12. E-911

Our Guidelines require an exiting CLEC to unlock all of its telephone numbers in the E-911 database, consistent with the National Emergency Numbering Association's standards. This will allow any new local service provider access to its new end users' E-911 records. An exiting CLEC must also submit a letter to the appropriate E-911 service provider at least 30 days prior to exiting the market authorizing the E-911 service provider to unlock any remaining E-911 records after the CLEC has exited the market. In its application, TWCIS states that, to the extent necessary, it will unlock all of its telephone numbers in the E-911 database. TWCIS also asserts that it will submit a letter to the appropriate E-911 service provider, 30 days prior to its proposed discontinuance date,¹⁵ authorizing the unlocking of remaining E-911 records after TWCIS has exited the market. Consequently, we direct TWCIS to file a copy of the letter it submits to the E-911 service provider. With the filing of the letter, Applicant meets our E-911 requirement.
