 On  May  4,  2006,  the  New  Mexico  Public  Regulation  Commission  (New  Mexico  Commission)  filed  a  petition  for  delegated  authority  to  implement  additional  number  conservation  measures.  1  In  an 
 effort  to  extend  the  life  of  the  505  numbering  plan  area  (NPA),  the  New  Mexico  Commission  requests  delegated  authority  to  implement  mandatory  thousands-  block  number  pooling  in  local  number  portability 
 (LNP)-  capable  rate  centers  in  rural  areas  of  the  state.  The  New  Mexico  Commission  indicates  that  it  is  a  single  NPA  state  and  that  the  authority  to  ensure  that  numbers  are  assigned  in  one  thousand  blocks  rather 
 than  blocks  of  ten  thousand  would  utilize  existing  numbering  resources  that  would  otherwise  remain  stranded  and  prolong  the  life  of  the  505  NPA.  That  NPA  is  projected  to  exhaust  in  the  first  quarter  of 
 2009. 
 This  Public  Notice  establishes  certain  procedural  requirements  relating  to  consideration  of  the  New  Mexico  Commission  request.  This  matter  shall  be  treated  as  a  “permit-  but-  disclose”  proceeding  in 


 accordance  with  the  Commission’s  ex  parte  rules.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  1.1200,  1.1206.  Persons  making  oral  ex  parte  presentations  are  reminded  that  memoranda  summarizing  the  presentations  must  contain 
 summaries  of  the  substance  of  the  presentations  and  not  merely  a  listing  of  the  subjects  discussed.  More  than  a  one  or  two  sentence  description  of  the  views  and  arguments  presented  is  generally  required.  See 
 47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.1206(  b).  Other  requirements  pertaining  to  oral  and  written  ex  parte  presentations  in  permit-but-  disclose  proceedings  are  set  forth  in  section  1.1206(  b)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  § 
 1.1206(  b). 
 Pursuant  to  sections  1.415  and  1.419  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R  §§  1.  415,  1.  419,  interested  parties  may  file  comments  on  or  before  August  14,  2006  and  reply  comments  on  or  before
