The TIC reports were written by working groups of the ANSS Technical Integration Committee. They describe a fully funded ANSS and it is understood that current resources do not exist to meet many of the standards. It is however, a goal to strive for.

From the authors:
This document is a draft revision of Chapters 3 and 4 of USGS
Open-File Report 02-92 entitled Technical Guidelines for the
Implementation of the Advanced National Seismic System--Version 1.0.
The revisions so far have concentrated on better stating the data
needs of ANSS as they relate to types of monitoring stations
(discussed in Section 3.2) and updating the quantitative
characteristics of station elements including sensors, data
acquisition units, power supplies, and packaging (discussed in
Section 3.4 Functional Specifications) as necessary to satisfy the
data needs. The full original text is available at
