announcing GSA's approval of the renewal of the North American 
Numbering Council charter through September 23, 2013. The intended 
effect of this action is to make the public aware of the renewal of the 
North American Numbering Council charter.

DATES: Renewed through September 23, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The General Services Administration (GSA) 
has renewed the charter of the North American Numbering Council (NANC 
or Council) through September 23, 2013. 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 NANC, 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. The 
Commission filed the original charter of the Council on October 5, 
1995, establishing an initial two-year term. The Wireline Competition 
Bureau (Bureau) has renewed this charter every two years since that 
date. Since the last charter renewal, the Council has provided the 
Commission with critically important recommendations, such as the 
NANC's proposed method of selecting a Local Number Portability 
Administrator. In addition, the Council recommended porting intervals 
for simple, non-simple, and project ports, along with provisioning 
flows to support those recommended porting intervals. The Council also 
provided detailed annual evaluations of the current North American 
Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), the Pooling Administrator (PA), 
and the Billing and Collection (B and C) Agent. The Council will 
continue to evaluate the performances of the NANPA, the PA, and the B 
and C Agent on an annual basis. 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 value of this Federal advisory committee to the telecommunications 
industry and to the American public cannot be overstated. Telephone 
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 
number administration in 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.
