New Forecast for 814 Area Code
The North American Numbering Plan Administration has pushed back the expected exhaust date for the 814 area code by two years, which may mean a delay in plans to change the number in the region.
The area code is now projected to run out of numbers in early 2015. The earlier forecast said available numbers would be gone by early 2013.
The administration says one reason for the change is that telephone-service providers in the 814 area-code region needed fewer new numbers in 2010 than they thought they would.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission postponed a pre-hearing conference scheduled for Tuesday in Harrisburg to discuss when and where to hold public hearings and technical conferences about the 814 area code. Now, commissioners say they will take the new projection into consideration before deciding how to proceed.
The PUC had decided to split the region in two and assign the 582 area code to most of the western half of the region.
