PETITION OF THE

  ` ^ =

NORTH AMERICAN NUMBERING PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

ON BEHALF OF THE TEXAS TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY

Neustar, Inc., the North American Numbering Plan Administrator

( NANPA ),

in its role

as the neutral third partyl NPA relief planner for Texas under the North American Numbering

Plan and on behalf of the Texas telecommunications Industry ( Industry ),2 petitions the Public

Utility Commission of Texas ( Commission )3 to approve an all-services overlay for relief for

the 210 numbering plan area ( NPA ).4 The Industry submits its petition to the Commission

based upon NANPA's projections that absent NPA relief, the supply of central office codes

(often referred to as CO or NXX codes) for the 210 NPA will exhaust during the third

quarter of 2018. In support of this application and on behalf of the Industry, NANPA submits

the following:

`

As the neutral third party administrator, NANPA has no independent view regarding the relief option

selected by the Industry.

2

The Industry is composed of current and prospective telecommunications carriers operating in, or

considering operations within, the 210 area code of Texas.

 

The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) delegated authority to review and approve NPA

relief plans to the states. See 47 C.F.R. § 52.19.

4 In order to plan for the introduction of new area codes, NANPA and the Industry utilize the NPA Code

Relief Planning and Notification Guidelines (ATIS-0300061, September 9, 2014) ( NPA Relief Planning

Guidelines ). The NPA Relief Planning Guidelines assist NANPA, the Industry and regulatory authorities

within a particular geographic NPA in the planning and execution of relief efforts and can be accessed at

I. BACKGROUND

The 210 NPA currently serves the greater metropolitan area of the City of San Antonio

including the smaller cities of Alamo Heights, Balcones Heights, Castle Hills, Cibolo, Converse,

China Grove, Elmendorf, Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, Grey Forest, Helotes, Hill Country

Village, Hollywood Park, Kirby, Leon Valley, Live Oak, Olmos Park, Saint Hedwig, Schertz,

Selma, Shavano Park, Terrell Hills, Universal City, Von Ormy and Windcrest within the

counties of Atascosa, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Medina and Wilson. In 1992, a two-way

geographic split was implemented for the relief of the 512 NPA creating the 210 NPA. In 1997,

the 210 NPA underwent a three-way geographic split creating the 830 NPA and the 956 NPA. In

1998, the Commission ordered the consolidation of 29 rate centers to create one rate center in the

210 NPA.

The April 2015 NRUF (Numbering Resource Utilization/Forecast) and NPA Exhaust

Analysis ( 2015 NRUF Report ), published by NANPA, indicates that the 210 NPA will exhaust

the supply of CO codes during the third quarter of 2018.5 Based upon the projected exhaust of

the 210 NPA, NANPA convened an Industry relief meeting via conference call on August 26,

20156 to address relief for the 210 NPA. Pursuant to the NPA Relief Planning Guidelines,7

NANPA distributed a two-month notice to the Industry containing a draft relief petition prior to

the relief planning meeting.g

DESCRIPTION OF THE

OVERLAY

RELIEF PLAN

The all-services overlay would superimpose a new NPA over the same geographic area

covered by

the existing

210 NPA and

is projected to last approximately

33 years. CO

codes in

the new overlay NPA will be assigned

upon request

upon the effective date of the new NPA

code.

At exhaust of the 210 NPA, all future code

assignments

will be made in the new overlay

NPA code. All

existing customers would retain

their 210

area code and would not have to

change their telephone numbers. All local calls within and between the 210 NPA and the new

NPA would be dialed using 10 digits.9 The new dialing plan would be implemented with the new

overlay relief plan. The dialing

plan is set forth in the table below:

The Industry participants reached consensus to recommend to the Commission a thirteen

month schedule for implementation of the overlay with relief in place six months prior to the

forecasted exhaust.10 The recommended schedule is as follows:

TEXAS - 210 NPA

INITIAL

RELIEF PLANNING MEETING

VIA CONFERENCE CALL

FINAL MINUTES

August 26, 2015

WELCOME, INTRODUCTIONS AGENDA REVIEW

Joe Cocke, Senior NPA Relief Planner-NANPA,

welcomed the participants and

reviewed the objective

of the meeting. A list of attendees can be

found in Attachment #1.

