System (EAS). The EAS provides the
President with the capability to provide
immediate communications and
information to the general public at the
national, state and local area level
during periods of national emergency.
The EAS also provides state and local
governments and the National Weather
Service with the capability to provide
immediate communications and
information to the general public
concerning emergency situations
posting a threat to life and property.
For this new collection, the
Commission is requesting emergency
OMB review and processing for the
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements in the Fifth Report and
Order, FCC 12–7. The Commission
amended its Part 11 rules governing the
EAS to more fully codify the existing
obligation to process Common Alerting
Protocol (CAP)-formatted alert messages
adopted in the Second Report and
Order.
Certification procedures for meeting
general certification requirements are
under 47 CFR 11.34. Paragraphs 164–
167, 107–171, and 175–176 in the Fifth
Report and Order, establish that
integrated CAP-capable EAS devices
and intermediate devices that are used
in tandem with legacy EAS equipment
are subject to the Commission’s existing
device certification requirements set
forth in the Commission’s Part 2
equipment authorization rules. These
paragraphs also establish specific
procedures by which EAS device
manufacturers can update existing
device certifications and obtain new
certifications, which generally involve
the submission of test data and other
materials to the FCC.
The information collected by the
Commission is used to confirm that EAS
devices comply with the technical and
performance requirements set forth in
the EAS rules and other applicable rules
maintained by the Commission. These
rules are designed to minimize electrical
radiofrequency interference and to
ensure that the EAS, including
individual devices within the EAS,
operate at intended.

rules. Information within Wireless
Radio Services is maintained in the

conducts audits of the construction and/
or operational status of various Wireless
radio stations in its licensing database
that are subject to rule-based
construction and operational
requirements. The Commission’s rules
for these Wireless services require
construction within a specified
timeframe and require a station to
remain operational in order for the
license to remain valid.
The information will be used by FCC
personnel to assure that licensees’
stations are constructed and currently
operating in accordance with the
parameters of the current FCC
authorization and rules.
