Single Block Request - Pool Replenishment Status

To help assist in maintaining a six month inventory of available blocks in the pool when you
are requesting one block in PAS, please review the Pool Replenishment status. You can do this by clicking on the View Pool Replenishment Status button on the top right of the PAS Part 1A screen. It is important to review the CO Code Demand section of the Pool Replenishment Status screen. The CO Code Demand section shows how many CO Codes are:
 
  • Needed: based on the current forecasted demand for all SP who have forecasted a need for blocks in the next 6 month.
  • NANPA: if a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP and suspended by the PA is waiting for NANPA’s approval of a code assignment.
  • In Queue: if a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP and has not been processed by the PA yet.
If the CO Code Demand section shows that code(s) are needed and you are able to open a code for pool replenishment please cancel your single block request by scrolling to the bottom of the Part 1A screen and click the Cancel button. Next, from your PAS toolbar select CO/NXX Code Requests and click on New Code Request. When submitting your new code request make sure to select Full NXX for Pool Replenishment as your Type of Application. If the CO Code Demand section shows that code(s) are not needed please continue filling out the Part 1A screen for your single block request.If you are requesting more than one block PAS will automatically instruct you, if you want to take blocks from the pool only, blocks from a full CO Code, or a portion of blocks from the pool and a code.
