SECTION 7 - Telecommunications Service Priority N

N

7.1 General

A. The Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) Program is a federal program
used to identify and prioritize telecommunications services that support national
security or emergency preparedness (NS/EP) missions.

NS/EP services are defined as those telecommunications services which are used
to maintain a state of readiness or respond to and manage any event or crisis
which causes or could cause injury or harm to the population, damage or loss to
property, or degrades or threatens the NS/EP posture of the United States.

TSP restoration and/or provisioning shall be provided in accordance with Part 64,
Appendix A of the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and Regulations
(47 C.F.R.), and the "Service Vendor Handbook For The Telecommunications
Service Priority (TSP) Program" and the "Service User Manual for the
Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System” (NCS Manual 3-1-1)
(Service User Manual) issued and updated as necessary by the Office of Priority
Telecommunications (OPT) of the National Communications System. Any
changes to or reissuance of these regulations or manuals supersede tariff language
contained herein.

B. The TSP program has two components, restoration and provisioning.

1. A restoration priority is applied to new or existing telecommunications
services to ensure restoration before any other services during a service
outage. TSP restoration priorities must be requested and assigned before a
service outage occurs.

2. A provisioning priority is obtained to facilitate priority installation of new
telecommunications services during a service outage. Provisioning on a
priority basis becomes necessary when an end-user has an urgent
requirement for a new NS/EP service that must be installed immediately
or by a specific due date that can be met only by a shorter than standard or
expedited Company provisioning time frame. As a matter of general
practice, existing TSP services will be restored before provisioning new
TSP services.

7.2. TSP Request Process

A. Restoration

To request a TSP restoration priority assignment, a prospective TSP user must:

1. Determine that the user’s telecommunications service supports an NS/EP
function under one of the following four TSP categories.

National Security Leadership
National Security Posture and U.S. Population Attack Warning
Public Health, Safety, and Maintenance of Law and Order
Public Welfare and Maintenance of National Economic Posture

2. Identify the priority level to be requested for the telecommunications
service. The priority level is determined by the end-user's TSP category
and service profile. The service profile defines the user's level of support
to the portion of the telecommunications service that the user owns and
operates, such as Customer premises equipment or wiring. The five levels
of priority and seven element groups that define the service profile are
contained in the Service User Manual.

3. Complete the TSP Request for Service Users form (SF 315) available on
the National Communications System (NCS) website (http://tsp.ncs.gov/).

4. For non-federal users, have their TSP requests approved by a federal
agency sponsor. Non-federal users should contact the OPT, at the NCS
website (http://tsp.ncs.gov/), for information on identifying a sponsor for
TSP requests.

5. Submit the SF 315 to the OPT.

6. Upon receipt of the TSP Authorization Code from the OPT, notify the
Company, and include the TSP Authorization Code in any service order to
the Company requesting restoration of NS/EP services.

7.2. TSP Request Process (cont’d)

B. Provisioning

To request a TSP provisioning priority assignment, a prospective TSP user must
follow the same steps listed in 7.2.A. above for restoration priority assignment
except for the following differences. The user should:

Certify that its telecommunications service is an Emergency service. Emergency
services are those that support one of the NS/EP functions listed on 7.2.A.1 and
are so critical that they must be provisioned at the earliest possible time, without
regard to cost to the user.

Verify that the Company cannot meet the service due date without a TSP
assignment.

Obtain approval from the end-user's invocation official to request a provisioning
priority. Invocation officials are designated individuals with the authority to
request TSP provisioning for a telecommunications service, and include the head
or director of a federal agency, commander of a unified/specified military
command, chief of a military service, commander of a major military command,
or state governor.

identified "end-to-end" by providing to subcontractors and interconnecting
carriers the restoration priority level assigned to a service.

K. Disclose content of the NS/EP TSP database only as may be required by law.

L. Comply with regulations and procedures supplemental to and consistent with

7.5 Preemption

When spare facilities are not available, it may be necessary for the Company to preempt
the facilities required to provision or restore a TSP service. When preemption is
necessary, non-TSP services may be preempted based on the Company's best judgment.
If no suitable spare or non-TSP services are available, the Company may preempt an
existing TSP service to restore a TSP service with a higher restoration priority
assignment. When preemption is necessary, prior consent of the service user whose
service will be preempted is not required; however, the Company will make every
reasonable effort to notify the preempted.
