 Checking Returned Blocks in NPAC
 Resolution from INC:
  9.1.5
    
    In cases where the block holder is exiting the market and voluntarily returns a
block indicating that it with is over 10% contamination contaminated (101 TNs
or more), the SP shall state in the remarks field of the Part 1A that it is exiting the
market. The PA shall request an ad hoc report from the NPAC, generated during off-peak hours,
that identifies the SPs and associated quantities of ported TNs in the returned block. This
information shall assist the PA in re-allocating the block, if TNs ported to other SPs are
found within the NPA-NXX-X block. The PA may use these reports to provide each potential block
holder with the total number of ported TNs it has, number of SPs with ported TNs, and the
total number of ported TNs overall.If the block being returned by the SP is over 10% contaminated and the SP does not indicate
it is exiting the market, the PA shall deny the return.9.2.7
    
    In cases where pooled blocks are voluntarily returned with over 10% contamination,

Natl PAS  Change Order #6  User Enhancements to PAS
    
    December 18, 2008
 1 Introduction
 1.1 Purpose and Scope
 1
 2 Users Proposed Enhancements
  1.
    
    Service provider users and service provider consultant users have the capability in
PAS to save their new block requests for a period of 30 calendar days. After 30 calendar days,
PAS automatically purges the previously saved request. It has been requested that the
users also have the ability to delete their previously saved requests in PAS prior to this
30-day timeframe.2.
    
    Service providers need to know if the blocks they have been assigned are from codes
that are also assigned to the same OCN and same switch of the block. To determine this
information today, they must go to the Part 1B form in PAS. To assist the user, it has
been requested that this information also be provided in the Part 3 response for new block
assignments.3.
    
    Service provider users and service provider consultant users may enter only one
switch on the Part 1/Part 1A screens in PAS today. However, the users have indicated that they
have a need to enter multiple switches on new block requests and new code requests. It
has been requested that PAS be modified to allow for multiple switches to be entered for
new block requests and new code requests.4.
    
    Service provider users and service provider consultant users occasionally have the
need to withdraw a request that they have submitted in PAS. Today, they can do this only by
contacting the PA. It has been requested that the capability to withdraw a request be
provided to the user in PAS.

Natl PAS  Change Order #6  User Enhancements to PAS
    
    December 18, 2008
 3 The Proposed Solution
  1.
    
    The Saved Block Request Listin PAS will be modified to add a checkbox to allow the
user
to delete a previously saved new block request.2.
    
    When the PA processes and approves a request for a new block,
PAS will verify whether the OCN and switch for the block are the same as the OCN and switch for the code. If the
OCN and switch for the block match the OCN and switch for the code, then PAS will add
standard language to the remarks section of the Part 3 form to notify the user.3.
    
    PAS will be modified:
 a.
    
    to allow the user to enter multiple switches on one request when the
user is
requesting multiple blocks or a new code (full NXX for LRN or full NXX for pool
replenishment);b.
    
    to allow the user to view the multiple switches on the viewable
Part 1/Part 1A
forms; andc.
    
    to allow the user to view the multiple switches on the Part 3 viewable
screen, and have the multiple switches information on the Part 3 response.
 4.
    
    PAS will be modified to allow a user to withdraw a pending request in PAS. This can be accomplished only if the PA has not processed the request. PAS will verify that the
request has not been processed, that the tracking number is valid, and that the user is
authorized to withdraw the request. If all criteria are met, PAS will automatically create a
Part 3 withdrawal, and will remove the work item from the PAs work item list.

    January 10, 2009
 1 Introduction
 1.1 Purpose and Scope
 1
 2.5.4 Modifications of Guidelines
 The PA shall participate in the development and modification of guidelines and procedures,
which may or may not affect the performance of the PA functions. These changes may come
from regulatory directives and/or industry-initiated modifications to guidelines. In
addition, new guidelines may be developed as appropriate to comply with regulatory
directives. The PA shall implement any changes determined to be consistent with regulatory
directives.The PA shall:
 
    
    Provide, in real time, technical guidance to ensure processes and
procedures are
effective in meeting the goals of the change.
    
    Provide issues and contributions, and be prepared to discuss at INC
meetings how

the proposed change promotes numbering policy and/or benefits the NANP and
how the change will affect the PAs duties, obligations and accountability.
    
    Assess and share in real time (i.e., during discussion) the cost
implications and

administrative impact of the change upon the PAs duties and responsibilities in
sufficient detail as needed by the INC.
 When the INC places any changes to its guidelines in final closure, the PA shall submit an
assessment regarding the impact of scope of work, time and costs to the INC, the NANC and
the FCC within 15 calendar days. The PA shall post changes in procedures on its web site
prior to the change taking effect.Specifically, the PA shall:
 
    
    Notify all interested parties when guidelines have changed.
    
    Interpret guideline changes and impact upon processes.
    
    Identify implementation date or effective date.
    
    Provide notification of new forms or tools that may be required.
    
    Identify a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) within the PA to answer questions.
 The NANC shall be consulted at the FCCs discretion regarding the suggested implementation
date to determine the likely impact on service provider processes and

 systems (i.e., whether it would be unduly burdensome or would unfairly disadvantage any
service provider or group of service providers per the PAs obligations and NANP
administrative principles). The PA shall also seek input on implementation dates from
service providers that log in to PAS and vendors that interface with PAS.
 2 Issue Statement
   INC
Issue Statement:
 When SPs have to modify multiple LRNs, switching or tandem information at one
time, each individual record has to be updated separately. Allowing mass
modifications on multiple records will decrease the amount of manual work on the
SP and also reduce the chances for entering incorrect information.

