Abstract: Carriers that receive numbering resources from the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) Administrator or that receive numbering resources from the Pooling Administrator in thousand- blocks must report forecast and utilization data semi-annually. These carriers are also required to maintain detailed internal records of their number usage. Carriers must file applications for initial and growth numbering resources. The information will be used by the FCC, state regulatory commissions, and the NANP Administrator to monitor numbering resource utilization and to project the date of area cost and NANP exhaust.

The Commission is reporting a -48,520 burden hour reduction (program change). The Commission is also reporting a -$4,396,200 cost adjustment because the estimated costs for year four of the contract averages out to less costs for wages over time (see paragraph 13 of the supporting statement for the cost methodology.)
