Section 251(b)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended requires LECs to âprovide, to the extent technically feasible, number portability in accordance with requirements prescribed by the Commission.â Through the LNP process, consumers have the ability to retain their phone number when switching telecommunications service providers, enabling them to choose a provider that best suits their needs and enhancing competition. In the Porting Interval Order and Further Notice, the Commission mandated a one business day porting interval for simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal port requests. The information collected in the standard local service request data fields is necessary to complete simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal ports within the one business day porting interval mandated by the by the Commission and will be used to comply with Section 251 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The Commission is reporting program changes/decreases to this revised information collection. We have eliminated references in this collection to petitions to extend the implementation deadline, as the time frame for filing such petitions has expired. Thus, the portion of the hours burden estimate attributable to such petitions is no longer relevant, and has been removed from the estimate. As a result, the total number of respondents decreased by -5, the total annual responses decreased by -5 and the total annual burden hours decreased by -50 hours.
No adjustments are being reported to this information collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