Joe mentioned there would be a quality survey

sent via email to those attending

today's

call. Joe then reviewed the agenda

and NANPA's

role and responsibilities.

NANPA's ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Joe reviewed NANPA's role and responsibilities for today's meeting as follows:

NANPA starts the relief planning process 36 months prior to exhaust of the NPA.

• Distribute the notice with draft petition for approval at least two months prior to

the Relief Meeting

Review the recommended overlay when no other option meets the guidelines.

Joe explained that because the 210 NPA consists of only one rate center, there are

no split options that can be developed and only an overlay is applicable.

• The main objective is achieved by reaching consensus on the draft petition to

recommend to the State of Texas Public Utilities Commission.

Also determine any additional items to include in a filing with the TX PUC such

as implementation intervals.

Then NANPA is charged with the responsibility of filing a relief petition, on

behalf of the industry, with the regulatory authority. Once the industry comes to

consensus on what should be included in the filing, NANPA will file the legal

document within six weeks of today's meeting.

REVIEW CONSENSUS PROCESS AND NPA RELIEF PLANNING

GUIDELINES

Joe stated that the ATIS (Alliance for Telecommunications Solutions) approved industry

consensus process would be followed. He reviewed the consensus process and explained

how consensus is determined. In addition, Joe stated that the minutes would be comprised

of consensus agreements, and that issues not captured by consensus could be expressed in

the form of a Statement for the Record, which could be conveyed at any point during the

meeting.

Joe reviewed the most pertinent items from the Industry Numbering Committee (INC)

NPA Code Relief and Planning and Notification Guidelines for this meeting as follows:

Section 5.6.2 - Where NPA relief is required for a single NPA area and NANPA

has determined that only an overlay alternative will meet the guidelines, the Initial

Planning Document, relief planning meeting, and industry consensus to

recommend an overlay is not required.

1+10-digit

dialing to local and toll foreign NPA

(FNPA),

or the state's existing

overlay dialing plan. The recommended mandatory dialing date should be six

The NPA Relief Planning, as well as other relevant NPA assignment and relief

guidelines,

may be downloaded from the ATIS web site at

(www.atis.org/inc/incguides.asp).

STATUS OF TEXAS 210 NPA

Joe provided a read-out of the monthly CO Code Assignment Activity for the Texas 210

NPAs (Attachment 2). As of August 25, 2015, the 210 NPA has 712 codes assigned, 68

codes available for assignment and 20 Unavailable codes. There are 44 service provider

OCNs that are code holders in the 210 NPA, and no service provider OCNs that are only

one-thousand-block holders in the NPA.

Joe also provided code assignment history for the 210 NPA as follows: There were 18

total codes assigned YTD as of August 25, 2015 (an average of 2.25 codes per month),

30 codes assigned in 2014, 25 assigned in 2013; 16 assigned in 2012; 20 assigned in 2011

and 39 assigned in 2010.

Exhaust Forecast:

The April 2015 NRUF (Numbering Resource Utilization/Forecast) and NPA Exhaust

Analysis ( 2015 NRUF Report ), published by NANPA, indicates that the 210 NPA will

exhaust during the third quarter of 2018. Relief planning is to start in 3Q2015. Joe stated

the exhaust date is not expected to change with the next NRUF Forecast.

STATUS OF ONE-THOUSAND-BLOCK POOLING IN 210 NPAs

 

As an industry Best Practice, service providers are encouraged to also provide permissive 1+ 10

digit local dialing at their discretion.

