designed to ensure accurate forecasts
with minimum possibility of significant error; and


 


•                  Programming automated support into the new NAS to the extent that is
reasonable, that is, to the extent the automated support helps service
providers report their information and data analysts do their jobs, without
introducing risk or trying to automate good judgment.


 





















 


NeuStar
recognizes the significant responsibility of developing area code and NANP exhaust
forecasts.  The adverse consequences of
inaccurate projections can be sizeable, affecting service providers, state
commissions, the public, and the FCC’s preeminent status as a highly respected
federal agency.  Bad forecasts can lead
to emergency NPA jeopardy declaration and CO code rationing and degradation of
the integrity of the administration of the NANP.


 


Accordingly,
NeuStar has taken and will continue to take number utilization forecasting as
an extraordinary NANPA responsibility. 
The following section describes, in detail, NeuStar’s data
analysis, aggregation, reporting, and trending efforts highlighted in Exhibit I-14.  The viability of the NANP and the
availability of critical numbering resources needed to fuel the evolution of
the telecommunications industry require an in-depth, comprehensive discussion
of NeuStar’s approach to utilization and forecast reporting and analysis.


 


I.3.3.1 
Data Request (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6.1.1, 6.12,
6.1.3, 6.1.7, 6.4)


 


NeuStar will continue to make it simple for service providers
to respond with on-time, properly completed semiannual utilization and forecast
reports.


 


NeuStar
recognized early in the implementation of NRUF reporting that a significant
amount of NANPA support to the service providers and state regulatory
authorities was necessary to achieve the full value of this reporting
requirement.  NeuStar’s commitment to the
success of this new reporting process is demonstrated by ongoing efforts to
train service providers, by use of job aids, by continuing to enhance the
reporting mechanisms used by service providers, and by delivering to the
regulatory authorities on a timely basis the information they must have to make
important decisions concerning number optimization.


 


As
NANPA, NeuStar serves as the point of contact for the collection of utilization
and forecast data 1 and assists
service providers in submitting their data. 
To this end, NeuStar notifies all U.S. service providers of their
obligation to report utilization and forecast data semi-annually (February 1
and August 1) by using the Office of Management and Budget’s Form 502,
NANP Number Resource Utilization/Forecast (NRUF), for all central office codes
assigned from the 500 NPA and 900 NPA and all central office codes and
thousand-blocks assigned from in-service geographic NPAs.  This data request specifies that their February 1
submission reflect utilization data as of December 31 and forecast data
for each year over the next five years.


 





















 


[Exhibit I-14:
Graphic Design]


 


For the August 1 submission, utilization data as of June 30
and a forecast for the remainder of the present year and the next four years is
required.  This data request also directs
service providers where to submit their information and advises them of any new
FCC requirements concerning the submission process.  In those instances where a state commission
has directed that utilization and forecast data only be submitted annually, for
example in Maine where rural service providers report only once a year, NeuStar
includes this information in its data request along with any additional
direction provided by that state.


 


NeuStar
also requests NANP member nation number administrators submit NPA utilization
and forecast data to NANPA so that it may be included in the development of the
NANP exhaust projection 1.  Other NANP member nations do not use the NRUF
reporting form to provide this data. 
Accordingly, NeuStar works directly with its counterparts in NANP member
countries to find the best way to obtain the data.  To maximize the data collection success rate
from NANP member nations, NeuStar (1) helps them see how their invested
time will benefit their industry and their public, and (2) coordinates to
determine mutually agreeable report formats and content.  An underlying factor in the success of its
data collection effort is that NeuStar continually strives to maintain open and
trusting relationships with its counterparts in other NANP nations.  In that regard, NeuStar has worked closely
with the Canadian Number Administrator to obtain timely utilization and
forecast data since Canada is second only to the US in the number of area codes
in use in the NANP area.  Other NANP
countries typically have a single area code that will meet their needs for the
foreseeable future.


 


NANPA
collects, processes, stores, analyzes and distributes, as appropriate, all
utilization and forecast data submitted by service providers and NANP member
countries.


 


As
NANPA, NeuStar maintains a contact list of individuals for each reporting
entity 1.  This list is updated with each NRUF
submission, so that the list remains current and accurate.  For those submissions emailed to NANPA,
NeuStar also records the email address of the individual submitting the
data.  Further, NeuStar catalogs and
archives contact information from previous submissions, permitting later
investigation of any possible discrepancies or issues that may arise as to
whether a service provider had previously submitted its data.  Additionally, NeuStar maintains an email
distribution list for service providers who express an interest in being
advised on NRUF-related matters.


 





















 


To
further simplify the service provider experience, NeuStar publishes via the
NANPA website an NRUF job aid 2 to
assist service providers in completing and submitting Form 502.  NeuStar developed this job aid in September 2000,
during the implementation of the NRUF reporting process.  The job aid has proven to be an effective
tool to communicate with service providers, and it enables NeuStar to
proactively address the numerous issues and problems service providers could
encounter.  This job aid provides
detailed instructions for completing the individual worksheets contained in the
Form 502, details where and how to submit the completed form to NANPA,
lists how to correct any identified errors or anomalies, and provides contact
information for NeuStar personnel assigned to help service providers with the
NRUF reporting process.


 


NeuStar
will accept and process service provider utilization and forecast data
submitted via the following methods: 
electronic file transfer (EFT), spreadsheet attachment to an email, and
online entry of submissions 4.  NeuStar responds promptly to questions
pertaining to any aspect of the NRUF reporting process, including questions
regarding forms, instructions, analysis and data assumptions.  NeuStar has nearly three years of experience
in working cooperatively and proactively with service providers and in
assisting them in complying with their reporting requirements.  No matter how much information is contained
in the job aid, individuals responsible for filing utilization and forecast
data on behalf of a service provider sometimes need to speak to someone who has
an in-depth knowledge of the forms and instructions, understands the entire
reporting process including all the nuances and particular state requirements,
and can clearly communicate the intricacies of the process.  [* * *] NeuStar allows only seasoned
NRUF experts to advise and assist on the topic of NRUF report preparation.  To improve the quality of customer service,
NeuStar’s NRUF experts receive formal training and annual refresher training in
such areas as interpersonal communications. 
Unless service providers get the help they need, the NRUF data will be
inaccurate or incomplete, and could potentially lead to inaccurate NPA and NANP
exhaust projections as well as sub-optimal decisions by the FCC concerning the
implementation of number optimization measures and the development of federal
policies.


 


I.3.3.2              Data Analysis (RFP
L5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.7, 6.1.10, 6.1.11, 6.3)


 


NeuStar has expanded and refined the NRUF data analysis
process and prepares NPA and NANP exhaust forecasts that are accurate to a high
degree of confidence and backed by a substantial amount of multi-source
supporting data.


 





















 


Using
a variety of numbering data information sources, NeuStar produces accurate NPA
and NANP exhaust projections. This process begins with the semi-annual
collection and analysis of the utilization and forecast data submitted by
service providers and NANP member nations.


 


During
each submission cycle, NeuStar first examines each data submission to identify
any data errors or anomalies, such as invalid rate center or NPA information 5. Proposal Section I.3.3.5 lists and
discusses data errors and anomalies.  If
no data errors or anomalies are discovered, NeuStar sends confirmation to the
service provider indicating that the submission has been accepted 6.


 


If
data errors are found, NeuStar notifies the service provider, indicating
specifically what errors or anomalies were found 5.  The service provider
must respond within five business days with either a corrected submission or an
explanation of the anomaly.  When the
service provider resubmits its data, NeuStar reexamines the submission to
determine if the errors and anomalies have been appropriately addressed.  If so, NeuStar sends the service provider
confirmation of acceptance 6.  If not, then, in accordance with the FCC’s
Number Optimization Order (FCC 00-104, paragraph 54) and INC’s NANP Number Resources NRUF Reporting Guidelines
(INC 00-0619-026), NeuStar concludes that the service provider’s data
submission is insufficient and reports its conclusion to the FCC and the
pertinent state commission, along with an appropriate explanation.7 NeuStar assigns no further resources to
that service provider until the appropriate state commission has resolved all
questions regarding the anomaly. 
Further, as an enforcement mechanism and numbering resource protective
action, NeuStar withholds the assignment of additional numbering resources to
any service provider that fails to provide utilization and forecast data for
the NPA(s) or rate center(s) in which resources are requested.


 


After
receiving the NRUF submissions, NeuStar begins the process of developing NPA
exhaust projections.  This process
involves using not only the forecast data provided by the service providers in
the NRUF submissions 8, but also
requires other data elements in order to develop more accurate NPA exhaust
projections such as block data information from the PA.9, 10.


 


[* * *]TRD
paragraphs 6.3.1.1 through 6.3.1.8, which specify additional data sources be
considered in performing such analyses, reflect NANC’s acceptance of NeuStar’s
use of these data sources.  Table I-13
lists each data element considered in forecasting NPA exhaust.

During
its tenure as the current NANPA, NeuStar identified the importance and
influence of these data elements on NPA exhaust and incorporated them into its
NPA exhaust projection methodology. NeuStar’s methodology, including associated
assumptions, has been reviewed extensively with and accepted by the FCC and the
NANC. As NANPA, NeuStar will continue to refine and test its methodology as the
telecommunications industry continues to undergo dynamic changes (e.g., the
maturation of the CLEC market and rollout of number pooling), as new numbering
optimization measures are introduced (e.g., unassigned number porting) and as
other data sources are identified that potentially impact number assignment and
usage. While doing so, NeuStar will continue to seek the advice and counsel of
both the FCC and the NANC as appropriate.


 





















 


In
projecting NPA exhaust, NeuStar pays careful attention to the distinctive
characteristics of each NPA.  It would be
easy to make the mistake of grouping NPAs into general categories (e.g.,
pooling vs. non-pooling, rural vs. non-rural) and then applying general
assumptions concerning code growth to each category and formulate an exhaust
projection.  This method however would
fail to recognize the uniqueness of each NPA and would risk inaccurate forecasts,
perhaps with significant adverse consequences. 
Each NPA is unique in terms of the data elements identified above and
therefore must be examined individually in order to fully understand the
specific ramifications of these elements on the life of the NPA and to
accurately estimate NPA exhaust.


