1.1 Introduction. This standard has been prepared to facilitate
the interchange of data between Federal departments and agencies with
respect to telecommunication circuit files. There are numerous data
bases within the Federal Government containing telecommunication circuit
files. The largest such data base is that maintained by the National
Communications System. This data base contains information on government-
leased and owned circuits for use by the Manager, NCS, in his assigned
role as communications resource manager in accordance with Federal
Emergency Plan D. Information needs to be exchanged between agencies in
support of this requirement. Agencies may also exchange telecommunication
circuit file information on a continual basis for other purposes.
1.2 Scope. Section 2 describes the processes followed in prepara-
tion of an individual record in the circuit file. Related information
is contained in the appropriate appendices.
1.3 Purpose. The purpose of this FIPS PUB is to provide a standard
for the format and data elements and their associated codes to be utilized
in exchange of telecommunication circuit file information between
Federal departments and agencies.
2. Circuit File
2.1 Introduction. A circuit file (CF) describes each circuit
therein from user terminal to user terminal. A circuit is comprised of
one of more segments. For each circuit there is a minimum of one 80-
character record. However, additional 80-character records may be
required if it is required to identify intermediate terminals or service
points of the same circuit. Each segment is further described by 21
data elements, and these elements are identified and defined in this
standard. These fields are described in detail in this publication.
Only those data elements which are applicable to the agency's exchanging
CF information need to be utilized. The remaining fields, if any, may
be left blank. For purposes of illustration an 80 column card format
will be utilized to represent the 80-CF. It is the user's
prerogative as to whether the circuit file information will be maintained
on cards, magnetic tape, or other media.
2.2 Format. The prescribed format for a record contained in the
circuit file is shown in Figure 1. There are fields containing data
elements which comprise a CF record. Character positions 18, 20-24, 27-
28, 56, and 58-61, are not used at the present time.
2.3 Field. A field identifier (a letter) is used for reference
purposes only in Figure 1, and is assigned to each data element. Each
data element and its associated codes are separately 'identified, defined,
and listed in this standard.

3. Data Element Definition: This element defines the contraction for
geographic location of the terminal at which the circuit segment
being described either originates or passes through.
4. Data Element Sources: The method of the development of the items
under this data element is the same as utilized by the Inter
departmental Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC).

6. Description of Representation:
6.1 This element identifies the contraction for the geographic location
of the "FROM" terminal or enroute facility of the segment of the
circuit being described. The method of contracting location names
in Field A of the CF is the same as utilized by the Interdepartment
Radio Advisory Committee in recording the geographic locations of
transmitting and receiving stations. A current list of contractions
we currently use can be found in the NCS GELOCO listing (cross index
reference c). Contractions, which are not available can be determined
in accordance with the rules listed below, which are taken from
the Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Radio Frequency Management
published by the Office of Telecommunications Policy, Executive
Office of the President (cross index reference d).
This method is based on the following premises:
a. That the result will be a standard designation for the
purposes of machine processing and need not be instantly recognizable.
b. That common designation can be established..
c. That rules for contracti:op app'ly' to,, al.1 10
of length:
Rule One. All rules will be followed in strict numerical
Al
order.

Rule Two. An Anglicized version of place names is used when there
is a common Anglicized version. Examples:
WIEN use VIENNA
KOLM use COLOGNE
Rule Three. Accent marks, umlauts, and punctuation marks which are
part of a name are not used. Examples:
DUSSELDORF becomes DUSSELDORF

Rule Four. No spaces are used in two or more word place names when
the use of the space would exceed the eight space limit, subject to
Rule Five below:

LE CHENOY use LECHENOY
Rule Five. In place names of two or more words, the following
standard abbreviations are to be used when the word is used as a
separate word, with another word, or in combination with each
other. These abbreviations are always used regardless of the
length of an abbreviated name. Use no other abbreviations. Numerals
or letters required to complete certain place names, e.g., NAVAL

will contain the Service Availability code which defines the
period of time or, when the circuit being described is available
for use. Acircuit may have more than one type of service availability.
For each type of Service Availability there must be continuity between
circuit segment terminals from the first through the last segment
except when the circuit has "oncall" segments. The following codes
are used to indicate when or how a service is made available for the
designated user.
A Full period (pertains to time available).
B Time Shared (may be used alternately by all terminals, or on a
time shared basis).
D Military Satellite-available as scheduled by the Hq, DCA
Satellite Communications Control Facility.
F. Between 12 and 18 hours (more than 18 hours will be reported
as full period)
G. On-call (activated on request of user). These are circuit
or segments of circuits which are called up through the
Government tech control or activated directly by the user
through a control lead.

circuit via different transmission paths on at least

the user but is used only when activated.
J Second allocated! path - A second allocated path is used
to provide simultaneous service for the corresponding
full period path. This is a separate distinct complete
path between serving Tech Controls/Users, carrying the
same traffic as the "A" route but with no common segments
between serving Tech Controls.
K Frequency shared (may be either full or part time).
M Engineered Military Circuit - A commercially leased
circuit which is engineered to provide Government com-
munications but is used commercially until such time as
the Government calls the circuit up. The reaction time
for callup will exceed that of on-call circuitry because
the commercial control must be notified and they in turn
bring down the commercial traffic and revert the circuit
to Government use.

IDENTIFIER
Abbreviation CCCI
3. Data Element Definition: The commercial communications circuit
identifier is a unique identifier assigned to leased services by the
communication common carriers from which the service is leased
and identifies the circuit segment being described. This element
is comprised of five subelements.
4. Data Element Sources: Commercial carriers
5. Data Elements and Codes:
a. Data Element Representation: Code
b. Type of Representation: Alphanumeric
c. Length of Representation: 16 character positions
d. Symbols allowed: 26 letters of the alphabet (upper case) and
numerals 0-9.
6. Description of Representation: To aid in the identification of
circuits which utilize leased facilities, CF segment records describing
the facility or terminal will contain the commercial circuit identifier
or designation of these facilities. Inasmuch as a standard format
for the commercial circuit identifier does not exist within the
communication industry, procedures outlined in this appendix will
be utilized when entering this information in the CF.
This field is subdivided into five parts as follows: Commercial
Carrier Identification (character positions 62-65), Commercial
Number Prefix (character positions 66-67), Type of Service
(character positions 68-69), Commercial Circuit Number (character
positions 70-74) and Suffix Number (character positions 75-77).
Each subelement is described in detail in the following pages.
Note: In the event the circuit segment is provided from Government-
owned assets, enter the character "Z" in each of the four
character positions alloted for the Commercial Carrier Identification,
i.e., card columns 62-65, leaving card columns 66-77 blank.
