Neustar objects to an FCC “second level protection order” in the Local Number Portability Administrator vendor context, it told Wireline Bureau and Office of General Counsel officials Monday, said an ex parte filing posted in docket 09-109 Thursday (http://bit.ly/1qwx3dG). That order assumes the “most important documents and information in the record” are “highly confidential,” and places the burden of proof on parties who wish the information to be made public, said the company. “Full transparency is required to produce the kind of record that will support notice and comment rulemaking, which is required in this proceeding.” The FCC is seeking comment on an advisory group’s recommendation that Telcordia get the LNPA vendor job, a contract Neustar has that’s up for renewal (CD June 11 p16).
