NIOC, Issue #0186, “Processing of Calling Party Category Parameters at Gateways”, was accepted on 2/13/01 at NIIF #27. The NIOC is actively working to ensure that the NIIF documentation provides carriers adequate guidance regarding the processing of the CPC parameters at ANSI to ANSI and ANSI to ITU-T gateways.
