Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public

2020. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon

(1) demonstrate that terminal equipment
complies with criteria for protecting the

providers of telecommunications, the
Commission and others are able to trace
products to the party responsible for
ensuring compliance with these criteria;
it is essential to require manufacturers
or other responsible parties to provide
the information required by Part 68. In
addition, incumbent local exchange
carriers must provide the information in
Part 68 to warn their subscribers of
impending disconnection of service
when subscriber terminal equipment is
causing telephone network harm, and to
inform subscribers of a change in
network facilities that requires
modification or alteration of subscribers’
terminal equipment.

Needs and Uses: On December 12,
2018, the Commission adopted rules in
FCC 18–177, Second Report and Order,
published at 84 FR 11226, March 26,
2019, which contain new information
collection requirements. Specifically,
the Commission concluded that the
obligation to provide permanent
disconnect information will apply to all
reporting carriers as defined in the
Commission’s numbering rules, which
include wireless, wireline, and
interconnected Voice over internet
Protocol providers that obtain numbers
from the North American Numbering
Plan Administrator. As part of the
Commission reporting requirements,
reporting carriers must provide, among
other things, the most recent date each
North American Numbering Plan
telephone number allocated or ported to
the reporting carrier was permanently
disconnected. The telephone number
and date of permanent disconnection
will allow voluntary users of the
database to determine whether a
number has been permanently
disconnected prior to calling that
number, thereby protecting against
unwanted calls to consumers and
potential Telephone Consumer
Protection Act liability for callers.
Reporting carriers and voluntary users
of the reassigned numbers database may
also need to provide contact
information, including names, address,
and telephone number, to enable the
database administrator to contact the
reporting carrier in case there are any
issues with their submission.
The Commission has referred to the
North American Numbering Council the
development of a technical
requirements document for the
reassigned numbers database for review
by the Commission. The technical
requirements document will contain a
single, unified set of functional and
interface requirements for: Technical
interoperability and operational
standards; the user interface
specifications and data format for
service providers to report to the
Administrator; the user interfaces and
other means by which callers may
submit queries, including providing
callers the abilities for high-volume and
batch processing or to submit individual
queries; appropriate safeguards to
protect the privacy and security of
subscribers, protect the database from
unauthorized access, and ensure the
security and integrity of the data; and
keeping records of service providers’
reporting and accounting.
