[[Page 35390]]

amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal 
Communications Commission (``FCC'' or ``Commission'') was given 
``exclusive jurisdiction'' over those portions of the North American 
Numbering Plan (NANP) that pertain to the United States.'' To ensure 
that the numbering resources of the NANP continue to be used 
efficiently, the Commission requires that applications to state 
commissions from carriers must demonstrate that certain requirements 
are met before states grant any use of the safety valve mechanisms. It 
also requires that State commissions seeking to implement service-
specific and/or technology-specific area code overlays must request 
delegated authority to do so. The information collected by the FCC and 
state commissions will be used to assist these regulatory bodies in 
their efforts to maximize the efficiency with which numbering resources 
in the NANP are utilized. The Commission notes that the Reporting 
Requirements for Federal Cost Recovery information collection 
requirement was a ``one time'' requirement that expired.* * *
