TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES PRIORITY (N)
Description of the Service
The TSP System is a service that provides for the priority provisioning and/or restoration of
National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunications services. The TSP
System applies only to NSEP services, includes local exchange service, Foreign Exchange
Service, and Private Line Service and Channels, and provides the Telephone Company with a
guide to the sequence in which services are to be provisioned and/or restored.
All facilities that can be identified by a unique circuit identifier can be provisioned for TSP
service by the Telephone Company.
Obtaininq TSP System Service
The Executive Office of the President through the TSP Program Office , is empowered with the
authority to receive, evaluate and process requests for TSP services. The TSP Program Office
makes the priority level assignments and issues the TSP authorization code reflecting the
priority assignment associated with a request. The customer provides the TSP authorization
code, in addition to all the other details necessary to complete the order to the Telephone
Company to obtain TSP System service.
The TSP authorization code, assigned on a per order basis, consists of a 12-character field
consisting of a nine-character control 10 followed by a dash and a two-character field specifying
the priority level assignment. Its structure is as follows:
TSPxxxxxn-
The "s represent a sequence of numbers unique to each TSP authorization code and the "
is a one character alphanumeric check digit. The first "" contains the provisioning priority level
assignment and the second "" contains the restoration priority level assignment.(N)

TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES PRIORITY (Continued)(N)
Provisioninq Priority
If the customer requires service within a shorter time interval than the Telephone Company can
provide, and the requested service qualifies for TSP, the customer may elect to invoke National
Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) Treatment and obtain the appropriate provisioning
priority assignment from the TSP Program Office. Acceptable assignment code values are: E
, 2, 3, 4, 5 and
The assignment of the value "E" denotes Emergency Provisioning and implies the service has
the most critical provisioning requirements and the Telephone Company will respond
accordingly. The Telephone Company will take immediate action to provide the requested
service at the earliest possible date.
The assignment values of 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 are treated as essential service priorities and the
Telephone Company will adjust its available resources to meet the customer s requested due
date. The value "0" implies no provisioning priority.
Restoration Priority
A TSP authorization code for restoration priority classifies the service as being among the
nation s most important NSEP telecommunications services. The Telephone Company will
restore these services before services without restoration priority assignments in the order of
priority assignments. Acceptable values are: 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 or 0 with the value "1" being the
highest priority.
When the Telephone Company recognizes a TSP as being out of service, unusable or receives
a trouble report, available resources will be dispatched to restore the service as quickly as
practicable. A priority value of 1 , 2 , or 3 requires dispatch outside normal business hours if
necessary to restore the service. A priority value of 4 or 5 only requires dispatch outside of
normal business hours if the next business day is more than 24 hours away. If the value "0" has
been assigned , then no restoration priority is applicable to this service.
The minimum period for service is one month.(N)

Obliqations of the Customer
In all instances, the customer is responsible for obtaining the appropriate TSP authorization
code and providing that code to the Telephone Company.
The TSP System service customer must also be the customer for the facilities with which TSP
service is associated. Only the customer is allowed to order TSP System service.
All points of a multipoint service configuration must have the same restoration priority
assignment and must satisfy the requirements of that assignment. In obtaining TSP System
service , the customer consents to the release of certain information by the Telephone Company
to the federal government in order to maintain and administer the TSP System. Such
information includes: the customer s name, telephone number and mailing address, the TSP
authorization code and the circuit or service 10 number associated with the National Security
Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) service.
When a customer invokes TSP Treatment, the Telephone Company will attempt to notify the
customer of expected charges. However, the customer when invoking TSP Treatment must
recognize that quoting charges beforehand may not be practicable. Therefore , the customer
grants the Telephone Company the right to quote and bill charges after the provisioning of the
service.
During certain emergencies, the customer may request TSP assignments verbally and the
Telephone Company will accept such verbal notification. The customer must submit a written
order to the Telephone Company within two working days following the verbal request. If the
written order is not received within two working days , all applicable rates and charges

efficiently manage call flow. This is accomplished by the central office deployment of a technology
which routes the calling party's telephone number from the central office originating the call to the
tenninating central office serving the called party. That telephone number is held in network memory
giving the called party options including identifying the called number, answering the call, and calling
back to the originator.
Advanced Calling Services can be provided on a stand alone basis or as an enhancement to existing
custom calling features to residential and business customers in central office switches having the
generic capability to offer Advanced Calling Services.
Customers may prevent the disclosure of their telephone number when placing calls to a party with
service that reveals the calling party's number, by subscribing to either Per Call Blocking, or Per Line
Blocking.

features, and central office equipment in locations detennined by the Company. The features
described will only operate on calls originating and tenninating within suitably-equipped offices, or

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE (9-1-1)(N)
B.General
1.Definition
a.9-1-1 is the three-digit telephone number designated throughout the United States as the
emergency telephone number to be used by the public to obtain law enforcement, medical,
fire, rescue, and other emergency services.
b.9-1-1 Service enables a caller dialing 9-1-1 from a station with access to the local exchange
telephone network, arranged to provide 9-1-1 Service, to be automatically connected to the
appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). A PSAP is the communications facility,
designated for a specific territory, to which 9-1-1 calls are routed for response. The 911
Service, including non-regulated components, may be provided from any one of the
following three categories:
1)B9-1-1 (or Basic 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP but
provides no information about the location or telephone number of the caller.
2)C9-1-1 (or ANI-only 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and
provides the calling telephone number (through automatic number identification or
ANI) to the PSAP attendant who answers the call. C9-1-1 Service is comprised of
B9-1-1 Service plus ANI spill.
3)E9-1-1 (or Enhanced 9-1-1) Service automatically routes 9-1-1 calls to a PSAP and
provides the calling telephone number and address, and may also provide the name
of the telephone access line subscriber and the names of the Emergency Response
Agencies with responsibility for the caller's location. E9-1-1 will provide a PSAP with
the location of the billing or lead telephone number in cases where a nonregulated
telecommunication service provider (e.g., Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Shared
Tenant Service (STS), etc.) has failed to provide the 9-1-1 Customer with their
subscribers' names, addresses, and telephone numbers. E9-1-1 Service is
comprised of C9-1-1 Service plus ALI provisioning. E911 Service is offered subject
to the availability of central office facilities.(N)

