RE:TC SYSTEMS,INC.(“TCS”)PETITION FOR A SAFETY VALVE
WAIVER OF FCC THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS FOR NUMBERING
RESOURCES IN IDAHO’S BOISE MAIN RATE CENTER;CASE NO.
TCS-T-13-01.
BACKGROUND
On May 22,2013,the Commission received a Petition for a Safety valve waiver of
numbering resource guidelines from TC Systems,Inc.(“TCS”).The Safety Valve was filed
following Neustar’s denial of the Company’s Application for additional numbering resources in
the Boise main rate center.In this Petition,TCS indicated that on May 10,2013,it had requested
an additional three one-thousands blocks of numbers in the Boise main rate center.The
Company flied its request with Neustar on behalf of a customer in the Boise area.
IC System’s Neustar Application was denied due to the “Months To Exhaust”(MTE)
calculation for the rate center.According to the report,the IvITE for the Boise rate center
exceeds the FCC guidelines.’Moreover,TCS’s customer requested a specific sequential
thousands-block of 208-333,3,4,and 5,which are currently reserved pending the approval of
this Safety Valve request.
To be assigned an additional thousands-block (NXX-X)for growth,“Months to Exhaust”must be less than or
equal to 6 months.(FCC 00-104,Section 52.15 (g)(3)(iii)).
DECISION MEMORANDUM I JUNE II,2013
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the request for the Safety Valve waiver of the “months to exhaust”
threshold requirements and believes it is reasonable for the customer’s business plan.
RECOMMENDATION

numbers be granted to TCS for its customer.Specifically,Staff recommends that the reserved
NPA NXX X (208-333-3,4 and 5)be released to TCS for its Boise rate center customer.
