    Ah, thank you for supplying the PDN1619 & PDN1709 documents, however, as stated in original inquiry status of obsolescence was already known.
    Redesign is not an option at this point, but appreciate the recommendation for potential part family's to look at.

You are about 6 years too late. That EPM7xxxS part/family went EOL back in 2017, last order 6/17, last ship 12/17.

See attached PDN 1619.

There is no exact drop in replacement. It is a 5V part, Altera/Intel does not produce any equivalent any more.

The EPM3nnnA series was a 3.3V follow on with similar functionality and pinouts, but it was last order 2/18, last ship 9/18.

See attached PDN 1709.

You could do a redesign with a more modern equivalent (like a MAX5 or MAX10 series part) but it will be a 3.3V solution
and a redesign. There is no direct drop in solution.
