Subpart AGeneral 11.1 Purpose. This part contains rules and regula-tions providing for an Emergency Alert System (EAS). The EAS

7、provides the President with the capability to pro-vide immediate communications and information to the general public at the National, State and Local Area lev-els during periods of national emer-gency. The rules in this part describe the required technical standards and operational procedures of th

8、e EAS for analog AM, FM, and TV broadcast sta-tions, digital broadcast stations, ana-log cable systems, digital cable sys-tems, wireline video systems, wireless cable systems, Direct Broadcast Sat-ellite (DBS) services, Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS), and other participating entities.

9、 The EAS may be used to provide the heads of State and local government, or their designated representatives, with a means of emergency communication with the public in their State or Local Area. 72 FR 62132, Nov. 2, 2007 11.2 Definitions. The definitions of terms used in part 11 are: (a) Primary En

10、try Point (PEP) System. The PEP system is a nationwide net-work of broadcast stations and other entities connected with government activation points. It is used to dis-tribute the EAN, EAT, and EAS na-tional test messages and other EAS messages. FEMA has designated 34 of the nations largest radio br

11、oadcast stations as PEPs. The PEPs are des-ignated to receive the Presidential alert from FEMA and distribute it to local stations. (b) Local Primary One (LP1). The LP 1 is a radio station that acts as a key EAS monitoring source. Each LP1 sta-tion must monitor its regional PEP station and a back-up

12、 source for Presi-dential messages.
