About INCThe Industry Numbering Committee (INC) provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide
issues associated with planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use of North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbering resources within the NANP area.The INC currently has three subcommittees:Resource Assignment and Management (RAM) maintains and develops enhancements to the industry guidelines that provide for assignment to and management of those numbering and addressing resources managed by the Industry Numbering Committee for assignment to/by Service Providers or Users. Examples of such resources are: CO/NXX Codes, Thousands-Blocks, Telephone Numbers, CICs, 555 line numbers etc.Numbering and Addressing Resource Planning (NARP) maintains and develops the industry guidelines for relief or exhaust of current resources and implementation of new numbering or addressing resources. It also develops industry guidelines and reports regarding new, or new uses of, numbering or addressing resources. Examples of such areas of responsibility are NPA Relief Planning and Implementation, NPA Allocation, NANP Exhaust, 500/900 portability, Resources for Machine-to-Machine communications etc. Document Management/Maintenance (DMM) is responsible for managing non-substantive issues to keep INC documents and website up to date, as well as revising documents for readability and usability without changing the technical or regulatory meaning/content of the document(s) being maintained.Slide3

Issue 719: Available “Red” Blocks where PSTN Activation has not been confirmed
Most rate center pools are now replenished by the opening of new codes rather than donated blocks. When a new code is opened, blocks not assigned to the code holder are placed in the pool with a future available date and marked “red” until the code holder confirms activation in the PSTN and all other code holder responsibilities have been met.When code holders don’t fulfill their responsibilities within required timeframes, there are negative impacts to block holders that have to accept “red” blocks from the pool because there are no other blocks available in the pool.INC added text to the Thousands-Block Pooling Guidelines:Outlining the negative impacts to block holders when code holders fail to fulfill their responsibilitiesTo note that after the code holder has belatedly loaded the code in NPAC, NPAC personnel will now have two business days to add a block holder’s block in NPAC. Expanding the PA’s ability to facilitate and streamline communication between the block holder and the code holder when the code holder hasn’t fulfilled its responsibilities4Slide5
