Sec. 202.0 Objectives.
(a) During, or in anticipation of, a non-wartime emergency or natural
disaster, a telecommunications capacity must exist to provide temporary
telecommunications service to State and local government officials and other
persons deemed appropriate by the President.
(b) In the event of a general war and attack upon the Nation, a national
telecommunications capability must exist that will support
telecommunications requirements with respect to national security, survival
and recovery. The development of survivable telecommunications to support
essential functions (including an emergency broadcasting system), and
technical compatibility of signaling methods, transmission modes, switching
facilities, and terminal devices to permit exchange of communications over
the surviving media of all systems, government or commercial, are crucial
elements of such a national capability. In addition, a survivable national
telecommunications management structure is necessary to manage initiation,
coordination and restoration of telecommunications services. The management
structure must include the following:
(1) Legal authority for telecommunications management.
(2) A control mechanism to manage the initiation, coordination and
restoration of telecommunications services.
(3) Procedures to ensure timely damage assessment and allocation of residual
resources and controlled restoration of services based on national
policy/direction.
(4) The capability to execute a telecommunications recovery plan based on
national policy/guidance.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision regarding NS/EP Planning and Execution,
nothing in this part shall be deemed to affect the authorities or
responsibilities of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, or
any Office or official thereof; or reassign any function assigned any agency
under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as
amended, or under any other law, or any function vested by law in the
Federal Communications Commission.
