Further to my previous message [TD 25:64] about one-call centers, the
FCC has designated 811 as a universal one-call number. All available
N11 codes are now in use in the United States, either by FCC assignment
or by what the FCC calls "traditional usage":

211 Community Information and Referral Services
311 Non-Emergency Police and Other Governmental Services
411 Local Directory Assistance
511 Traffic and Transportation Information (US);
Available for Reassignment (Canada)
611 Repair Service
711 Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS)
811 Access to One Call Services to Protect Pipeline and
Utilities from Excavation Damage (US); Available for
Reassignment (Canada)
911 Emergency

According to the Dig Safely website, no one-call center has started
using 811 yet. http://tinyurl.com/bcuek

According to the FCC order, it must be fully implemented by April 2007.