 


Once
initial NPA exhaust projections are developed, NeuStar’s CO code administration
and relief planning staff members conduct an exhaustive review of the results
for each NPA 11.  This process permits those staff members, who
possess knowledge of local events and conditions, to contribute their insights
and expertise to these exhaust projections. 
Also, NeuStar included in this process a comparison of the current NPA
exhaust projection, including those NPAs that actually reach exhaust; with the
past five exhaust forecasts to help confirm the accuracy of the projection
methodology.  This process includes the
identification of the factors that contributed to the change in the NPA exhaust
time frame, and the impact of these factors in terms of the number of quarters
by which the projection changed.  Further,
NeuStar will determine what modifications, if any, need to be made to its NPA
exhaust methodology and what the potential outcome may be if such changes are
not implemented.  If modifications are
necessary, a full description of the proposed changes to the NPA exhaust
methodology will be presented to the FCC and the NANC for review and approval
prior to modifying the analysis process.


 


The
development of NPA exhaust projections is both an objective and subjective exercise.  One should be wary of any claim that some
mathematical algorithm or computer software program, of, and by itself, can
accurately estimate an NPA exhaust date. 
Such a claim would reflect a lack of understanding of the complexities
and nuances of NRUF data analysis. 
Accurate projections require a thorough review of a variety of data from
multiple data sources.  Only NeuStar
possesses these skill sets.


 


Upon
completion of the NPA exhaust analysis, NeuStar initiates NANP exhaust analysis
12.  NeuStar’s NANP exhaust model is based on a
set of assumptions that have been thoroughly reviewed by senior FCC personnel
and vetted with the telecommunications industry. To avoid any potential
confusion or disagreement with the study results, NeuStar will continue to approach
this


 





















 


effort as it has in the past. 
Prior to the analysis, NeuStar submits to the FCC, the NANC, and other
NANP member nations’ regulatory authorities for review and approval, a set of
assumptions to be incorporated into the NANP exhaust study.  Further, NeuStar will conduct appropriate
sensitivity analyses of these assumptions, identifying those assumptions with
the most impact on the results and varying them to determine their effect on
the NANP exhaust.  The NANP exhaust
analysis results, including the sensitivity analysis conducted and the results
will be reviewed with the appropriate regulatory bodies in the NANP member
countries and revised, if necessary, prior to publication 13. 
This partnership between NeuStar, as NANPA, the FCC, and the regulatory
authorities of the NANP member nations, permits NeuStar to receive valuable
insight and advice.  In addition, such
cooperative consultations ensure a full and complete understanding of the NANP
analysis and permit the FCC and other regulatory authorities to provide
additional direction, if required, before the study results are made public.


 


I.3.3.3              Data Reporting (RFP L5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6.1.5, 6.1.6, 6.1.8, 6.1.9, 6.3.3)


 


NeuStar will produce accurate, analytical data reports that
will inform the necessary parties of any developing trends or changes that may
require industry or regulatory action.


 


After
a review of the NPA and NANP exhaust analysis with the FCC and other appropriate
NANP member country regulatory authorities, NeuStar reports the results of this
analysis 14.  The report will be posted to the NANPA website
no later than the last business day of April (for the February 1
submission cycle) and October (for the August 1 submission cycle),
unless otherwise directed by the FCC. 
Included with these projections is a complete description of the
methodology employed.


 


NeuStar’s
NPA Exhaust Report (Table I-14 provides a sample excerpt from this report)
consists of the state, NPA, the projected exhaust date and the previous
forecast.  The report highlights any
significant anomalies that impacted the exhaust time frame and provides a brief
explanation of the change.  For example,
the implementation of pooling, the return of a large number of codes, or the
introduction of CO code rationing are certain anomalies that NeuStar currently
identifies in its reporting of NPA exhaust projections.

The
NANP exhaust analysis results include the description of the assumptions used
in the study, the results based upon those assumptions, and the results of
sensitivity analyses conducted.  This
analysis also highlights any anomalies and trends influencing NANP
exhaust.  If selected as NANPA, NeuStar
commits that this report, as well as the NPA Exhaust Analysis Report, will
continue to be consistent in content and format with each other, and that
NeuStar will continue to produce these reports and present them to the FCC and
to the NANC as has been done in the past.


 


In
addition to conducting the NPA and NANP exhaust analysis, NeuStar, in
accordance with FCC Numbering Resource Optimization Order (FCC 00-104) and INC
guidelines, provides state-specific, disaggregated service provider utilization
and forecast data to those state commissions with appropriate confidentiality
protections in place.  This data is
available 30 days after the February 1 and August 1 NRUF submission
deadlines.  NeuStar provides the data in
response to state commission requests or in accordance with a requested
delivery schedule specified by the state. 
Some states have requested a copy of the data on a monthly basis while
other states prefer to receive a revised copy of the information whenever there
have been additional submissions accepted by NeuStar between reporting cycles.


 


NeuStar
currently provides this data, contained in individual state-specific Microsoft
Access databases, in order to facilitate state commission examination of the
information.  In developing automated
support for the NRUF process, NeuStar recognized that an enormous amount of
data is collected over a six-month time period. 
NeuStar, therefore, devised an economical solution whereby


 





















 


individual states, with the use of readily available, commercial
off-the-shelf software, could access and make immediate use of the data.  Included in the database of information
distributed to the states are a variety of tables, queries, and pre-programmed
reports that NeuStar developed in cooperation with the states to assist them in
their analysis of the data.  NeuStar will
continue to provide this data in this format since the states are familiar with
this format and know how to use Microsoft ACCESS database tools.


 


Additionally,
this cost-efficient method permits states to easily create their own database
queries and reports that address their individual needs and allows NeuStar to
develop additional generic capabilities that may be used by all state
commissions.


 


To
further enhance state commission access to this important data, NeuStar will
also make this same information available to the states via password protected
access on the secure NANPA website. 
Information will be updated on a weekly basis so that states can obtain
access to up-to-date information as they desire.


 


I.3.3.4              Data Aggregation (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6.1.8)


 


Service providers update, revise, or amend their NRUF data
frequently.  NeuStar monitors the data
continuously in order to estimate the potential impact on NPA and NANP exhaust
on an ongoing basis.


 


NeuStar
collects, stores, examines, and analyzes utilization and forecast data
submitted by service providers between reporting cycles 15. 
NeuStar has found that service providers often update or modify their
forecast data provided in their original NRUF submissions.  For example, a service provider will update
its submission when, because of changes to its deployment plans, it now
requires resources in an NPA or rate center that it did not include in its
previous NRUF submissions.


 


To
determine whether NRUF submissions provided between reporting cycles may impact
NPA exhaust, NeuStar will, on a monthly basis, compare the aggregated service
provider utilization and forecast for an NPA as updated between cycle
submissions with the base aggregated service provider forecast from NRUF data
used as input to the development of the NPA exhaust.  For example, if the data used for performing
the NPA exhaust data contained all forecast data submitted as of February 15,
then NeuStar will take a snapshot of the aggregated service provider forecast
data as of March 15, April 15, and June 15 and compare it to the
February 15 data.  A change of plus
or minus 20% or more will trigger a full analysis of the NPA 16, to include all data elements as


 





















 


described in Proposal Section 3.3.3 and used in the development of
the original exhaust projection.  A 20%
change in forecasted demand is a strong indicator that further analysis is
needed to determine if a revised NPA exhaust projection is required.  If NeuStar determines that a new NPA forecast
is necessary 8, it will forward
the results of its analysis to the involved state and post the results on the
NANPA website.


 


In
addition to monitoring NRUF submissions provided between reporting cycles,
NeuStar will also monitor assignment rates in every NPA code on a
month-by-month basis and continuously compare actual versus projected monthly
assignments.  NeuStar currently performs
this monitoring and has found it essential to proper forecasting of exhaust and
timely initiation of NPA relief activities. 
Although NeuStar has found that changes in service provider forecasts
submitted between cycles have not impacted NPA or NANP exhaust to any
significant degree, other items may result in significant changes to exhaust
time frames.  Examples of items that may
result in these types of changes are the return or reclamation of a large
number of codes, the implementation of CO code rationing or changes in
rationing amounts, or changes in demand. 
Failure to monitor each NPA on a monthly basis may result in premature
NPA exhaust due to the inability to react quickly and effectively to changing
conditions or the unnecessary initiation of relief activities.  If an NPA exhaust projection requires
revision, NeuStar publishes a report commonly known as the “Delta NRUF”
report.  The “Delta NRUF” report is
published on the NANPA website after proper notification of the involved state
commission.  Notification is also sent to
the FCC and the NANC.  Further, NeuStar
conducts an assessment of the circumstances that led to the change in the
exhaust date and determines what, if any, potential modifications are necessary
to its models for projecting NPA exhaust. 
NeuStar shares its analysis with the FCC and the NANC, including any
proposed revisions to account for these types of circumstances.


 


I.3.3.5              Data Anomalies and
Trends (RFP L.5, M.2.A.2, TRD 6.1.11, 6.2, 6.3.3)


 


To ensure data integrity, NeuStar employs rigorous error
detection mechanisms that search each submission for errors or anomalies.


 


During
the processing of each service provider’s NRUF submission 4, NeuStar examines the submission for any
data errors or anomalies 5.  If any errors, inconsistencies, or anomalies
in the service provider’s submission are discovered, NeuStar informs the
service provider of its findings, including a specific description of the
item(s) in question, and gives the service provider five business days to
address the issue and resubmit the data.


 





















 


NeuStar
has developed a list of errors and anomalies, shown in Table I-15, that it
detects during the submission process—critical errors, minor errors, and
missing data. Also included in the table is a description of NeuStar’s
methodology for determining data errors and anomalies and the action taken to
allow the service provider an opportunity to address the problem.


 


NeuStar
also compares reported assignment and utilization data with the CO Code assignment
records and LERG data to identify those codes where no utilization data was
provided or such data was provided by a service provider that is not the one
shown in the NANPA assignment records or the LERG.  NANPA, the FCC, and the state regulatory
authorities use this data to identify and follow-up with service providers that
have failed to meet the FCC requirement for reporting number utilization and
forecast data.

The
identification and correction of data errors, inconsistencies and anomalies are
essential to the forecasting of NPA and NANP exhaust projections.  Simply put, “garbage in, garbage out.”  Additionally, state commissions use this data
to make important decisions concerning NPA relief and the implementation of
other number optimization measures (e.g., increased thousand block
contamination levels).


 


[* * *]


 


As
part of these efforts, NeuStar will also identify any other anomalies and/or
developing trends concerning NPAs and other NANP resources, for example,
carrier identification codes and


 





















 


555 line numbers.  In identifying
these anomalies and trends, NeuStar will provide an assessment of what is
driving these changes and, as required, recommend appropriate action.  NeuStar will report its findings to the FCC
on an annual basis, or more often if necessary, based upon the results of its
analysis.


