    I.D No. PSC-23-16-00012-P
    Area Code Overlay
    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 a petition filed by Neustar Inc., in its role as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator to add a new area code within the current 518 area code.
    Statutory authority:
    Public Service Law, section 97(2)
    Subject:
    Area Code Overlay.
    Purpose:
    To consider an area code overlay in the current 518 area code.
    Substance of proposed rule:
    The Commission is considering a petition filed by Neustar Inc., in its role as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator to add a new area code within or adjacent to the current 518 area code that serves parts of Upstate New York including Albany, Saratoga and Plattsburgh. Neustar’s proposal would overlay a new area code over the current 518 area code, and would result in required 10-digit dialing for those with numbers in the current 518 and new area code. The reason for Neustar’s request is a projection that indicates the current 518 area code will be exhausted in the first quarter of 2019. The full text of the petition may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
