(a) The voice and message precedence procedures for departments and agen-cies of the Federal Government pre-scribed by this part are prescribed pur-suant to Executive Order No. 12046 (43 FR 13349 et seq.) an

9、d the Presidents memorandum of August 21, 1963, which established the National Communica-tions System (28 FR 9413; 3 CFR, 1959 1963 Comp., p. 858). (b) The procedures applicable to com-munications common carriers and non- Federal Government users prescribed by this part are prescribed by author-ity

10、conferred upon the President by subsection 606(a) of the Communica-tions Act of 1934, as amended, and dele-gated to the National Security Council by Executive Order 12046. That author-ity under section 606(a) may be exer-cised only during the continuance of a war in which the United States is en-gag

11、ed. 213.1 Background and purpose. (a) The National Security Council and the Federal Communications Com-mission have agreed upon a precedence system for the expeditious handling of messages and calls transmitted over Government and public correspondence facilities in all types of situations from peac

12、etime to massive nuclear attack. Effectuation of that system requires that the Director issue a circular and that the Commission concurrently issue an order prescribing the stand-ards, procedures, policies, and regula-tions that together, constitute this sin-gle integrated precedence system. (b) In

13、conformity with that agree-ment the National Security Council is issuing this circular the purpose of VerDate Mar2010 11:43 Jan 07, 2011 Jkt 220204 PO 00000 Frm 00761 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 E:TEMP220204.XXX 220204rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with CFRProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networki

14、ng permitted without license from IHS-,-,-752 47 CFR Ch. II (10110 Edition) 213.2 which is to prescribe, on behalf of the President, that part of those standards, procedures, policies, and regulations which are within the cognizance of the NSC. No significance should be at-tached to the fact that sl

15、ightly dif-ferent terms are used in their circular from those used in the companion order of the FCC. Those differences re-sult from differences in terms in the basic legal authorities of the director and the Commission rather than from an intent to denote a distinction in purpose or effect. 213.2 S

16、cope. The precedence system contained herein is applicable to: (a) Users of Government service fa-cilities, whether owned or leased. (b) Users of public correspondence service facilities of the communication common carriers, to U.S. domestic and international communication common carriers, and to th

17、e extent possible by agreement between the latter and their foreign correspondents. 213.3 Cancellation. This circular cancels: (a) Attachments A and B to Annex 3 of DMO 3000.1, dated November 8, 1963 (28 FR 12273). (b) That portion of the memorandum of the Special Assistant to the Presi-dent for Tel

18、ecommunications, dated August 27, 1964, pertaining to message precedences. 213.4 Definitions. As used herein: (a) Public correspondence services means those services offered to the general public for communications be-tween all points served by a carrier or by interconnected carriers on a non-exclus

19、ive message by message or call by call basis, as differentiated from leased private line services. (b) The term precedence means the order in which messages and calls are processed. Transmission of information and call completion is therefore to be accomplished in the order required by the precedenc

20、e designator. Any such properly categorized communications precede noncategorized communica-tions. (c) The term Government where used alone means Federal, foreign, State, county, or municipal government agen-cies. Specific reference will be made whenever it is intended to apply to less than the whol

21、e, e.g., State Government, Federal Government, etc. (d) The term Foreign Government in-cludes those foreign diplomatic and consular establishments and those coa-litions or associations of governments such as NATO, SEATO, OAS, UN, and associations of governments or govern-mental agencies such as Pan

22、American Union, International Postal Union, International Monetary Fund, and similar organizations. (e) The term message means a written or other form of record communication prepared for transmission and delivery at the destination. (f) The term call means a request from a user for a connection to

23、another station whether for telephone or record communication. 213.5 Precedence designators. (a) The following precedence designa-tors are available for Government and public correspondence users: Federal Government Domestic public correspondence and international telephone calls Flash . Flash emerg

24、ency. Immediate . Immediate emergency. Priority Priority emergency. Routine . (No domestic equivalent.) (b) Government and non-Government users of public correspondence services will handle their international mes-sages in accordance with current ITU Telegraph Regulations. Government users should no

25、te that, generally, the only precedence designator available for their use for international messages sent over public correspondence cir-cuits if Etat Priorite. The ITU Regula-tions do not contain precedence des-ignators which equate to Flash, Imme-diate, or Priority. Accordingly, Gov-ernment messa

26、ges whether Flash, Im-mediate, or Priority precedence when sent over international public cor-respondence circuits will be handled as Etat Priorite messages. Thus, Priority messages will receive the same treat-ment in transmission and processing as VerDate Mar2010 11:43 Jan 07, 2011 Jkt 220204 PO 00

Policy and Natl. Security Council 213.6 Immediate or Flash messages. Con-versely,

28、 Etat Priorite messages re-ceived in the United States shall be transmitted and processed in the order of receipt, to the extent possible. The precedence designator available for non-Government users of public cor-respondence services is Urgent. The Ur-gent designator is limited for use only during

29、wartime conditions, as declared pursuant to section 606 of the Commu-nications Act of 1934. (c) Domestic and International U.S. common carriers, insofar as prac-ticable by agreement with their foreign correspondents, shall endeavor to ar-range the proper level of precedence handling of international

30、 messages and calls originating, terminating in, or transiting the United States: Provided, however, That insofar as international messages are concerned the level of precedence shall be consistent with the International Telecommunication Con-ventions and regulations thereunder. (d) The Government d

31、esignators shall be used throughout the Federal Gov-ernment. All messages and telephone calls sent via public correspondence services shall use domestic or inter-national public correspondence des-ignators as appropriate. Thus, the re-sponsibility is on Government and pub-lic correspondence users to

32、 recognize and use the appropriate designators when using public correspondence serv-ices. (e) On international telephone calls the carriers operator will convert to the appropriate international desig-nator. 213.6 Criteria. (a) Flash, Flash Emergency.

33、 shall be strictly limited to Federal and Foreign Government agencies.

When necessary to obtain a

Any message of a lesser precedence in the process of trans-mission will be halted, if feasible, to clear the channel for the Flash or Flash Emergency transmission. Flash or Flas

39、essages pertaining to: (1) Situations which gravely affect the security of national and allied forces. (2) Reconstitution of forces in a post-attack period. (3) Intelligence essential to national security. (4) Conduct of diplomatic negotia-tions to reduce or limit the threat of war. (5) Implementati

(17) Prompt delivery of information by press representatives to news media organizations and newspapers covering news of national or widespread disas-ters. (d) Routine

49、; no domestic equivalent.

(a) Calls and messages in each prece-dence classification above shall have no precedence over others within the same classification, except where, within the same classification, they cannot be handled simultaneously.