 


I.3.4                        NANP Administration (RFP
M.2.A.2, TRD 3,)


 


NeuStar’s seasoned personnel will continue to administer CICs
and numerous other important NANP resources leveraging an in-depth knowledge of
history, details, and nuances associated with each resource—essential to
unbiased, expert NANP administration.


 


TRD Section 3
lists categories of NANP numbering resources and describes NANPA’s responsibilities
as they relate to the administration of each category.  Successful execution of these responsibilities
requires knowledge of the rules and regulations, understanding the needs
and motivations of each and every stakeholder, knowledge of availability and
depletion rate of each category of numbering resource, historical instances
applicable to new requests, and strong instincts regarding subtle points that
collectively go into making an appropriate and clearly unbiased decision. A few
examples of the subtleties follow:


 


•                  Many precedents in number administration are not documented, but the
administrator must have knowledge of such precedents; e.g., the practice of
making “temporary assignments” in cases of advertising misprints.


 


•                  NeuStar, as NANPA, has served in the past and will continue to serve as
the “institutional memory” for numbering, using that knowledge to advise
regulatory authorities, assist the industry, and inform the general
public.  NeuStar has taken care to
preserve this heritage and will continue to do so as the next term NANPA.


 


•                  The 19 countries that participate in the NANP must share its resources
equitably, otherwise, diplomatic issues can arise.  For example, the U.S. territory of American
Samoa applied to join the NANP and receive an area code.  In reaction, the Canadian Radio-television
and Telecommunications Commission expressed deep concerns about the life of the
NANP and the continuing availability of numbering resources because of the
large number of area codes assigned to the United States in recent years.   As NANPA, NeuStar made the FCC aware of the
Canadian viewpoint, and offered assistance to the FCC in finding a solution
that satisfies all


 





















 


parties.  The resulting FCC decision, which assigned
only ten central office codes in the 684 NPA to American Samoa, was an
effective and delicate way to resolve the issue.


 


•                  NANPA administers eleven 800-NXX codes set aside for use in Bermuda and
Caribbean countries (not specifically addressed in the TRD) that elected not to
participate in the toll free database. Should these countries require
additional blocks, it will be NANPA’s responsibility to obtain and administer
them.


 


A
quick reading of TRD Section 3 might lead a company to propose automating
the administration of some resources such as carrier identification codes or
500-NXX codes, even eliminating human involvement in assignments.  Trying to administer these and other NANP resources
without involving expert experience and judgment would be a major error.  NeuStar has learned that experience and
judgment are necessary ingredients for successful NANP administration. Table
I-16 summarizes key points about each of the NANP resources.  Approximate, annual application volumes in
the chart below are based on historical, not forecasted, data.

II.2                              Key Personnel (RFP L.5, M.2.B.2, H.5, H.7)


 


NeuStar’s key personnel are experienced, in place, and
focused on ensuring a successful, low-risk implementation of the new NANP
Administration System and effective ongoing provisioning of NANP functions for
the FCC and the industry.


 


NeuStar’s
key operational personnel possess a combined 136 years of experience in the
telecommunications field.  Our technical
staff has the requisite expertise in developing state-of-the-art, feature-rich
systems—having successfully created and deployed the national Pooling
Administration System. All of NeuStar’s NANPA personnel have been entrenched in
the day-to-day operations of NANPA for several years.  Additionally, the executives, directors, and
managers within NeuStar have extensive telecommunications system development,
management, and operations experience.


 


NeuStar
considers the people identified below as key personnel for this endeavor. They
have complementary skill sets that enable them to work together productively
for the betterment of the team and also allow them to provide backup for each

II.3                              Management
Organization (RFP L.5, M.2.B.3)


 


Created to serve, shaped by experience, and further optimized
for this solicitation, NeuStar’s NANPA organization combines logical functional
structure, unassailable neutrality, and corporate commitment to ensure the FCC’s
program objectives are met.


 


In the
past five years, NeuStar has developed and honed its management organization to
meet the day-to-day administration needs of the NANPA, and also to address the
challenges presented by an unprecedented explosion of competition in the
telecommunications field, the emergence of new technologies, and the
authorization by the FCC of numerous numbering resource optimization
measures.  This well-developed NeuStar
management organization and team is now in place—poised to deliver numbering
management and administration services to the FCC for the next five years.  Further, NeuStar’s corporate and executive
commitment to neutrality and the long-term success of NANP is unwavering.


 





















 


II.3.1                    NANPA Functional Organization


 


NeuStar’s streamlined NANPA organization has strategic
redundancies and is staffed with subject matter experts to deliver on all NANPA
requirements.


 


A
successful NANPA organization requires dedicated, experienced individuals who understand
the workings of number administration and appreciate the essential
relationships between NANPA, the FCC, state regulatory personnel, and the
industry.  In addition, the maintenance
of neutrality must be paramount within the organization.  NeuStar’s NANPA team is managed by
professionals and is already staffed to successfully accomplish all tasks
identified in the solicitation. Our key personnel already are dedicated to
NANPA and all individuals required for implementation and operation of the new
NANPA term have been named to ensure a low-risk, high quality deployment.


 


NeuStar’s
direct experience in staffing requirements necessary to meet the responsibilities
of the NANPA enables it to ascertain the resource requirements and the
functional structure required to effectively administer the NANP. NeuStar has
proposed modifications to its current NANPA operations team to meet the
forecasted challenges of the next five years with experienced staff that can
fulfill multiple roles or provide back up capabilities whenever an unexpected
need arises.  The operations team is
fully staffed and organized into six primary groups, each focused on a
different area of NANPA and each requiring different skill sets. As shown in Exhibit II-1,
NeuStar has identified each portion of its functional organization and reporting
structure during implementation and ongoing operations.  Further, the chart notes, by color and/or
symbol, which personnel are key and which personnel are “implementation”
only.  In addition, as required, NeuStar
has provided, (Table II-2) job descriptions at the end of this subsection.  The job descriptions, which correspond to the
organization chart, detail the responsibilities and minimum qualifications of
each position.

II.3.2                    How NANPA Fits in with
Overall Corporate Goals (RFP L.5, M.2.B.3)


 


NeuStar’s overall corporate goals embody the mission of
NANPA—the optimization and responsible, effective, and neutral administration
of a critical national resource.


 


The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 required that the FCC “create or designate one
or more impartial entities to administer telecommunications numbering and to
make such numbers available on an equitable basis.” This requirement, which
ultimately led to FCC selection of the entity that is now NeuStar as the NANPA,
was driven by Congress’ recognition that, in order for competition to flourish,
a neutral, independent and highly responsible entity must be charged with the
unbiased administration of critical shared numbering resources.


 


NeuStar’s
mission is to provide the FCC, state regulatory agencies, and the telecommunications
industry with high-quality, neutral, best-value services to facilitate
competition and ensure fair and unbiased administration of important shared
resources. Thus, the FCC’s core requirements for a successful NANPA form the
very foundation of NeuStar’s corporate mission.


 


If
selected to serve again, the NANPA contract will not be buried within a
multi-billion dollar corporation or shunted off to a small division of a
company.  Rather, NeuStar’s executive
management and its Board of Directors pay close attention to the NANPA contract
and consider the strict neutrality requirements not as a burden, but as
defining who NeuStar is and why NeuStar, as a neutral third party, will
continue to be successful. 
[* * *]


 





















 


II.3.3                    How NeuStar will Guarantee
Neutrality (RFP L.5, M.2.B.3, H.8.B.3)


 


NeuStar’s commitment to neutrality is unwavering—evidenced by
a comprehensive, corporate-wide neutrality program and a consistent record of
passing all quarterly neutrality audits.


 


[* * *]


 


NeuStar
has in place a comprehensive, corporate-wide neutrality program designed to ensure
compliance with the stringent neutrality requirements set forth in its NANPA,
NPAC, Pooling, and Registry contracts. 
[* * *]


 


Based
upon its neutrality Code of Conduct, NeuStar has established a comprehensive
set of procedures to ensure compliance by all employees.  [* * *]Highlights of NeuStar’s
neutrality program include:


 


•                  Designation of a full-time corporate Neutrality Officer to oversee
neutrality procedures and mechanisms, provide day-to-day guidance on neutrality
matters, and act as a liaison with the FCC on matters related to neutrality;


 


•                  Each NeuStar employee must participate in formal neutrality training
when hired; undergo annual neutrality training to update and refresh his/her
understanding of the neutrality requirements; complete a test on the neutrality
requirements; sign a quarterly certification asserting his/her compliance with
the Code of Conduct; and certify quarterly that he/she does not own 5% or more
interest in a telecommunications service provider.  Further, NeuStar has incorporated adherence
to the neutrality program procedures into employee evaluation and compensation
programs;


 


•                  NeuStar’s adherence to its Code of Conduct is audited on a quarterly basis
by an independent third-party auditor agreed to by the FCC;


 


•                  Quarterly audit reports are reviewed by NeuStar’s Board of Directors to
ensure corporate-wide compliance and are furnished to the FCC, NANC, and the
NAPM, LLC; and


 


•                  The FCC reviews the neutrality reports and conducts an examination of
the auditor’s working papers for these quarterly audits.


 


[* * *]
NeuStar ensures that such review is accomplished in accordance with the
following processes:


 





















 


•                  Requiring managers to submit operational plans and programs, such as
the deployment of new services, for a compliance review.


 


•                  Conducting compliance reviews through a dedicated staff with
significant experience in neutrality and other regulatory requirements and
reporting on those findings.


 


•                  Maintaining constant communication with the FCC, state regulatory
agencies, NANC members, and other clients, as well as industry participants
regarding proposed activities and compliance issues.

II.4                              Communication Approach
and Escalation Procedures for Establishing and
Maintaining Interfaces (RFP L.5, M.2.B.4,
TRD 2.17)


 


 NeuStar has
continually improved and refined its established NANPA interfaces from the user’s
point of view, revising processes based upon customer feedback surveys, and
providing formal communication and neutrality training for all of NeuStar’s
employees.


 


Through
its experience as NANPA, NeuStar has developed proven communications systems
that are vital to the successful operations of NANPA as well as the
implementation of new procedures. 
NeuStar’s formal communications approaches include two quarterly
newsletters (The State Scene and The NANPA Numbering News) that are
distributed to state regulatory personnel and industry members; bimonthly
conference calls with state regulatory personnel involved in numbering; the
NANPA website; and email notifications via the NeuStar DDS, which are sent to
interested parties including the FCC staff, NANC members, industry members, and
state regulatory personnel.  NeuStar’s
website and e-mails also contain names and telephone numbers for NeuStar
personnel that can address additional questions regarding specific subject
matter, such as NPA relief, CO Code Administration, and NRUF.


