§ 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.

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.
