NANPA Change Orders
Change Order 18 – This change order was approved by the FCC on February 19, 2010.
Implementation is targeted for the fall of 2010.
This change order requires NANPA to compare thousand-block (NPA-NXX-X) assignment data
obtained from the Pooling Administrator (PA) with the utilization data collected from service
providers during the semi-annual Number Resource Utilization and Forecast (NRUF) reporting
process. Through this comparison, NANPA is to identify the assigned thousand-blocks for which
no utilization data was provided and contact the service provider to which the block is assigned to
request that it submit appropriate utilization information. NANPA is to also identify those
instances where a service provider indicates on their NRUF submission that a thousand-block was
donated to the PA but the PA block assignment data shows the block is assigned to the service
provider.