 


This
web of communications procedures is not only used in the day-to-day operations
of NANPA, but also to ensure the smooth implementation of new processes.  An important example is NeuStar’s diligence
in helping service providers transition quickly and effectively from COCUS
reporting to NRUF reporting. 
Notifications of important changes were distributed in e-mails, posted
on NANPA’s website, and contact persons at NeuStar were available to address
specific questions from service providers and state regulatory agencies.  NeuStar also reviewed NRUF reporting forms


 





















 


for errors and then called individual service providers to instruct
them on how to correct any insufficiencies, thereby drastically decreasing the
error rate quickly.


 


Ensuring
a smooth implementation


 


NeuStar will ensure a smooth transition to the next NANPA
term by using the same established and effective tools to communicate changes
that will occur when NeuStar implements the requirements set forth in this
solicitation.


 


All
required parties will be quickly and effectively notified of the upcoming
changes to the website, new NANP Administration System, or NANP functions via “implementation
focused and dedicated” state calls, newsletters, e-mails, and presentations to
industry groups.  Further, the NeuStar help desk will
be available, when necessary, to answer individual questions and concerns, and
provide step-by-step guidance.  NeuStar
will provide regular status updates to the NANC.  Such attention to early notification,
delivery of information over all communication vehicles, and individual
guidance will ensure the smooth and efficient implementation of the new
requirements. NeuStar will continue to provide training for all NANPA staff on
neutrality, customer service, regulatory and industry guidelines changes, and
communications skills to ensure continued effective communications.


 


Effective
and appropriate interfaces ongoing


 


NeuStar will continue to use and further enhance its proven
communications approaches throughout the next NANPA term to effectively and
appropriately interface with the FCC, state regulatory agencies, pooling
administrator, LERG, NPAC, various service providers, the media, and the
public.


 


As
detailed in Table II-3 below, NeuStar will ensure that all primary NANPA
interfaces are effective and in compliance with the requirements set forth TRD
Sections 2.17.1 through 2.17.8.  In
addition, NeuStar will interface with the MBI Administrator as required in TRD Section 2.18
to provide information on the resources available as assignable MBIs.  Further, NeuStar has added a very important
interface—the general public.

Escalation
procedures


 


NeuStar has developed a powerful, effective set of problem
resolution and escalation procedures to ensure that problems are quickly and
effectively resolved to the satisfaction of its clients.


 


NeuStar
has established escalation procedures based upon two categories of issues.  First, a NANPA service issue involving the
performance of NANPA duties under the contract. 
For example, an applicant may believe that an application has been
incorrectly denied.  Second, an issue
involving the availability or operation of the NAS or the NANPA website.  Escalation of NAS issues is discussed in
Proposal Section I.1.6.2, Help Desk.


 


NANP service issue escalation—Whenever any user or NANPA employee determines that a
service problem exists, the service problem will be assigned a severity level
according to the definitions in Table II-4.

some cases, escalation may not be enough to resolve a problem.  Therefore, NeuStar developed on its own
initiative, a formal complaint process to deal with issues that could not be
resolved satisfactorily through escalation procedures.  To invoke this process, the originator
submits a formal complaint through the NANPA website by clicking on the “submit
a formal complaint” link on the home page. 
The complaint goes to the NANPA Director and designated representatives
of the NANC, who then monitor resolution of the complaint.  NeuStar provides status updates to NANC as
necessary.  NANPA will forward formal
complaints, if any, to the FCC contracting officer and COTR, if and when
complaints are received.  Five years ago,
NANC developed another


 





















 


escalation process, called the “Dispute Resolution Process.”  NeuStar’s NANPA internal escalation process
and the formal complaint process described above have been so successful that
the Dispute Resolution Process (TRD 2.12) has never been required.

RE:          Solicitation
No.: SOL03000001


North
American Number Plan Administrator


 


Dear Mr. Oakey:


 


Please find attached the
original and five (5) copies of NeuStar, Inc.’s Cost Volume, Volume
2, in response to the above-referenced solicitation.  Accompanying this Cover Letter are: 1) signed
Standard Forms 33 and 1411; 2) completed Representations and Certifications; 3)
and the required Neutrality Certifications.


 


The attached Cost Volume is submitted in full
compliance with the above-referenced solicitation and we certify that our
proposal has been prepared consistent with the terms and condition of the
solicitation, including a Table of Contents and sections to provide
comprehensive narrative support of our Firm Fixed Price.  Section 1.0 is a Solution Overview,
describing NeuStar’s “best value” NANPA offering, which provides the Commission
and the industry with the highest quality and lowest risk solution, delivered
by a vendor with unmatched experience and unassailable neutrality.


 


Underlying price assumptions and descriptive
cost rationale are included in Section 2.0, Basis of Estimate.  Section 3.0 provides a detailed cost
breakdown.  And, cost backup is submitted
under Section 4.0.


 


We are certain you will
find our costs and, thus, our price realistic, which is paramount in a Firm
Fixed Price contract.  Our extensive
experience in numbering administration, coupled with our five plus years as the
NANPA, gives us the ability to accurately estimate the activities, manpower,
and other direct costs over the five year period of this procurement.


 


[* * *]


 


With the aforementioned
cost contribution and price reduction, the total Firm Fixed Price for the
anticipated five-year contract is $5,686,487.


 


[* * *]


NeuStar understands the
fundamentals of submitting a firm fixed price. 
NeuStar has successfully operated as the incumbent NANPA under the same
arrangement.  NeuStar is committed to
providing the necessary staffing levels to continue to deliver outstanding
service.


 


All information contained
in this price proposal is Company Confidential and may be used by the recipient
only for the purpose intended, i.e., to evaluate the price and cost realism of
NeuStar’s proposal in response to FCC Solicitation SOL03000001, on a need to
know basis.


 





















 


NeuStar’s cognizant audit
office is [* * *] NeuStar is not under the cognizance of any
ACO.  All copies of this proposal are
forwarded to the FCC.  If so advised by the
contracting officer, NeuStar will forward a copy of the proposal to its
cognizant DCAA office.


 


We look forward to bringing our unsurpassed
NANPA experience, our cost efficiency, and our state-of-the-art NANP
Administration System solution to bear in the role of the NANPA into the next
term.  Should you have any questions, or
need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[* * *].  I am NeuStar’s
authorized negotiator for this proposal, and am further authorized to bind the
Corporation to any contract resulting herefrom.


 


Very truly yours,


NeuStar, Inc.

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, that—


 


(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals—


 


(A) Are o are
not ý presently debarred, suspended, proposed
for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal
agency;


 





















 


(B) Have o have
not ý, within a three-year period preceding this
offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for:
commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining,

contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes
relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft,
forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false
statements, tax evasion, or receiving stolen property; and


 


(C) Are o are
not ý presently indicted for, or otherwise
criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any
of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.


 


(ii) The Offeror has o has
not ý, within a three-year period preceding this
offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.


 


(2) “Principals,” for the purposes of this certification, means
officers, directors, owners, partners, and persons having primary management or
supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager,
plant manager, head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment, and similar
positions).


 


THIS CERTIFICATION CONCERNS A MATTER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF AN
AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE MAKING OF A FALSE, FICTITIOUS, OR
FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATION MAY RENDER THE MAKER SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION UNDER
SECTION 1001, TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.





(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the
Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns
that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by
reason of changed circumstances.


 


(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of
this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award
under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in
connection with a determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the
Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as
requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror non-responsive.


 


(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to
require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith,
the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The
knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is
normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business
dealings.


 


(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a
material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making
award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the
Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from
this solicitation for default.

  MAY 1999

  



 


(a) This solicitation sets forth the work to be performed if a
contract award results, and the Government’s known delivery requirements for
data (as defined in FAR 27.401). Any resulting contract may also provide the
Government the option to order additional data under the Additional Data
Requirements clause at 52.227-16 of the FAR, if included in the contract. Any
data delivered under the resulting contract will be subject to the Rights in
Data-General clause at 52.227-14 that is to be included in this contract. Under
the latter clause, a Contractor may withhold from delivery data that qualify as
limited rights data or restricted computer software, and deliver form, fit, and
function data in lieu thereof. The latter clause also may be used with its
Alternates II and/or III to obtain delivery of 
limited rights data or restricted computer software, marked with limited
rights or restricted rights notices, as appropriate. In addition, use of
Alternate V with this latter clause provides the Government the right to
inspect such data at the Contractor’s facility.


 


(b) As an aid in determining the Government’s need to include
Alternate II or Alternate III in the clause at 52.227-14, Rights in
Data-General, the offeror shall complete paragraph (c) of this provision
to either state that none of the data qualify as limited rights data or
restricted computer software, or identify, to the extent feasible, which of the
data qualifies as limited rights data or restricted computer software. Any
identification of limited rights data or restricted computer software in the
offeror’s response is not determinative of the status of such data should a
contract be awarded to the offeror.


 


(c) The offeror has reviewed the requirements for the delivery of
data or software and states [offeror check appropriate block] -


 


ý
None of the data proposed for fulfilling such requirements qualifies as limited
rights data or restricted computer software.


 


o
Data proposed for fulfilling such requirements qualify as limited rights data
or restricted computer software and are identified as follows:

2.0                               BASIS
OF ESTIMATE (L.5, M.2.C)


 


This section contains NeuStar’s basis of
estimating the costs used in its firm-fixed price for the NANPA contract.  Proposal Section 2.1 contains CLIN
definitions as well as describes the structure of the Cost Breakdown provided
in Proposal Section 3.0.  Proposal Section 2.2
identifies the assumptions used to estimate:


 


•                  Labor;


 


•                  NANP
Administration System (NAS) hardware and software and other equipment;


 


•                  Facilities and
furnishings;


 


•                  Travel; and


 


•                  Other direct
costs.


 


Proposal Section 2.3 describes NeuStar’s
rates, including: labor rates, labor burden rate, and G&A rate.  This section also provides the annual
escalation factors/rates for labor, air travel, and other direct costs,
including the sources used to determine each. 
And, finally, Proposal Section 2.4 details NeuStar’s price
reduction as a result of its unique position as the incumbent NANP
Administrator.


 


2.1                               Definitions
and Nomenclature (L.5, M.2.C.1)


 


Below is information that will assist the
evaluator in reviewing NeuStar’s price proposal:


 


•                  Contract Line
Item Numbers (CLINs) — described in Section 2.1.1.


 


•                  The
price model used to develop, roll-up, and present the price for this contract
is included in Section 3.0; however, the model is briefly outlined in Section 2.1.2
below.  The price model includes a
detailed cost breakdown to allow the evaluator to ascertain labor costs and
hours, cost build up, indirect costs, other direct costs (ODCs), escalation
rates, and profit for the total contract.


