FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[CC Docket No. 95–155]

Toll Free Service Access Codes

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice; letter.

SUMMARY: The Common Carrier Bureau

has issued a letter to Database Service

Management, Inc., extending the time

for subscribers holding toll free 800

numbers to exercise their right of first

refusal to request corresponding toll free

888 numbers that were set aside for

them. The letter also extends the time

for RespOrgs to report subscriber

requests to DSMI and for DSMI to

process and verify RespOrg reports as

they come in, and it directs DSMI to

take several other actions to ensure:

That all subscriber requests to retain

their set-aside numbers are promptly

assigned and activated as ‘‘working’’;

that no subscriber requests get rejected

for being submitted late; and that all setaside numbers for which subscribers did

not respond in writing are placed in

‘‘unavailable’’ status rather than ‘‘spare’’

status, while the Commission audits

them to ensure that subscribers received

adequate notice from the RespOrgs.

Mr. Michael Wade,

President, Database Service Management,

Inc., 6 Corporate Place, Room PYA–

1F286, Piscataway, NJ 08854–4157.

Re: Processing of set-aside 888 numbers for

subscribers holding corresponding 800

numbers

Dear Mr. Wade: The Bureau’s letter to you

dated April 2, 1998, established a 90-day

schedule to transfer to RespOrg control or to
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 104 / Monday, June 1, 1998 / Notices 29735

release into ‘‘spare’’ status 888 vanity

numbers that were set aside for subscribers

holding corresponding 800 numbers. Your

letter dated April 10, 1998, indicates that the

90-day schedule does not allow sufficient

time for DSMI to process and verify RespOrg

reports of subscriber requests for these

numbers. The Bureau in this letter now

extends the time for subscribers to request

numbers that were set aside for them, for

RespOrgs to report subscriber requests to

DSMI, and for DSMI to process and verify

RespOrg reports as they come in. It also

directs DSMI to take several other actions,

which are intended to ensure: (1) That all

subscriber requests to retain their set-aside

numbers are promptly assigned and activated

as ‘‘working’’; (2) that no subscriber requests

get rejected for being submitted late; and (3)

that all set-aside numbers for which

subscribers did not respond in writing are

placed in ‘‘unavailable’’ status rather than

‘‘spare’’ status, while the Commission audits

them to ensure that subscribers received

adequate notice from the RespOrgs.

Under the current 90-day schedule,

RespOrgs were required in the first 20 days,

which ended April 25, 1998, to notify their

subscribers that they may choose to reserve

their set-aside numbers. In the next 30 days,

subscribers must submit written requests to

the RespOrgs in order to retain their

numbers, and they are permitted to submit

written requests to release the numbers as

‘‘spare.’’ In the following 30 days, RespOrgs

must report the subscribers’’ requests to

DSMI, with documentation of each

subscriber’s request or certification that the

subscriber did not respond. In the last 10

days, DSMI must complete processing the

requests.

The Bureau is concerned that erroneously

releasing a number into ‘‘spare’’ status

contrary to a subscriber’s intent would not be

a correctable error if the number then

becomes ‘‘reserved,’’ ‘‘assigned,’’ or activated

as ‘‘working’’ for the account of another

subscriber. (Erroneously assigning and

activating a subscriber’s set-aside number as

‘‘working’’ would presumably be correctable,

by placing it in the proper status and

ensuring that the subscriber is not charged

for it.) It is therefore imperative to verify, for

each number that a RespOrg certifies the

subscriber did not respond, that the

subscriber received adequate notice of right

of first refusal from the RespOrg before

releasing the number into ‘‘spare’’ status.

Other potential problems, in addition to

inadequate notice, could also necessitate

additional time for processing or for

correction and re-processing. Among these

may be, for example, failure by subscribers to

mail their requests to RespOrgs or to mail

them by May 24, 1998, or mishandling of

written subscriber requests by RespOrgs or

their agents, or failure or inability of

RespOrgs or their agents to report subscriber

requests correctly to DSMI. Compounding or

contributing to these possibilities, other

events might transpire during or after the 90-

day period—for example, a subscriber might

change RespOrgs, an 800 number might be

disconnected or suspended, or an 888

number that is returned to RespOrg control

for activation as ‘‘working’’ might instead be

placed in ‘‘reserved’’ status (and 45 days later

automatically moved to ‘‘spare’’ status if the

subscriber fails to submit a further request to

activate).

