In 2010, the Commission adopted
LNP provisioning flows, which include
a one-business day porting interval for
simple ports of a subscriber’s telephone
number from one provider to another. In
adopting these process flows, the
Commission indicated that carrierassigned passcodes for a customer’s
account may not be required to be
supplied by a new provider in order to
obtain a customer service record from
another provider. The Commission also
clarified that the adopted porting flows
would remain in effect until the NANC
recommends, and the commission
approves, revised provisioning flows for
the porting process. On September 19,
2012, the NANC asked the Commission
to clarify that the LNP flows and
recommendations adopted by the
Commission in its LNP Standard Fields
Order apply to all ports, not just simple
ports, thereby prohibiting the use of a
carrier-initiated passcode for any
porting request. On December 10, 2012,
the NANC asked the Commission to
adopt clarifying revisions to LNP