 


2.1.1                     CLIN
Nomenclature


 


The following table (Table 2-1) identifies
the CLINs defined in the solicitation. 
NeuStar, in its Price Proposal uses the same CLINs as required.  NeuStar has not deviated from the
solicitation’s Cost Volume requirements.

2.1.2                     Price Model
Definition


 


Pricing for this proposal, located at Section 3.0
herein, is organized into six sub-sections which are as follows:


 


•                  Section 3.1
— Total price of the contract as provided on SF 1411 and summarized in a Total
Pricing Summary


 





















 


•                  Section 3.2
— CLIN pricing summary


 


•                  Section 3.3

In addition, NeuStar developed it firm fixed
price proposal using the following assumptions:


 


[* * *] The escalation, labor burden, and
G&A rates are further described below in Section 2.3.

(L.5, M.2.C.1, M.2.C.2)


 


2.2.1                     Labor
Hours


 


Labor, by far, is the great cost contributor
in NeuStar’s price.  As such, it is
important to understand the composition NANPA’s proposed work force.  For convenience, NeuStar has grouped
individual staff positions into labor categories.  The mapping of NANPA positions/titles to
labor categories is shown in the following table (Table 2-2):

Next, NeuStar has determined the proposed
total labor hours for each labor category, by year, and by CLIN.  These total labor hours are shown in a NANPA
Manpower Loading Table (Table 2-3), which is located on the following pages.


 


The remainder of this section (Section 2.2.1,
Labor Hours) describes, in detail, how NeuStar arrived at the staffing levels
for each NANPA group, underlying labor categories, or NANPA positions.

System Development Staffing


 


NeuStar, by virtue of its experience in
developing and deploying telecommunications software products, e.g., National
Thousands Block Pooling Administration System, NPAC, State Pooling, etc., in
maintaining those systems, and by proposing the inclusion of certain
NeuStar-developed software modules as building blocks, estimates that the
following system development team is required to perform the contract:


 


The system development team is organized
under the Program Manager, NANP Administration System (NAS), who has extensive
experience in successfully leading software development teams that must perform
within time constraints and under fixed budgets.  The Program Manager is assigned full time
responsibility for this contract and is responsible for the software























 


development and system integration for delivering the NAS to the
Commission. He reports to the Director of NANPA.


 


[* * *]


 


The dedication of a Senior QA Engineer will ensure
compliance with all performance and design specifications.  The Senior QA Engineer will report directly
to the Program Manager, NAS.  This full
time quality assurance professional will develop the quality assurance plan,
the systems test plan, and all other directives to the development team to
ensure compliance with the Commission’s requirements.  This close relationship between the program
manager, the developers and quality assurance is key to the successful and
timely deployment of the NAS.


 


Operations Staffing


 


In order to be compliant with the Commission’s
requirement to be ready for implementation of the North American Number Plan
Administrator Program immediately upon the Commission’s acceptance of the NAS,
NeuStar is proposing a team of operational professionals. This team will
facilitate the migration and transition of the current NANPA.


 


The contract’s program manager, under the
title of NANPA Director, will be dedicated to the program upon contract award,
working [* * *].  He will manage all
aspects of the contract, including the timely and compliant delivery of the NAS
and the transition of the operational staff for full operational capability
upon system acceptance.  Thereafter, he
will manage the ongoing implementation and operation of the NANPA on a
full-time basis.


 


Upon contract award, the Database
Administrator will come on board full-time. 
This individual will begin familiarization of the system hardware and
purchased software for the trouble-free operation of the Oracle database.  The system and database redundancy designed
into NeuStar’s system requires the Database Administrator to be conversant with
all aspects of seamless remote facility operation.


 


As of the beginning of the eighth month of
the contract, the entire proposed operations staff will be on board, trained,
and ready for NAS implementation and administration.

Staffing for NPA Relief Planning


 


[* * *] From this, NeuStar has concluded that
two experienced NPA relief planners are needed to perform the U.S. relief
planning activities required during the contract period.  The projected relief planning workload
includes new NPA relief plans that will be initiated over the term of the
contract, management of existing relief projects pending before state
regulators, facilitation of jeopardy meetings, industry meetings to address the
need to withdraw filed NPA relief plans where no state regulatory action has
taken place, and facilitation of meetings to address unavailable central office
codes.  Each NPA relief planner will be
responsible for a specific geographic territory (East and West).  One of the relief planners will be based in
California to allow efficient and cost effective handling of the many
anticipated relief activities in that state.

In addition to new relief projects, there are
ongoing relief projects that NANPA will be responsible for managing until
completion.  There are presently 47
projects in which a state decision is pending or the industry has yet to
determine when the relief petition will be submitted to the state regulators.  These are shown in Table 2-5.  Although NANPA has completed a significant
portion of the relief planning work for these area codes, many other important
tasks remain to be accomplished once a relief decision has been made including:


 


•                  Requesting
the assignment of a new NPA relief code;


 


•                  Issuing
a press release announcing the details of the new NPA code;


 


•                  Scheduling
and conducting the initial implementation meeting;


 


•                  Publishing
a planning letter on the web;


 


•                  Responding
to requests for information from the industry, regulators, and the public;


 


•                  Announcing
changes to the relief plan ordered by a state regulator, e.g., modifications to
implementation dates, publishing updated planning letters; and


 


•                  If
necessary, declaring jeopardy and conducting jeopardy meetings to determine a
future reduced allocation of codes.


 





















 


In addition, because several years may have
passed since initial relief planning was conducted, and circumstances may have
change significantly, state regulators may request NANPA to refresh the record
by updating the alternatives proposed. 
For example, NeuStar recently updated the relief alternatives for
Wisconsin’s 715 NPA at the request of the Wisconsin commission.

There are 21 relief projects in which relief
planning has been suspended by state regulators.  These are shown in Table 2-6.  NeuStar has completed all of its activities,
but the relief projected has not yet been implemented due to changes in the
projected NPA exhaust date or action taken by the state.  NANPA may be directed to refresh the record
for these projects as a significant amount of time has passed since the relief
plan was filed with the state.  For
example, NeuStar recently updated the relief alternatives associated with
California’s 909 NPA, updating a relief plan originally filed in December 1998.  NeuStar knows that California will continue
to request updates to filed relief plans twelve months prior to the projected
exhaust date.

There are 19 completed NPA relief projects in
which NANPA is responsible for monitoring the quantity of central office code
assignments and determining when relief plans approved by the state regulators
need to be implemented “just in time” to prevent exhaust.  These completed NPA relief projects are shown
in Table 2-7.

NeuStar’s estimate of the number of relief
planners is based upon the predicted number of new NPA relief projects, the
management of pending relief plans, and other ongoing activities that NPA
relief planners are involved.


 


[* * *]


 


It is important to stress that the estimates
above require highly experienced relief planners.  Successful relief planning requires technical
depth, facilitation skills, and broad knowledge of telecommunications that
comes only with extensive experience. 
NeuStar’s relief planners have been seasoned during the most demanding
times in numbering history.  Therefore,
two highly experienced NPA relief planners with intimate knowledge of current
activities and detailed understanding of the intricacies of the relief planning
process can effectively manage all relief planning requirements over the
contract term.


 


Experience has shown, however, that there may
be brief periods of time in which additional resources are required.  To provide for this contingency, NeuStar’s
proposal includes other key personnel with substantial relief planning
experience.  For example, our Senior
Manager, Data Analysis served as an NPA relief planner for three years,
conducting or overseeing more than 20 relief projects.  In addition, the Regional Director, Code
Administration also served as an NPA relief planner for two years prior to
assuming her current position and was involved with nearly 40 relief projects.  The availability of these experienced
individuals helps to ensure that NeuStar can continue to meet required
performance measures despite variations in the workload.


 





















 


Staffing for Code Administration


 


NeuStar has extensive experience in processing
central office code applications.  During
its tenure as NANPA, NeuStar processed more than 150,000 central office
requests, including requests for the assignment, return, reservation, and
change of codes.  Further, NeuStar
understands that code administration includes not only the processing of code
applications but also ongoing customer service to assist applicants in
understanding and completing the application process.  Using this knowledge, NeuStar used a comprehensive
approach to determine staffing requirements for the contract period.  First, NeuStar estimated the volume of
central office code requests over the contract term and identified those
applications to be processed by the system with no human intervention to
determine the number of central office code administration staff required.

The FCC can be confident that NeuStar, as
demonstrated during its term as the NANPA, will obtain additional resources if
central office code volumes are significantly higher than our projections.  Many of our proposed NANPA staff are
experienced in code processing.  Our help
desk


 





















 


staff, who is a highly experienced code administrator, will be
available to process applications in those times when volumes spike.  In addition, our Senior AOCN Administrator is
a former code administrator and therefore trained in this process.  Finally, other members of our staff will be
cross-trained in code administration so that they may step in and provide
assistance if necessary.


 


Data Analysis and Industry Liaison


 


NeuStar’s Data Analysis and Industry Liaison
Group fulfills the data reporting and analysis requirements of the
contract.  This group is comprised of a
Senior Manager, Data Analysis, an NRUF Manager and Industry Liaison, and a Sr.
NRUF Administrator.  These three people
are necessary to meet the Commission’s requirements throughout the duration of
the contract.


 


The Senior Manager, Data Analysis oversees
the production of data reports and analysis. 
He will develop the semi-annual NPA and NANPA exhaust projections and,
based upon data gathered via the NRUF process and code assignment information,
change these projections as necessary. 
Additionally, he will perform the analysis necessary to generate the
numerous NRUF reports required by the Commission.  He will produce ad hoc reports requested by
NANPA staff and federal and state regulatory agencies in support of their
numbering oversight efforts.  Finally, he
will supervise and ultimately be responsible for the activities of the Manager,
NRUF and Industry Liaison and Sr. NRUF Administrator.


 


The NRUF Manager and Industry Liaison will
directly manage the NRUF reporting process. 
She will notify service providers of the requirement to submit
utilization and forecast data semi-annually. 
She will oversee the collection, storage and analysis of service
provider-specific data, ensuring that the NRUF reporting requirements are
implemented in accordance with the FCC orders and directives.  Additionally, she will be responsible for
updating and maintaining the NRUF job aid, and implement our training and
education initiatives on the NRUF reporting process for service providers and
state regulatory agencies.  Additionally,
she will serve as NANPA’s representative to the Industry Numbering Committee
(INC) and provide direct input to the INC about the day-to-day operations of
the administrator.  In this role, she
will report directly the NANPA Program Director.  She will also supervise the Sr. NRUF
Administrator..