In light of these concerns, the Bureau

modifies the process for handling the 888

numbers that were set aside for subscribers

holding corresponding 800 numbers, as

follows.

1. Written subscriber requests received

from RespOrgs by August 21, 1998—

Processed by DSMI by September 10, 1998—

Activated by September 30, 1998. The Bureau

directs DSMI to instruct the RespOrgs that

additional time is allotted, until August 21,

1998, for RespOrgs to complete notifying

subscribers of their right of first refusal, for

subscribers to respond to the RespOrgs’

notification in writing, and for RespOrgs to

report all results to DSMI (with

documentation of written subscriber requests

and certification of all other results). The

Bureau also directs DSMI to instruct the

RespOrgs that they may set target dates for

subscriber responses, consistent with this

time schedule. The Bureau further directs

DSMI that, for all 888 number requests that

are reported to DSMI and received from

RespOrgs by August 21, 1998, and that are

documented by written subscriber requests

(rather than by RespOrg certification of other

results), DSMI will have an additional 20

days for processing those written subscriber

requests, until September 10, 1998. In that

time, DSMI must complete all processing,

place into ‘‘spare’’ status all numbers to be

released, place into ‘‘assigned’’ status all

numbers that subscribers wish to retain,

transfer to the RespOrgs control of numbers

that are to be activated as ‘‘working,’’ and

instruct the RespOrgs to complete activation

of those numbers as ‘‘working’’ within 20

days thereafter, no later than September 30,

1998.

2. Late-filed written requests—

Acceptance—Requests to reserve. The Bureau

directs DSMI to instruct the RespOrgs that

they may not reject written requests from

subscribers received after August 21, 1998,

and that they must submit to DSMI, on an

ongoing basis, all written requests with

accompanying documentation as they come

in from subscribers no later than 30 days

after receiving them. The Bureau instructs

DSMI to process all such requests within 20

days of receiving them, and, upon

completion of processing, place into ‘‘spare’’

status all numbers requested to be released,

place into ‘‘assigned’’ status all numbers that

subscribers wish to retain, transfer to the

RespOrgs control of numbers that are to be

activated as ‘‘working,’’ and instruct the

RespOrgs to complete activation of those

numbers as ‘‘working’’ within 20 days

thereafter. The Bureau permits DSMI to

request more than 20 days to process latefiled requests, if DSMI’s request is due to a

reduction in DSMI’s work force needed to

comply with this letter.

3. ‘‘No response’’ numbers—‘‘Unavailable’’

status—Commission audit. The Bureau

directs DSMI to retain in ‘‘unavailable’’ status

those set-aside 888 numbers for which

subscribers did not respond, and not to

release those numbers into the general pool

as ‘‘spare’’ unless and until the Commission

informs DSMI otherwise. The Bureau also

directs DSMI to instruct the RespOrgs that,

for DSMI to verify documentation, each

certification of no subscriber response that a

RespOrg submits to DSMI must include

subscriber contact information, containing at

least the name, address, and phone number

of the subscriber and the date and means by

which the RespOrg notified the subscriber of

the right of first refusal. The Bureau further

directs DSMI to inform the RespOrgs that,

after September 10, 1998, the Commission

will audit those numbers and the

documentation with which the RespOrgs

certify that subscribers did not respond in

writing, to ensure that the subscribers

received adequate notice from the RespOrgs

of their right of first refusal.

Following completion of the process

directed in this letter, the time for subscribers

to exercise their rights of first refusal will

come to an end when the Bureau directs

DSMI to release the remaining ‘‘unavailable’’

set-aside 888 numbers into ‘‘spare’’ status.

Sincerely,

Geraldine A. Matise,

Chief, Network Services Division.
