FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[CC Docket No. 92-237]


FCC Announces That May 14, 1997 Meeting of the North American 
Numbering Council Will Be Closed to the Public

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 28, 1997, the Commission released a public notice 
announcing that the May 14, 1997, meeting of the North American 
Numbering Council (NANC) will be closed to the public. The May 14 
meeting and its agenda had been announced in a public notice published 
in the Federal Register on March 28, 1997 (See 62 FR 14907). The 
intended effect of this action is to make the public aware that the May 
14 NANC meeting will now be closed to the public, and only NANC members 
and FCC employees may attend.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Simms, Administrative Assistant 
of the NANC, at (202) 418-2330. The address is: Network Services 
Division, Common Carrier Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 
2000 M Street, NW, Suite 235, Washington, DC 20054. The fax number is: 
(202) 418-2345. The TTY number is: (202) 418-0484.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Released: April 28, 1997.
    In response to NANC Chairman Al Hasselwander's request, FCC 
Chairman Reed Hundt, in a letter dated April 25, 1997, determined, 
``after review by the General Counsel, that the May 14 meeting of the 
NANC may be closed to the public.'' In making this determination, 
Chairman Hundt stated:

    Given that the NANC's review, at the meeting, of proposals for 
the North American Numbering Plan Administrator is likely to involve 
disclosure of `trade secrets and commercial or financial information 
obtained from a person and privileged or confidential,' the May 14 
meeting is subject to the Government in Sunshine Act's allowance for 
closure of meetings otherwise required to be open to the public. See 
GISA Section 552b(c)(4). Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 
U.S.C., App. 2 (1988) (FACA), the requirement that Federal Advisory 
Committee meetings be open to the public is, therefore, not 
applicable to the May 14 meeting of the NANC. See FACA Section 
10(d).

Agenda

    At the May 14, 1997, NANC meeting, the NANC will review the 
proposals submitted by respondents to the Requirements Document for the 
North American Numbering Plan Administrator. This review will assist 
the NANC in its final review of the recommendation for selection of a 
North American Numbering Plan Administrator.
