The purpose of this Environmental Checklist (EC) is to install a new antenna on the 100' tower and antenna infrastructure at the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC)/Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) Idaho High Frequency (HF) Shared Resources (SHARES) Station at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) that is located behind the Systems Analysis Facility (SAF; Idaho Falls [IF]-627). The SHARES HF Radio Program provides means for users with a national security and emergency preparedness mission to communicate when landline and cellular communications are unavailable. SHARES members use HF radio resources to coordinate and transmit messages needed to perform critical functions, including those areas related to leadership, safety, maintenance of law and order, finance, and public health.
