RE:Numbering "Safety Valve" request for Teleport Communications America, LLC
("TCAL")
Dear Ms. Hall:
On behalf of Teleport Communications America, LLC ("TCAL"), we respectfully
request that the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") review the decision of the
NeuStar Pooling Administration ("PA") denying TCAL's application for three thousand-blocks
of numbers to be used to serve a large business customer in the Caldwell rate center.
This request is based on the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules per 47
C.F.R. 52J5(9@) and pursuant to the Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X) Pooling
Administration Guidelines and the Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guidelines published
by the Industry Numbering Committee ("INC").
The customer is requesting 3,000 numbers for the Caldwell rate center. TCAL has
developed a communications plan that the customer will implement and assign the numbers as
soon as they are made available. A copy of the customer's Letter of Intent ("LOf') is attached as
ATTACHMENT A. This document is considered CONFIDENTIAL and therefore has been
printed on yellow paper and sealed in an envelope attached to this letter.
TCAL respectfully requests that the Idaho Commission overturn the PA's decision
expeditiously in the interest of our customer, as we are unable to satisfy the numbering needs
On December 2L,2018, TCAL submitted the "Thousand Block Application Form Part
lA" to the PA for 3,000 numbers (ATTACHMENT B). TCAL received a denial error message
indicating the request did not "meet the MTE ("months-to-exhaust") and Utilization
requirements" and advised that TCAL could request a state waiver from the Idaho Commission if
not in agreement with the decision. While TCAL met the MTE threshold, it did not meet the
Utilization requirement. Documentation of this request/denial is enclosed. TCAL curently owns
only 208-504-l with approximately 860 available numbers, far short of the 3,000 numbers
requested by the customer.
of this customer without such an exception. There are not currently three contiguous blocks (i.e.
3,000 contiguous numbers) in the Caldwell inventory pool, and so a new code will need to be
opened.
Any correspondence with the PA in this matter may be brought to the attention of the PA
responsible for the geography in question:
