Form 502: North American Numbering Plan Numbering Resource Utilization/Forecast Report

Section 52.15(f) of the Commission’s rules requires carriers that receive numbers from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (“NANPA”), pooling administrator, or other carrier, to file the Form 502 to report numbering usage and forecast future numbering resource needs.  Carriers must report on utilization of their current inventory of numbering resources and submit to the NANPA a forecast of the carrier’s yearly numbering resource requirements.

Form 480: Quarterly Rural Call Completion Data Filing

The FCC collects data from originating long distance providers four times a year on Form 480. This information concerns the delivery of calls to Rural Local Exchange Carriers and is used to identify possible areas for further inquiry.  The reporting requirement applies to all providers of long-distance voice service that make the initial long-distance call path choice for more than 100,000 domestic retail subscriber lines.  The line count is determined by considering the total of all business and residential fixed subscriber lines and mobile phones and aggregated over all of the providers’ affiliates.  Covered providers may include local exchange carriers, interexchange carriers, commercial mobile radio service providers, and providers of interconnected and non-interconnected VoIP services.  The Form 480 filing must be completed online through the FCC’s web-based interface, available here: https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/rcc/home.action.  (Note that an FRN is required to access the system.)
