Do I need to be registered in NAS to submit an NRUF FCC Form 502?
To submit an NRUF FCC Form 502, you must be a registered user of NAS and the account must be in an active status.
I received an error stating the NPA-NXX or NPA-NXX-X is not assigned to the OCN. How do I correct this?
1. Per NANPA records, the numbering resource is not assigned to the OCN reported on the form as of December 31 for the February 1 NRUF reporting period and June 30 for the August 1 NRUF reporting period. Service Providers should refer to the Part 3 approval date rather than the effective date to determine if the resource must be reported if it was recently returned, OCN changed or resource was transferred.

1. Per NANPA records, the numbering resource is not assigned as of December 31 for the February 1 NRUF reporting period and June 30 for the August 1 NRUF reporting period. Service Providers should refer to the Part 3 approval date rather than the effective date to determine if the resource must be reported if it was recently returned. If the resource was assigned after the “as of” date, service providers do not need to report on the NPA-NXX or NPA-NXX-X until the next reporting period.
Why were only some rows provided in my FCC Form 502 included in the NRUF Utilization and/or the NRUF Forecast Reports?
If there is a blank row in between rows with data, NAS will not read any information entered below a blank row.
NRUF errors must be resolved and resubmitted for the data to appear in the NRUF Utilization and/or Forecast Reports.
I submitted my FCC Form 502 and didn’t receive any errors in my email response. What are my next steps?
NANPA recommends service providers and consultants to pull the NRUF Utilization Missing Report the next business day, after receiving a confirmation that the NRUF report has been accepted. The NRUF Utilization Missing Report can be found in NAS by going to the NRUF toolbar and selecting Reports. If there are any Central Office codes (NPA-NXXs) and/or Thousands-Blocks (NPA-NXX-Xs) appearing on the NRUF Utilization Missing Report, action is required.
Why is the CO code and/or thousands-block not appearing in the NRUF Utilization Report, but it was reported in my FCC Form 502?
If your NRUF response/reply includes errors, the row(s) containing errors are not considered on file and must be corrected. When completing the forms, you must enter your data starting on the header rows. This is required for NAS to read/process the data. The header row on the utilization forms is row 21, and on the forecast forms it is row 22.
The FCC Form 502 is stating I need a password and/or the field is protected. How do I proceed?
The FCC Form 502 has enabled macros. You must not try to populate any cell that is protected. Company information can only be populated on the “Company Info” tab. For the geographic FCC Form 502, Forms U1, U2, U3 and U4, you must start at row 21 and can only populate columns A through J. For Forms F1A/B, F2A/B, you must start populating at row 22 columns A through H. For Forms F3A/B you must start populating on row 22 columns B through H.
How do I delete rows in the Non-Geographic FCC Form 502 Utilization/Forecast forms?
To remove a row, delete all data from the cells in that row and then click the “Check the Data Before Submitting” button in the upper-right corner to delete those rows. Note: Do not leave blank rows between completed rows. Any data entered below a blank row will not be processed.

How do I add rows to the Non-Geographic FCC Form 502 Utilization/Forecast forms?
For Forms U2 and U4, you may copy and paste or enter data starting at row 21, columns A, and C through H; and Form F3B starting at row 22, columns B and D through H. For the available, utilization and total columns, you must click the “Check the Data Before Submitting” button in the upper-right corner for these columns to calculate.
If that does not work, you may find detailed instructions in the NRUF Non-Geographic Job Aid located here, https://www.nanpa.com/nruf/requirements-file.