Cecilia

McCabe, NeuStar Pooling Implementation, stated number pooling started in the

210 NPA on October 1, 2001. There is 1 rate area, and which is in mandatory pooling.

From August 1, 2014 through August 25, 2015, there have been 387 blocks assigned and

there are 6 blocks available as of August 25, 2015. For the same period, Pooling has

assigned 34 codes; 33 for pool replenishment, none for dedicated customers and 1 for

LRNs. The forecasted need for codes for the next twelve months is 23 codes for pool

replenishment and dedicated customers. (See Attachment 3)

BACKGROUND:

The 210 NPA currently serves the greater metropolitan area of the City of San Antonio

including the smaller cities of Alamo Heights, Balcones Heights, Castle Hills, Cibolo,

Converse, China Grove, Elmendorf, Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, Grey Forest,

Helotes, Hill Country Village, Hollywood Park, Kirby, Leon Valley, Live Oak, Olmos

Park, Saint Hedwig, Schertz, Selma, Shavano Park, Terrell Hills, Universal City, Von

Ormy and Windcrest within the counties of Atascosa, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Medina

and Wilson. In 1992, a two-way geographic split was implemented for the relief of the

512 NPA creating the 210 NPA. In 1997, the 210 NPA underwent a three-way

geographic split creating the 830 NPA and the 956 NPA. In 1998, the Commission

ordered the consolidation of 29 rate centers to create one rate center in the 210 NPA.

Joe then briefly reviewed the code holder table, rate center table and state area code map

and rate center maps for the 210 NPAs.

REVIEW DRAFT RELIEF PETITION FOR THE 210 NPA

Joe reviewed the draft relief petition for the 210 NPA distributed on June 24, 2015, which

recommends an all services overlay since there is only one rate center. A new NPA code

would be assigned to the same geographic area occupied by the existing 210 NPA.

Customers would retain their current telephone numbers and ten-digit dialing by all

customers within and between NPAs in the affected area would be required. The same

dialing plan in other Texas overlay NPAs would be used for the new overlay. Codes in

the new overlay NPA will be assigned upon request with the effective date of the new

area code. At exhaust of the 210 NPAs all future code assignments will be made in the

new overlay area code. The projected life is approximately 33 years. Consensus was

reached to approve NANPA's recommended petition.

ESTABLISH IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

Joe noted that the start of mandatory dialing should avoid major holiday periods such as

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Interval dates, start of permissive dialing and

mandatory dialing, will occur during non-business hours, usually early Saturday

mornings. Joe mentioned the INC guidelines state that

NANPA

should recommend

mandatory dialing start 6-months prior to the forecasted exhaust of the 210

NPA, which

according to the latest exhaust forecast, would be in 1Q2018.

After some discussion, due to the potential of continued high code demand and an earlier

than expected NPA exhaust, the industry decided the specific implementation dates will

be identified at an implementation meeting after the PUC has approved the plan.

A recommendation was made and consensus reached to recommend to the Commission a

13-month schedule for implementation of the overlay with a 6-month network

preparation and customer education period, followed by a 6-month permissive dialing

period ending with mandatory 10-digit local dialing (6-months prior to the forecasted

exhaust), then a one month quiet period before the effective date of the new NPA. The

recommended schedule is as follows:

Interval Timeframes for Overlav:

STATEMENTS FOR THE RECORD

There were no statements submitted for the record.

NANPA FILING INDUSTRY EFFORTS WITH COMMISSION

Consensus was reached that NANPA will file the petition with the State of Texas Public

Utilities Commission ( TX PUC ) informing them of the outcome of this relief meeting.

The INC guidelines reflect the relief petition is to be filed with the regulator within 6

weeks (10/7/15) of the initial relief planning meeting unless otherwise decided by the

industry.

Relief Planning Conference

Call for 210 NPA

The North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) has scheduled an area code

relief-planning meeting via conference call to provide the industry an opportunity to review and

approve a draft petition for the Texas 210 NPA, which is projected to exhaust 3Q2018.

