Needs and Uses: In the Third Report and Order issued in CC Docket
No. 95-116, the Commission implements, for long-term number portability
costs, the statutory requirement that all telecommunications carriers
bear the costs of number portability on a competitively neutral basis,
as set forth in Section 251(e)(2) of the Telecommunications Act of
1996. The Third Report and Order requires telecommunications carriers
to provide the information about their international and regional end-
user telecommunications revenues that will enable the regional database
administrator to allocate the costs of the number portability regional
databases in a competitively neutral manner. FCC Form 487, LNP
Worksheet is designed to capture this information. The Third Report and
Order requires incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to maintain
records that detail both the nature and specific amount of these
carrier-specific costs that are directly related to number portability,
and those carrier-specific costs that are not directly related to
number portability.

Federal Communications Commission.
