This report covers Commission decisions and events related to the telecommunications industry from September 2009 through August 2010. Despite over a decade of number conservation efforts on the part of the Commission and the industry, the Commission was required to develop measures to introduce a new area code in eastern Nebraska. The exhaustion of assignable telephone numbers in the Code was forecasted to occur around March 2011. Therefore, the Commission has been working diligently with industry since the beginning of 2010 to educate consumers about the implementation of the new 531 Area Code overlay in eastern Nebraska, as well as the associated mandatory 10-digit dialing. The 308 Area Code is currently forecasted to have sufficient numbering resources well beyond the next 20 years. Last year the Commission was designated by Governor Heineman as the State entity to apply for and administer funding for a broadband mapping and planning project as part of the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Earlier this year, the Commission was approved for $2.1 million in stimulus funding to increase broadband access and adoption throughout the State. This award consisted of approximately $1.6 million to collect, integrate, verify and map broadband availability throughout the state and $500,000 for a broadband planning project. The broadband planning project is a collaborative effort led by the Nebraska Information Technology Commission’s Community Council, University of Nebraska – Lincoln Extension and Nebraska Department of Economic Development. In addition, the Commission was designated as the E911 Coordinator by Governor Heineman last year in order to implement E911 services and apply for available grant funds under the Ensuring Needed Help Arrives Near Callers Employing 911 Act of 2004. The Commission was awarded $484,000 under the Act’s grant program to purchase and install equipment and software for the provision of Phase II 911 service in Morrill County, Garden County, Region 24, and Pierce County. Funds will also be used for intertandem trunking between the selective routers in Scottsbluff and Grand Island. This report contains more detailed information regarding these as well as other telecommunications topics. If you have any questions, contact our Commissioners or staff. Sincerely, Gerald L.

  • Approval of a Relief Plan for the 2?0 Area Code ("270 NPA"). Neustar Functions As The
    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: APPLICATION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN ) NUMBERING PLAN ADMINISTRATOR, ON ) ADMINISTRATIVE BEHALF OF THE KENTUCKY ) CASE NO. TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, FOR ) 2012-00129 RELIEF OF THE 270 NUMBERING PLAN AREA ) ORDER On April 2, 2012, Neustar, lnc. ("Neustar") submitted to the Commission an application on behalf of the Kentucky telecommunications industry ("Industry" ) for approval of a relief plan for the 2?0 Area Code ("270 NPA"). Neustar functions as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator ("NANPA") pursuant to a contract with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), which has ultimate authority over the North American Numbering Plan. In its filing with the Commission, NANPA estimated that the supply of Central Office ("CO") prefixes available within the 270 NPA would be exhausted by the first quarter of 2015." The application filed by NANPA reflected Industry's consensus decision to recommend an alt-services distributed overlay plan as its preferred method of relief for the 270 area code. Thus, on August 30, 2012, the Commission opened this administrative case to develop a 270 NPA relief plan. Since the filing of its application, NANPA released the October 2012 Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast, which now estimates that the 270 NPA will be exhausted during the first quarter of 2014. BACKGROUND NANPA first submitted an application for relief of the 270 NPA on July 25, 2001.'umbering conservation measures taken by the FCC and the Commission, along with reduced historical and projected demand for numbering resources by industry members, contributed to extending the projected exhaust date, which led to the Commission's closing of the matter.

  • Chapter 4: Growth Management and Land
    The County is noted for its rural character and natural beauty, its winding rivers and scenic mountains, and its sense of community. Land Use and Development Warren County Introduction Warren County is characterized by the central Town of Front Royal and a number of compact rural settlements scattered in a landscape of farmlands, woodlands, rivers, and mountains. The County is noted for its rural character and natural beauty, its winding rivers and scenic mountains, and its sense of community. The increased population growth spreading out from the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area has brought changes, welcomed by many, lamented by others, and recognized by all. The new growth also has brought increased traffic, declines in the natural environment, increasing demands on limited services, and declining agricultural, open, and forestal lands. 2013 Comprehensive Plan Growth Management and Land Use Introduction Presently Warren County contains seven main land use categories: National Park, 14,090 acres; National Forest, 6,197 acres; State Park, 1,627 acres; agricultural, 88,331 acres; residential, 11,721 acres; commercial, 846 acres; industrial, 1,753 acres; and rural villages, approximately 110 acres. These figures are, however, somewhat deceiving since many existing uses within zoning categories do not conform to their description. For instance, much of the County's residential development is on two-acre lots zoned as agricultural land (Map 4.1 Generalized Existing Current Land Use). New growth management strategies should clarify the zoning categories to prevent incompatible overlaps and to define those areas suitable for specific types of development. Growth management shall be a coordinated effort by County government to achieve a more efficient pattern for future development, in accordance with a community comprehensive land use plan.

    NPA 289/905 RELIEF PLANNING COMMITTEE - TIF REPORT Date Submitted: 7 December 2009 WORKING GROUP: NPA 289/905 Relief Planning Committee (Ad Hoc) REPORT #: NPA 289/905 TIF Report 1 File ID: 289-905RE1A.doc REPORT TITLE: Relief Planning Committee (RPC) Recommendation for the NPA 289/905 Planning Document and Relief Implementation Plan OUTCOME: Consensus RELATED TASK(s) #: None BACKGROUND: On 28 May 2009, the CRTC issued Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2009-310 Establishment of a CISC ad hoc committee for area code relief planning for area codes 289 and 905 in southern Ontario, in which it established the CISC ad hoc Relief Planning Committee (RPC) for NPA 289/905. The NPA 289/905 RPC developed the attached Planning Document (PD) which was prepared in accordance with the CRTC-approved Canadian NPA Relief Planning Guideline dated 2 June 2009. The purpose of the PD is to identify and assess NPA 289/905 Relief Options and to make recommendations to the CISC and CRTC for the preferred relief method for NPA 289/905. Based on the assessment of Relief Options and other issues contained in the PD, the RPC submits the attached PD to the CISC and CRTC for approval. The PD contains various recommendations including but not limited to the following: 1) The Relief Option should be a distributed overlay of a new NPA Code on NPA 289/905 (option 4a); 2) NPA Code 365 should be used for the Relief NPA Code for NPA 289/905; 3) NPA Code 742 should be reserved for subsequent relief in the 365/289/905 region as the 289/905 region has been forecast in the latest R-NRUF (June 2009) to exhaust twice in the next 26 years; 4) The Relief Date should be 24 October 2015 in order to provide Carriers and customers with advance notification and sufficient lead-time to implement relief, which would be 12 months in advance of the current Projected Exhaust Date; 5) The local dialling plan should remain as 10 digits for all local calls originating within the NPA 289/905 area.
