Per Section 4.2.1 (c) of the Thousands Block Pooling Administration
Guidelines (TPBAG) it states that the LERG Assignee shall “Verify
and test that the NXX Code
is activated in the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) prior to
the NXX Code’s LERG Effective Date ;”.
The Pooling Administrator sends out the PSTN reminder notices
starting on the
effective date of the NXX Code, and continuing every 10 days until
notification is
received from the Service Provider that the NXX Code has been
activated in the
PSTN. Unfortunately submitting a Part 4 does not fulfill this
requirement of PSTN
verification. When receiving a PSTN notification from the Pooling
Administrator
with the subject line of “Confirmation of Code Activation in PSTN
Reminder for
NPA-NXX”, you must reply and verify that the NXX Code is now active
in the
PSTN in order for the PA to make the change in PAS. As a result the
available
blocks in PAS will change from a “Pending” (Red)
status to an “Available”
(Black) status and the PSTN reminders will cease for that NXX
Code.
