interference complaint.
This information will be used to
monitor the co- and adjacent channel
interference potential of proposed

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for–
profit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 80 Participating CMS
Providers; 451,600 Responses.
Estimated Time per Response:
0.000694 hours (2.5 seconds) to generate
each alert log; 2 hours to respond to
each request for alert log data or
information about geo-targeting
Frequency of Response: Monthly and
on occasion reporting requirements and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,
154(i) and (o), 301, 301(r), 303(v), 307,
309, 335, 403, 544(g), 606 and 615 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, as well as by sections 602(a),
(b), (c), (f), 603, 604 and 606 of the
WARN Act.
Total Annual Burden: 125,390 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Participating CMS Providers shall make
available upon request to the
Commission and FEMA, and to
emergency management agencies that
offer confidentiality protection at least
equal to that provided in the federal
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
their alert logs and information about
their approach to geo-targeting insofar
as the information pertains to alerts
initiated by that emergency management
agency.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted revisions to Wireless
Emergency Alert (WEA) rules to take
advantage of the significant
technological changes and
improvements experienced by the
mobile wireless industry since the
passage of the Warning, Alert and
Response Network (WARN) Act, and
deployment of Wireless Emergency
Alerts (WEA) to improve utility of WEA
as a life-saving tool. This action will
improve alert content, delivery and
testing. With respect to information
collection, in particular, the
Commission adopted requirements for
Participating CMS Providers to log the
basic attributes of alerts they receive at
their Alert Gateway, to maintain those
logs for at least 12 months, and to make
those logs available upon request to the
Commission and FEMA, and to
emergency management agencies that
offer confidentiality protection at least
equal to that provided by federal FOIA.
The Commission also required
Participating CMS Providers to disclose
PO 00000
Frm 00038

Sfmt 4703
4875
information regarding their capabilities
for geo-targeting Alert Messages upon
request to such emergency management
agencies insofar as it would pertain to
Alert Messages initiated by that
emergency management agency.
These recordkeeping and reporting
requirements have potential to increase
emergency managers’ confidence that
WEA will work as intended when
needed. This increased confidence in
system availability will encourage
emergency managers that do not
currently use WEA to become
authorized. These reporting and
recordkeeping requirements also help to
ensure a fundamental component of
system integrity. Alert logs are
necessary to establish a baseline for
system integrity against which future
iterations of WEA can be evaluated.
Without records that can be used to
describe the quality of system integrity,
and the most common causes of
message transmission failure, it will be
difficult to evaluate how any changes to
WEA that we may adopt subsequent to
this Report and Order affect system
integrity.
