What is NAS?

The NANP Administration System (NAS) is a system used to submit various numbering resource applications, collecting numbering resource utilization, and forecast data and issuing notifications on numbering related matters.

Who is eligible to register for NAS?

Service providers that are authorized to direct access to numbering resources by the appropriate regulatory authority. Regulatory bodies and entities that have oversight on numbering and 911 related matters.

As a consultant for one or more service providers, what is required to register?

All consultants who register as a new NAS user must have a letter of authorization (LOA) on file for each service provider for whom they intend to submit requests.  The LOA shall:

  • be on the SP client’s company letterhead,
  • provide the date the letter is signed,
  • list the authorized consultant’s name (or consultant company name)
  • specify that the consultant is authorized to access NAS on the SP’s behalf
  • identify all Operating Company Numbers (OCNs), Parent Operating Company Numbers (OCNs), National Emergency Number Association (NENA)IDs, and Interexchange Access Customers [IACs aka Access Customer Name Abbreviation (ACNA)] under the ownership of the SP client that the SPC user has authorization to add to their user profile and submit and view data for in NAS, and
  • contain the first and last name, email, and phone number of the authorized representative, and
  • be signed by an authorized representative (e.g., officer of the company) of the SP client.

The LOA should be emailed to support@nanpa.com.

When an LOA is not on file for the SP client, the registration shall be rejected. When one or more Operating Company Numbers (OCNs), National Emergency Number Association (NENA)IDs, and Interexchange Access Customers [IACs aka Access Customer Name Abbreviation (ACNA)] under the ownership of the SP client is missing from the LOA, the item missing shall be removed from the SPC user’s registration.

Who is required to file an NRUF?

All carriers that receive numbering resources from NANPA, must report utilization and forecast data. In addition, carriers that receive intermediate numbers must report utilization data for such numbers in their inventories.

What are the NRUF Form 502 submission methods?

There are three submission methods supported by NAS: REST API interface (Application Programming Interface), SFTP interface (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and web-based User Interface.

Do I need to be registered in NAS to submit an NRUF Form 502?

To submit an NRUF Form 502, you must be a registered user of NAS and the account must be in an active status. 

General Pooling Related Questions

How do I determine if a rate center is in pooling or not?

You can locate this information on the website, by going to Thousands-Block Reports, select NPA/Rate Center Reports. Then select the state and NPA and click Submit. This will bring up a list of rate centers with their current pooling status. To view the Rate Center Pooling Status Designations, select the Rate Center Pooling Status Designations Defined on the Thousands-Block Reports page.
 

If I choose to participate in Thousands-Block number pooling in an optional rate center, can I withdraw from pooling in an optional rate center at any time?

Once you’ve submitted a thousands-block forecast or a thousands-block disconnect, then you cannot withdraw from pooling in an optional rate center.

How do I update a rate center from an “Excluded” to “Optional” pooling status so that I can submit a Pool Replenishment Request, New Thousands-Block Request, Thousands-Block Disconnect Request, or Seek Voluntary Thousands-Block Disconnects?

In NAS, from the Thousands-Block/CO Code toolbar, select Forecast, then select Request Update to Excluded Rate Center.

How do I determine if a thousands-block is contaminated or not?

We recommend that you query the NPAC to determine the contamination status of a thousands-block. For assistance with performing the NPAC queries, contact the NPAC help desk at 844-820-8039.