Emergency Service Number - An Emergency Service Number (ESN) is assigned by the 9-1-1
Customer to all subscribers served by each combination of Emergency Response Agencies
(i.e., which police, fire, and ambulance service is responsible for that subscriber's location).
Thus the service area of each PSAP and Secondary PSAP can be defined in terms of the
ESNs for which it is responsible. The ESN is recorded in the ALI database (where established)
to inform the PSAP attendant which ERA is responsible for each 9-1-1 caller's location and in
the Selective Routing records (where Selective Routing is established) to assist in determining
call routing to the correct PSAP.
End User - An individual who may place a 9-1-1 call in order to obtain emergency assistance.

4)Third Party Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) Connectivity - This service provides
access to a non-Company controlled database to retrieve information for a given call
emergency assistance. Upon receipt of a call at the PSAP location, a request is
forwarded through the ANI/ALI Controller that first queries a Company-controlled
database for specific caller information via a full period data circuit. If the information
is unavailable with the Company-controlled database, software "broadcasts" a
request for data through a Frame Relay network to Third Party-controlled databases
to retrieve the data. Third Party FRAD Connectivity is composed of the two below
components.
a)FRAD Access establishes a Frame Relay connection at the Central Office as
well as whatever data circuits are needed to gain access to the Frame Relay
network provider. Data connectivity to the Third Party Frame Relay service is
additional and must be coordinated by the 9-1-1 Customer requiring service.
The third Party record provider must provide the 56k circuit.
b)Steerable ALI Software is required for each Competitive Local Provider (CLP)
or Wireless vendor or their agent for each Company-controlled database
platform to which a Non-Call Associated Signaling (NCAS) connection is
required. Steerable ALI is a Software product that provides a means of
"broadcasting" a request for data across all active channels to retrieve the
proper ANI/ALI information for a given request.(N)

1)Requirement Criteria – Regarding ALI, the Company has obligations to meet the
requirements of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (18 USC 2703),
to take prudent action to protect the privacy expectations of its subscribers. The
Company also has a common business need to protect its customer lists from
unauthorized resale and protect its internal databases from hacking. When the
company or another regulated telecommunications service provider provides the ALI
controller services to a PSAP, those requirements are met by the direct control that
the Company or other regulated provider retains over the ALI controller equipment,
DMARCS is required as a replacement step in the ALI provisioning process to
protect the Company and its subscribers. In downloading ALI to an on-premises
computer, DMARDS replaces direct dialing to the Company’s Database
Management System with direct dialing to a protected database system.(N)

2.Conditions (Cont'd)
b.Service provisioning is dependent upon the type and configuration of the 9-1-1 network that
is in place for the service area.
1)Private Switch to serving Central Office: The basic requirement is to treat the Private
Switch as if it were a Central Office, so that dedicated PS 9-1-1 Service trunks are
required from the Private Switch to its serving Central Office. There must be a
minimum of two PS 9-1-1 Service trunks or a quantity that will provide a minimum of
P.01 Transmission Grade of Service, whichever is the higher standard. The cost for
this local loop connection is the responsibility of the PS Provider for each Private
Switch owned or controlled by the PS Provider. The PS Provider is also responsible
for monitoring the performance of the PS 9-1-1 Service Trunks, by conducting
manual operational tests, from the Private Switch to the PSAP. Any PS 9-1-1
Service Trunks found to be defective shall be immediately reported to the Company.
In the case of Private Switch tandem or Private Switch host/remote networks,
dedicated PS 9-1-1 Service trunks are required from the Private Switch network
concentration point (tandem or host) to its servicing Central Office. The PS Provider
is responsible for making sure that:
(a)all phones that are connected to a PS Provider point of concentration are in the
area served by the same E9-1-1 system to ensure correct routing, and
(b)that tandeming cause no more than a four (4) second delay in completion of
the 9-1-1 call.(N)

order to provide a minimum of two E9-1-1 Service Trunks or that quantity which will
provide a minimum of P.01 Transmission Grade of Service, whichever is the higher
standard, from the PS Provider's serving Central Office to the PSAP. This may be
done via dedicated trunking from the PS to the PSAP, or it may be done via a Point
of Concentration. Thus, there may arise a need to install an E9-1-1 Selective Router
or Tandem in order to handle the traffic from numerous PS Providers. If so, the cost
for this network modification is the responsibility of the 9-1-1 Customer.
3)Termination at the PSAP: If additional lines, trunks, or termination are required from
the Point of Concentration to the PSAP to handle PS 9-1-1 Service, and/or if
additional local loop connections or terminations are required at the PSAP end,
regardless of whether there is a Point of Concentration or not, the cost of these
additions is the responsibility of the 9-1-1 Customer.

schedule may be made on behalf of the Company when a line extension
involves unusual or disproportionately large construction expendi-tures. Charges under this condition will be actual cost of construc-tion.

porary or speculative business , will be made on the condition that the
applicant pays the entire cost of new construction necessary to estab-
lish service. This charge will be paid before the construction begins.
