TSP Revalidation

Revalidation is a key quality control mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the TSP Program. Revalidation of TSP service information is intended to (1) ensure that only services supporting National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) missions participate in the TSP Program; and (2) ensure that information identifying TSP services and their associated TSP assignments is current. Service users must revalidate information for all their TSP services every three years with the TSP Program Office. (Note: The FCC requires that all users revalidate their requirement for TSP every three years, before the expiration of the TSP Authorization Code(s). If service user does not revalidate the code, the TSP Program Office can revoke the TSP Authorization Code for that service via the service vendor. This action may result in a service charge to the user. However, the TSP Program Office will not do this until it has made multiple attempts to notify the service user.) Service users can revalidate their codes online or by using the TSP Revalidation for Service Users Form (SF 314). This section presents information on the TSP revalidation process and instructions for completing this process.

The TSP Revalidation Process

The following are the steps for the TSP Revalidation Process:

1. The TSP Program Office sends a a notice requesting service users to revalidate their services supported by TSP. This notice goes to the point of contact (POC) previously identified on the TSP Request for Service User Form (SF 315)
2. The POC has 30 days to complete the revalidation and can submit the response online or by e-mail, mail, facsimile, or courier. (Note: If the service user no longer requires TSP, then he/she should revoke the TSP assignment(s) by completing an SF 315, submitting it to the TSP Program Office, and notifying the vendor via a service order).

The TSP Program Office will correct simple typographical errors on TSP revalidations when identified by the user. However, if there are any priority level or authorization code discrepancies, the service user must correct them by submitting a service order to the vendor.

The service user must respond to the revalidation notice. If the TSP Program Office does not receive a response within 30 days of the initial revalidation notice, the TSP Program Office sends the POC a reminder notice to revalidate the TSP services. If there is still no response after 10 business days, the TSP Program Office forwards a follow-up letter to the service user and the head of the user's organization. The letter states that if the service user does not revalidate the TSP services within 10 business days, the TSP Program Office will contact the user's service vendor to revoke their TSP assignments. The TSP Program Office will provide a copy of the notice to the service user and advise them that they may incur a charge from their service vendors for discontinuing their TSP treatment

Instructions for Completing the SF 314

If using the SF 314:

• Check the accuracy of all TSP assignment information before completing the form
• Provide a TSP Authorization Code, Service User Service ID, and Prime Service Vendor Name for each assignment that is being revalidated
• Provide all updated POC information for your organization, including e-mail address
• If submitting a paper copy, sign and date the form to confirm that the listed services are NS/EP services and should be revalidated for TSP.
