LNPA WORKSHOP

• PA contract inhibits timely changes to process
  improvements and is inflexible relative to the
  change order process
• The PA contract is based on the INC
  Guidelines/Forms in effect on Sept. 9, 2000.
• For example, the ability to add a remarks
  field on PAS mechanized forms is hampered by the
  change order process
• INC and PA continue to improve industry
  processes
• Some PAS upgrades require additional funding,
  such as adding a remarks field
• Frustration with implementing current change
  orders in PAS because state trial processes were
  more flexible

CO/NXX WORKSHOP

• INC discussed at length the input received from
  state regulators on Issue 322 - Removal of Switch
  ID. Although the issue remains in initial
  closure, INC has concluded that the Switch ID
  field should be removed because
• FCC rules mandate assignments at the rate center
  level, not the switch level
• Switch ID is an artifact from the days when
  assignments were made at the switch level and is
  no longer used in the assignment of a Central
  Office code
• SPs may move numbers between switches within a
  rate center to balance resources, therefore
  rendering the original Switch ID moot and
• State regulators have other ways to obtain
  Switch ID information, e.g., TRA, CCMI, NECA FCC
  Tariff No. 4 and other vendor products.

CO/NXX WORKSHOP

• NANC LNPA Working Group provided further
  clarification relative to PIMs 14 15 which the

• INC approved interim procedures for returning
  non-pooled codes with active or pending TNs
  (detailed in the NANPA report)

7

• Final Closure expected at July INC meeting
• July NANC meeting precedes July INC meeting
• NANC briefing on Reference Document in September
