for the Public Safety Support System to
address the personally identifiable
information (PII) that will be collected,
used, and stored as part of the
information collection requirements.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: The WARN Act gives
the Commission authority to adopt
relevant technical standards, protocols,
procedures and other technical
requirements governing Wireless
Emergency Alerts (WEA). The
Commission adopted rules to
implement the WEA system (previously
known as the Commercial Mobile
Service Alert System) pursuant to the
WARN Act to satisfy the Commission’s
mandate to promote the safety of life
and property through the use of wire
and radio communication. The WEA
system transmits emergency alerts to
WEA-capable mobile devices, providing
consumers with timely warnings and
information in emergencies. In 2018, the
Commission issued a Report & Order
requiring that Participating Commercial
Mobile Service Providers (providers)
implement enhanced geo-targeting
functionality by November 30, 2019 to
allow WEA alert originators (e.g., local
emergency management offices) to target
a WEA alert to eligible devices in a
prescribed geographic area (e.g., an area
where there is imminent threat of the
loss of life or property). See Federal
Communications Commission, Wireless
Emergency Alerts; Emergency Alert
System, 83 FR 8619, 8623 (Feb. 28,
2018) (announcing a Nov. 30, 2019
amendment to 47 CFR 10.450).
The Commission now seeks to
evaluate WEA performance, particularly
with respect to the accuracy of
providers’ geo-targeting capabilities. To
do so, the Commission will use surveys
to collect information and evaluate
performance during a WEA test. Survey
respondents affiliated with two alert
originators, partnered with the
Commission in different geographic
areas of the country, will be asked to
complete a preliminary survey. This
survey will improve the utility of a ‘‘live
test’’ survey, which respondents will
subsequently receive via a hyperlink
embedded in a WEA test alert. The
Commission has developed survey
templates, which are available at
https://www.fcc.gov/files/
preliminarysurvey0719pdf and https://
www.fcc.gov/files/livetestsurvey
0719pdf, that are representative of how
the surveys will appear on the
Commission’s Public Safety Support
Center, and seeks OMB approval of
these templates as a new information
collection. The information sought in
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703

this collection is necessary and vital to
ensuring that WEA is effective at
protecting the life and property of the
public.
