INC CO Code Reallocation Process

LNPA-WG

See the following link for current checklist and process…

A SPID migration is allowed to occur before the Telcordia LERG™ Routing Guide effective date provided, however, that the effective date is no later than the following Wednesday.  In general, however, SPID migrations should be scheduled on or as soon after the published Telcordia LERG™ Routing Guide as possible.

Additionally, service providers are urged to follow the processes listed below for required SPID changes:

 INDUSTRY SPID CORRECTION SELECTION PROCESS:

 If  No Ported Numbers Exist In The Code(S) Or Block(S) Affected By The Move:

            If no ported numbers are in the code, the new code holder should contact the current code owner as shown in the NPAC to have the code deleted in the NPAC.  The new code holder will then add the code in the NPAC under their SPID.

 If  Ported Numbers Exist In The Code(S) Or Block(S) Affected By The Move:

            1.  Coordinated Industry Effort:  The new code holder should identify the number of ported TNs within the NXX(s) in question and the number of involved service providers to determine if this option is feasible.  Based on the number of involved service providers, the new code holder should coordinate a conference call to determine if the delete/recreate process is acceptable among all affected service providers.  If this process is deemed acceptable, the affected service providers shall coordinate the deletion and recreation of all ported SVs in the code(s).  Note that the delete/recreate process is service affecting for those ported subscribers.  Type of customer should also be considered.  It is recommended that this process be considered when there are five (5) or fewer Service Providers involved and less than one hundred and fifty (150) SVs.  

            2.  NANC 323 SPID Migration: If Option 1 above cannot be used to change NXX code ownership in NPAC,the industry preferred process is to perform a NANC 323 SPID migration.

            3.  CO Code Reallocation Process:  The following process should be considered only as a last resort when Options 1 and 2 above cannot be used to change NXX code ownership in NPAC! Service providers may utilize the CO Code Reallocation Process (pooling the blocks within the code at NPAC).
