RE: Request for Emergency Notification to change OCN for seven central office codes in Québec

Dear Ms. Robinson:

On 6 December 2017, TELUS Communications (Québec) Inc. (TCI) requested that Commission staff approve an emergency notification to change the Operating Company Number (OCN) for seven central office (CO) codes in Québec while retaining the activation date of 4 January 2018. These CO codes are 579-295, 579-296, 579-297, 579-298, 579-299, 579-301, and 873-215.

In its request, TCI indicated that the CO codes were recently assigned to OCN 8083 but should in fact be associated with OCN 2243.

Commission staff considers this request for an emergency notification for shortened intervals to be reasonable in the circumstance.

TCI is reminded that, as per the Guideline, carriers are to make their best effort to implement the new codes in the shorter timeframe, but are not obligated to implement these NPA-NXXs in their networks in less than the normal minimum 45 day activation interval and, consequently, call blocking, routing errors and/or billing errors could occur.

Sincerely,
