ABSTRACT: This document replaces TR-NWT-0001147.

Issue 5 of GR-1147, OSSGR Section 8: Administration, replaces Issue 4.

GR-1147 describes administration requirements specifically applicable to a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) operator services system. The requirements are coordinated with call processing requirements for operator services system functions and features. They apply to all operator services system services, whether provided automatically or by an operator.

These requirements apply to an operator services system generating, assembling, formatting, and outputting AMA data for use by a Revenue Accounting Office (RAO). A LEC uses AMA data as the basis for billing end users and other entities, such as InterLATA Carriers (ICs), for their usage of a LEC's network and its services.

Issue 4 of GR-1147 included updates to the force measurements generic requirements to support existing operating services, such as alternate billing services and directory assistance, and new multimedia services, such as text chat and e-mail.

Issue 5 of GR-1147:

• Incorporates background on the numeric RAO code exhaust and the introduction of alphanumeric RAO codes that resulted in industry agreements on the use of Billing Service Provider (BSP) to house the RAO code
• Adds a definition and explanatory text for the BSP field in LIDB.
