Oversight Working Group (NAOWG), North American Numbering Council
(NANC), or the Commission to make this business contact information
publicly available.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Participants must share their
business contact information to respond to the survey. This information
will be protected as described in the FCC-2, Business Contacts and
Certifications SORN, posted at <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/managing-director/privacy-transparency/privacy-act-information">https://www.fcc.gov/managing-director/privacy-transparency/privacy-act-information</a>. Participation in each
survey is voluntary and any participant can decline to participate at

Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval for this new information collection. This
collection of information is an annual performance satisfaction survey
of its vendor(s) acting as administrators for various telephone number
management functions. These functions may be performed by one or
multiple vendors under one or multiple contracts. The vendor(s) act
pursuant to their contract(s) with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the FCC's numbering rules. See 47 CFR 52.1 et seq.
The survey will be designed and administered by the Numbering
Administration Oversight Working Group (NAOWG) of the North American
Numbering Council (NANC). The NANC is a Federal Advisory Committee
established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The NANC advises
the
[[Page 51670]]
FCC and makes recommendations, reached through consensus, that foster
efficient and impartial number administration. The NANC is composed of
representatives of telecommunications carriers, regulators, cable
providers, Voice Over internet Protocol (VoIP) providers, industry
associations, vendors, and consumer advocates. Working groups,
including the NAOWG, made up of industry experts, have been established
by the NANC to assist in its efforts. The NANC charter can be found at
<a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-375774A1.pdf">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-375774A1.pdf</a>.
The relevant contract(s) require that the Commission and/or its
designee shall develop and conduct a performance survey for each
administrator. The results of this consumer satisfaction survey will
provide the FCC with indicators on how well the vendor(s) are acting as
the North American Numbering Program Administrator (NANPA), Pooling
Administrator (PA), Routing Number Administrator (RNA) and Reassigned
Numbering Database Administrator (RNDA) is meeting its contractual
obligations and accomplishing its mission as the NANPA/PA/RNA/RNDA.
