[CC Docket No. 99–200; DA 01–1409]

Common Carrier Bureau Clarifies That

Future Filings of Numbering Utilization

and Forecast Reports Must Include

Numbering Resources in the 500 and

900 NPAs

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On June 11, 2001, the

Commission released a public notice

clarifying that future filings of

numbering utilization and forecast

reports must include numbering

resources in the 500 and 900 NPA. The

intended effect of this action is to

remind common carriers of the

requirement for filing numbering

utilization and forecast reports.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Cheryl L. Callahan at (202) 418–2320 or

ccallaha@fcc.gov of the Common Carrier

Bureau, Network Services Division. The

address is: Network Services Division,

Common Carrier Bureau, Federal

Communications Commission, The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Released:

June 11, 2001. On March 31, 2000, the

Commission released a Report and

Order and Further Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking that, among other things,

required carriers to report semiannually

on their actual and forecasted number

usage.1 Carriers are required to file

reports twice each calendar year on or

before February 1 for the six-month

period ending December 31 and on or

before August 1 for the six-month

period ending June 30.2

Carriers that receive central office

codes or NXX codes (i.e., code holders)

from the North American Numbering

Administrator (NANPA), or that receive

thousands-blocks (i.e., block holders)

from a Pooling Administrator, must

report utilization and forecast data for

all numbering resources in their

inventory or ‘‘assigned to them’’,

including numbering resources in the

500 and 900 area codes or numbering

plan areas (NPAs). In previous

numbering utilization and forecast

reports, carriers have not included

information on the 500 and 900 NPAs.

Because the NANPA has reported that

the 500 and 900 NPAs are nearing

exhaust, it is necessary to more closely

track the use of 500 and 900 numbering

resources and more closely monitor

their projected exhaust. Moreover, the

NRO Order mandated that ‘‘all carriers

that receive numbering resources from

the NANPA (i.e., code holders), or that

receive numbering resources from a

Pooling Administrator in thousandsblocks (i.e., block holders), report

forecast and utilization data to the

NANPA.’’ 3 Clearly 500 and 900 NPA’s

are covered by this mandate.

The Bureau has instructed the

NANPA, in accordance with 47 CFR

52.15(g)(3)(4), to withhold numbering

resources from carriers that fail to

comply with these reporting

requirements. Carriers are encouraged to

report numbering resources in the 500

and 900 NPAs separately from those in

the geographic NPAs. The NANPA will

provide further guidance to carriers

completing utilization and forecast data

for 500 and 900 numbering resources on

its web site, www.nanpa.com.
