In a June 2015 Report and Order (FCC 15-70), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the Numbering Authorization Application process, which allows interconnected VoIP providers to apply for a blanket authorization from the FCC that, once granted, will allow them to demonstrate that they have the authority to provide service in specific areas, thus enabling them to request numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators. This collection covers the information and certifications that applicants must submit in order to comply with the Numbering Authorization Application process. The data, information, and documents acquired through this collection will allow interconnected VoIP providers to obtain numbers with minimal burden or delay while also preventing providers from obtaining numbers without first demonstrating that they can deploy and properly utilize such resources. This information will also help the FCC protect against number exhaust while promoting competitive neutrality among traditional telecommunications carriers and interconnected VoIP providers by allowing both entities to obtain numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators. It will further help the FCC to maintain efficient utilization of numbering resources and ensure that telephone numbers are not being stranded.

From the last submission to OMB, the Commission is reporting adjustments/increases to this information collection. The total respondents/total annual responses increased from 13 to 30 (+17) and the total annual burden hours increased from 520 hours to 1,200 hours (+680). This is due to increased interest in the industry for the authorization, as well as the industry’s implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework to fight illegal robocalling, where direct access to numbers was previously required for voice service providers to participate in the framework.
