§ 11.18 EAS Designations.
(a) National Primary (NP) is a source of EAS Presidential messages.
(b) Local Primary (LP) is a source of EAS Local Area messages. An LP
source is responsible for coordinating the carriage of common emergency
messages from sources such as the National Weather Service or local
emergency management offices as specified in its EAS Local Area Plan.
If it is unable to carry out this function, other LP sources in the
Local Area may be assigned the responsibility as indicated in State and
Local Area Plans. LP sources are assigned numbers (LP-1, 2, 3, etc.) in
the sequence they are to be monitored by other broadcast stations in
the Local Area.
(c) State Primary (SP) is a source of EAS State messages. These
messages can originate from the Governor or a designated representative
in the State Emergency Operating Center (EOC) or State Capital.
Messages are sent via the State Relay Network.
(d) State Relay (SR) is a source of EAS State messages. It is part of
the State Relay Network and relays National and State common emergency
messages into Local Areas.
(e) Participating National (PN) sources transmit EAS National, State or
Local Area messages. The EAS transmissions of PN sources are intended
for direct public reception.
(f) Non-participating National (NN) sources have elected not to
participate in the National level EAS and hold an authorization letter
to that effect. Upon activation of the national level EAS, NN sources
are required to broadcast the EAS codes, Attention Signal, the sign-off
announcement in the EAS Operating Handbook and then stop operating. All
NN sources are required to comply with § 11.51, 11.52 and 11.61. They
may transmit EAS State or Local Area messages at any time without prior
notice.
