Quarterly Pooling Tip – April 2015
Disconnecting LRN records in the BIRRDS database on pooled
code returns
When a pooled code is returned, the PA checks to see if there are any
LRNs assigned in the NPAC to the returning code holder. If the returning code
holder has an LRN assigned within the code in the NPAC, NANPA will deny the
return. If the returning code holder does not have an LRN assigned within the
code and there are assigned blocks or ported TNs to another service provider,
the PA will request a new code holder. However, if the returning code holder
does not disconnect any LRNs in BIRRDS prior to submitting the code return, then
the remaining LRN record may cause issues for both the returning code holder and
the new code holder upon the transfer or reassignment of the code.
It is the returning code holder’s responsibility to have its AOCN disconnect any
LRN records in BIRRDS prior to submitting the code disconnect request.
For more information please refer to Sections 2.17 and 3.1 of the COCAG Appendix
C, on the ATIS/ INC website (
