Analysis:
SUPPORT — Dividing the 714 Area Code in two with Area B as depicted in the California
Public Utilities Commission's Alternatives # 4 and #6 maintaining the 714 area code.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is holding meetings and receiving
comments on the possibility of either dividing the 714 area code in two or assigning an
overlay number.
The following is a table of general characteristics of these options as provided by the CPUC:

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: Feb. 5, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 07-03
1. SB 4 (Oropeza) - State Beaches & Parks, Smoking Ban as introduced
SB 4 would make it an infraction for a person to smoke, as defined, a pipe, cigar, or cigarette
on a state coastal beach or in a unit of the state park system, as defined. The bill would
establish a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime. This bill would permit the
Department of Parks and Recreation or another relevant state agency to develop and post
signs at a state coastal beach or a unit of the state park system to provide notice of the
smoking prohibition, as specified.
This bill would align the State's smoking policy for state beaches more closely with the
current city policy which bans smoking on beach. Under current law, there is a disparity
between city and state codes. Because of this disparity, there is often a question for
beachgoers and for those who enforce as to where the boundaries between smoking and
non-smoking areas begin. If adopted, SB 4 would remove this issue by providing continuity
in the law at city and state beaches.
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee is recommending that the City Council take a
position in support of SB 4.

• The CPUC has not decided which region will receive the new area code if an area
code split is implemented.
• Those consumers who order new telephone numbers or services will receive the new
area code if the CPUC implements an area code overlay.
LhftW/JWWWrip +
5. What is an area code split?
• Traditionally, area codes have been split to provide more prefixes for the
FM telecommunications industry and its customers, creating smaller geographic areas.
Area code splits create new area codes by splitting a geographical region in multiple
ways. Only one area code is assigned to a particular geographical region. Some
people will be able to retain the 714 area code while others will have to change their

Common Questions and Answers -Area Code 714 Page 2 of 4
area code to the new 657 area code.
P 12 OW
6. What is an area code overlay?
• An area code overlay is a form of area code change that adds area code(s)to the
same geographic region. Therefore, multiple area codes co-exist within the same
geographic region. People with telephone numbers with the 714 area code will retain
their current telephone number(s) and area code. People who would like to have new
or additional telephone numbers or telecommunications services may be given
telephone numbers with the new 657 area code.
7. Will I have to change my telephone number or area code?
• If an area code split is implemented then some people will have to change their area
code to the new 657 area code. This depends on the rate center associated with the
telephone number. Check out the list of prefixes associated with a particular rate center
called Prefix and Rate Center List.
• If an area code overlay is implemented then people will be able to retain their current
telephone number and area code.
8. When will telephone numbers with the new 657 area code be available?
• Telephone numbers with the new 657 area code will be available after the
implementation of the area code change is completed.
9. How about giving cellular phones, faxes, ATM machines, and other non-
geographical devices or services the new 657 area code instead?
• This form of area code change is referred to or known as a technology-specific overlay
(TSO).
• On three occasions, the CPUC has requested the FCC for authority to implement a
form of a technology-specific overlay. For the first two occasions, the CPUC requested
that phone numbers from wireless services get a separate area code. However, the
FCC did not respond to these CPUC requests.
• In September 2005, in response to the CPUC's third request for authority to implement
a TSO, the FCC partially granted the CPUC's request. However, the FCC did not grant
the CPUC authority to permanently maintain seven-digit dialing in the geographic
region(s)where the TSO would be implemented. Moreover, the phone numbers
associated with wireless services were excluded from the list of those phone numbers
that would get a separate area code. The FCC's partial granting of the CPUC's request
did not include enough of the elements of the CPUC's proposal. As a result, the
benefits of implementing the TSO the FCC authorized did not outweigh the costs of
doing so.
10. Will the way I dial my calls, i.e. dialing procedure, change?
• No, if an area code split is implemented.
• Yes, if an area code overlay is implemented. People must dial the area code +
telephone number for all calls. Even if you are calling your next door neighbor or within
a house, you must dial the area code + telephone number.
o The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)requires dialing the area code+
telephone number for all calls where an area code overlay exists.The FCC believes that
this would maximize numbering resource optimization, minimize anti-competitive effects
due to dialing disparities, and avoid customer confusion.
o Do I have to dial a"V before the area code and telephone number?Yes,the North
American Numbering Plan Administrator no longer assigns new area codes that have a
zero or one in the middle digit.This was the indicator that allowed the switching network to
identify an area code. Since the new area codes look similar to prefixes,the
telecommunications service providers operating in California decided to use the"1"to
identify that the following three digits dialed represent the area code and not the prefix.