According to ATIS INC NPA Code Relief Planning and Notification Guidelines, Section 5.6.2

NANPA is to prepare for industry review a draft petition to add an additional NPA to a single

NPA area where NANPA has determined that only an overlay alternative will meet the

guidelines.

Therefore, on August 26, 2015, NANPA will be hosting an industry meeting via conference call

to review and approve the draft relief petition for an overlay of the 210 NPA. We will follow the

consensus process, developed in an open industry forum, under the auspices of the Alliance for

Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS). Attached are an agenda along with the

consensus process, a meeting aid with the above mentioned INC Guideline section explaining the

streamlined process , CO Code summary and Pooling Statistics Reports, Service Provider CO

Code assignments for each NPA by OCN, the draft petition and related rate center maps.

Because the impacts

of NPA relief

are so significant,

NANPA

strongly encourages your

participation on August

26, 2015. This

will be the only meeting of the industry before a

recommended plan is submitted to the Public Utilities Commission of Texas for approval. The

details of the relief planning meeting conference call are as follows:

Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2015

Time: 12:00 pm, ET; 11:00 am CT; 10:00 am MT; 9:00 am PT

7 RESOLUTION PROCESS

7.1 Consensus

Consensus is the method used by the ATIS Forums

to reach resolution

of Issues, unless sp ecifically otherwise provided for in these Operating

Procedures.

Consensus is established when substantial agreement has been

reached among those participating in the Issue at hand. Substantial

agreement means more than a simple majority, but not necessarily

unanimous agre eme nt.

Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that

a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. Observers shall have

the opportunity to express their views and to influence the opinions of

Voting Members. However, the opinions of Observers are not considered

by the leadership in determining whether consensus has been achieved.

Under some circumstances, consensus is achieved when the minority no

longer wishes to articulate its objection. In other cases, the opinions of

the minority should be recorded with the report of the substantial

agreement, or consensus, of the majority.

When

there are questions or disputes regarding consensu s, leaders or

participants sho uld ask an objecting participant s) to state the rationale

for the objection and provide an op portunity

for full

discussion aimed at

achieving ful l understanding an d con sideration o f the objection.

A participant s silence is perceived as agreement by the committee and

its leadership. If participants do not agree, they should be encouraged to

speak up and voice their opinion.

Excerpts from the NPA Code Relief Planning & Notification Guidelines, ATIS-0300061 - 9/5/14

This

meeting aid is prepared to assist the participants in understanding basic steps and

considerations in NPA

Relief Planning and the criteria established to determine

if relief

alternatives are viable.

Section:

2.6

The ATIS

consensus process will be employed in selecting an industry relief

recommendation to ensure that the plan that does not favor a particular interest group.

2.12

Once there is an approved relief plan, all code holders, block holders, and the Pooling

Administrator (PA) in the exhausting NPA shall take the appropriate steps to facilitate the

implementation of the plan.

Section:

5.0

NPA Relief

Planning

Process

The NRUF and

other available resources are used to

identify

projected

NPA exhaust. NANPA

shall prepare relief options for each

NPA projected

to exhaust within thirty-six months.

Considerations in the NPA Relief Planning Process include:

Sub -A - The relief options shall cover a period of at least five years beyond the predicted

date of exhaust, and shall cover more than one relief activity, if necessary, during the

time frame.

Sub -E - For each relief activity proposed

in the plan, it is recommended that customers

who undergo number changes shall not be required to change again

for a period of 8-10

years.

