The NRUF only pertains to BLOCKS assigned to your OCN. Returning blocks in NPAC only pertains to TNs you've ported to your LRN that you no longer use. You mixed up the third component of reporting disconnects. That's done in the RND database and those should be reported monthly.

All 3 are totally separate from each other and used for different purposes.

- NRUF it to report number utilization and forecasting of NXX blocks
- NPAC is the database used for porting telephone numbers
-RND is used for reporting numbers that are disconnected. In my opinion, if the numbering administration was smart they would track the ported TNs no longer in use in the RND database so the original carrier can reclaim the numbers that are no longer being used because a lot of TNs get lost when the customer disconnects but they are not returned to the original carrier.

I'm just learning about NRUF 502.

As I read the documentation (and some Googling):

Every phone number in the blocks I have are either Assigned,
Intermediate, Reserved, Aging, or Administrative.
Ported out numbers count as assigned.
Returned ported numbers are available.
I do this for blocks that I got from NANPA.
I do not do it for ported numbers.

I'm supposed to be able to tell in Neustar SOA what numbers have
disconnected. I've reached out to them to figure out how to do that. I
couldn't find documentation that was direct enough for me to know it
was the right thing.
