Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices 75301 

safety regulations for ‘‘covered small 

passenger vessels,’’ defined as small 

passenger vessels with overnight 

accommodations for passengers or 

operating on an oceans or coastwise 

route, excluding fishing vessels and 

ferries. Topics in the new policy include 

means of escape, special consideration 

by the Officer in Charge, Marine 

Inspection, and excursion permits. 

In particular, the interim rule 

eliminated the option for ‘‘existing 

vessels’’ (as defined in 46 CFR 

subchapters K and T) to comply with 

the means of escape requirements 

applicable to them on March 10, 1996, 

bringing all covered small passenger 

vessels, regardless of age, up to current 

standards for means of escape design 

and arrangement. CG–CVC developed 

Policy Letter 23–03 in response to 

numerous inquiries requesting 

clarification on the correct application 

of the interim rule to the wide variety 

of small passenger vessel arrangements. 

A copy of CG–CVC Policy Letter 23– 

03 issued on October 26, 2023 is 

available in the docket where indicated 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document and on CG–CVC’s website, at

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 46 U.S.C. 3306(n).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Telecommunications Service Priority 

(TSP) is authorized by E.O. 12472, E.O. 

13618 and 47 CFR part 64. The 

Emergency Communications Division 

(ECD) of the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), 

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 CISA 

website. 

There have been no changes to the 

information being collected. The annual 

government cost has increased due to 

increased wage rates/compensation 

factors and IT system security 

requirements. 

This is a reinstatement of an approved 

information collection that was
