(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited

the FCC seeks specific comment on how

it might ‘‘further reduce the information

OMB Control Number: 3060–1126.
Title: Testing and Logging
Requirements for Wireless Emergency
Alerts (WEA).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 76 respondents, 429,020
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3.375
hours.
Frequency of Response: Monthly and
on occasion reporting and record
keeping requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154, 301, 303,
307, 309, 316, 403, 554, 606, 1201, 1202,
1203, 1204, and 1206 of the
Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 119,121 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: 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, 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 requires
Participating CMS Providers to disclose
information regarding their capabilities
for geo-targeting Alert Messages
initiated by that emergency management
agency, and information regarding the
results of WEA Performance and Public
Awareness Testing. 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 encourages
emergency management agencies that
do not currently use WEA to become
authorized. These reporting and
recordkeeping requirements also help to
ensure a fundamental component of
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 would
be difficult to evaluate how any changes
to WEA may effect system integrity.

comments containing CBI and submitted by mail may be delayed and
deliveries or couriers will be received by scheduled appointment only.
If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment. This ensures that you
can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to
contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your
comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of
a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket. If EPA cannot read your

comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
Use of the https://www.regulations.gov website to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
Gautam Srinivasan,
Associate General Counsel.
