Quarterly Pooling Tip – July 2021

Pooling in a NPA that is in Jeopardy

When jeopardy is declared in a NPA this means that the forecasted and/or actual demand for CO Code resources will exceed the known supply during the planning/implementation interval for relief. 

Individual Block Requests
If you are participating in pooling in a NPA in jeopardy and you are submitting an individual block request, the request will not be affected. It will be business as usual. 

LRN, Pool Replenishment, or for a Dedicated Customer CO Code Request
Upon jeopardy being declared you must participate in the lottery until final jeopardy procedures are in place. Once final jeopardy procedures are in place and CO Codes are set aside for pooling, you can submit a CO Code request for an LRN, Pool Replenishment, or for a Dedicated Customer and these requests will not be affected; it will be business as usual. 

If there are no CO Codes set aside for pooling then you must participate in the lottery. When you have to participate in the lottery the application date on your Part 1 form submitted in PAS will be used by the administrator to determine if your request falls within the appropriate lottery submission timeframes.
