SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of having a TSP System is to

treatment to particular telecommunications services that have been
identified as the most important services supporting national security
or emergency preparedness. The information being gathered by the TSP
system is the minimum necessary for the NCS to manage the TSP system,
and without it, the NCS could not accomplish this task.
