To Whom It May Concern:

One Call Systems, International,International, on behalf of the sixty-two One Call Centers in the United States, and Verizon Wireless, the nation's leadingleading wireless provider, have agreed toto deploy 811 abbreviated dialing throughout the country where Verizon Wireless provides wireless service. 811 will connect callers toto state One Call notification systems for the purpose of providing advanced notice of excavation activities toto underground facility operators inin compliance with thethe Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 and the Federal Communications Commission's Order inin CC Docket No. 92-105; FCC No 05-59 and appropriate state and local laws.laws.

OCSI and VZW have agreed to a coordinated, national effort. This will avoid patchwork deployments and delays and will result inin 811 being implementedimplemented quickly and efficiently throughout the Country, allowing 811 calls on Verizon Wireless' network to be quickly routed in most cases to thethe intended state one callcall center. OCSI and VZW have agreed toto thethe following:

•~ OCSI accepts the responsibility for coordinating this implementation,implementation, includingincluding providing a current list of call centers, center coveragecoverage areas, and tolltoll and/or local freefree calling area numbers. •~ OCSI will make sure that each callcall center isis prepared toto handle 811 calls forwardedforwarded to its center, or toto transfer and/or redirect calls toto adjacent call centers when wireless calls originate fromfrom areas outside of the state or the call center's area. This could be accomplished either by giving out thethe adjacent call center's number or transferringtransferring thethe caller, whatever thethe call center decides.

•~ VZW agrees to make itsits best effort toto conformconform with the FCC order to route 811 calls toto thethe call center serving the geographic area the callcall is initiatedinitiated from,from, based on its switching system configuration.config uration. •e VZW will design 811 routingrouting toto best match up itsits switch coveragecoverage area to a call center area. Based on its switchswitch coverage areas and state and/or call center boundaries VZW expects to be able toto route the majority of calls toto the intendedintended call center in most cases.

* VZW and OCSI recognizerecognize thatthat VZW's switch coverage areas will not match up exactly with state and/or call center boundaries and therethere will be cases where 811 calls will be routedrouted from VZW's coverage areas outside the correspondingcorresponding state and/or call centercenter boundaries such that the calls will be routed to thethe wrong call center.

Since VZVV and OCSI plan toto implement 811 dialing inin this manner throughoutthroughout thethe country where Verizon Wireless provide wireless service, VZW will implementimplement 811 dialing as described without contract and without charge°charge. VZW plans to begin nationwide implementationimplementation inin March 2006.

OCSI has reviewed the planned implementation described with all state One Call Centers and expects thisthis letter to be shared by itsits members with statestate public utility commissions that might be considering 811 implementation matters to informinform themthem of the plan.

OCSI thanks Verizon Wireless for stepping up toto thisthis public safety issue. The majority of One Call Centers are n0nprofitsnonprofits that prevent needless damage to life and property as well as protecting critical service to their state consumers,consumers, businesses, public service, public safety, emergency services, and government.
