Current Code Holder Responsibilities for Voluntary Code Transfer Process for Establishing an LRN for All Blocks that the Current Code Holder will be Keeping

 

As a reminder for all blocks that the current code holder will be keeping after a code is transferred to the new code holder to establish an LRN the current code holder must either:

 

a.       Submit a block modification to modify the Part 1B for the block(s) it is keeping.

·         On the Part 1B screen, select “NO” to the question “Is Block being allocated back to the Code Holder on the switch where the NXX resides?” and select “YES” to the question “NPAC Activate Block Range”.

 

 Or

 

b.     Port its TNs within the block back to themselves directly in the NPAC.

 

Failure to update the NPAC for the blocks or TNs that the current code holder is keeping may result in customers being placed out of service.