Sub -F - The use of protected codes (NXXs) is an assignment practice whereby a central

office code assigned in one NPA is not available for assignment in an adjacent NPA in

order to permit 7 digit dialing across the NPA boundary. The use of protected codes

(NXXs), which permits 7-digit dialing across NPA boundaries, should be eliminated as

part of the NPA code relief planning process unless the appropriate regulatory authority

directs otherwise. I

ty.2

oundaries, shall continue unless otherwise directed by the appropriate regulatory authori

Where it is suspected that protected routes and 7-digit dialing cross-boundary exists, NANPA

shall continue the code assignment practices that permit the continued protection of these routes

until such time as these routes are eliminated by the service provider(s) or the appropriate

regulatory authority. Any changes in rate centers or NXXs that would increase or decrease

protected routes shall be reported to NANPA by the service provider initiating the change. The

notification shall include the tariff, the rate centers and NXX codes involved and the direction of

the 7-digit local calling. This notification is important since such changes may have code

consumption implications on multiple NPAs. It should be understood that continuing this

practice can result in a less efficient use of resources and shorten the forecasted lives of the NPA

currently under relief planning as well as the adjacent NPAs; i.e. two-way 7-digit dialing across

NPAs might involve several rate centers and many NXX codes in multiple NPAs. Additionally,

the relief planning model used by NANPA cannot take into account the protected routes when

projecting the lives of new NPA relief alternatives because the model assumptions are based on

the premise that all NXXs available for assignment can be assigned to all rate centers. A high

number of protected routes may impact the availability of NXX codes in specific rate centers

(usually high-demand rate centers), which directly impacts the exhaust timeframe of an area

code.

As a result, NPA relief planning may start prematurely or may not permit for the standard

intervals for relief implementation.

In the long term, the plan shall result in the most effective use possible of all codes serving a

given area. Ideally, all of the codes in a given area shall exhaust about the same time in the case

of splits. In practice, this may not be possible, but severe imbalances, for example, a difference

in NPA lifetimes of more than 10 years, shall be avoided.

5.1

Determine the Expected NPA Exhaust Period - Through the use of historical growth data

as well as expected changes (e.g. pooling) to NXX demands in the future, NANPA

should project to the best of its ability the expected quarter of exhaust of the NPA. Every

practical source of data, including the NRUF survey results should be used as an aid in

this projection. Projection results should be reported to the industry as soon as the NRUF

or other analysis results are available. Once the earliest likely exhaust date is determined,

NANPA should suggest a mandatory dialing date six months prior to the exhaust date if

the recommended relief is an overlay. If the recommended relief is a geographic split,

the end of the recorded announcement period should be at least six months prior to the

earliest likely exhaust date.

5.3

Define the Attributes of Each Alternative or Method - For each of the alternative relief

methods identified in 5.2, NANPA should, with assistance from the industry participants,

quantify impacts to subscribers, networks and service providers and industry concerns

using Appendix B. Specific calculations such as the relative lengths of the relief periods,

local dialing plans using 7-digits or 10-digits, and if available the number of subscribers

requiring number changes should be made at this point. Any known technical and

operational impacts should also be identified by service providers including items such as

required switch replacements and support system modifications.

5.4

Notify Industry of Pending NPA Exhaust and Results of Initial Relief Planning - The next

step in the NPA Relief Planning Process is to incorporate the results of the steps outlined

in 5.1 through 5.3 into an Initial Planning Document (IPD) for distribution to the Industry

in the affected NPA. The IPD should be attached to a letter notifying Industry members

of future meeting schedules to be held for the purpose of discussing the alternative relief

methods, with the objective of reaching consensus on the method to be adopted. The IPD

should be provided at least four weeks prior to the first industry meeting to allow

individual industry members to fully analyze the alternatives.

5.5

Conduct Industry Meetings with the Goal of Reaching Industry Consensus on a Relief

Plan - Meetings and/or conference calls should be held with all interested members of the

industry within the affected NPA.

When a meeting notice is issued, NANPA will state

that an SP requesting a conference bridge must notify the meeting host to make

arrangements (e.g., equipment, bridge number, cost of call). In order to keep the meeting

manageable, participants on the bridge will not be accorded special consideration3.

