I.D No. PSC-15-15-00006-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 whether to grant or deny, in whole or in part 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 212/646/917 area code.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 97(2)
Subject:
Area Code Overlay.
Purpose:
To authorize an area code overlay in the current 212/646/917 area code.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to grant or deny, in whole or in part 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 212/646/917 area code that serves the Manhattan area of New York City (the 917 area code also services Bronx, Queens and Staten Island). Neustar’s proposal would overlay a new area code over the current 212/646/917 area code. The area’s current dialing plan would continue. The reason for Neustar’s request is a projection that indicates the current 212/646/917 area code area will be exhausted in the first quarter of 2018. 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 take such further action as deemed warranted.
