representing the City of Rancho Cordova provided written comment, requesting the CPUC to not split the City of Rancho Cordova and to implement an overlay instead. Of the 54 people who attended the three Public Participation Meetings, 53 supported the overlay alternative. Discussion As discussed above, the 916 NPA is in jeopardy of exhaustion, which no conservation measures and/or member rationing will adequately address, this satisfying the requirements of Pub. Util. Code § 7943(c). In this application, NANPA provided descriptions of relief options; concluding that 916 NPA is “the somewhat unique in that the CO code assignment allocation is centralized to such a degree that no geographic split alternative for the 916 NPA would satisfy the Relief Planning Guidelines requirement that a severe imbalance in lives of the area codes resulting from the split be avoided”. The September 18, 2015 NRUF report, as updated in April 2016, projects that the 916 area code will exhaust in the first quarter of 2018, thus requiring both the Commission and NANPA to act before exhaust occurs. NANPA utilizes data in the NRUF in forecasting when the 916 area code will exhaust, and satisfies Pub. Util. Code § 7936. As noted above, Commission staff held three meetings for representatives of local jurisdictions and the public in order to inform them of the proposed area code relief options. Both NANPA and the industry recommended an overlay alternative to resolve the forecasted exhaust of the 916 area code, and majority of the attendees at the three public meetings, including local jurisdiction officials expressed support for the overlay alternative.