 


The Sr. NRUF Administrator will work directly
with service providers in the NRUF reporting process.  She will be responsible for analyzing service
provider submissions, identifying any errors or anomalies, and communicating
these finding to service providers so that they may be corrected.  She will also provide assistance to service
providers in completing and submitting the


 





















 


Form 502.  Past experience
with NRUF processing clearly shows the need to dedicate one full-time person to
this process.


 


Manager, NANP Resources


 


The Manager, NANP Resources will be
responsible for the assignment and administration of the Feature Group B CICs;
Feature Group D CICs; 456-, 500-, and 900-NXX resources;  800-855 and 555 line numbers; VSCs; and ANI
II digits.  In this position, she will
process applications for these resources, follow-up with applicants to ensure
they meet assignment criteria, which is quite often due to the nature of these
resources.  She will also analyze Feature
Group B and Feature Group D Access and Usage reports to identify CIC resources
that are subject to reclamation.  She
will perform any tasks required to ensure that the phase-out of non-dialable
toll points has been completed.  Finally,
she will investigate, where necessary, the use of these resources in order to
ensure conformance with FCC directives and industry guidelines.


 


Customer Service Representative (Help Desk)


 


The Customer Service Representative will be
responsible for general customer service and Help Desk related items:  general troubleshooting, handling questions
on user login/passwords, general client assistance, logging trouble tickets,
and managing the customer satisfaction efforts.


 


Senior Code Administrator — Quality Assurance


 


The Senior Code Administrator — Quality
Assurance will be responsible for training code administrators, developing
methods and procedures for code administration, working with and providing
information for auditors, providing client feedback, collecting and
interpreting performance metrics, including quality improvement, and developing
and presenting internal training.


 


Senior AOCN Administrator


 


The Senior AOCN Administrator will manage the
Administrator Operating Company Number (AOCN) Enterprise Service by entering
rating and routing data into BIRRDS upon request from code applicants.  This includes reviewing the submitted information,
assisting with the preparation of the information and the actual inputting of
the data in the associated databases. 
From a cost perspective, this position is not included in the NANPA
staffing requirements since revenues from this service are used to offset the
direct costs associated with this function.


 





















 


NANP Administration System Staff


 


To maintain the NANP Administration System
(NAS), NeuStar has assigned a dedicated technical staff to the contract to
ensure system availability and integrity. 
This staff includes the Program Manager, two Senior Systems Engineers
and a Database Administrator.  The
Program Manager will be responsible of the overall maintenance of the NAS
hardware and software.  In addition, this
position will work directly with the Senior Systems Engineers, which are
responsible for software development, and the Customer Service Representative
to address issues concerning the access and use of the NAS.  The Database Administrator will be
responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the data contained in the
NAS.  In addition to the full time staff,
NeuStar will provide support from its General & Administrative-funded
Information Technology organization throughout the duration of the contract:
Systems Administrator ([* * *]); Security Engineer ([* * *]); Network Engineer
([* * *]); and Web Master ([* * *]).  The
estimated time in support of the NANPA by these G&A-funded resources is not
delimiting.  The assigned personnel will
support the program to the extent necessary for compliant operations no matter
the level of effort required.


 


External Relations Group and Quality
Assurance


 


The External Relations Group and Corporate
Software Quality Assurance provides regulatory, legal, and compliance
support.  This group is comprised of a
Director, Federal Relations; Director, State Relations; Director, Legal
Analysis; and Director, Software Quality Assurance.  Since these functions do not require
dedicated, full-time staff, these resources will come from NeuStar Corporate
resources and are included in NeuStar’s G&A rate.


 


The Director, Federal Relations will liaise
with the Commission on NANPA and numbering related issues.  This position will review regulatory orders
and directives, respond to them as necessary and provide ongoing communications
with the Commission, to include coordinating quarterly meetings between NeuStar
and FCC staff to discuss numbering and other relevant topics.  The Director, State Relations, will perform a
similar role from a state perspective. 
This position will interface with state regulatory agencies and
facilitate communications between NANPA and the states by coordinating
bi-monthly meetings to discuss NANPA and numbering-relating matters.  The Director, Legal Analysis is responsible
for performing or overseeing all legal activities of NANPA.  Included in the role is performing necessary
legal research, working with NANPA staff to prepare any testimony and filings
involving NANPA, including NPA relief planning, before state and federal
regulatory agencies and the courts.  The
Director, Software Quality Assurance will, through direct


 





















 


oversight, ensure that all quality assurance requirements of the
company and the customer are strictly adhered to in the performance of the
system development, implementation and operation of the NAS.


 


2.2.2                     Materials -
System Hardware


 


[* * *]


 


NeuStar’s NAS Production Environment provides
a fully redundant NAS, offering both a primary site, located in [* * *], as
well as a fully functional backup site in [* * *].  This architecture will allow NeuStar to
satisfy the availability requirements outlined in the requirements, given the
ability to switchover during any prolonged Primary site outage, and run the NAS
indefinitely, and in a fully functional manner, from the backup site in
Charlotte.  This switchover is made possible
by the fact that a complete and up-to-date database will be kept at the backup
site.  This will be made possible using
advanced database replication capability. 
Since the backup site facility is shared between Development, Testing
and Production backup, any development and/or testing taking place at the
backup site would cease until the Primary site is made operational again.


 


NeuStar’s hardware configuration provides
ample capability to meet the needs of NeuStar’s developers.  The hardware, listed below, is capable of
supporting all of the selected software development tools to be used in
building the NAS.  The Production Backup
System will also be used as the Development Environment hardware as well as the
Test Environment hardware, ensuring that full use is made of the
equipment.  The major components of each
system, per site, include:


 


[* * *]


 


The basis of estimate for the system hardware
is actual quotes.  Although the
contemplated contract is fixed price, GSA pricing was obtained for NAS hardware
and software, as title to it will be vested in the FCC.  In the event that GSA pricing is not
authorized for system components under the contract, NeuStar will assume the
risk that it can negotiate comparable pricing on a commercial basis, leveraging
volume purchasing power.  A comparison of
the GSA prices to commercial quotes for the same hardware was made, and the
lower price quote was included in the price build-up.  GSA pricing is, by definition, considered to
be fair and reasonable.  For commercial
items for which there is no comparable GSA price, the published price list
price, or a discount there from, is considered to be fair and reasonable.


 





















 


Other Equipment


 


Equipment in this category includes desk top
for code administrators and laptop computers for other professional staff,
wireless telephones, and other office equipment.  All NANPA employees will commence the
contract with their current computer, with anticipated replacement one-time
during the contract in year three. 
Wireless telephones and other office equipment will be replaced in
accordance with NeuStar’s corporate replacement policies for such incidental
equipment from the G&A pool.


 


The basis of estimate for this equipment is
the quoted market prices published by the manufacturer, and are considered fair
and reasonable.  If no quote was
available from the manufacturer, then NeuStar used the published prices from
national chain discount stores such as Office Depot, Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. as
the basis of estimate, all of which are considered to be fair and reasonable
prices.

2.3                               RATES


 


The rationale and explanation of NeuStar’s
rates for labor, labor burden, G&A, and escalation, included in the pricing
model, appear below.


 


NeuStar’s Burden and G&A rates, reviewed
by DCAA, without questioned or disallowed costs, are used in Neustar’s cost
reimbursement contract.  NeuStar’s cost
accounting system, based on Soloman accounting system software, collects and
allocates costs in a manner acceptable for government cost type contracts and
uses generally accepted accounting procedures. 
NeuStar welcomes any review of its accounting system and proposed rates
to validate its estimated costs.


 


Labor Rates


 


In September 2000, NeuStar employed the
services of Watson Wyatt Worldwide to conduct a review of salary levels of
different positions in NeuStar.  Using
position descriptions and data gathered during job analysis meetings as well as
market data from surveys gathered from various company types (e.g., national,
telecommunications industry, high technology, revenue of approximately [* *
*]), Watson Wyatt developed appropriate minimum and maximum salary ranges for
over [* * *] NeuStar positions.  This
assessment was used as input in determining appropriate labor rates for NeuStar
salaried employees, including the software development team and the NANP
Administration staff.  A follow-up review
of NeuStar labor categories and salaries by Watson Wyatt Worldwide is scheduled
for mid-2003.  We expect that NeuStar’s
is paying “market” rates for its human capital.


 


Labor Burden Allocation Rate:


 


The NeuStar Labor Burden rate is [* * *] of
base salary.  This rate is calculated by
allocating all of the below-listed expenses over the wages paid to employees.


 


Labor Burden captures all costs associated
with an individual’s employment beyond their base salary (all NeuStar employees
are offered the same benefits packages). The expenses include,


 





















 


but are not limited to FICA, unemployment benefits, health, dental, eye
and life insurance, short-term disability, vacation and holidays, and
retirement benefits.


 


The NeuStar Labor Burden rate is consistent
with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 2001 and 2nd Quarter 2002 rates for Private
Industry employees and for Professional Specialty and Technical Occupations in
private industry.  [* * *]

Escalation Rates


 


In order to properly price the estimated
costs of operation of the NANPA during the option years of the contract,
NeuStar looked to the actual inflations rates, by specific category, in the
data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  The actual experience for the period reported
by the BLS ending March 2003 was used for each and every option year,
because, in NeuStar’s estimation, this experience is representative of
inflationary trends for the foreseeable future. 
The factor used for Labor is the actual experience reflected in the
Employment Cost Index (ECI) for wages and salaries for private workers in the
white collar professional, specialty and technical category. The factor used
for Other Direct Costs is the experience of the Consumer Price Index — US City
Average less Food and Energy Costs.  The
Airline Travel experience during the most recent 12-month period has been one
of decreasing prices, however, this trend is expected to end.  The rate used for escalation of airline
travel is the CPI — US City Average including Food and Energy Costs.  These rates of escalation, estimated firm for
the next five years, are considered to be fair and reasonable.  It should be noted that BLS does not forecast
escalation for future periods.


 


The escalation factors used by NeuStar are:

2.4                               Reduction


 


NeuStar is the current NANP Administrator,
and will continue to administer the NANP on a month-to-month basis under the
firm-fixed-price arrangement dated January 31, 2003 between the FCC and
NeuStar (the “Month-to-Month Arrangement”) until NANPA operations cuts over to
the new NANP Administration System as specified in the NANPA Transition Plan
attached to the solicitation.  [* * *]

1.             Introduction


 


1.1.         Purpose
and Scope


 


In accordance with NeuStar’s contract(1) and
our constant effort provide the best support and value to both the FCC and the
telecommunications industry, NeuStar, as the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator (NANPA) hereby submits this scope of work change to the Federal
Communications Commission (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.”


