6、ocedures under which government and private entities will be furnished restoration priorities to insure that leased intercity private line tele-communications services vital to the national interest will be maintained during the continuance of a war in which the United States engaged. It su-persedes

7、 the Director of Telecommuni-cations Management Order of January 15, 1967 (32 FR 791, 47 CFR part 201), which is hereby canceled. To assure the effective ability to implement its pro-visions, and also in order that govern-ment and industry resources may be used effectively under all conditions rangi

8、ng from national emergencies to international crises, including nuclear attack, a single set of rules and proce-dures is essential, and they must be ap-plied on a day-to-day basis so that the priorities they establish can be imple-mented at once when the occasion arises. As provided for in part 18 o

(a) The priority system and proce-dures established by this part are ap-plicable to: (1) U.S. domestic leased intercity pri-vate line services, includ

22、ing private line switched network services; (2) U.S. international leased private line services to the point of foreign entry; (3) Foreign extensions of U.S. inter-national leased private line services to the extent possible through agreement between U.S. carriers and foreign cor-respondents; (4) In

(b) The priority system and proce-dures established by this part are not applicable to operational circuits or order wires of the carriers needed for circuit rea

24、ctivation and maintenance purposes, which shall have priority of restoration over all other circuits and shall be exempt from interruption for the purpose of restoring priority serv-ices. 211.4 Policy. During the continuance of a war in which the United States is engaged and when the provisions of t

25、his part are in-voked, all communications common carriers shall comply with the fol-lowing principles insofar as possible: (a) Whenever necessary to maintain or restore a service having a designated priority, services having lower pri-ority, lower subpriority, or no priority, will be interrupted in

26、the reverse order of priority starting with nonpriority services. (b) When services are interrupted to restore priority services, carriers will endeavor if feasible to notify users of the reason for the preemption. (c) When public correspondence cir-cuits are needed to satisfy require-ments for prio

27、rity services, idle cir-cuits will be selected first. A minimum number of public correspondence cir-cuits shall at all times be kept avail-able so as to provide for the trans-mission of precedence-type messages and calls.

II (10110 Edition) 211.5 (d) Communications common carriers will not interrupt conversations having priority classification

29、 except insofar as necessary to restore services of higher priority. (e) It is recognized that as a practical matter in providing for the mainte-nance or restoration of a priority serv-ice or services operating within a mul-tiple circuit-type facility (such as a carrier band, cable, or multiplex sys

30、-tem), lower priority, lower subpriority, or nonpriority services on paralleled channels within a band or system may be restored concurrently with higher priority services. Such reactivation shall not, however, interfere with the expedited restoration of other priority services. (f) The Executive Ag

31、ent is authorized to instruct the carriers on the percent-age of government-switched network intermachine trunks to be restored to provide capacity for priority access line traffic. (g) The carriers are authorized to honor NCS-certified priorities from other authorized carriers for leased fa-cilitie

32、s. (h) The carriers are authorized to honor restoration priorities certified by the Executive Agent. (i) To ensure the effectiveness of the system of restoration priorities estab-lished by this part it is essential that rigorous standards be applied. Users are requested and directed to examine their

33、 private line service requirements in light of the criteria specified in this part and with regard to the availability of alternate communications facilities such as public correspondence message services, and Government-owned emer-gency communications systems. 211.5 Priorities. There are hereby est

34、ablished four levels of restoration priority. Within each level, subpriorities may be estab-lished by the Executive Agent, with the concurrence of the National Secu-rity Council, for both government and nongovernment services. The subprior-ities categories currently in use, which have been establish

35、ed by the Executive Agent will remain in effect until modi-fied. Compatibility of subcategories ap-plicable to government and nongovern-ment users is essential to achieve the objective of a single restoration pri-ority system. (a) Priority 1. Priority 1 shall be the highest level of restoration prio

36、rity, and shall be afforded only to Federal and Foreign Government private line services, and to Industrial/Commercial services which are designated for pre-arranged voluntary participation with the Federal Government in a national emergency. Circuit requirements in this level of priority shall be l

37、imited to those esential to national survival if nuclear attack occurs for: (1) Obtaining or disseminating crit-ical intelligence concerning the attack, or immediately necessary to maintain the internal security of the United States; (2) Conducting diplomatic negotia-tions critical to the arresting

38、or lim-iting of hostilities; (3) Executing military command and control functions essential to defense and retaliation; (4) Giving warning to the U.S. popu-lation; (5) Maintaining federal Government functions essential to national survival under nuclear attack conditions. (b) Priority 2. Priority 2

39、shall be the second highest level of restoration pri-ority, and shall be afforded only to Federal and Foreign Government pri-vate line services, and to Industrial/ Commercial services which are des-ignated for prearranged voluntary par-ticipation with the Federal Govern-ment in a national emergency.

40、 Circuit requirements in this level shall be lim-ited to those essential, at a time when nuclear attack threatens, to maintain an optimum defense posture and to give civil alert to the U.S. population. These are circuit requirements whose unavailability would present serious dangers: (1) Reducing si

41、gnificantly the pre-paredness of U.S. defense and retalitory forces; (2) Affecting adversely the ability of the United States to conduct critical preattack diplomatic negotiations to reduce or limit the threat of war; (3) Interfering with the effectual di-rection of the U.S. population in the intere

42、st of civil defense and survival; VerDate Mar2010 11:43 Jan 07, 2011 Jkt 220204 PO 00000 Frm 00758 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 E:TEMP220204.XXX 220204rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with CFRProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-749 Off. of Science and Te

43、ch. Policy and Natl. Security Council 211.6 (4) Weakening U.S. capability to ac-complish critical national internal se-curity functions; (5) Inhibiting the provision of essen-tial Federal Government functions nec-essary to meet a preattack situation. (c) Priority 3. Priority 3 shall be the third hig

44、hest level of restoration pri-ority and shall be afforded to govern-ment, quais-government, and Indus-trial/Commercial private line services: Provided, however, That Priority 3 will be afforded circuits serving Industrial/ Commercial, State, county, municipal, and quasi-state and local government ag

45、encies only where, during an emer-gency, at least one station in the cir-cuit (or in connected circuits if switched service is involved) will be manned continually, or where such cir-cuits are automated and will be under constant surveillance from a remote location. Circuit requirements in this leve

46、l shall be limited to those nec-essary for U.S. military defense and di-plomacy, for law and order, and for na-tional health and safety in a national emergency involving heightened possi-bility of hostilities. These are curcuit requirements needed to: (1) Insure performance of critical lo-gistic fun

47、ctions, public utility services, and administrative-military support functions; (2) Inform key diplomatic posts of the situation and of U.S. intentions; (3) Secure and disseminate urgent in-telligence; (4) Distribute essential food and other supplies critical to health; (5) Provide for critical dama

48、ge con-trol functions; (6) Provide for hospitalization; (7) Continue critical Government functions; (8) Provide transportation for the foregoing activities. (d) Priority 4. Priority shall be the fourth highest restoration priority and shall be afforded to government, quasi- government, and Industria

49、l/Commer-cial private line services: Provided, however, That Priority 4 will be af-forded circuits serving Industrial/Com-mercial, State, county, municipal, and quasi-state and local government agen-cies only where, during an emergency, at least one station in the circuit (or in connected circuits if switched service is involved) will be manned contin-ually, or where such circuits are auto-mated and will be under constant sur-veillance from a remote location.
