  2. The Law H.R 3609 • SEC. 17. NATIONWIDE TOLL-FREE NUMBER SYSTEM. Within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission, facility operators, excavators, and one-call notification system operators, provide for the establishment of a 3-digit nationwide toll-free telephone number system to be used by State one-call notification systems.

  3. The IMG • AT&T • SBC • Verizon • WorldCom

  4. Assumptions • The 3 digit number selected will translate into existing One Call numbers. • Implementation will be national in scope and uniformity. • Implementation need not start until official governmental timelines are provided. • The Originating NPA/NXX will determine the One Call number into which the 3 digit code will be translated. •  Wireline implementation will not use a # or *.

  5. Regulatory Status • The FCC and DOT are in discussion, parties involved not identified at this time. • The FCC will be issuing a NPRM on this topic/legislation in the future, don't know how near that is. The NANC will be requested to advise on particular areas, to be determined.

  6. Questions • The timeframe for implementation is not clear. Does the one year requirement stated in the PL107-355 apply to FCC/DOT action or actual deployment by carriers? • Must the dialing sequence for Wireline Service Providers be identical to that of Wireless Service Providers? • If keys # or * are part of the dialing sequence, will they count towards the three digit limit? • What is the manner in which states will purchase this service from carriers?

  7. Implementation Initial analysis suggested the following alternatives might be the most quickly implementable: • Intra-Carrier use of 811 currently associated with Business Office applications is de minimis. This N11 code could be assigned as the mandated three digit nationwide dialing sequence. • The three digit nationwide dialing sequence could be provided via an NPA from the Easily Recognizable Code (ERC) partition within the NANP. One such available code is 344.
