18、umbers within the 800-855-XXXX resource, hereafter called 800-855 numbers, which will only be used for the purpose of accessing public services on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) intended for the deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired. 1.1 For the purposes of these guidelines services
19、 for the deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired will be defined as those which are used generally to benefit this particular user community, e.g., services used by deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired persons to access a Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS), Message Relay Service (MRS) or an
20、y other entity via text telephone service (TTY). 1.2 These guidelines were developed by industry consensus process under the auspices of the Industry Numbering Committee (INC). These guidelines are expected to apply throughout the NANP area unless the affected administrations direct otherwise. 1.3 T
21、hese guidelines do not supersede controlling appropriate NANP area governmental or regulatory principles, procedures and requirements. 2.0 Assumptions and Constraints The development of these guidelines include the following assumptions and constraints: 2.1 NANP resources, including those covered in
22、 these guidelines, are collectively managed by the North American Telecommunications industry with oversight of the North American federal regulatory authorities. The NANP and the NANP resources are developed in conformance with the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunications Standardiz
23、ation Sector (ITU-T) recommendations including E.164 “The international public telecommunication numbering plan.” 1 The NANP resources are considered a public resource and are not owned by the assignees. Consequently, the resources cannot be sold, brokered, bartered, or leased by the assignee for a
24、fee or other consideration. If a resource is sold, brokered, bartered, or leased for a fee, the resource is subject to reclamation by the Administrator. 1 http:/www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-E.164/en 800-855 Number Assignment Guidelines ATIS-0300047 September 30, 2011 Page 3 of 17 _ 2.2 To provide control o
25、ver the 800-855 number assignment and to guarantee, to the extent possible, the dedicated use of 800-855 numbers according to these guidelines, the 800-855 numbers will remain unavailable for normal assignment or reservation through the 800/SMS system. 2.3 The 800-855 resource shall be assigned to p
26、ermit the most effective and efficient use of a finite numbering resource. As such, periodic audits of an applicants use of assigned 855 numbers will be performed by the number administrator to ensure compliance with these guidelines. 2.4 800-855 numbers will be assigned by North American Numbering
27、Plan administration (NANPA), acting as the number administrator, according to the criteria specified in these guidelines. 2.5 The holder/applicant of the 800-855 number must be licensed or certified to operate in the area, if required, and must demonstrate that all applicable regulatory authority re
28、quired to provide services for the deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired has been obtained. 2.6 The guidelines should provide the greatest latitude in the provision of public telecommunications services for the deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired while managing a finite resource. 2.7 These g
29、uidelines treat only the assignment of 800-855 numbers and not their implementation, which is beyond the scope of these guidelines. 2.8 The assignment of 800-855 numbers for the purposes as set forth in these guidelines shall remain in effect until there is industry consensus and/or regulatory polic
30、y direction to change these assignment guidelines. 2.9 The administrative assignment of the 800-855 number, as a public resource, does not imply ownership of the resource by the entity performing the administrative function, nor does it imply ownership by the entity to which it is assigned. 2.10 SPs
31、 and numbering resource administrators are responsible for managing numbering resources in accordance with these guidelines and the orders of applicable regulatory authorities. Both SPs and numbering resource administrators are subject to audits. Further information may be found in 47 CFR 52.15 (k),
32、 FCC 00-104 62, FCC 00-429 81-99, and FCC 01-362 95-111 The NANP Resources assigned in this guideline are expected to be used in conformance with this guideline and the related ITU-T recommendations.
