3.1.1 BLACK equipment area (BEA). An area in a limited exclusion area
designated for the installation of equipment processing unclassified
information or encrypted information.
3.1.9 Bulk filtering. The practice of using filters at the first service
disconnect or on each power panel, thus filtering power to many items of
equipment with one set of filters.
3.1.3 Cognizant TEMPEST agency. That agency within a department, service,

criteria, and guidance to safeguard defense information, with specific
emphasis on the implementation of the TEMPEST program.
3.1.4 Collateral. All national security information classified under the

exclusion areas, controlled BLACK equipment areas, or combinations thereof.
3.1.6 Controlled BLACK equipment area (CBEA). A BLACK equipment area which

3.1.10 Limited exclusion area (LEA). A room or enclosed area where security
controls have been applied to provide protection to the equipment and wire
lines of a RED information processing system equivalent to the security
required for the information transmitted through the system. An LEA must
contain a RED equipment area.
3.1.11 Protected distribution system (PDS). An approved transmission
adequate acoustical, electrical, electromagnetic, and physical safeguards
