the services so determined. Private line services which are in operation on the date hereof should be certified by customers within 120 days. Services placed in operation subsequent to the issuance of this system should be certified within 120 days of the initial service date. 8. Each customer, in requesting priority of resumption under this system, will assume an obligation thereafter to make periodic appraisals of the criticality of the private line service involved and also to make appraisals at the time of any change in the nature or use of the service, and to notify the common carrier promptly of any appropriate reclassifications. The effectiveness of this system will depend upon the whole-hearted cooperation on the part of the customers authorized to employ it. Customers should therefore familiarize themselves with the purposes to be served by the system and the importance of services which may be assigned the respective priorities. It must always be remembered that the system will operate successfully only if its use is limited strictly to the intended purpose. Before submitting each certification, each customer should consider carefully whether the service involved requires any priority of resumption and exercise care not to certify a higher priority than the circumstances require. 9. Common carriers will accord resumption priorities to private line services of agencies of Federal, state or municipal governments only upon receipt of written certification by the head of such an agency or his designee. Similarly, common carriers will accord resumption priorities to private companies or organizations only upon receipt of written certification by a principal officer of the company or organization. 10. In the application of the foregoing principles the fact is recognized that it may be necessary to supplement the foregoing with overriding decisions made at the national level. These decisions would take into account the advance certifications for priority of resumption outlined herein. [F.R.
