(“ GCI”). 2 In connection with the Commission’s review of these applications, the Commission intends to examine information contained in the Numbering Resource Utilization and Forecast (“ NRUF”) reports filed by wireless telecommunications carriers 3 and disaggregated, carrier- specific local number portability (“ LNP”) data related to wireless telecommunications carriers. These data may assist the Commission in assessing the competitive effects of the transaction. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of a protective order being adopted this day, the Commission intends to place into the record in this proceeding (1) NRUF reports for all wireless telecommunications carriers concerning data as of December 31, 2004 and as of June 30, 2005, and (2) wireless- to- wireless LNP data for all wireless telecommunications carriers from the December 2004 and June 2005 LNP databases that the Commission receives from NeuStar, Inc. 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 LNP data are collected by the LNP Administrator and provided to the Commission. 1 47 U.
