NANPA — Scope of Work Change #16 Proposal — INC Issue 591
 

	1	 	Introduction

	1.1	 	Purpose and Scope

In accordance with NeuStar’s contract1 and our constant effort to provide the best
support and value to both the Federal Communications 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 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.”

	1.2	 	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 proposed INC requirement that went
into initial closure on August 29, 2008. This change order document covers the required subject
matters such as explaining the industry’s requirements, proposed solution, costs and risk and
assumptions.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #16 Proposal — INC Issue 591
 

	2	 	Proposed Industry Numbering Committee (INC) Scope of Work Change

During the August 19, 2008 INC meeting, INC Issue 591 was resolved and went to Initial Closure on
August 29, 2008. This issue affects the NANP Administration System (“NAS”).

	•	 	Issue 591: Change Timeline of Part 1 / Part 3 Processing for NANPA

The official INC issue statement is stated below and can also be found on the ATIS website:

	 	A)	 	ISSUE STATEMENT

Section 5.22 and Appendix D II of the Central Office Code Administrative Guidelines (COCAG)
provides the timeline of 10 business days for the NANPA to process a Part 1 request / issue a
Part 3. In June 2008, the NANPA will be implementing a change to NAS (Number Administrative
System) that will add an interface with PAS (Pooling Administration System) to allow an
automated flow of Part 1 forms for NPA/NXXs in a pooled rate center. With this change there
will be not be a need for manual entry by NANPA for Part 1s received from the PA.

With the automated receipt of Part 1 data from the PA to the NANPA, INC should reduce the
number of days the NANPA has to process a Part 1 / issue a Part 3 from 10 business days to 7
calendar days.

	 	B)	 	FOLLOWING RESOLUTION FROM INC

     COCAG

	 	2.12	 	An applicant is not required to provide any additional explanation or justification
of items that he/she has certified. However, certification alone may not provide the CO
Code Administrator(s) with sufficient information upon which to make a decision regarding
code assignment, and additional dialog and written documentation may be required. The CO
Code Administrator(s) is still obligated to reply within 7 calendar days. Service
providers participating in number pooling shall apply to the PA for all numbering
resources; i.e., thousands-blocks and full NXX codes. In addition, SPs participating in
number pooling must submit changes or disconnects for pooled NXXs to the PA. Changes or
disconnects for non-pooled NXXs in a pooling rate center should be sent to NANPA, unless
the PA received the original request for the non-pooled NXX.
	 
	 	5.2.2	 	Respond within 7 calendar days from the date of receipt of an application form by
completing the response portion that is part of these guidelines (See Appendix D, II).
For an NXX assigned to a pool, the CO Code Administrator shall also set the “Pool
Indicator” on the CO Code ACD screen in BIRRDS to designate that the NXX is assigned to a
pool. For those NXXs which the “Pool Indicator” has been set, the CO Code Administrator
shall provide a Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Request — Part 3 (Administrator’s

Response/Confirmation) directly to both the PA and the LERG Routing Guide Assignee whose
OCN appears on the request form.

The NANPA must notify the carrier in writing of its decision to withhold numbering
resources within 7 calendar days of receiving a request for numbering
resources.3 If the Code Administrator suspended the application within two
business days of the end of the seven-day interval, the seven-day period may be extended
up to two business days. Although the NANPA is required to withhold numbering resources
from any U.S. carrier that fails to comply with reporting and number resource
application requirements, state commissions have been delegated authority to affirm or
overturn a NANPA decision to withhold initial numbering resources.4

	 	5.2.10	 	Respond to the code applicant or the PA in writing via the appropriate “Administrator’s
Response—Receipt of the Part 4” form within 7 calendar days of receiving the Part 4 or
the Part 4-PA. The response may include, but not be limited to, the following:

	 	•	 	Part 4 Form Received and Approved
	 
	 	•	 	Invalid Part 4 Form Received
	 
	 	•	 	Delinquent Part 4 form Received

	 	6.1.2	 	Requests for code assignments cannot be made more than six months prior to the
requested effective date. Applicants must request an effective date at least 66 calendar
days after the request is submitted to the PA via PAS or an effective date at least 59
calendar days after the request is submitted to the NANPA via NAS.

