 NUMBERING  RESOURCE  UTILIZATION  AND  FORECAST  (NRUF)  REPORTS  PLACED  INTO  THE  RECORD,  SUBJECT  TO  PROTECTIVE  ORDER 


 WC  Docket  No.  05-  65  CC  Docket  No.  99-  200 
 SBC  Communications  Inc.  (“  SBC”)  and  AT&  T  Corp.  (“  AT&  T”)  (collectively,  the  “Applicants”)  have  filed  a  series  of  applications  pursuant  to  Sections  214  and  310(  d)  of  the  Communications  Act  of 
 1934,  as  amended  (the  “Communications  Act”).  1  In  these  applications,  the  Applicants  generally  seek  Commission  approval  for  the  transfer  of  control  to  SBC  of  the  licenses  and  authorizations  held  both 
 directly  and  indirectly  by  AT&  T.  In  connection  with  the  Commission’s  review  of  the  applications,  the  Commission  intends  to  examine  information  contained  in  the  Numbering  Resource  Utilization  and 
 Forecast  (“  NRUF”)  reports  filed  by  wireless  telecommunications  carriers.  2  These  data  may  assist  the  Commission  in  assessing  the  competitive  effects  of  the  transaction.  Accordingly,  subject  to  the 
 provisions  of  the  Second  Protective  Order  adopted  in  the  merger  proceeding,  3  the  Commission  intends  to  place  into  the  record  a  database  containing  NRUF  data  for  all  wireless  telecommunications  carriers  within 
 SBC’s  territories  with  data  as  of  December  31,  2004. 
 Section  251  of  the  Communications  Act  grants  the  Commission  jurisdiction  over  the  North  American  Numbering  Plan  (“  NANP”)  and  related  telephone  numbering  issues.  In  order  to  better  monitor 
 the  way  numbering  resources  are  used  within  the  NANP  and  efficiently  allocate  NANP  resources,  the  Commission  requires  telecommunications  carriers  to  provide  the  Commission  with  a  utilization  report  of 
 their  current  inventory  of  telephone  numbers  and  a  five-  year  forecast  of  their  numbering  resource  requirements.  4
