Abstract: In the Third Report and Order and Second Order on Reconsideration in CC Docket No. 99-200, the Commission continues efforts to maximize the efficiency with which numbering resources in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) are utilized. In order for price cap LECs to qualify for exogenous adjustment to access charges established under the federal cost recovery mechanism, they must demonstrate that pooling results in a net cost increase rather than a cost reduction. Applications to state commission from carriers must demonstrate that certain requirements are met before states.....

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The previous information collection requirements associated with the "Reporting Requirements for Federal Cost Recovery" have expired. Because the extraordinary federal recovery mechanism was intended to recover only the initial implementation costs of thousands block number pooling, we concluded that recovery should be spread over a two-year period. This was appropriate given the two-year national rollout period that the Commission proposed. After that implementation period, thousands-block number pooling became a normal network function and recovery of ongoing costs is through existing means.