 


2.1.         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 June 18, 2004. 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 March 30, 2004 INC meeting,
INC Issue 434 was accepted. It was resolved and moved to Initial Closure on June 18,
2004. This issue does not affect the NANP Administration


 


System (NAS), but it does affect NANPA operations.


 


Issue 434: Removal of Codes from NPAC When
There Are Ported Numbers The official INC issue statement is stated below and
can also be found on the ATIS website:


 


A)                            ISSUE STATEMENT


 


The INC received a letter from the LNPA WG
alerting INC to a problem related to removing codes from NPAC’s network data
when the code is being recovered (see GS-398). In a code recovery situation,
the NPAC removes the code from its network data 15 business days prior to the
planned LERG disconnect date. Sometimes, the NPAC finds that there are ported
numbers in the code and thus is unable to remove the code from its network
data. However, there are instances when the code must be removed even though
there are ported numbers on the code. For example, Carrier X has ceased
operations and its ported-in customers abandoned their numbers. Consequently,
the ported number records remained in tact but are associated with non-working
numbers. Later, the code associated with the non-existent customers’ numbers is
recovered, but because the ported TN records still exist in NPAC, the code
cannot be removed from NPAC’s network data. When the code is reassigned in the
LERG to another carrier, the new LERG-assignee for the code cannot enter the
code in NPAC’s network data as its own, and pooled blocks must be created and
ported to the new LERG-assignee to work around the limitation. Further, the new
LERG-assignee cannot make full use of the code because the numbers remaining in
NPAC as ported cannot be assigned to its customers, i.e., traffic to these
numbers would not route to the new LERG-assignee’s switch, but still to the LRN
of Carrier X.


 


The problem is that NPAC has no authority to
remove a code with active numbers from the NPAC data network, even if it can be
determined that the numbers are not working.


 


B)                            FOLLOWING RESOLUTION FROM INC


 


The following text changes were made to the
final paragraph of Section 3 of the Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment
Guidelines, Procedures for Code Holder Exit (Appendix C):


 


If there are active or pending ports on the
returned NXX code pending disconnect, or if porting of TNs occurs on a returned
NXX code after NANPA has issued a Part 3 disconnect but prior to the 15
business days before the effective date of the disconnect, NPAC should notify
NANPA that a port has occurred. NPAC also will disregard the Part 3
disconnect information and will not suspend porting at the 15 business-day
timeframe. NANPA will request approval from the appropriate regulatory
authority for NPAC to delete the Subscription Version(s) (SVs) from its
databases. Written approval from the regulator for the deletion of the SVs from
the NPAC databases may be sent to NPAC directly from the regulator or via
NANPA.

3.             NeuStar’s Proposed Solution


 


NeuStar’s NANPA reviewed the INC Issue 434
from an operational perspective and proposes that the INC resolution, as stated
in the INC Issue statement, is adequate for meeting the industry requirement.
No changes to the NANP Administration System (NAS) are required.


 


4.             Risk and Assumptions


 


Part of NANPA’s assessment of this Scope
of Work Change is to consider the associated risks and assumptions that can
have an impact on the operation.


 


NeuStar notes that the proposed process of
NANPA interfacing between the NPAC and the appropriate regulators may result in
service providers’ increased failure to comply with the industry requirement to
“disconnect and remove all records related to the LRN and NXX code, including
intra-SP ported TNs, from the NPAC database.”(3) That is, service
providers may come to rely on NANPA to implement the process of removing ported
telephone numbers from the NPAC rather than complying with the guidelines and
performing this work themselves. As a result, the proposed solution may become
time consuming for NANPA if there are periods when large quantities of NXX
codes are returned to NANPA where service providers have failed to fulfill
their responsibilities as described in industry guidelines.


 


This solution also provides a risk that NXX codes
could be held in an indefinite waiting period if NANPA is unable to contact
and/or obtain written approval from the appropriate regulator to remove the
codes from the NPAC database.


 


5.             Cost Assumptions and
Summary


 


With any Scope of Work Change, NANPA must
consider the associated costs that can be incurred with the resolution of INC
Issue 434. As mentioned above, this new process would be an operational
implementation and may require additional resources, depending on the volume of
returned NXX codes where service providers fail to comply with the industry
requirement to remove all NPAC records related to the LRN and NXX code.


 


Since it is unknown at this time how often
such situations as described in Section 4 above will arise, NANPA cannot
estimate whether it will incur additional operational costs as a result of this
guidelines change. To this end, NANPA proposes to implement the new process at
no cost but reserves the right to revisit this situation with the INC, NANC and
the FCC if the concerns expressed above occur.


 










(3)   The
Assumptions Section 2.12 of the Appendix C of the INC Central Office Code
(NXX) Assignment Guidelines states that “It is the responsibility of the SP
returning the NXX code to disconnect and remove all records related to the LRN
and NXX code, including intra-SP ported TNs, from the NPAC database. If a NXX
code is reassigned and there are still old records in NPAC, the new code holder
will encounter problems with the affected numbers from the reassigned NXX code,
e.g., porting records on TNs not in service.”

6.             Conclusion


 


NeuStar, as the NANPA, does hereby seek the
FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change in order for proper communication
protocols to be executed by which the industry can be made aware that NANPA is
accommodating this Scope of Work change order.

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 NANPA Scope of Work


 


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 those
changes that are consistent with regulatory directives after they are
officially adopted, recognizing that some may constitute a change in the scope
of work.


 


On September 8, 2004, the FCC issued a
Public Notice regarding the interpretation of the Red Light Rule.(5) The
notice reads, in pertinent part:


 


The new rule, found at 47 C.F.R. §1.1910 and
commonly referred to as the “red light rule,” provides that anyone filing an
application or seeking a benefit from the Commission or one of its components
(including the Universal Service Administrative Corporation, the
Telecommunications Relay Service, or the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator) who is delinquent in debts owed to the Commission will be barred
from receiving a license or other benefit until the

referred to as the “red light rule.”

delinquency has been resolved. Under this rule, when
an application or request for benefit is filed, the FCC Registration Number
(FRN) will be checked to determine if the entity or person is delinquent in
debt owed to the Commission.


 


On September 13, 2004, NeuStar received
a letter from the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau and the Office of Managing
Director(6) that directed NeuStar, acting as the North American Numbering
Plan Administrator “to withhold numbering resources from any entity identified
by the FCC as not having paid or made satisfactory arrangement for payment of
any debts owed to the Commission.”


 


Currently, FCC Contract Number CON03000016
does not contain any reference to the Red Light Rule, nor does it require the
NANPA to perform the multiple processes, which will be necessary to implement
the rule. By this change order proposal, we offer to provide those services
required by the Red Light Rule Order and the September 13 Letter.
This document provides the information required by the contract, such as
identifying the new requirements, offering our proposed solution, and
addressing its cost, risks, and assumptions.


 


2.             Proposed FCC Scope of Work
Change


 


In accordance with the North American
Numbering Plan Administration Technical Requirements Document, dated March 2003,
the NANP Administration System (NAS) assigns resources based upon the Operating
Company Number (OCN) of a carrier. All utilization and months-to-exhaust forms,
as well as all other functions of NAS, are keyed to OCNs. The FCC is
administering the Red Light Rule using companies’ FCC Registration Numbers
(FRNs). A service provider may have multiple OCNs per FRN. For the NANPA to
implement the Red Light Rule properly, it is necessary for NANPA to
identify which OCNs are associated with any FRN appearing on the FCC delinquent
list. The FCC will post this delinquent FRN list daily to its website. NANPA
will then process the list in order to identify which OCNs match the FRNs on
the list and withhold numbering resources from those applicants whose OCNs on
the application form matches an FRN that appears on the FCC delinquent list.


 


3.             NeuStar’s Proposed Solution


 


In order to implement the FCC Red Light Rule for
central office code application processing,(7) the NANPA proposes using a
short-term, labor-intensive interim manual procedure that will be followed by
the implementation of a long-term mechanized process. (See NANP Administration
Services, Scope of Work Change Proposal #3, NAS Implementation of the Red Light
Rule, which is being filed simultaneously with this Change Order.)


 










(6)   Letter
to Mindy Ginsburg, NeuStar, from Mark Reger, Chief Financial Officer, Office of
Managing Director and Richard Lerner, Acting Deputy Chief, Wireline Competition
Bureau, FCC, September 13, 2004 (the September 13 Letter).


 


(7)   This
includes central office code requests from geographic area codes, the 500 area
code and the 900 area code.


 





















 


	
  NANPA - Scope of Work Change # 2 Proposal -

  
	
  Interim Red Light Rule Process

  	
  October 13, 2004

  



 


NeuStar’s NANPA has reviewed the
implementation of the Red Light Rule from both the operational and
technical perspectives. We believe that our proposed solution set forth below
will enable us to properly assign and deny resources in accordance with the Rule beginning
November 1, 2004.


 


Interim Solution:


 


1.             On a daily
basis, NANPA staff will access the FCC FTP file containing delinquent FRNs.


 


2.             NANPA staff
will run a report that compares the FRNs in the FTP file with the FRNs reported
via the Number Resource Utilization/Forecast (NRUF) reporting process. This
comparison permits the identification of the Operating Company Number(s) (OCNs)
associated with the FRN.


 


3.             NANPA staff
will generate a report of OCN(s) that are ineligible to receive numbering
resources due to the appearance of their FRN on the FCC delinquent list. This
report will be available to NANPA staff processing central office code
assignment requests.


 


4.             At the end of each
business day, NANPA staff will run a query to identify all pending
assignment/reservation applications for central office codes in geographic area
codes. A comparison will be performed on each pending assignment/reservation
application to determine if the requesting OCN is on that day’s FCC delinquent
list, and a list of those applications will be generated. NANPA Code
Administrators will be provided with this list.


 


5.             If a NANPA Code
Administrator processes any of those applications during the next business day,
a Part 3 denial will be created with standard verbiage providing the
reason for the denial and the contact information for the FCC’s Red Light Rule help
desk.


 


NANPA will also provide a list of FRNs and
associated OCNs to the National Pooling Administrator (PA) because the PA is
also subject to the requirements of the Red Light Rule and the September 13
letter, but has no independent access to the OCNs in the NRUF data that is
submitted to the NANPA.


 


Questions concerning an entity’s status with
regard to debts and payment must be directed to the FCC. NANPA will not have
any information on these matters. In compliance with the FCC’s requirements for
NANPA, NANPA will simply use the list of delinquent FRNs provided by the FCC
and identify the associated OCNs as part of the resource assignment and review
process.


