The Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System provides telecommunications service vendors a means of identifying the services that should be restored or provisioned first in the event of an emergency or crisis; and the legal protection giving a preference to certain users over others. This critical aspect of the TSP program benefits government at all levels as well as the general public. The collection includes mechanisms to collect information to request a priority, to obtain a sponsor for requesting a priority, and for other administrative requirements of the program, is required from any person or organization having an NS/EP service for which they wish priority restoration from the vendor providing the service. Information is also required to allow immediate installation of a new service to support NS/EP requirements. Information is required from vendors to allow the OMNCS to track and identify the telecommunications services that are being provided priority treatment. This is a previously approved collection.

Charlie Church, Chief Information Officer, National Protection and Programs Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
