What happens after NANPA notifies the PUC a new area code is needed?
NANPA holds a series of meetings with representatives of the telecommunications industry, such as local and long distance companies and related industries, such as emergency 911 systems, burglar alarms systems and portable telephone providers; and affected local communities. The representatives consider a variety of options and comments, then forward a recommendation to the PUC. During an open meeting, the PUC can accept, reject or modify the NANPA recommendation.
