Standard Form 315 (SF 315): TSP Request for Service Users

Standard Form 315 (SF 315), printed under the heading Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System as the TSP Request for Service Users, asks for action on a service's TSP priority. Item 1 offers three codes: A to assign initial priority for a service, C to change a service, its priority or information about it, and D to delete or revoke a service's priority.

The form is sent to DHS, NPPD/CS&C/OEC (Attn: TSP Program Office), and its Privacy Act notice says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will use the information. It carries OMB Control Number 1670-0005 with an expiration date of 6/30/2019, refers to NCS Manual 3-1-1 for instructions, and its footer reads STANDARD FORM 315 (REV. 8/2014). GSA hosts a copy in its forms library. The service user can be a government, the private sector, the U.S. military or other, and the form says non-Federal users send it to their Federal Government sponsor.
