Change Order #9 (INC Issue #632)


With INC Issue #632, a CO Code Part 4 must be on file prior to returning any thousands-blocks from an NXX that was originally assigned for a Dedicated Customer. As a result, PAS will now validate upon submission of a block disconnect request if the block was assigned as part of a Dedicated Customer Code request.

If the block was assigned as part of a Dedicated Customer Code request and:
• A CO Code Part 4 is on file, PAS will allow the submission of the block disconnect request.
• ACO Code Part 4 is not on file, PAS will return an error message stating “Your request to return this block has been rejected because a Dedicated Code Part 4 has not been received confirming that the code is In Service”.

When returning the first block from a NXX that was originally assigned for a Dedicated Customer, the SP must also include in the remarks field provided that the “NXX code has been activated in the PSTN, loaded in the NPAC, and all other LERG Assignee responsibilities have been fulfilled” If the remarks are not included at the time the PA processes the request, the request will be denied.

Change Order #10 (PAS Enhancements)

The enhancement being added to PAS in Change Order #10 is a result of suggestions received from the 2009 NANC survey. The enhancement will allow for an SP/SPC user to submit a single modification request for multiple blocks from one code including block transfer requests (Inter OCN modification).

The tools frame in PAS has been updated to include a new tool titled Multiple Block Modification, under the Individual Block Requests tool.

Once the user selects Multiple Block Modification from the tools frame, PAS will bring up the Select Type of Block Change screen. The screen will allow the user to enter an NPA-NXX then select the blocks to be modified. Only blocks assigned to or retained by the service provider submitting the request will be allowed to be included in the modification request unless the request is for a block transfer. Once the modification type and effective date fields have been completed, the user will select Continue and PAS will bring up the Part 1A screen and if applicable the Part 1B screens. The Part 1A screen will allow updates to be made to the fields applicable to the modification request type, e.g. switch field will be editable for a switch modification. The modification made will be applicable to all blocks included in the request. A separate Part 1B screen will be provided and must be completed for each block included in the request. Once the request is submitted, PAS will create separate requests for each block and provide a unique tracking number for each block modification.
