  1. Network Reliability and Interoperability Council Focus Group 3 April 14, 1999 Ray Albers- Bell Atlantic Focus Group III Chair

  2. Focus Group 3 Report • Network Reliability Steering Committee • 4Q98 Highlights • Subcommittee I- Best Practices • Review/Evaluation • Subcommittee 2- Data Analysis/Future • Considerations

  3. NRSC Governance Model Network Reliability Focus Group

  4. NRSC Highlights • (details: www.atis.org/atis/nrsc/document.htm) • All Failure Categories in the “Green,” but: • Procedural Error outages and outage • index in the “Red” and “Yellow” areas • respectively • NRSC Procedural Errors Team is • addressing • Report will be issued this quarter.

  5. FCC Reportable Outages through 4Q98 (by number of events)

  6. FCC Reportable Outages- 4Q98 (by failure category)

  7. Procedural Error Attributed Outages through 4Q98 (by number of events)

  8. Procedural and Non-Procedural Error Outages by Report Year

  9. “One Call” Law passed

  10. Impact of “One-Call” Legislation • Too Early to Tell • Passed into law in June 1998 • DOT Office of Pipeline Safety is studying • one-call system best practices • 9 Task Teams established in 11/98 • Multi-industry participation • NRSC Facilities Solutions Team is participating • Final Report due in June 1999 • States may apply for grants (FY2000-$1M, • FY2001-$5M) for one-call systems that • adopt best practices.

  11. Subcommittee 1- Best Practices • Updated and consolidated best practices to • meet needs of traditional wireline carriers and • to apply to new service providers and technologies, e.g. ATM, WDM/DWDM, VoIP, • LMDS, WLL, xDSL, Packet. • Survey to judge the implementation and effectiveness of best practices (4/99). • Emphasize Power, Facilities and E911 • Preliminary report due July 1999

  12. Subcommittee 2- Data Analysis/Future Considerations • Scope: • analyze effectiveness of current outage reporting criteria and data • suggest appropriate clarifications (especially for incidents on • sub-network or leased capacity situations) • identify additional industry segments (e.g., cable, Internet • Service Provider, satellite, and wireless) and tools that the • Commission may need to consider for inclusion in the • reporting criteria • assess the likely impact of new and changing technologies • and services (e.g., internet services, ATM, Frame Relay) on • network reliability • review and consider similar efforts underway (e.g., CIAO • Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office)

  13. Data Analysis/Future Considerations- cntd • Subteams are working on each element • Interface team • Current Process team • Future Considerations team • Recommendation team • Data questionnaire will be sent to new industry • members to assess the level of outage analysis • and information sharing in their industry • Initial Report -- July NRIC meeting • Final Report -- October NRIC meeting
