American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) or the Pooling 
Administrator, duplicate the data for state commissions upon request, 
and that to request a ``for cause'' audit of a carrier, the NANPA, the 
Pooling Administrator, or a state commission must draft a request to 
the auditor stating the reason for the request, i.e., as misleading or 
inaccurate data, and attach supporting documentation. The FCC, state 
commissions, the NANPA, and the Pooling Administrator use this 
information to verify the validity and accuracy of the data to assist 
state commissions in carrying out their numbering responsibilities, 
i.e., as area code relief.
