Disconnecting Company’s Responsibility for a Block Disconnect

Section 9.1.4 of the Thousands-Block Number Pooling Administration Guidelines indicates
that it is the returning/disconnecting company’s responsibility when completing a block disconnect request to notify the pooling administrator (PA) if there are contaminated TNs in the block. The Service Provider or Service Provider Consultant needs to inform the PA of the number of ports regardless if the contaminated TNs are the disconnecting company’s or not. The user will notify the PA with the number of contaminated TNs on the disconnect screen in PAS.

For more information on submitting a Block Disconnect request please reference the PAS Service Provider and Service Provider Consultant User Guide, section 5.3.8 “Submit a Block Disconnect Request.”
