Does not require a physical copy of the state EAS plan at every operator's 
duty station.  EAS Participants can write their own SOPs based on the 
state guidelines.

Does require a physical copy of the useless EAS Handbook at every 
operator's duty station. Not allowed to modify the text of the EAS 
Handbook beyond filling in the blanks, even when inappropriate for a 
particular facility.
