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
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM

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.

Access Charges for IP-Originated Calls
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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,
2005, and reply comments due January
11, 2006.

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

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,

Council made recommendations on issues which included: (1) NANC Local
Number Portability Administrator (LNPA) Change Orders 399 and 400--

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

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
