The '''Local Exchange Routing Guide''' ('''LERG''') is a database of telecommunications numbering resources for use in the administration and operation of the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) by the [[North American Numbering Plan Administrator|NANP administrator]] (NANPA) and [[telecommunications service provider]]s. This data supports the local exchange network of the NANP and identifies planning changes in the network.<br />
<br />
The database has been maintained by private sector entities assigned by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) to perform the NANPA function.<br />
<br />
The database is produced in the ''TruOps Telecom Routing Administration'' (TRA) product group of [[iconectiv|iconectiv, LLC]], formerly named [[Telcordia]], a division of [[Ericsson]] since 2012.<br />
<br />
==Content and purpose==<br />
The LERG provides data to support the routing of [[telephone]] calls by service providers in the [[public switched telephone network]] (PSTN) and the interconnection points of the PSTN with [[Internet Protocol]] (IP) networks. <br />
