NANPA — Scope of Work Change #10 Proposal — NOWG Recommendation
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 the NANPA System
The need for changes to the NANPA system may result from interaction between the North American Numbering Council (NANC), the Industry Numbering Committee (INC), the FCC and the NANPA or from technological evolution. These changes are usually to improve system operation and/or address processing problems of fix unforeseen system responses. The FCC acknowledges the importance of the interaction of the parties for developing system enhancements and fixes. For the changes to be properly acknowledged and fiscally addressed in the context of the contract, all such system changes should be approached through the following steps:
| | 1. | | Either the contractor, the NANC, the INC or the FCC may identify a need for change to the NANPA system. |
| |
| | 2. | | All parties may discuss the needed change and address possible solutions. |
| |
| | 3. | | The NANC, the INC or the FCC may request the contractor to propose a solution to affect the change. The contractor shall develop a solution and alternatives if feasible, and associated cost of each solution. The contractor shall submit the proposal(s) and associated cost information to the NANC for review. |
| |
| | 4. | | The NANC may adopt one of the proposed changes or return the proposal to the contractor for further development/clarification. |
| |
| | 5. | | 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. |

NANPA — Scope of Work Change #10 Proposal — NOWG Recommendation
This document provides detailed information pertaining to the Numbering Oversight Working Group (NOWG) recommendation submitted to NANPA on March 5, 2007. This change order document covers the required subject matters such as explaining the NOWG’s requirements, proposed solution, costs and risk and assumptions.
NANPA — Scope of Work Change #10 Proposal — NOWG Recommendation
2 NOWG Recommended Scope of Work Change
Presently, NANPA has the capability to identify and mark codes in NAS with the code status of “pooling set aside.” Pooling set aside codes are central office codes that have been specifically identified for assignment only to service providers participating in thousand block number pooling. Codes with this status are included in the category of “Unavailable Codes” on the Central Office Code Assignment Activity Record (i.e., CAA Report). Further, pooling set aside codes do not appear on the list of available codes on the Central Office Code Availability Report. Both of these reports are found on the NANPA website and are often referenced by service providers before requesting the assignment of a code.
In February 2007, the NOWG requested NANPA to investigate the feasibility of modifying NAS in order to change the current classification of pooling set aside codes to the “available” for assignment status. As such, central office codes with a pooling set-aside status would appear on the Central Office Code Availability Report as well as be included in the total quantity of available codes on the CAA Report.
3 NeuStar’s Proposed Solution
Central office codes with the pooling set-aside code status will be classified under the category of “available” for assignment. The following reports, which are available on the NANPA website, will change as a result of this re-classification:
| | • | | Central Office Code Availability Report (real-time report) — Pooling set-aside codes will appear in the list of available codes. |
| |
| | • | | Central Office Code Utilized Report (real-time report) — Pooling set aside codes will no longer appear on this report. |
| |
| | • | | Central Office Code Assignment Records (text and Excel files) — For the text files, pooling set-aside codes will appear in the list of available codes rather than the list of utilized codes. For the Excel files, pooling set aside codes will appear as “vacant code” and available for assignment. |
| |
| | • | | Central Office Code Assignment Activity Record (CAA Report) — As necessary, the quantity of pooling set aside codes will continue to appear in a separate column on the report. However, the quantity of pooling set aside codes will be included in the total quantity of “available” codes rather than the total quantity of “unavailable” codes. When a pooling set-aside code is assigned, the quantity of “available” codes will decrease by one and the quantity of “unavailable” codes will increase by one. |
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.
NANPA — Scope of Work Change #10 Proposal — NOWG Recommendation
Assumptions:
| • | | NANPA will send appropriate notice via the NAS NANP Notification System (NNS) to the industry when the changes made to these reports appear on the NANPA website. |
| |
| • | | Previous Central Office Code Assignment Activity Record Reports that are posted on the NANPA website will not be modified to reflect this change. Appropriate notation will be added to the NANPA website to inform users of the re-classification of pooling set aside codes, the impact on the quantity of available and unavailable codes and the effective date of the change. |
Risks:
| • | | There may be some initial confusion when these reports are modified. Specifically, on the CAA Report, for NPAs that have pooling set aside codes, the quantity of available codes will increase by the number of pooling set aside codes. Some users of these reports may attempt to compare the revised CAA Report with previous reports and notice the increase in the quantity of available codes. This may result in questions directed to the NANPA and/or the state regulatory authorities. |
5 Cost Assumptions and Summary
The proposed solution for implementation of the NOWG Recommendation requires changes in NAS in order for the impacted reports to properly reflect the re-classification of codes in the pooling set aside status from “unavailable” for assignment to “available.” NANPA has determined that the cost associated with implementing this change in NAS is $3,352.00.
6 Conclusion
NeuStar, as the NANPA, hereby seeks the FCC’s approval for this Scope of Work Change. Upon approval by the FCC, NANPA can notify the industry that NANPA is accommodating this Scope of Work change order.
