§ 64.613   Numbering directory for Internet-based TRS users.

   (a) TRS Numbering Directory. (1) The TRS Numbering Directory shall contain
   records mapping the geographically appropriate NANP telephone number of each
   Registered Internet-based TRS User to a unique Uniform Resource Identifier
   (URI).

   (2) For each record associated with a VRS user's geographically appropriate
   NANP telephone number, the URI shall contain the IP address of the user's
   device. For each record associated with an IP Relay user's geographically
   appropriate NANP telephone number, the URI shall contain the user's user
   name and domain name that can be subsequently resolved to reach the user.

   (3) Within one year after the effective date of this Order, Internet-based
   TRS providers must ensure that a user's toll free number that is associated
   with a geographically appropriate NANP number will be associated with the
   same URI as that geographically appropriate NANP telephone number.

   (4) Only the TRS Numbering Administrator and Internet-based TRS providers
   may access the TRS Numbering Directory.

   (b) Administration—(1) Neutrality. (i) The TRS Numbering Administrator shall
   be a non-governmental entity that is impartial and not an affiliate of any
   Internet-based TRS provider.

   (ii) Neither the TRS Numbering Administrator nor any affiliate may issue a
   majority of its debt to, nor derive a majority of its revenues from, any
   Internet-based TRS provider.

   (iii) Nor may the TRS Numbering Administrator nor any affiliate be unduly
   influenced,  as determined by the North American Numbering Council, by
   parties with a vested interest in the outcome of TRS-related numbering
   administration and activities.

   (iv) Any subcontractor that performs any function of the TRS Numbering
   Administrator must also meet these neutrality criteria.

   (2)  Terms  of  Administration.  The TRS Numbering Administrator shall
   administer  the  TRS  Numbering Directory pursuant to the terms of its
   contract.

   (3) Compensation. The TRS Fund, as defined by 47 CFR 64.604(a)(5)(iii), may
   compensate the TRS Numbering Administrator for the reasonable costs of
   administration pursuant to the terms of its contract.
