As technical innovations in electronics have increased, piecemeal approaches to improving Electromagnetic Compatability (EMC) have resulted in overly complex and often ineffective designs. This paper addresses the current institutionalized approach to the reduction of management, planning and control deficiencies in the area of EMC. The paper begins with a discussion of the problems caused by EMI followed by a discussion of the traditional approach to reducing EMI. Then NAVSEA 61×4's role as the Electromagnetic Environmental Effects point of contact and as Electromagnetic Programs Coordination office is identified in the context of EMI Control. The EMI/EMC Management benchmarks are also reviewed along with their appropriate management controls which ensure that all EMC planning for design, acquisition, modernization and conversion efforts are coordinated by the cognizant activities and program managers.

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Few disabilities have received as much emphasis during the past few years as cerebral palsy. And yet with this emphasis there has not come the understanding and social acceptance that might be expected. Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that cerebral palsy differs from other disabling conditions because it may include all the functions of the brain. It may not only represent a motor handicap but may include sensory and mental deviations as well. So in one individual may be found the following major handicaps: visual, auditory, and sensory defects; epilepsy; speech defect; mental retardation; self-help inability; inability to walk or to move about in any way; orthopedic deformities; as well as general medical and pediatric defects. These disabilities may run the gamut from mild to severe.