Sections 4.1and 8.5.1:
 4.1 Code Holder Responsibilities
 A Central Office (CO) Code Holder is an assignee of an NXX code which was
allocated by the CO Code Administrator. When an NXX Code becomes pooled, the
Code Holder becomes the LERG Assignee.
 a)
    
    identify eligible thousands-blocks for donation to the industry

 b)
    
    make required updates to BIRRDS with the switch information as
appropriate (i.e., ongoing switching entity/POI changes) after creation of
the
Block Code record (BCD), for their assigned thousands-blocks within
pooled NXX codes (See Section 8.5.2) and;c)
    
    submit changes or disconnects for pooled NXXs to the PA. Changes or
disconnects for non-pooled NXXs in a pooling rate center should be sent to
NANPA, unless the PA received the original request for the non-pooled
NXX.d)
    
    If there are 50 or more codes that need modifications on
intra-company
OCN changes, switching entity/POI changes, or tandem modifications, a
mass modification spreadsheet can be sent to NANPA. Contact NANPA for
the most recent spreadsheet.e)
    
    confirm, prior to donating the thousands-block to the industry inventory
pool, that:
 1)
    
    all unavailable TNs within contaminated thousands-blocks
have been

intra-service provider ported;2)
    
    the associated NPA/NXX is currently available for call
routing, is
flagged as LNP capable in the LERG Routing Guide and the NPAC, and
the NPA-NXX query triggers are applied in all switches and reflected in
the appropriate network databases (e.g., STP routing tables);3)
    
    the NXX-assigned switch is currently LNP-capable and will
process

terminating traffic appropriately; and4)
    
    interconnection facilities have been established
between the NXX-

assigned switch and other interconnecting networks.
 f)
    
    become a LERG Assignee at the Block Donation Date (see Section 7.1).
 An entire NXX code dedicated for a single customers use may be classified as a
non-pooled code at the discretion of the SP. The SP will be considered the CO
Code Holder by leaving the pool indicator field blank in Section 1.5 of the CO
Code Part 1. In addition, the SP should write Non-pooled code for dedicated
customer in Section 1.7 of the Part 1.

an OCN, Switch ID or Block Effective Date change for thousand-blocks which have
already been assigned. The requested changes should be submitted via the
Thousands-Block Application Forms, Part 1A, and when necessary, the Part 1B. For

 ensure that the record of the entity responsible for the thousands-block and the data
associated with the thousands-block is accurate.If there are 50 or more blocks that need to be modified for intra-company OCN
changes, switching entity/POI changes, or Part 1B modifications, a mass
modification spreadsheet can be sent to the PA. Contact the PA for the most
recent spreadsheet.Note: Mass modifications only update data in PAS. SPs are responsible for all
updates to BIRRDS, NPAC and any other affected systems or databases.
 COCAG:
 Information Changes
 The information associated with a code assignment may change over time. Such changes may
occur, for example, because of the transfer of a code to a different company. The CO
Code Administrator must be notified of any changes to the information in Part 1 of the
CO Code (NXX) Assignment Request Form. This includes changes such as, but not limited
to, the tandem homing arrangement, OCN, switching entity/POI and rate center. For OCN
changes due to merger/acquisition, the SP must so state on the Part 1 form. If the
applicant is requesting multiple changes, the applicant should indicate all requested
changes in Section l.4 of the Part 1 form.SPs that change the rate center for a previously assigned NXX that has not been
activated shall be required to first demonstrate the need for the NXX in the new rate
center. For this change, SPs must first supply a new CO Code Assignment Months to
Exhaust Certification Worksheet  TN Level to the CO Code Administrator prior to making
any changes to BIRRDS for the affected NXX code. Accordingly, the CO Code
Administrator(s) must be informed of these changes to ensure that an accurate record of
the code holder/ LERG Routing Guide assignee responsible for the code and the data
associated with the code is maintained so as not to jeopardize data integrity. The CO
Code Administrator shall verify the retention of the NXX codes using the Months to
Exhaust Certification Worksheet  TN Level prior to changes being made to the rate center
in the TRA databases.If there are 50 or more codes that need modifications on intra-company OCN changes,
switching entity/POI changes, or tandem modifications, a mass modification spreadsheet
can be sent to NANPA. Contact NANPA for the most recent spreadsheet.Note: Mass modifications only update data in NAS. SPs are responsible for all
updates to BIRRDS, NPAC and any other affected systems or databases.

 SPs that wish to move CO codes from one rate center to another must submit a Part
1 to the CO Code Administrator. Upon receipt of the Part 1 for an NXX that has
been activated, the CO Code Administrator will request that the NPAC produce an ad
hoc report, generated during off-peak hours, that identifies the SPs and
associated quantities of ported TNs or pending ports within the code(s). The CO
Code Administrator will not request an ad hoc report if the SP is requesting a
rate center change for a code that has not reached its LERG Routing Guide
effective date.If the report shows that there are ported TNs or pending ports, then the CO Code
Administrator will issue a Part 3 Denial to the applicant. If the report shows that
there are no ported TNs or pending ports, then the CO Code Administrator will issue a
Part 3 Acceptance to the applicant with instructions to the Applicant to immediately
remove the NXX from the NPAC to ensure that no porting occurs between the time the ad
hoc report was produced and the effective date of the rate center change. On the
effective date of the rate center change, the Applicant must immediately add the NXX to
the NPAC to ensure that porting can resume.

 5 Assumptions and Risks
   1.
    
    The decrease in the minimum number of records permitted under the mass modify process will increase the number of mass modifies that are submitted.2.
    
    This will impact our day-to-day operations, in that any errors in the mass
modify spreadsheets require research on the part of the pooling administrators.
