TRA News

This page is intended to note items of pertinent interest that may be occurring with TRA data and with industry activity that may impact TRA data.  Links to other sites may exist. Items will be added top to bottom.  Retention length of items may vary.   Information on this page will be updated as may be needed - this should not be considered a daily or weekly news page. Countless activities are occurring in the telecommunications industry daily and cannot all be listed here. Comments are appreciated. Two sections to this page exist:


Future Area Code Splits in TRA Data

Based on information provided to TRA on or before the database update date identified below, the following NPA (Area Code) split details (NPA NXXs) have been entered in the TRA databases via mass updates and will be reflected in the next issue of TRA products following these dates (the specific product dates for the monthly LERG and TPM are listed). The NNAG dates are the same as the LERG. Please note, for various reasons, split details are subject to change before and during the permissive dialing period (extent of changes will vary).  Also listed on this table may be cases where a split has been identified via a NANPA PL to be forthcoming, but for which data has not yet been provided to TRA or entered into TRA databases.  Splits that may have been announced but subsequently were suspended by the regulatory body having jurisdiction, are not listed.

This table represents geographic splits only, not overlays. Where splits may have multiple end dates for permissive dialing (e.g. for wireless), the primary (usually wireline) date is listed. Information will be retained on this table for a short time past the start date of the permissive dialing period of each split. Splits are listed in order of the start date of permissive dialing.

News/Notes

  • An expanded Geographic Exchange List (GEL) has been introduced, effective 01/01/12, to replace the previous version.  The new version has expanded data mapping to NPA NXXs such as MSA, postal codes, etc.  The new version will also be produced and distributed quarterly as opposed to the semi annual distribution of the prior version.
  • The NPA NXX Activity Guide (NNAG) and NAP NXX Active Code List (NNACL) had their separate Thousands-block (TB) and non-TB versions combined into a single NNAG and a single NNACL starting 04/01/11.   An expanded and more functional optional user interface has been included.  Any diskette versions of these products were replaced by CD with email (NNAG only) and web download availability to continue as alternatives. 
  • Telemarketer's Data Source (TDS) Version 4.0 was introduced on 12/01/10 and became effective 03/01/11.  Version 4.0 adds new features and is compatible with Windows 7.  The sample available through the Catalog page at this site has been updated to also be TDS Version 4.0.
  • LERG and TPM front-ends for use with the Microsoft Access version of LERG data were updated with the 07/1/09 LERG and the 07/15/09 dated TPM to include a front-end (switchboard) supporting Microsoft Access '07.
