Area Code Relief - 920/274 Area Code Overlay Implementation Schedule
When the docket to investigate area code relief options for the 920 area code was first opened in June 2007, the anticipated exhaust date was the second quarter of 2010. However, by the time the Commission’s overlay order was issued in December 2008, the anticipated exhaust date had already moved out two years. Consequently, the 920/274 implementation schedule was crafted to accommodate the anticipated exhaust date that was in place at that time (the second quarter of 2012). Since December 2008, the projected exhaust date of the 920 area code has been extended several times. At its November 11, 2010, open meeting, the Commission decided to postpone the implementation of the 274 area code. This action did not change the Commission’s decision to use an overlay to provide relief in the 920 area code or the 19-month implementation period adopted by the Commission in its December 8, 2008, order, simply the starting point. A Supplemental Final Decision was issued in this proceeding on November 15, 2010. In response to the Commission’s Supplemental Final Decision, the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) convened an industry meeting to discuss the implementation schedule for the 920/274 overlay. On December 7, 2010, Industry reached consensus on the following modifications:
** This is considered the effective date of area code relief in the 920 area.
