Carriers that receive numbering resources from the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) Administrator or that receive numbering resources from the Pooling Administrator in thousand-blocks must report forecast and utilization data semi-annually. These carriers are also required to maintain detailed internal records of their number usage. Carriers must file applications for initial and growth numbering resources. The information will be used by the FCC, state regulatory commissions, and the NANP Adminstrator to monitor numbering resource utilization and to project the date of area code and NANP exhaust.
