APPEAL PROCESS

1. Service users or sponsoring Federal Organizations may appeal any priority level assignment, denial, revision,
revocation, approval, or disapproval to the TSP Program Office within 30 days of notification to the service user. The
appeal must include supporting factual details. (NOTE: Non-Federal service users must appeal through their sponsor.)
An appeal that includes a claim of new information may be submitted at any time.
2. Service users may appeal any priority action to the TSP Program Office within 30 days of notification of the action.
All TSP appeals must be filed using this form. Submit the completed appeal form, along with copies of any relevant
correspondence, to the TSP Program Office. A copy of the appeal package, clearly marked as an information copy,
must also be submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The TSP Program Office will determine the
disposition of the appeal and respond within 30 days of receipt.

3. If the service user is not satisfied with the TSP Program Office's decision, they may then escalate the appeal to the
Manager, NCS. This escalation must be submitted within 30 days of the TSP Program Office's notice of action on the
initial appeal. The service user will submit a letter explaining the reason for escalating the appeal and attach the appeal
package previously submitted to the TSP Program Office. The Manager, NCS will determine the disposition of the appeal
and respond to the service user within 30 days of receipt.

4. Service users may only appeal a priority action directly to the FCC after first submitting an appeal to the TSP
Program Office and escalating the appeal to the Manager, NCS. This appeal must be submitted to the FCC within 30
days of notification of the decision made by the Manager, NCS on the escalated appeal. The service user will submit a
letter to the FCC Common Carrier Bureau detailing the reasons for appealing the decision made by the Manager, NCS.
Copies of the letter of appeal to the FCC will be submitted to the TSP Program Office, Manager, NCS, and any other
parties directly involved. The FCC will not issue a public notice of an appeal. The FCC will provide notice of its
decision on the appeal to all parties of record.

5. Following the FCC's decision, involved parties may file a response to the FCC within 20 days of the FCC's appeal
determination. The organization that originally filed the appeal may then file replies to the FCC's decision within 10
days of the FCC's response. Additionally, the TSP Program Manager may appeal any FCC revision, approval, or
disapproval to the FCC.
