Sec. 11.2 Definitions.
The definitions of terms used in part 11 are:
(a) Primary Entry Point (PEP) System. The PEP system is a nationwide network
of broadcast stations and other entities connected with government
activation points. It is used to distribute the EAN, EAT, and EAS national
test messages and other EAS messages. FEMA has designated 34 of the nation's
largest radio broadcast stations as PEPs. The PEPs are designated to receive
the Presidential alert from FEMA and distribute it to local stations.
(b) Local Primary One (LP–1). The LP–1 is a radio station that acts as a key
EAS monitoring source. Each LP–1 station must monitor its regional PEP
station and a back-up source for Presidential messages.
(c) EAS Participants. Entities required under the Commission's rules to
comply with EAS rules, e.g. , analog radio and television stations, and
wired and wireless cable television systems, DBS, DTV, SDARS, digital cable
and DAB, and wireline video systems.
(d) Wireline Video System. The system of a wireline common carrier used to
provide video programming service.
(e) Participating National (PN). PN stations are broadcast stations that
transmit EAS National, state, or local EAS messages to the public.
(f) National Primary (NP). Stations that are the primary entry point for
Presidential messages delivered by FEMA. These stations are responsible for
broadcasting a Presidential alert to the public and to State Primary
stations within their broadcast range.
(g) State Primary (SP). Stations that are the entry point for State
messages, which can originate from the Governor or a designated
representative.
