Dear Congresswoman Eshoo: 
October 23, 2017 
Thank you for your letter of July 28, 2017, inquiring into steps that the Commission 
could take to make 911 services available to more Americans in times of emergency. Your letter 
cited the potential for new Over the Top (OTT) technologies to enable consumers to make 911 
calls when cellular connections are not available. In that connection, you cited a then-pending 
petition filed with the Commission by Onvoy Spectrum, LLC (Onvoy), which claims to have 
developed such a technology and seeks access to number resources known as pseudo Automatic 
Number Identification (p-ANI) codes to support 911 calling from portable or mobile devices. 
I am pleased to inform you that on August 15, 2017, the FCC's Wireline Competition 
Bureau (Bureau) granted relief to Onvoy, finding that Onvoy meets the Commission's eligibility 
requirements for access to p-ANis and confirming that the Routing Number Authority (the entity 
responsible for p-ANI administration under the Commission's oversight) may issue to Onvoy the 
type ofp-ANI codes it requires in support of its 911 solution. A copy of the Bureau' s letter is 
attached. 
I appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any further 
assistance. 
Sincerely, (j _ e vie?_ ·
