Quarterly Pooling Tip – July 2024

BCR Records Built at the Same Time as the ACD Record for New Pool Replenishment, LRN and Dedicated Customer Requests

As a result of CIGRR Issue C307 on 7/12/24, iconectiv TruOpsTM Telecom Routing Administration (TRA) updated the Business Integrated Routing and Rating Database System (BIRRDS) edits to allow NANPA to build Block Code Data (BCD) records associated with a new Pooled CO Code at the same time as the Assigned Code Data (ACD) when the Code Holder’s OCN is the same as the Thousands-Block Holder’s OCN and no NXD A record exists.

When NANPA issues the Part 3A approval for the Thousands-Block(s) assigned to the Code Holder for Pool Replenishment, LRN and Dedicated Customer Requests the BCD records will be built to the code holder/applicant. At the time, the BCD record(s) are built by NANPA the NXD A may not have been built by the Code Holder/applicant’s Administrative Operating Company Number (AOCN).

The Code Holder/applicant’s AOCN shall ensure the input of Part 2 data into BIRRDS within seven calendar days of the assignment of CO Codes for New Pool Replenishment, LRN and Dedicated Customer requests, per section 8.2.17 of the Thousands-Block (NPA-NXX-X) & Central Office Code (NPA-NXX Administration Guidelines (TBCOCAG). If the request was expedited the AOCN shall enter the Part 2 data, the same day as the assignment.

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Support at 866-623-2282 or support@nanpa.com.
