Area code 582
Area code 582 will be the new area code for northwestern Pennsylvania, replacing area code 814, which stands to be divided. 814 is the only one of Pennsylvania's original four area codes that has not been split or overlaid.
The 582 area code will replace 814 throughout these counties: Erie, Crawford, Warren, Venango, Forest, Clarion, Jefferson, Elk, and McKean.
Parts of Armstrong, Clearfield, Indiana, and Mercer counties also will be switched to 582. Most of the area of Clearfield and Indiana counties will retain 814; the area of most of Armstrong and Mercer counties will remain in area code 724.
582 will go into effect on February 1, 2012, unless the exhaust date is pushed back, or the split is overturned and replaced with an overlay, as has been recommended by the telecommunications industry and many local interests in the region.[1]

Following an announcement by third party area code relief planner, Neustar, that the new projected exhaust date for the 814 area code is the first quarter of 2015, not the first quarter of 2013, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today voted 5-0 to move forward with the scheduling of hearings, but suspend the timeline for implementation of area code relief.[1]
