Since the Natural Area Coding System is such a large system that needs a long time to get accepted in the world, it was not practical to protect it using the patent laws.
The Natural Area Coding System is a geodetic system to unify all geographic coordinates, area codes, addresses, postal codes, map grids and property identifiers in the world into a single efficient representation called Natural Area Codes.
The Natural Area Coding System has also first in the world unified the concepts of geographic areas and geographic locations based on a simple fact: any geographic location is just a relatively small area, and use the same representation to represent both areas and locations anywhere in the world.

NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM DATA The Natural Heritage Program is the state's most comprehensive source of information on rare and endangered animals and plants, and exemplary natural communities, known collectively as "elements of natural diversity." Since 1976, the program has systematically gathered information on the occurrence and the status of the state's ecological resources.
The absence of natural areas cannot be taken as an indication of absence of elements or of ecological concerns.
Natural Heritage Program biologists are often able to give indications of the potential for concern in unsurveyed areas, and the CGIA map database is not a substitute for this kind of interpretation.

The new area code taking on portions of the 805 territory is expected to be in use by early 1999.
Already, area code relief coordinators, such as Hescox, have been forced to delve into area codes that don't have the traditional 0 or 1 as the second digit, such as the 760 code that will soon govern long distance calls to parts of eastern Kern County.

In order to accommodate an ever increasing need for new telephone numbers in western Pennsylvania (usa), the 412 telephone area code was recently split into two area codes, 412 and 724.
Whether a given phone number remained in the 412 area code or switched to the new 724 area code was determined by its exchange (first three digits).
