verify the accuracy of numbering data reported on FCC Form 502 (North 
American Number Plan Numbering Resource Utilization/Forecast (NRUF) 
Report, OMB Control Number 3060-0896), and to monitor compliance with 
FCC rules, orders and applicable industry guidelines.
    Failure of the audited carriers to respond to the audits can result 
in penalties. Based on the final audit report, evidence of potential 
violations may result in enforcement action.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
