How connect to a NAP ?

Quick question from a lurker:
If a Federal Agency wanted to connect directly to a NAP (e.g., MAE-East,
MAE-West), how would they start the process, who are the contacts ?
P.S. Does FIX still exist ?
Thanks.

  The best thing for a fed agency to do is to check with
  the federal Networking council.
