Sec. 11.15  EAS Operating Handbook.

    The EAS Operating Handbook states in summary form the actions to be 
taken by personnel at broadcast stations, and other participating 
entities upon receipt of an EAN, subject cable systems and other 
participating entities upon receipt of an EAN, an EAT, tests, or State 
and Local Area alerts. It is issued by the FCC and contains instructions 
for the above situations, monitoring guidelines, and EAS message 
examples. A copy of the Handbook must be located at normal duty 
positions or EAS equipment locations when an operator is required to be 
on duty and be immediately available to staff responsible for 
authenticating messages and initiating actions.
