== Citation == The White House, '''Executive Order 12472''': Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Telecommunications Functions, 49 Fed. Reg. 13471 (Apr. 3, 1984), ''amended by'' [[Executive Order 13286]] of (Feb. 28, 2003) ''and changes made by'' [[Executive Order 13407]] (June 26, 2006). == Overview == This [[Executive Order]] re-chartered the [[National Communications System]] ([[NCS]]) as those [[telecommunication]] assets owned or leased by the Federal government that can meet U.S. [[national security and emergency preparedness]] ([[NS/EP]]) needs. It assigned [[National Security and Emergency Preparedness]] [[telecommunications]] functions, including wartime and non-wartime emergency functions, to the [[National Security Council]], [[OSTP]], [[Homeland Security Council]], [[OMB]], and other federal agencies. This [[Executive Order]] sought to ensure that the Federal Government has [[telecommunications]] services that will function under all conditions, including emergency situations. It directed the [[NCS]] to assist the President, the [[National Security Council]], the [[Homeland Security Council]], the Director of [[OSTP]], and the Director of the [[OMB]] in: (1) exercising the [[telecommunications]] functions and responsibilities set forth in the Executive Order; and (2) coordinating the planning for and provision of [[NS/EP]] [[communications]] for the Federal Government under all circumstances, including a crisis or emergency, an [[attack]], [[recovery]], and [[reconstitution]]. This [[Executive Order]] established a joint government-industry [[National Coordinating Center]] to assist in the initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of [[communications services]] or facilities under all conditions of crisis or emergency. The [[Department of Homeland Security]] inherited the [[NCS]] in 2003. [[Category:Telecommunications]] [[Category:Security]] [[Category:Publication]]