 


4.             Assumptions and Risks


 


Part of the NANPA’s assessment of this
change order is to identify the associated assumptions and consider the risks
that can have an impact on our operations.


 


Assumptions:


 


1.             NANPA assumes
that the FCC FTP file will be available each business day. If there are any
problems or issues that result in an updated file not being available, NANPA
will use the most recent FRN list the FCC made available to the NANPA.


 





















 


	
  NANPA - Scope of Work Change # 2 Proposal -

  
	
  Interim Red Light Rule Process

  	
  October 13, 2004

  



 


2.             NANPA assumes
the proposed interim solution outlined in this change order proposal will be
eliminated when the NAS is modified to enable it to perform the manual
functions included in this proposal (within the next 6 months).


 


3.             NANPA assumes
when carriers call to request information relating to the denial, NANPA will
only be required to explain the Red Light Rule and its application in the
assignment of number resources. Questions concerning an entity’s status with
regard to debts and payment must be directed to the FCC.


 


4.             NANPA assumes
the information provided to it on the FCC’s delinquent list is true and
accurate.


 


If the process expands beyond the assumptions,
the NANPA reserves the option of filing a revised change order proposal to
address the additional expansion.


 


Risks


 


As with any manual process, the risks of
human error are greater than with a mechanized process. Further, NANPA relies
on the NRUF data for the FRN-to-OCN associations. The accuracy of the FRN to
OCN association performed by NANPA is only as reliable as the information that
carriers have entered on their NRUF Form 502 submissions.


 


Impact on Operations


 


The proposed solution impacts our operations
by requiring NANPA staff to perform additional functions not identified in the
contract. Specifically, they fall into the following categories:


 


1.             Accessing the
daily FCC delinquent FRN list and transforming the information into a list of delinquent
OCNs;


 


2.             Checking
central office assignment applications against the delinquent OCN list and
denying those assignment/reservation applications that contain an OCN appearing
on the delinquent OCN list;


 


3.             Providing a
list of FRNs and associated OCNs to the Pooling Administrator; and


 


4.             Addressing
additional calls and emails that result from the implementation of the new
criteria.


 


5.             Cost


 


Although NANPA personnel will, on a temporary
basis, assume significant additional tasks to accomplish the processes
described herein, there will be no cost associated with this short-term change
order proposal. If however, NAS is not modified within 6 months to accommodate
the Red Light Rule (see NANPA Change Order #3, NAS Implementation of the
Red Light Rule), NANPA may seek to hire additional personnel to perform the
functions on a long-term basis. The costs associated with hiring additional
personnel would be the subject of a separate change order proposal.

6.             Conclusion


 


NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s
approval for this Scope of Work Change in order for proper communication
protocols to be executed by which the industry can be made aware of NANPA’s
implementation of the new requirements generated by the FCC’s adoption of the
Red Light Rule. In reviewing the impacts of the Red Light Rule on NANPA
operations, the proposal attempts to develop a plan that permits the immediate
implementation of the Red Light Rule while NANPA pursues a long-term,
system-oriented solution to new implementation requirements presented by the
Red Light Rule.

1.             Introduction


 


1.1.         Purpose
and Scope


 


In accordance with NeuStar’s contract(8) and
our constant effort to provide the best support and value to both the Federal
Communication 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 is consistent with the
requirements 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 NANPA Scope of Work


 


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 those
changes that are consistent with regulatory directives after they are
officially adopted, recognizing that some may constitute a change in the scope
of work.


 


On September 8, 2004, the FCC issued a
Public Notice regarding the interpretation of the Red Light Rule(9) The
notice reads, in pertinent part:


 


The new rule, found at 47 C.F.R. §1.1910 and
commonly referred to as the “red light rule,” provides that anyone filing an
application or seeking a benefit from the Commission or one of its components
(including the Universal Service Administrative Corporation, the
Telecommunications Relay Service, or the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator) who is delinquent in debts owed to the Commission will be barred
from receiving a license or other benefit until the delinquency has been
resolved. Under this rule, when an application or request for

benefit is filed, the FCC Registration Number (FRN)
will be checked to determine if the entity or person is delinquent in debt owed
to the Commission.


 


On September 13, 2004, NeuStar received
a letter from the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau and the Office of Managing
Director(10) that directed NeuStar, acting as the North American Numbering
Plan Administrator “to withhold numbering resources from any entity identified
by the FCC as not having paid or made satisfactory arrangement for payment of
any debts owed to the Commission.”


 


Currently, FCC Contract Number CON03000016
does not contain any reference to the Red Light Rule, nor does it require the
NANPA to perform the multiple processes, which will be necessary to implement
the rule. By this change order proposal, we offer to provide those services
required by the Red Light Rule Order and the September 13 Letter.
This document provides the information required by the contract, such as
identifying the new requirements, offering our proposed solution, and
addressing its cost, risks, and assumptions.


 


2.             Proposed FCC Scope of Work
Change


 


In accordance with the North American
Numbering Plan Administration Technical Requirements Document, dated March 2003,
the NANP Administration System (NAS) assigns resources based upon the Operating
Company Number (OCN) of a carrier. All utilization and months-to-exhaust forms,
as well as all other functions of NAS, are keyed to OCNs. The FCC is
administering the Red Light Rule using companies’ FCC Registration Numbers
(FRNs). A service provider may have multiple OCNs per FRN. For the NANPA to
implement the Red Light Rule properly, it is necessary for NANPA to
identify which OCNs are associated with any FRN appearing on the FCC delinquent
list. The FCC will post this delinquent FRN list daily to its website. NANPA
will then process the list in order to identify which OCNs match the FRNs on
the list and withhold numbering resources from those applicants whose OCNs on
the application form matches an FRN that appears on the FCC delinquent list.


 


3.             NeuStar’s Proposed Solution


 


In order to implement the FCC Red Light Rule for
central office code application processing,(11) NANPA proposes modifying the
NANP Administration System (NAS). We believe that our proposed solution set
forth below will enable us to properly assign and deny resources in accordance
with the Red Light Rule in the most efficient and effective manner
possible. .


 


Solution:


 










(10) Letter
to Mindy Ginsburg, NeuStar, from Mark Reger, Chief Financial Officer, Office of
Managing Director and Richard Lerner, Acting Deputy Chief, Wireline Competition
Bureau, FCC, September 13, 2004 (the September 13 Letter).


 


(11) This
includes central office code requests from geographic area codes, the 500 area
code and the 900 area code.


 





















 


l.              On a daily
basis, NAS will access the FCC FTP file containing delinquent FRNs.


 


2.             NAS will
compare the FRNs in the FTP file with the FRNs reported via the Number Resource
Utilization/Forecast (NRUF) reporting process. This comparison will permit the
identification of the Operating Company Number(s) (OCNs) associated with the
FRN.


 


3.             NAS will
generate a report of OCN(s) that are ineligible to receive numbering resources
due to the appearance of their FRN on the FCC delinquent list. This report will
be available to NANPA staff processing central office code assignment requests.


 


4.             At the end of
each business day, NAS will run a query to identify and flag all pending
assignment/reservation applications for central office code in geographic area
codes in which the OCN on the application appears on the delinquent
NAS-generated OCN list.(12)


 


5.             If a NANPA Code
Administrator processes any of those applications during the next business day,
a Part 3 denial will be created with standard verbiage providing the
reason for the denial and the contact information for the FCC’s Red Light Rule help
desk.


 


NANPA will also provide a list of FRNs and
associated OCNs to the National Pooling Administrator (PA) because the PA is
also subject to the requirements of the Red Light Rule and the September 13
letter, but has no independent access to the OCNs in the NRUF data that is
submitted to the NANPA.


 


Questions concerning an entity’s status with
regard to debts and payment must be directed to the FCC. NANPA will not have
any information on these matters. In compliance with the FCC’s requirements for
NANPA, NANPA will simply use the list of delinquent FRNs provided by the FCC
and identify the associated OCNs as part of the resource assignment and review
process.


 


4.             Assumptions and Risks


 


Part of the NANPA’s assessment of this
change order is to identify the associated assumptions and consider the risks
that can have an impact on our operations.


 


Assumptions:


 


1.             NANPA assumes
that the FCC FTP file will be available each business day. If there are any
problems or issues that result in an updated file not being available, NAS will
use the most recent FRN list the FCC made available to the NANPA.


 


2.             NANPA assumes
when carriers call to request information relating to the denial, NANPA will
only be required to explain the Red Light Rule and its application in the
assignment of number resources. Questions concerning an entity’s status with
regard to debts and payment must be directed to the FCC.


 










(12) Applications
for the assignment/reservation of central office codes from the 500 and 900
NPAs will continue to be identified by the Code Administrator.


 





















 


3.             NANPA assumes
the information provided to it on the FCC’s delinquent list is true and
accurate.


 


If the process expands beyond these
assumptions, the NANPA reserves the option of filing a revised change order
proposal to address the additional expansion.


 


Risks


 


This process relies on the NRUF data for the
FRN-to-OCN associations. The accuracy of the FRN to OCN association performed
by NANPA is only as reliable as the information that carriers have entered on
their NRUF Form 502 submissions.


 


Impact on Operations


 


The proposed solution impacts the NAS by
requiring the system to perform additional functions not identified in the
contract. Specifically, they fall into the following categories:


 


1.             Accessing the
daily FCC delinquent FRN list and transforming the information into a list of
delinquent OCNs;


 


2.             Checking and
flagging central office assignment applications against the delinquent OCN
list;


 


3.             Denying those
assignment/reservation applications that have been identified by NAS as
containing an OCN appearing on the delinquent OCN list;


 


4.             Providing a
list of FRNs and associated OCNs to the National Pooling Administrator; and


 


5.             Addressing
additional calls and emails that result from the implementation of the new
criteria.


 


5.             Cost


 


The proposed solution for implementation of
the Red Light Rule requires changes in the NANP Administration System in
order for NANPA Code Administration to identify automatically assignment/reservation
applications and withhold numbering resources where the applicant is appears on
the FCC delinquent FRN list. NANPA has determined that the cost associated with
implementing this change in NAS is $13,121.31.


 


6.             Conclusion


 


NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s
approval for this Scope of Work Change in order for proper communication
protocols to be executed by which the industry can be made aware that NANPA’s
implementation of the requirements generated by the FCC’s adoption of the Red
Light Rule. The proposal and the costs identified herein are intended to permit
the implementation of a long-term system-oriented solution to the new
implementation requirements presented by the Red Light Rule.
