On December 18, 2006, Sprint Nextel filed a request for waiver in order to obtain a new Local Routing Number (LRN) Block in the Lake Preston rate center even though Sprint Nextel currently has a LRN in service in LATA (Vermillion). "This LRN is needed so [Sprint Nextel] may port our customers to the new LRN and then descope the old LRN when all numbers have been switched. The current LRN will then be disconnected as soon as the last number is ported to the new LRN and the Industry allows us to do it. Sprint Nextel will also be donating the NPA_NXX block back to the Industry as soon as all ports are complete."