Common Questions and Answers - Area Code 714 Page 3 of 4
11. Will there be a change in how I dial emergency calls to 9-1-1?
• No. People can still just dial only three digits to reach 9-1-1. No additional digits will be
required to make emergency calls. People can make emergency calls the same way
they do so today.
12. Will there be a change in how I dial other N-1-1 phone numbers?
. No. People can still just dial only three digits to call N-1-1 phone numbers such as 211,
311, 411, 511, 611, and 711.
13. How will customer directory listings be impacted?
. The telecommunications industry will be updating the directory listings in the white
pages for all affected communities to identify the associated area code of a telephone
number. Individual customers are responsible for any changes to listings appearing in
other directories. Each customer is responsible for telephone numbers appearing in
any display advertising.
14. What can individuals do to prepare if the CPUC decided to implement an area
code split?
• Reprogram equipment or features, i.e. automatic dial, speed-dial, call forwarding,
modems for computer or internet dial-up access, etc. programmed to dial the new 657
area code if you received the new area code.
• Update items like stationary, checks, etc. to include the new 657 area code if you
received the new area code.
• Teach families, friends, etc. to dial the new 657 area code if you received the new area
code.
• When asking for someone else's number, remember to ask for the area code too.
• Check with your service provider if manual or over-the-air reprogramming of your cell
phone is needed to account for the new 657 area code if you received the new area
code.
15. What can individuals do to prepare if the CPUC decided to implement an area
code overlay?
• Contact security or alarm vendors to update dial-up numbers to avoid a break in
security routines and contacts.
• Reprogram equipment or features, i.e. automatic dial, speed-dial, call forwarding,
modems for computer or internet dial-up access, etc. programmed to dial seven digits
to dial "1" + area code + telephone number.
• Update items like stationary, checks, etc. to include your area code + telephone
number.
• Start thinking of dialing the area code + telephone number for all calls.
• Teach families, friends, etc. to dial the area code+ telephone number for all calls.
• Give your area code + telephone number, not just the telephone number, as needed.
• When asking for someone else's number, remember to ask for the area code too.
• Remember that the 714 and 657 area codes co-exist within the same geographic
region.
• During implementation of the area code overlay, businesses with telephone numbers
with the 714 area code should do the following:
o Notify alarm service providers of all appropriate area code+telephone number(s)so alarm
service records and equipment can be updated as needed.
o Ensure security door and gate systems are reprogrammed to dial'1"+area code+
telephone number.
o Reprogram any call-forwarding, automatic-dial or speed-dial features to dial"1"+area
code+telephone number.

Common Questions and Answers -Area Code 714 Page 4 of 4
o Test telephone equipment to determine if it can dial and receive"1"+area code+
telephone number.Questions regarding changes in telephone equipment should be
directed to telephone equipment vendors.
o Update items like stationary, checks, business cards, advertisements,promotional items,
brochures, internet web pages, catalogs,etc.to include your area code+telephone
number.
o Teach employees, coworkers,customers,etc.to dial the area code+telephone number
for all calls.
o Give your area code+telephone number, not just the telephone number.
16. Who is responsible for costs incurred to update customer phone equipments,
advertising materials, etc., if necessary?
• Individual consumers are responsible for these costs.
17. Will the cost of a call differ because of the area code change?
. No.
18. Will calls between a telephone number with the 657 area code and a telephone
number with the 714 area code be considered long-distance?
. Calls that were local before the area code change will remain local calls. The distance,
time of day, and length of a call determine the price of a call.
19. If I dial a "0" before the area code +telephone number, will there be special
charges for that call?
. It is possible for there to be special charges if one dials a "0" before the area code +
telephone number. There may be special operator-assisted rates or credit card rates
for this type of a call. It depends on your telecommunications service provider. Check
with your service provider for additional information.

SB 4 Senate Bill - INTRODUCED Page 1 of 2
BILL NUMBER: SB 4 INTRODUCED
BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Senator Oropeza
DECEMBER 4, 2006
An act to add Section 5008.9 to the Public Resources Code,
relating to public resources.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 4, as introduced, Oropeza. Public resources: state beaches and
parks: smoking ban.
(1) Existing law makes it an infraction for a person to smoke a
cigarette, cigar, or other tobacco-related product within 25 feet of
a playground or tot lot sandbox area.
This bill would make it an infraction for a person to smoke, as
defined, a pipe, cigar, or cigarette on a state coastal beach or in a
unit of the state park system, as defined. The bill would establish
a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime.
This bill would permit the Department of Parks and Recreation or
another relevant state agency to develop and post signs at a state
coastal beach or a unit of the state park system to provide notice of
the smoking prohibition, as specified.
(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
