Title: Electromagnetic Pulse Protection Inspection and Maintenance

Procedures.

Abstract: FEMA manages an Electromagnetic Protection Pulse program

which provides for the protection of communications facilities against

electromagnetic pulse resulting from high altitude nuclear detonation

or from environmental disturbances such as lightning and power line

transients. Inspections of electrical and electronic devices and other

material are performed at periodic intervals as established in the

facility's EMP Inspection and Maintenance Plan. Formal inspections are

mandatory and are performed on an annual basis, informal inspections

occur in conjunction with a significant event, such as recurring

systems upsets, electrical storms, etc., and occasional inspections are

performed periodically to locate degradation or other problems that

occur between other types of inspections. The checklist is used to

document and report on these inspection activities. If the checklist

shows that EMP protection devices and materials are defective or

inoperative and need to be removed, the Regional EMP Program Managers

will use the information to replace those devices and materials.

Type of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal

Government; and State, Local or Tribal Government.

Estimate of Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden: 2,472

hours.

Number of Respondents: 375.

Estimated Average Burden Time per Response: 6.6 hours.

Frequency of Response: Annually, on occasion.

Dated: May 1, 1995.
