INC Meetings INC Meetings: INC held two face-to-face meetings since the last NANC report. Next INC Meeting: February 28-March 1, 2012 (Irving, TX) Details on all future meetings can be found at: www.atis.org/inc/calendar.asp
Issue 723: Edit TBPAG and COCAG to Address Denial of SP Applications Under Revoked Jurisdictions or Licenses Under INC Issue 710, INC added text to the CO Code Guidelines and the Pooling Guidelines giving the states guidance to provide written direction and supporting documentation to the NANPA and the PA to deny numbering resources to an applicant when the state is aware that the applicant’s jurisdictional certification or license has been revoked. Also under Issue 710, INC added text to document that the NANPA and the PA shall deny resources to an applicant when the appropriate regulatory authority has provided such written direction and supporting documentation. Issue 710 also had several other items in its resolution to help states identify the relationship of a service provider’s multiple OCNs in a given state that don’t require changes in either guideline. These other items require the implementation of NANPA and PA Change Orders. INC accepted new Issue 723 to bifurcate the guidelines changes from the Change Orders so that the guidelines changes could be implemented expediently. Issue 723 is now incorporated into both sets of guidelines. 3
Non-Geographic 5YY-NXX Codes (Issues 692 and 702) The demand for non-geographic 5YY-NXXs has increased substantially over the past few years, and the use of these resources has evolved with technology. INC has been working Issue 692 and Issue 702 to significantly revise the 5YY-NXX Code Assignment Guidelines, including an update of the service description for these resources to better reflect their use for machine-type communications and applications. INC is also updating the Guidelines to ensure that NANPA and code holders/applicants have a clear understanding of the criteria necessary to obtain and retain these resources. These items include: The FCC has authority to reclaim 5YY resources or grant extensions to service providers NANPA shall provide semi-annual exhaust projections of the total non-geographic 5XX NPAs set aside for these non-geographic services Service providers shall provide documentation to NANPA to demonstrate authorization to provide service when requesting an initial non-geographic code 4
