Supporting Documentation for New p-ANI Requests

As a reminder, when requesting p-ANIs, you must demonstrate that your company is permitted under applicable law to access p-ANI resources in the area for which the p-ANI resources are sought by submitting one of the following documents to the RNA at the time the new p-ANI request is submitted:

  • A wireless service provider applicant shall provide the RNA a copy of its FCC license, showing that it is authorized to provide service in the area in which it is seeking resources. In the case that the name on the license does not match the SP’s name on the application, the applicant shall provide documentation linking the name on the application with the name on the license.
    • If a wireless service provider provides a non-exclusive 3650-3700 MHz Radio Service nationwide license, it shall also provide a 3650-3700 MHz Service Registration Acceptance Letter from the FCC to establish both that it has registered fixed sites and base stations, and the location of those sites.
  • Any entity that requires p-ANIs to comply with any state or federal order and that has been certified as a CLEC by a state shall provide the RNA a copy of its state certification showing that it is authorized to provide service in the area in which it is seeking resources.[1] In the case that the name on the CPCN does not match the SP’s name on the application, the applicant shall provide documentation linking the name on the application with the name on the CPCN.
  • An interconnected VoIP service provider applicant shall provide the RNA with a copy of its FCC nationwide authorization[2].
  • A VPC provider applicant shall provide documentation from the state or the state’s general counsel in the form of[3]:
    • An order of the commission denying certification, with the reason for the denial being that the state does not certify VPC providers, or
    • A statement from the state commission or its general counsel that it does not certify VPC providers.

If either the OCN or NENA ID company name is different than the company name listed in the document provided, you must also include additional documentation to show how these companies are affiliated.

This must accompany every request and it must include the RNAS tracking number(s) to which the documentation applies. If you are submitting multiple requests in the same day where the certification covers all requests, then only one certification is needed, however please include all RNAS tracking number(s) to which the documentation applies for.
