Thousands-Blocks Donations
As a reminder per section 7.2.7 of the Thousands-Block Number
(NXX-X) Pooling
Administration Guidelines, when you donate thousands-blocks via
the Appendix 2,
Thousands-Block Donation Form in PAS:
7.2.7 Block Donation Date (excerpt)
After the Block Donation Date:
- If block donations are submitted using Appendix 2
via PAS, the PA shall process the donation within 7
calendar days. If donations are submitted by any other
method, the PA has an additional two business days for
processing.
- For any donations from a non-pooled NXX, the AOCN is
responsible for entering its specified routing and
rating information for those retained thousands-blocks.
The retained thousands-block will not appear in the LERG
Routing Guide until the AOCN has performed this task.
- For any subsequent donations of previously retained
blocks from a pooled NXX, the block(s) to be donated
must be disconnected by the AOCN in BIRRDS before
donation. An SP should use the Other Information section
in Appendix 2 if block(s) donated have any special
status or treatment, e.g., restricted use, chatline,
etc.
