To help facilitate compliance with the FCC’s rural completion rules, the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau has announced that the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. (NECA) has provided an updated list of rural and nonrural operating company numbers (OCNs). Originating long-distance providers that are subject to the rural call completion rules must record, retain, and report various data on calls attempted to rural and nonrural local exchange carriers (LECs) as identified by OCN. The updated list of rural and nonrural OCNs is available for download in Microsoft excel format from NECA at the following URL: https://neca.org/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=11187&libID=11207.
