Here is a summary of new NPA codes in the NANP in recent years,
2002 thru 2006+, showing the "official" date of activation, the
geographic/jurisdiction affected, the old and new codes, and the
type of NPA Relief.

The 1995 through 2001 time period was the most active with new NPAs,
with anywhere from 13 to 43 new NPAs taking effect in a calendar year.
Since then, things have slowed down, more-or-less to what new NPA
activity was back in the 1980s and early 1990s (prior to 1995).

The indicated date is the "official" date of permissive dialing in
the case of a split (or "official" date of incorporation into the NANP
in the case of American Samoa, when NANP-dialing procedures
offiicaially became permissive) rather than the mandatory date of the
split...

or in the case of an overlay, when new NXX c.o.codes could "officially"
begin to take effect under the new overlay NPA code. In overlays, the
date indicated is NOT the date when (1+) ten-digit dialing (officially)
became permissive, nor is it the date when (1+) ten-digit dialing
was supposed to become mandatory, nor even the date when new
NXX c.o.codes actually began to take effect in the new overlay NPA,
but rather the date when new NXX c.o.codes could "officially" begin to
take effect in the new overlay NPA. There are some situations where the
new overlay NPA is "officially in effect", yet there are still no
active "POTS" central office codes assigned/active in the new NPA!

(*) Overlay NPAs which have been delayed in having active c.o.codes:

(Oct.2002) 947 overlay to 248 MI didn't have any POTS 947-NXX c.o.codes
until April 2005.

(Apr.2005) 769 overlay to 601 MS didn't have any POTS 769-NXX c.o.codes
until August 2006.

(May 2006) 762 overlay to 706 GA doesn't yet have any POTS 762-NXX
codes as of 2nd-Half 2006, and probably won't have any such 762-NXX
POTS c.o.codes for several years to come!

Additionally, in 2001, NPAs 878 PA overlaying 412 & 724, and 470 GA
overlaying 404/770/678, became "officially effective", yet to date,
there are still no NXX c.o.codes in these two new 2001 overlay NPA
codes.

2002 had only EIGHT new NPA codes taking effect
2003 had only THREE new NPA codes taking effect (all in Texas)
2004 had only TWO new NPA codes taking effect (CA, Am.Samoa)
2005 had only TWO new NPA codes taking effect (MS, Dom.Rep; OVERLAYS)
2006 has only FOUR new NPA codes taking effect (GA/CA/ON/PQ; OVERLAYS)

2007 will have probably only TWO new NPA codes taking effect, both in
Illinois: 779 overlaying 815, and MOST LIKELY 630 will be overlaid
with 331 before the end of the year.

POSSIBLE future Area Code activity for 2008/2009/2010/etc:
CT 203/475 overlay re-activated
CT 860/959 overlay re-activated
NE 402/531? split? overlay?

(snipped out more text and the chart of the 2002-07 time period)

NOTE that the overlay code to IL 217, possibly in 2009,
will NOT be 751 afterall, but will be 447, as mentioned
in a followup post to another recent thread I started.
The Illinois Commerce Commission decided to go with
447 rather than 751, and NANPA has agreed to change
the reservation and now assignment.

NANPA's website, http://www.nanpa.com in the "NPA Reports" section
for "NPA Codes NOT yet in Service" also now indicates the future
IL 217/447 overlay.
