Needs and Uses: The Commission 

seeks three-year approval for an 

extension (no change in requirements) 

for this information collection. 

This collection places reporting and 

third party requirements on wireless 

and wireline carriers and equipment 

manufacturers aimed at responding to 

the problem of the inability of 

emergency workers to contact for further 

critical information a 911 caller using a 

non-initialized wireless telephone or a 

‘‘911 only’’ phone, which do not have 

dialable numbers. To advise the public 

and emergency workers of this 

limitation and to thus advise them in 

using such phones in emergency 

situations to provide as much critical 

information, particularly regarding 

location, the Commission adopts 

labeling, software, and public education 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Released 

October 25, 2005. 

The GSA has renewed the charter of 

the North American Numbering Council 

(Council) through September 26, 2007. 

The Council will continue to advise the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(Commission) on rapidly evolving and 

competitively significant numbering 

issues facing the telecommunications 

industry. 

In October 1995, the Commission 

established the North American 

Numbering Council, a federal advisory 

committee created pursuant to the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C., App. 2 (1988), to advise the 

Commission on issues related to North 

American Numbering Plan (NANP) 

administration in the United States, 

including local number portability 

administration issues. The original 

charter of the Council was effective on 

October 5, 1995, establishing an initial 

two-year term. Amended charters were 

filed on October 5, 1997, October 5, 

1999, October 5, 2001, and October 5, 

2003, each renewing the term of the 

charter for an additional two years. 

Since the last charter renewal, the 

Council has provided the Commission 

with critically important 

recommendations regarding numbering 

issues. During the term of the prior 

amended charter, the Council made 

recommendations on issues which 

included: (1) NANC Local Number 

Portability Administrator (LNPA) 

Change Orders 399 and 400—changes to 

the software used by the Number 

Portability Administration Center; (2) 

Request for Commission Endorsement of 

Two LNPA Position Papers; (3) NANC 

acceptance of new members of 

NeuStar’s Board of Directors; (4) Process 

Flow Change Based on the Industry 

Numbering Committee Issue 407 (CC 

Docket No. 99–200); (5) NeuStar’s 

Request for Modification of Prior 

Approval Policies; (6) Intermodal 

Porting Intervals; (7) Treatment of 

NANP Administration Funds; (8) The 

NANC’s Issue Management Group 

Report on the Impact of a 25% Number 

Pooling Contamination Threshold; (9) 

Abbreviated Dialing for One Call 

Notification; and (10) Amendment of 

the LNP Provisioning Flows Narrative to 

include a footer statement and timer 

change. The Council also provided 

detailed evaluations of the North 

American Numbering Plan 

Administrator (NANPA) and the Pooling 

Administrator (PA). The Council will 

continue to evaluate the NANPA’s and 

the PA’s performances annually. 

Moreover, the Council is presently 

considering and formulating 

recommendations on other important 

numbering-related issues that will 

require work beyond the term of the 

present charter. The term of the 

Council’s renewed charter begins 

September 26, 2005 and runs through 

September 26, 2007. 

The value of this federal advisory 

committee to the telecommunications 

industry and to the American public 

cannot be overstated. Numbers are the 

means by which consumers gain access 

to, and reap the benefits of, the public 

switched telephone network. The 

Council’s recommendations to the 

Commission will facilitate fair and 

efficient numbering administration in 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Notices 66411 

the United States, and will ensure that 

numbering resources are available to all 

telecommunications service providers 

on a fair and equitable basis, consistent 

with the requirements of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[WC Docket No. 05–283; DA 05–2680] 

Access Charges for IP-Originated Calls 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document seeks 

comment on a petition for declaratory 

ruling filed by Grande Communications. 

Grande seeks a declaratory ruling 

regarding the treatment of traffic 

terminated through Grande to end users 

of interconnected local exchange 

carriers (LECs), in circumstances where 

customers of Grande have certified that 

the traffic originated in Internet protocol 

(IP) format. Specifically, Grande seeks a 

declaratory ruling that a LEC may 

properly rely on a customer’s 

certification that the traffic being sent 

originates in IP format at the calling 

party’s premises and therefore 

undergoes a net protocol conversion, or 

is otherwise enhanced, IP-enabled 

traffic; a LEC may send such certified 

traffic to other terminating LECs over 

local interconnection trunks; and 

terminating LECs receiving such traffic 

over local interconnection trunks are to 

treat that traffic as local traffic for 

intercarrier compensation purposes and 

may not assess access charges for such 

traffic. 

DATES: Comments due December 12,
