NXX Requests for Dedicated Customers
At the request of the INC, the following reminder is being sent.
Per section 3.2 of the Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X) Pooling Administration Guidelines (TBPAG):
A pooling SP’s requirement for an entire NXX Code (i.e., 10,000 TNs) to satisfy the numbering needs for a single customer[1] shall be obtained from the PA, not the CO Code Administrator (see Section 7.5.3). 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.
If this option is selected, but the SP did not follow the guideline direction for requesting the pooling indicator be marked as non-pooled on the Part 1 form, the SP must e-mail the PA and NANPA prior to the original Part 3 effective date in order for the NXX code dedicated for a single customer’s use be classified as a non-pooled code. The SP is reminded that a portability indicator may be required. Further, the SP is reminded that the LERG effective date reflecting the NXX code as non-pooled may be different than the original effective date. The NXX code dedicated for a single customer’s use will become a pooled code if and when thousands-blocks from the NXX code are donated to the pool.
