25、ce Providers (ASP) and Access Service Customers (ASC) with general procedures for the installation and maintenance of Special Access Services, and WATS Access Lines and Switched Access Services Feature Group “A“. The contents of this document are generic. Specific operational procedures are covered
26、in documentation provided by the ASP(s) and ASC(s). This document does not replace nor supersede tariffs, contracts or any other legally binding documents. In addition to other operational and technical agreements made at the Next Generation Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NGIIF), this docum
27、ent is being reissued to incorporate the following changes: Standardization of the Issue Number and publication date to agree with other sections of the NGIIF Reference Document.

Provides status reports to the ASCs regarding installation and repair activity. 3 TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE PRIORITY (TSP) GUIDELINES This section provides TSP installation and maintenance guidelines for access
41、 services and generic administrative procedures and interfaces between ASCs and the ASPs. The TSP system provides for the priority treatment of National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunication services in order to prioritize their installation and maintenance. In order for the TSP s
42、ystem to be effective, it MUST be incorporated into the day-to-day operating procedures for all ASPs and ASCs. All communications carriers are expected to cooperate in the installation and restoration of services with TSP that involve the facilities of more than one carrier. 3.1 Domestic NSEP Servic
43、es The NSEP TSP system and procedures provide priority treatment to the following domestic telecommunication services (including portions of U.S. international telecommunication services provided by U.S. providers) for which provisioning or restoration priority levels are requested, assigned, and ap
44、proved: Commercially provided private services and public switched services: Note: Initially, the NSEP TSP systems applicability to public switched services is limited to provisioning of such services (e.g., business, centrex, cellular, foreign exchange, Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) and other
45、services that the selected provider is able to provision) and restoration of services that the selected provider is able to restore. Services that are provided by Government and/or non common carriers and are interconnected to common carrier services assigned a priority level pursuant to Section 9 o
46、f the FCCs TSP system rules. 3.2 Control Services and Orderwires The NSEP TSP system and procedures are not applicable to authorize priority treatment to control services or orderwires owned by a service provider and needed for provisioning, restoration or maintenance of other services owned by that
47、 service provider. Such control services and orderwires shall have priority of provisioning and restoration over all other telecommunications servicers (including NS/EP services) and shall be exempt from preemption. However, the NSEP TSP system and procedures are applicable to control services or or
48、derwires leased by a service provider or user from another service provider. 3.3 Other Services The NS/EP TSP system may apply, at the discretion of and upon special arrangements by the entities involved, to authorized priority treatment to the following telecommunications services: 1) Government or
49、 non-common carrier services which are not connected to common carrier-provided services assigned a priority level. 2) Portions of U.S. international services which are provided by foreign correspondents. 8 3.4 TSP Code Identification The TSP Authorization Code is composed of twelve characters and is divided into two parts. The first nine characters comprise the TSP Control ID, a computer generated number, which is for the governments tracking purposes. A hyphen is always the tenth char
