Issue 740: Allow pooled NXXs with ports to be returned via PAS (when there are blocks assigned to other SPs) • To facilitate the return of pooled codes in a process that is efficient and consistent for SPs, INC agreed to allow a code holder to return a pooled NXX code when the code holder has ported TNs but no blocks, and blocks are assigned to other SPs • The PA will solicit a new code holder from the existing block holders • If no block holder submits a Part 1 application to become the new code holder, the PA will solicit a new code holder from the SPs with ported TNs within the code • If no block holder or SP with ported TNs submits a Part 1 application, the NXX code return will be denied, rather than NANPA involving a state commission • INC made edits to the CO Code Assignment Guidelines Appendix C (Procedures for Code Holder Exit) and the Thousands-Block Pooling Administration Guidelines to outline these changes as well as to clarify existing language
