Qwest petitions the Commission for review of the denial by the administrator ofthe North American Numbering Plan, NeuStar, of Qwest's application for use of central office code numbering resources in area code 208. REQUEST for WAIVER - 1 - Specifically, Qwest requests waiver ofthe utilization threshold requirements outlined in the FCC's Numbering Resource Optimization Orders, FCC 00-429 and FCC 01-362 released in CC Docket No. 99-200. Such waiver would allow NeuStar the authority to provide 10 000 numbers, a full NXX, to Qwest. The 10 000 numbers in question are in the 208 NP A in the Boise Rate Center, and are required to meet a specific customer need in the Boise community. The customer requires 10 sequential blocks of numbers in any NXX ending in digit 1 or 2. Qwest's customer needs these numbers as soon as possible, and will begin using them as soon as this Request for Waiver is granted and the numbers are released for service. These numbers will be added to existing inventory to accommodate expansion and growth of new services. Once the new numbers are put into service, the customer plans to return 1 000 of their existing numbers. The customer s request is attached to this Request for Waiver as Confidential Attachment A. On August 9, 2007 Qwest submitted the customer s request for numbering resources to NeuStar. The request was immediately denied due to the "months to exhaust" calculation for the Boise Rate Center. See Attachment B. The waiver request here is for the "months to exhaust" usage threshold for numbering requests. The FCC permits a waiver of the kind requested here when there is a demonstrated need, such as a specific customer request for numbers. The waiver process is specifically addressed in the FCC Third Report and Order ("Order ) as the "safety valve" process. See FCC 01-362, ~~57-66 (Mar. 2002). The Order delegates the REQUEST for WAIVER - 2 - authority to hear requests for waivers to the state commissioners and recommends that state commissions act expeditiously. See Id.~~ 61 66. Qwest respectfully requests that the Commission approve this Request for Waiver of the "months to exhaust" threshold requirements and direct N euStar to provide a new NXX code (i., ten blocks of 1000 numbers) in the Boise Rate Center in the 208 NP A outlined above, to meet Qwest's customer s request. Submitted this 22d day of August, 2007. Respectfully submitted !Io Mary S. bson (ISB. No. 2142) 999 Main. Suite 1103 Boise, ID 83702 Adam L.
