PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The commission is considering options for making additional central office codes available in the 315 area code region.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 97(2)
Subject:
Options for making additional central office codes available in the 315 area code region.
Purpose:
To consider options for making additional central office codes available in the 315 area code region.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering options for making additional central office codes available in the 315 area code region.
The North American Numbering Plan administrator (NANPA) advised the Commission in September 2007 that the 315 area code, serving all or part of eighteen northern and central New York counties is running out of assignable telephone numbers. NANPA's projected date for 315 area code exhaust is the third quarter of 2010. As a result, a Numbering Plan Area Code Relief Plan needs to be developed and implemented prior to that date in order to ensure code continued availability of telephone numbers in the 315 area code region beyond 2010.
