Additional U.S. Requirements
All Applicants must provide evidence of (i) Workers Compensation insurance for all states that require coverage and (ii) commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability and products liability coverage) with combined single limits of at least $2,000,000 in the general aggregate for bodily injury and property damage. With respect to commercial general liability insurance, Applicant must furnish evidence that its insurance policies are endorsed to name Neustar, Inc. as an additional insured and state that “Neustar, Inc. is to be notified in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to any cancellation of, or change in, the coverage limits.”
If you are applying as a Telecommunications Service Provider, you also must provide:
- Your Operating Carrier Number (OCN) in the Application. An OCN may be obtained from NECA’s Company Code Administrator at http://www.neca.org or 973-884-8249.
- Provide evidence of State operating authority (e.g., Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity) from the State regulatory agency (e.g. PUC) for one State in each NPAC/SMS Service Area for which NPAC/SMS service is desired for wireline applicants. Evidence of an FCC radio license in one location in each NPAC/SMS Service Area for which NPAC/SMS service is desired for wireless applicants.
If you are applying to become authorized to receive NPAC data from a third party (rather than gain direct access to NPAC data), the email will include information on completing the registration process.
An Applicant’s access to any of the regional NPACs is conditioned upon execution of an NPAC/SMS User Agreement. Upon such execution of an NPAC/SMS User Agreement, Applicant is considered a “User” of the regional NPAC for which the NPAC/SMS User Agreement is executed. Subject to the master agreements between Neustar, as the administrator of the regional NPACs, and the North American Portability Management LLC, with responsibility (recognized by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission) for implementing telephone number portability in the U.S., the NPAC/SMS User Agreement grants Users limited rights concerning and imposes certain restrictions with respect to access to and use of data Neustar maintains in the various, regional NPAC/SMSs.
