value of the services it provides through
technical assistance, an evaluation form
is also requested of those receiving
technical assistance.
ECD uses the Technical Assistance
Request Form (DHS Form 9043) to
identify the number and type of
technical assistance services needed by
the State, territory, local, and tribal
agencies. This information enables ECD
to plan and align resources accordingly.
ECD considers each request based on
the priority indicated by the State, as
well as the anticipated impact of the
service offering on the implementation
of the Statewide Communications
Interoperability Plan (SCIP) and the
applicability to National Emergency
Communications Plan (NECP). The
evaluation form (DHS Form 9042) is
completed by stakeholders at the
completion of ECD technical assistance
services and enables ECD to assess the
quality of technical assistance services
provided and, in a holistic fashion,
measure the value of the services. The
information collected through these
evaluations is used by ECD for
continued improvement planning.
Approximately 100 percent of request
and evaluation forms are submitted
electronically by logging into the portal
at https://www.dhs.gov/ictapscipresources. From the website, users are
able to select the appropriate form,
either the Technical Assistance
Requests (DHS Form 9043) and/or the
TA Evaluation forms (DHS Form 9042),
to complete as a fillable PDF. Each form
is then submitted by email to either
[email protected] or
[email protected],
respectively.
The changes to the collection since
the previous OMB approval include:
updating the web address, decreasing
the estimated number of responses,
decreasing the burden time, and
increasing the cost estimates.
This is a renewal of an information
collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Telecommunications Service Priority
(TSP) is authorized by E.O. 12472, E.O.
13618 and 47 CFR part 64. The DHS
Emergency Communications Division
(ECD) uses the TSP Program to
authorize national security and
emergency preparedness organizations
to receive priority treatment for vital
voice and data circuits or other
telecommunications service, under
National Security or Emergency
Preparedness telecommunications (NS/
EP). The TSP Program provides service
vendors a Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) mandate to prioritize
requests by identifying those services
critical to national security and
emergency preparedness. A TSP
assignment ensures that it will receive
priority attention by the service vendor
before any non-TSP service.
Four broad categories serve as
guidelines for determining whether a
circuit or telecommunications service is
eligible for priority provisioning or
restoration. TSP service user
organizations may be in the Federal,
State, local, or tribal government,
critical infrastructure sectors in
industry, non-profit organizations that
perform critical NS/EP functions, or

foreign governments. Typical TSP
service users are responsible for the
command and control functions critical
to management of and response to NS/
EP situations, particularly during the
first 24 to 72 hours following an event.
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 ECD
to track and identify the
telecommunications services that are
being provided priority treatment.
The forms used are the SF314
(Revalidation for Service Users), SF315
(TSP Request for Service Users), SF317
(TSP Action Appeal for Service Users),
SF318 (TSP Service Confirmation for
Service Vendors), and the SF319 (TSP
Service Reconciliation for Service
Vendors). The SF314 is for users to
request that their existing TSP codes be
revalidated for three more years. The
SF315 is used to request restoration
and/or provisioning for an
organization’s critical circuits. The
SF317 is for organizations to appeal the
denial of TSP restoration and/or
provisioning. The SF318 is for service
vendors to provide circuit ID
information associated with TSP codes
they’ve been given by their customers.
The SF319 is for service vendors to
provide data to the program office in
order to reconcile their TSP data with
the TSP database. Participants request
TSP priorities via email in order to
reduce the use of the paper forms. The
paper forms will also be available for
download via the TSP home page.
There have been no changes to the
information being collected. The burden
for the SF315 Form has increased due
to better estimates, and the annual cost
burden to respondents and annual
government cost has increased due to
increased wage rates and compensation
factors.
This is a renewal of an information
collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
