(Key: a = any alpha character, a-z; n = any numeric character, 0-9;
x = any alpha or numeric character, a-z or 0-9)
These CLLI code elements may be combined into the following formats:
(a) Place, state, building, and entity (11 characters)
(b) Place, state, and nonbuilding location (11 characters)
(c) Place, state, and customer location (11 characters)
(d) Place, state, and building (8 characters)
Note: When it is not necessary to identify an entity within a building, the 8-
character format may be used.
When software cross-connectable locations are being identified, the 11character
format must be used.
A temporary place code may be developed by placing hyphens in positions
1 and 2 and alpha characters in positions 3 and 4. When a permanent
place code is assigned, the temporary place code must be removed.
When a place name contains less than 4 characters, the place code is left
justified in the place code field, and unused positions in the field must be
blank filled.
