Adding a New OCN to a PAS User Profile
An
Operating Company Number (OCN) is a four place
alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies providers of local telecommunications
service. OCN assignments are required of all SPs in their submission of
utilization and forecast data (FCC 00-104 ¶ 41 and Public Notice DA 00-1549).
A
Company OCN must be in
PAS in order to add
it to a user profile. If you receive the error message, “Invalid OCN. Must be 4
digit alpha-numeric and must exist in PAS.” When attempting to add a new
Company OCN to your
PAS user profile please email the
customer support desk at
poolingsupport@neustar.biz to have the new
Company OCN
added to PAS.
In your email to the customer support desk you shall include the following
information in order for the customer support desk to add the new
Company OCN to PAS.
- The Company OCN letter from NECA for the
specific Company OCN being added.
- License, Certification, or FCC Authorization documentation for
the Company OCN category as outlined in Section
4.3.1.1 of the Thousands Block Pooling Administrator Guidelines
(TBPAG).
NOTE: If the Company OCN
name is different from the company name listed in the Company Name field
on the registration, additional documentation may be needed showing the
relationship/affiliation between the companies.
- Service Provider (SP) users should
only add Company OCNs associated with their own
company.
- Service Provider Consultant (SPC) users
should only add Company OCNs where a letter of
authorization (LOA) has been received from the SP indicating the
SPC user may enter data into PAS on their behalf.
|
The LOA shall:
-
be on the service provider’s company letterhead,
-
list the authorized consultant’s name (or
consultant’s company name)
-
indicate that the consultant is authorized to have
access as a user in PAS and can act on the service provider’s behalf
for submission of numbering resources,
-
list all OCNs for which the letter applies,
-
include the contact phone number and email of the
service provider’s authorized representative
-
be signed by the service provider’s authorized
representative.
|
PAS profile updates adding Company OCNs may be
rejected if the SP/SPC user does not have authority or does not provide
documentation to support the addition of an OCN(s).
For more information on updating your PAS User Profile see
section 10 of the PAS Service Provider and Service Provider Consultant
User Guide located on
