This data will apply to all Typesof Accounts having usage data. (This data was expanded from FGB, C, and D only withOBF Is

37、sue XXXX.) and represent the NPA/NXX LNRs that could have contributed to theusage accumulation on the CABS bill during the billing period. Due to variousconditions, e.g., NPA/NXX LNR changes during the month, the report may not representthe actual NPA/NXX LNR that are found on the CABS bill.NPA/NXX

38、LNR data will be a snapshot of that which is reflected on the Local ExchangeCarriers End Office Table at the time of billing.
