§ 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.