NANPA will moderate these meetings or conference calls and will be fully prepared to

answer questions regarding the alternatives. During the meetings/conference calls, new

alternatives may be proposed and must be considered in these discussions. Inasmuch as

the objective of these meetings is to reach industry consensus, subsequent joint meetings

will be held as required until consensus is reached, or until NANPA determines

consensus cannot be reached.

 

Caveat: those on the bridge may NOT ask for comments to be repeated or for additional explanations to be given

because they cannot see what's happening in the room. The use of a bridge must not slow down the meeting.

Excerpts

from the NPA Code Relief

Planning & Notification Guidelines,

ATIS-0300061 - 9/5/14

In discussing the alternatives, issues such as new NPA boundaries, local calling areas,

protected codes, regulatory issues, customer education, 911 issues, and the length of any

necessary permissive dialing period should be considered.

All meetings and/or conference calls should be fully documented in meeting minutes,

which are to be made available to the local industry within two weeks after the

meeting/conference call and no less than one week prior to a subsequent meeting or call

unless otherwise agreed. Copies of meeting minutes may also be forwarded to the

appropriate regulatory body.

5.6

Notify Appropriate Regulatory Body - When consensus is reached within the industry or

when NANPA determines additional meetings would not achieve consensus, NANPA

should submit to the appropriate regulatory body (or bodies) the results of the industry

effort, if required. In its submission NANPA should also furnish all relevant background

information including any statements for the record submitted in real time by industry

participants (unless otherwise agreed), meeting minutes, mailing lists, etc. In the case

where consensus could not be reached, brief position papers could be included.

5.6.1

Where NPA relief is required for an existing overlay complex, the Initial Planning

Document, relief planning meeting, and industry consensus to recommend an overlay is

not required.

NANPA shall draft a relief plan petition requesting approval of the overlay

and recommending an implementation schedule including a timeframe for network

preparation and customer education, with the new NPA effective at the end of the

implementation schedule. There is no need for a permissive dialing period because local

10-digit dialing will already be in place. The draft petition shall include the state's

existing overlay dialing plan.

NANPA shall

notify all affected parties at least three

(

3) weeks in advance of a

conference call scheduled to review and approve the draft petition. During the

conference call, the timeframes for the implementation schedule will be determined. The

recommended relief should be in place six months prior to the forecasted exhaust (see

Section 7.2).

As usual, meeting minutes shall be produced and distributed

by NANPA

within 10 days of the conference call.

NANPA

shall submit the petition to the appropriate regulatory agency requesting

approval of the overlay, and after regulatory approval has been received,

NANPA shall

proceed with the implementation process, as reflected in Sections

5.7 - 5.12.

5.6.2

Where NPA relief is required for a single NPA area and NANPA has determined that

only an overlay alternative will meet the guidelines, the Initial Planning Document, relief

planning meeting, and industry consensus to recommend an overlay is not required.

NANPA shall

draft a relief plan petition requesting

approval of the overlay and

recommending an implementation schedule including

network

preparation, customer

education, and a permissive dialing period.

NANPA shall notify all affected parties at least two months in advance of a conference

call scheduled to review and approve the draft petition. In the notification, NANPA will

include data (e.g. an NPA with a high concentration of assigned NXXs in one or only a

few rate centers) supporting the recommendation that the overlay is the only relief

method in compliance with the criteria listed in Section 5.0.

The two month timeframe

notification may be necessary to allow individual industry members to fully analyze

impacts to their respective subscribers and networks in determining the timeframes

needed for implementation. Industry members may also need this time to investigate any

technical and operations impacts, such as required switch replacements and support

system modifications to take into consideration when determining the implementation

schedule.

During the conference call, the timeframes for the implementation schedule will be

determined to finalize the relief petition.

The draft petition will include a

recommendation for 10-digit dialing for local4 and toll to

home NPA (HNPA) and 1+10-

digit dialing to local and toll foreign NPA

(FNPA),

or the state's existing overlay dialing

plan. The recommended mandatory dialing date should be six months prior to the

forecasted exhaust

(

see Section 5.1). As usual, meeting minutes shall be produced and

distributed

by NANPA

within 10 days of the conference call.

