The FCC announced that the rollout schedule for the new version of the Network Outage Reporting System (NORS) platform will be conducted in two phases based on discussions with communications providers. In the first step, beginning Aug. 31, CenturyLink, Verizon and T-Mobile will be moved to the new production system. When a company is moved to the new production system, the company’s NORS users will be required to file all outage reports using the new platform and will not be permitted to use the current platform. Before a company is moved to the new platform, NORS users from that company should continue to make all required filings under Part 4 in the current version of the NORS system.