The 66-calendar day interval is derived by adding the 21 days allotted to code request
processing (by the PA and the NANPA) and AOCN input to the industry standard of 45 days
for code activation. The code activation interval begins on the date the NXX code
request is input into BIRRDS. If the AOCN does not enter the information in sufficient
time to allow a 45-day activation interval prior to the effective date, the effective
date will be automatically changed in the appropriate TRA databases to ensure a minimum
45-day activation interval.

The 59-calendar day interval is derived by adding the 14 days5 allotted to
code request processing by the NANPA and AOCN input to the industry standard of 45 days
for code activation. The code activation interval begins on the date the NXX code
request is input into BIRRDS. If the AOCN does not enter the information in sufficient
time to allow a 45-day activation interval prior to the effective date, the effective
date will be automatically changed in the appropriate TRA databases to ensure a minimum
45-day activation interval.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #16 Proposal — INC Issue 591
 

	 	6.1.2.1	 	Requests to open, modify, or disconnect a code in fewer than 66 or 59 calendar days (see
above) increases the potential for call blocking and/or billing errors and should be avoided
except in emergency cases. If an SP must seek an expedite, the burden of implementation is
borne by that SP and does not obligate any other SP to activate the code in fewer than 45
days.

If an SP must request an expedite, the expedite request and the necessary expedite
documentation must accompany the Part 1 request to open, modify, or disconnect a code in
fewer than the standard industry interval of 66 or 59 days.

	 	a)	 	The expedited 21-day or 14-day Interval activities:

	 	•	 	In addition to submitting the Part 1 form to the PA or NANPA, the SP obtains
agreement from its AOCN to input the Part 2 data within a specific negotiated time
period. This can reduce the AOCN period down from 7 days. The SP must provide
written confirmation to the PA or NANPA of the reduction of the 7 days. In the case
where a Code Applicant/Holder acts as its own AOCN, the Code Applicant/Holder
should indicate so on the Part 1. Doing so will reduce the AOCN period down from 7
days.
	 
	 	•	 	Then, the SP submits the Part 1 form through the PA or NANPA with the attached
confirmation from the AOCN if applicable.
	 
	 	•	 	When the SP requests to receive the “earliest effective date” on the Part 1
form, NANPA will reduce the effective date to the earliest date without
compromising the 45-day code activation interval from the date NANPA processes the
request.

     b) The expedited 45-day Interval activities:

	 	•	 	The SP must follow the Network Interconnection and Interoperability Forum (NIIF)
procedures to expedite the 45-day code activation process.6
	 
	 	•	 	On an exception basis, an activation interval of less than 45 calendar days may
be requested on the Part 1. Under no circumstances will an activation interval of
less than 30 calendar days be approved by the homing tandem operating company or
the NANPA.
	 
	 	•	 	To open a new code, the Part 1 must be accompanied by documentation from the
homing tandem operating company that the shorter interval can be met.
	 
	 	•	 	To modify or disconnect an existing code, NANPA may have a direct role such as
entering changes to data on the BIRRDS ACD screen. For disconnects, NANPA has the
direct role of entering the effective date of the disconnect on the ACD screen. If
an expedite is approved, the expedite information will be entered in the BIRRDS ACD
screen as well. When NANPA has a direct role, NANPA has the discretion to grant an
expedite without concurrence from the homing tandem operating company. Under no
circumstances will a modification or disconnect interval of less than 30 days be
approved by the NANPA.

	 	8.2.2	 	If a Part 4 has not been received by the Administrator during the first five months
following the original effective date returned on the Part 3 and entered on the ACD screen in
BIRRDS, then the Administrator will send, via facsimile/electronic mail, a reminder notice to
the code assignee. The notice will be sent no later than one month prior to the end of the
6th month, and will direct the assignee to do one of the following by the end of
the sixth month after the original effective date returned on the Part 3 and entered on the
ACD screen in BIRRDS:

	 	•	 	For non-pooled codes, submit the Part 4 to the CO Code Administrator. If the PA
received the original request for the non-pooled NXX, then the CO Code Administrator will
process the Part 4 and respond to the applicant and the PA in writing via the appropriate
“Administrator’s Response — Receipt of the Part 4” form within 7 calendar days of
receiving the Part 4. The PA then will update its records.
	 
