Telecommunications Service Priority System Clause Samples

The Telecommunications Service Priority System clause establishes a framework for prioritizing certain telecommunications services during emergencies or national security situations. It typically outlines which services or users are eligible for priority treatment, such as government agencies or critical infrastructure providers, and describes the procedures for requesting and implementing priority status. This clause ensures that essential communications remain operational and receive expedited restoration or provisioning, thereby supporting public safety and continuity of government operations during crises.
Telecommunications Service Priority System. The provisioning and restoration of Services will be in accordance with the priority system specified in Part 64, Appendix A of the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. 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 that can be discreetly identified and provides the Company with a guide to the sequence in which services are to be provisioned and/or restored. The Executive Office of the President is empowered with the authority to receive, evaluate, and process requests for NSEP TSP services. The Executive Office of the President, through the Office of Priority Telecommunications (OPT) as its administrative branch, makes the priority level assignments and issues the TSP authorization code reflecting the priority assignments associated with the Customer’s request. The Customer initiates the request for TSP service from the OPT. The Customer then provides the TSP authorization code, in addition to all other details necessary to complete the order, and submits it to the Company for appropriate action.
