Reference:

Code sets equate to Operating Company Number (OCN) values, as maintained by iconectiv Telecom Routing Administration (TRA).

OCN codes are assigned by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) as NECA Company Codes and used as OCN values by iconectiv. They are currently 4 numeric values but can reflect the NECA Company Code extension of the 3rd and 4th characters to alpha or numeric.
