    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.
