There are two aspects of the TSP program: restoration and provisioning. For priority restoration, a qualifying organization must first enroll its essential telecommunications lines in the telecommunications service priority (TSP) program. We recognize that Satellite Service Providers have alternative routing capabilities inherent in their networks. Nevertheless, these service providers may find it beneficial to enroll circuits between their gateway stations and the point of interface with the public switched network (PSTN), where those locations include circuits that are used primarily for national security or emergency preparedness and response purposes. This could include circuits to critical locations that are designated by Federal, state, tribal, and local plans as vital to national security and emergency preparedness and response.
