The provider can be restricted from obtaining additional numbering resources, and from advocating at the FCC. • Please make note that notification of Red Light Rule (RLR) change is included on the backside of Invoices distributed by B&C Agent. • The FCC issued a Public Notice on July 25, 2012 outlining the new RLR process.
