form of certification is required, it
should come from the Commission or a
national public safety organization.
21. In 2012, TCS refreshed the record
in this proceeding and announced that
it was certified as a competitive local
exchange carrier in 42 states and could
obtain p-ANI codes directly for use in
those states. However, TCS states that it
cannot obtain p-ANI codes in all states
due to state certification issues. TCS
lacks certification in Idaho, Colorado,
Wyoming, South Dakota, South
Carolina, West Virginia, Alaska, and the
District of Columbia, and has an open
application in Maine. TCS encountered
certification questions in Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio, and Arizona that directly related
to the inapplicability of CLEC
certification to VoIP Positioning
Services. Moreover, TCS notes that it
had to relinquish its inventory of p-ANI
codes to Neustar as part of the
Commission’s move to a permanent pANI administrator. TCS thus cannot
obtain p-ANI codes in certain states, and
TCS asserts that this may result in
disruptions to E911 and homeland
security. It notes in particular that its
difficulty obtaining codes in South
Carolina ‘‘is currently causing a 911
routing disruption’’ in that state. TCS
states that, ‘‘because it is not [a] CLEC
certified in South Carolina and there is
not ‘central 911 authority’ in South
Carolina from which to secure a waiver,
[TCS] has been denied access to p-ANI
in this area. This places TCS’s
customers, and their end users, in
jeopardy.’’ TCS requests that the
Commission grant a waiver so that TCS
may obtain p-ANIs in states where TCS
is not certified.
2. Discussion
22. We grant TCS a limited waiver of
§ 52.15(g)(2)(i) of the Commission’s
rules so that it may obtain p-ANI codes
from the RNA in South Carolina and
other states where it cannot obtain
certification. TCS may show that it
cannot obtain state certification by
demonstrating that the state does not
certify VPC providers (it has already
done so in South Carolina). We grant
this limited waiver while the
Commission considers whether
§ 52.15(g)(2)(i) should be modified to
allow all providers of VPC service to
directly access p-ANI codes.
23. This waiver is limited in duration
and scope. It lasts only until the
Commission addresses whether to
modify § 52.15(g)(2)(i) of the rules to
allow all VPC providers direct access to
numbers, specifically p-ANI codes, for
the purpose of providing 911 and E911
service. The waiver applies only with
respect to states where TCS

demonstrates that it cannot obtain pANI codes because it cannot obtain state
certification. For example, TCS could
provide the Commission with a denial
from a state commission with the reason
for denial being that the state does not
certify VPC providers, or a statement
from the state commission or its general
counsel that it does not certify VPC
providers. Upon such a showing, the
Bureau will notify the RNA that TCS
may directly access p-ANI codes in a
particular state. We will consider
broader relief, including options that
TCS proposed, in the rulemaking.
During the pendency of the rulemaking,
we find good cause to grant TCS a
limited waiver of § 52.15(g)(2)(i) of the
Commission’s rules so that it may obtain
p-ANIs in those states where it cannot
obtain certification.
thereto, must be filed through the
electronic comment filing system
available for that proceeding, and must
be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc,
.xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants
in this proceeding should familiarize
themselves with the Commission’s ex
parte rules.
II. Procedural Matters
C. Congressional Review Act
26. The Commission will not send a
copy of this Order pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A), because the adopted rules
are rules of particular applicability.
A. Ex Parte Rules—Permit-but-Disclose
24. The proceeding this Notice
initiates shall be treated as a ‘‘permitbut-disclose’’ proceeding in accordance
with the Commission’s ex parte rules.
See 47 CFR 1.1200 et seq. Persons
making ex parte presentations must file
a copy of any written presentation or a
memorandum summarizing any oral
presentation within two business days
after the presentation (unless a different
deadline applicable to the Sunshine
period applies). Persons making oral ex
parte presentations are reminded that
memoranda summarizing the
presentation must (1) list all persons
attending or otherwise participating in
the meeting at which the ex parte
presentation was made, and (2)
summarize all data presented and
arguments made during the
presentation. If the presentation
consisted in whole or in part of the
presentation of data or arguments
already reflected in the presenter’s
written comments, memoranda or other
filings in the proceeding, the presenter
may provide citations to such data or
arguments in his or her prior comments,
memoranda, or other filings (specifying
the relevant page and/or paragraph
numbers where such data or arguments
can be found) in lieu of summarizing
them in the memorandum. Documents
shown or given to Commission staff
during ex parte meetings are deemed to
be written ex parte presentations and
must be filed consistent with
§ 1.1206(b). In proceedings governed by
§ 1.49(f) or for which the Commission
has made available a method of
electronic filing, written ex parte
presentations and memoranda
summarizing oral ex parte
presentations, and all attachments

B. Paperwork Reduction Analysis
25. This document does not contain
proposed information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

contain any proposed information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees,
pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
III. Ordering Clauses
27. It is ordered that, pursuant to the
authority contained in sections 1, 3, 4,
201–205, 251, and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 153, 154, 201–

of the Commission’s Rules are granted
to the extent set forth herein, and this
Order shall be effective upon release.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The final regulations that are the
subject of these corrections are the band
plan for the 4940–4990 MHz band.
Section 90.1203(a) was amended to
change the bandwidth of Channel 14
from five megahertz to one megahertz.
The table in § 90.1203(a) was amended
to add a bandwidth column, which
assigned a bandwidth value to each
center frequency and channel number.
Need for Correction

preamble, the Federal Communications
Commission amends 47 CFR part 73 as
