Report and RecommendationPAS Forecasting
Requirements

• Investigated and analyzed PAS requirements
• Determined whether requirements or guidelines
  intended to require PAS to create an environment
  where block applicants would be
• Denied resources if the quantity of blocks
  requested in a particular month exceeded the
  quantity of blocks forecasted and,
• Required to submit a replacement forecasted
  before applying for additional blocks.
• Concluded that the PAS design conflicts with
  stated requirements.
• Recommendation
• That PAS be modified to allow applicants to be
  assigned thousands blocks if there is a
  sufficient supply of blocks in the pool.
  Concluded that applicants are not required to
  update their forecast even if they are requesting
  more blocks than was forecasted for a particular
  month.

Status NANPA 2001-2002Performance Improvement
Plan

• PIP 1 - Code Administration System (CAS)
• Working on CAS changes
• Insert negative numbers (code returns) when
  preparing the code application Months-To-Exhaust
  (MTE) worksheet
• Specify more than on NPA when applying for a code
  in an overlay environment
• Designing email campaign targeted at Part 1
  Applicants who still do not use CAS to increase
  CAS usage beyond the current level of 30.
• Studying ways to contact SPs to initiate data
  (CAS, LERG and NRUF) discrepancies project, 792
  OCN mismatches - considered most critical
  discrepancies.
• Still developing a plan for reconciling CAS
  capabilities with original Lockheed Martin
  proposal.
• PIP 2 - NANPA Web Site
• Added new navigational assistance page
• Still working on search engine.
• PIP 3 - Code Administration
• A new Performance Metric (PM) added to measure
  code rejects
• WG reached agreement that the mechanization of
  the application process for CIC, 500, 900 and 555
  resources should be tabled at this time. There is
  a lot of interaction between the NANPA and
  applicants using paper, which if eliminated,
  would greatly inhibit NANPAs ability to perform
  the checks and balances required.

Status NANPA 2001-2002Performance Improvement
Plan

• PIP 4 - Relief Planning
• Checklist developed for standard package of
  information to be used at all initial relief
  planning meetings to ensure uniformity
• Standardized Planning Letter (PL) proposed and is
  under development based upon input by the
  industry, the NAOWG and NANPA.
• PIP 5 - NRUF
• NANPA agreed to send monthly updated NRUF
  information to states desiring new reports when a
  SP provides new NRUF data. In some instances in
  the past, SPs had been approached by PUCs who had
  old reports that did not reflect the latest SP
  information
• PIP 6 - Measurements
• Three new Performance Metrics (PM) were added to
  the NRUF metric report to track NANPAs
  performance. Most notable is providing timely
  notification to SPs that need to provide
  additional NRUF data
• PIP 7 - General
• NANPA has performed and participated in several
  activities in support of this PIP which tracks
  NANPAs ability to take leadership roles on
  numbering issues that affect administration and
  distribute and explain FCC directives regarding
  numbering administration.
