§ 52.26 NANC Recommendations on Local Number Portability Administration.
(a) Local number portability administration shall comply with the
recommendations of the North American Numbering Council (NANC) as set
forth in the report to the Commission prepared by the NANC's Local
Number Portability Administration Selection Working Group, dated April
25, 1997 ( Working Group Report ) and its appendices, which are
incorporated by reference pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part
51. Except that: Section 7.10 of Appendix D and the following portions
of Appendix E: Section 7, Issue Statement I of Appendix A, and Appendix
B in the Working Group Report are not incorporated herein.
(b) In addition to the requirements set forth in the Working Group
Report , the following requirements are established:
(1) If a telecommunictions carrier transmits a telephone call to a
local exchange carrier's switch that contains any ported numbers, and
the telecommunications carrier has failed to perform a database query
to determine if the telephone number has been ported to another local
exchange carrier, the local exchange carrier may block the unqueried
call only if performing the database query is likely to impair network
reliability;
(2) The regional limited liability companies (LLCs), already
established by telecommunications carriers in each of the original Bell
Operating Company regions, shall manage and oversee the local number
portability administrators, subject to review by the NANC, but only on
an interim basis, until the conclusion of a rulemaking to examine the
issue of local number portability administrator oversight and
management and the question of whether the LLCs should continue to act
in this capacity; and
(3) The NANC shall provide ongoing oversight of number portability
administration, including oversight of the regional LLCs, subject to
Commission review. Parties shall attempt to resolve issues regarding
number portability deployment among themselves and, if necessary, under
the auspices of the NANC. If any party objects to the NANC's proposed
resolution, the NANC shall issue a written report summarizing the
positions of the parties and the basis for the recommendation adopted
by the NANC. The NANC Chair shall submit its proposed resolution of the
dispuited issue to the Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau as a
recommendation for Commission review. The Chief of the Wireline
Competition Bureau will place the NANC's proposed resolution on public
notice. Recommendations adopted by the NANC and forwarded to the Bureau
may be implemented by the parties pending review of the recommendation.
Within 90 days of the conclusion of the comment cycle, the Chief of the
Wireline Competition Bureau may issue an order adopting, modifying, or
rejecting the recommendation. If the Chief does not act within 90 days
of the conclusion of the comment cycle, the recommendation will be
deemed to have been adopted by the Bureau.
(c) The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by
reference in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies
