Reviewing All Information Before Submission

Settlements Administration

ICORE assists many companies with their reporting requirements to NECA, USAC and various state organizations. We carefully review all information before submission, assuring the timeliness and accuracy of interstate average schedule and cost settlements, USF payments, and intrastate revenues.

Please call Chris Ulmer at 610-928-3903 to discuss how we might assist you with these requirements.

Services 5

Tariff Development &

Filing

Traffic Sensitive (TS) 61.39 tariff filings based on historic average schedule or cost settlements have been extremely beneficial to many small LECs. Average schedule companies choosing this option retain their average schedule status, and any LEC exiting NECA’s TS Pool can opt back in at the next election date, if conditions change.



Average schedule changes, as well as individual company changes, may make a TS tariff filing advantageous. ICORE has its own TS Tariff on file with the FCC, so we need only develop your company’s specific rates, and then include them in our tariff. This makes the process more efficient, and far less costly.



ICORE also develops and files CLEC and IXC tariffs, as well as assisting ILECs with local and other tariffs. Similar to our ILEC TS tariff, ICORE also has a CLEC tariff which is on file with the FCC. This makes CLEC filings more efficient and cost affective.



Please contact Tina Bobbyn at 610-928-3918 to discuss any of your tariff requirements.

Reassigned Numbers Database

RND Services

All carriers – wireline, wireless, and interconnected VoIP providers – that receive numbering resources from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), or another telecommunications carrier are required to track and report permanently disconnected telephone numbers every month with the last date of permanent disconnection to the Reassigned Numbers Database (RND). The RND Database is operated and maintained by SomosGov, Inc.

The purpose of the RND is to establish a database of phone numbers that have been permanently disconnected and possibly reassigned and hopefully prevent consumers from receiving unwanted calls intended for someone who previously held their number. Callers, such as pharmacies and financial institutions, will be able to verify, before calling a number, whether it’s been permanently disconnected and therefore should not be called.

ICORE has a direct interface with the RND Database and can submit the Monthly Disconnect Reports (due on the 15th of every month) on behalf of Service Providers.

Please contact Don Snyder at 610-928-3906.