	 	•	 	For pooled codes, submit the Part 4 to the PA.
	 
	 	•	 	If the code is no longer needed or not in service, return the code by submitting a
Part 1.

	 	o	 	By selecting this checkbox, I acknowledge that I am requesting the
earliest possible effective date the Administrator can grant. Please note that
this only applies to a reduction in the Administrator’s processing time, however
the request will still be processed in the order received.

	3	 	NeuStar’s Proposed Solution

INC Issue 591 requires NANPA to reduce the number of calendar days it has to process a
central office code application (Part 1) and the Confirmation of CO Code In-Service (Part 4
or Part 4A when submitted by the Pooling Administrator). In addition, a new check box is
added to the Central Office Code Application Form (Part 1) to permit the applicant to
indicate if the applicant wants the earliest possible effective date available at the time
the application is being processed.

 

					
	NeuStar, INC. 2008

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #16 Proposal — INC Issue 591
 

Solution:

With the implementation of the interface between the NANP Administration System (NAS) and the
Pooling Administration System (PAS), the impact of the reduced number of days to process a central
office code application on NANPA staffing requirements is minimal. As such, no additional staffing
is needed as a result of this change in processing time frames.

With regard to NAS, adjustments in various system timers and validations must be made to account
for the reduction in processing days. Specifically, NAS must be reprogrammed to check to see if the
requested central office code effective date is no less than 59 days, rather than 66 days, for a
non-expedited request. Additionally, internal NAS timers that indicate when a central office code
work item is nearing the maximum allowable processing interval (presently 14 calendar days) must be
reset to reflect the new 7 calendar day interval. Finally, a new check box must be added in NAS on
the Central Office Code Application Form (Part 1) to permit the applicant to indicate if he/she
wants the earliest possible effective date that can be approved by NANPA, without treating the
request as an expedite.

	4	 	Assumptions and Risks

As part of the NANPA’s assessment of this change order, NANPA is required to identify the
associated assumptions and risks that can have an impact on its operations.

Assumptions:

	•	 	Service providers must indicate their desire to have the earliest possible effective date
by checking the new field on the application at the time the application is submitted. Such a
request made after the application has been submitted may not be granted.
	 
	•	 	Expedited code requests will continue to be addressed per Section 6.1.2.1 of the Central
Office Code Assignment Guidelines. Code expedites are only granted if the applicant provides
the appropriate supporting documentation, per Section 6.1.2.1, and that documentation
accompanies the Part 1 application. The purpose of the new check box on the Part 1 application
is to alert NANPA that the applicant does not request a specific effective date, but rather
the earliest effective date NANPA can approve, without treating the request as an expedite.
	 
	•	 	Required changes in PAS to reflect the reduced NANPA processing intervals as well as the
new data field on the Part 1 central office code application form will take place
simultaneously with the implementation in NAS.

Risks:

	•	 	The reduced processing interval may result in an increased quantity of suspended
applications. Specifically, applications containing minor errors that require additional
information from the applicant or applications requiring NANPA to obtain a report from NPAC on
possible telephone number porting on a code (e.g., applications returning a code or requesting
a rate center change) may need to be suspended by NANPA as there is less time within the new
processing window to address these matters.

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #16 Proposal — INC Issue 591
 

	5	 	Cost Assumptions and Summary

The proposed solution for implementation of INC Issue 591 requires changes in NAS in order for the
system to recognize the revised processing intervals and the new data field on the central office
code application form. NANPA has determined that the cost associated with implementing this change
in NAS is $9,504.00.

	6	 	Conclusion

NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change. Upon approval
by the FCC, NANPA will notify the industry that it is accommodating this Scope of Work change
order.