NANPA

shall submit the petition to the appropriate regulatory agency requesting

approval of the overlay, and after regulatory approval has been received,

NANPA shall

proceed with the implementation process, as reflected in Sections

5.7 - 5.12.

5.7

Approval by Appropriate Regulatory Body - When the regulator issues an order for NPA

relief, NANPA shall confirm the approved plan meets the criteria for assignment as set

forth in this document. If the approved plan meets the criteria, NANPA will assign a new

NPA within one week of receipt of the approved plan. If the approved plan does not

direction.

5.8

Public Statements/Press Releases - Public statements released prior to the first industry

NPA relief planning meeting should, to the extent available, contain:

factual information about the impending exhaust

of the NPA

and that qu estions concerning the relief

effort may

be directed

to the NANPA

During the relief planning process, public statements are not encouraged. However, some

states may require input from the public to the planning process. If questions are directed

to the NANPA,

or if reaction to a press article is warranted, responses should, to the

extent possible, be limited to factual information

(

as opposed to opinion or preference)

concerning relief options being considered and to agreements reached by the industry that

are in the public record.

Within two weeks of the NPA assignment NANPA will issue a press release informing

the public of this action. NANPA need not issue that press release if the regulatory

authority wishes to do so instead. Information that may be incorporated with this

notification includes a map indicating new NPA boundaries and new dialing procedures

(if any).

5.9

Industry NPA Relief Implementation Meeting - NANPA will host and facilitate an

Industry NPA Relief Implementation meeting via conference call following the final

acceptance of a relief plan. [NANPA, on their own initiative or using input from Service

Providers, has the option to convene a face-to-face meeting if the chosen plan presents

unusual implementation factors.] The meeting shall occur no more than 45 days

following the assignment of a new NPA. The agenda for the industry implementation

meeting should include relevant dates, milestones, customer education, press releases,

provision of test numbers, Planning Letter content and subsequent industry

communication regarding implementation issues.

5.10

Planning Letter- NANPA shall post a Planning Letter to its website informing the public

and the industry of pending NPA relief no more than three weeks after the initial

implementation meeting. If regulatory approval of the implementation plan with interval

dates is required, the Planning Letter will be published within 10 business days of

210 NPA Background Information

Relief Planning Background and Assumptions:

The 210 NPA currently serves the greater metropolitan area of the City of San Antonio including the

smaller cities of Alamo Heights, Balcones Heights, Castle Hills, Cibolo, Converse, China Grove,

Elmendorf, Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, Grey Forest, Helotes, Hill Country Village, Hollywood

Park, Kirby, Leon Valley, Live Oak, Olmos Park, Saint Hedwig, Schertz, Selma, Shavano Park, Terrell

Hills, Universal City, Von Ormy and Windcrest within the counties of Atascosa, Bexar, Comal,

Guadalupe, Medina and Wilson. In 1992, a two-way geographic split was implemented for the relief

of the 512 NPA creating the 210 NPA. In 1997, the 210 NPA underwent a three-way geographic split

creating the 830 NPA and the 956 NPA. In 1998, the Commission ordered the consolidation of 29 rate

centers to create one rate center in the 210 NPA.

CO Code Summary:

As of June 23, 2015, the 210 NPA has 709 codes assigned, 72 codes available for assignment and 19

Unavailable codes. There are 44 service provider OCNs that are code holders in the 210 NPA, and no

service provider OCNs that are only one-thousand-block holders in the NPA.

CO Code Assignment History:

There were 14 total codes assigned

YTD as of June 23, 2015, 30 codes assigned in 2014, 25

assigned

in 2013;

16 assigned in 2012; 20 assigned in 2011 and

39 assigned in 2010.

Exhaust Forecast:
