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 Federal Emergency Management Agency (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 authorized in 47 CFR 10.350(d). Prior to conducting a WEA Performance and Public Awareness Test, an alerting authority must: (1) conduct outreach by notifying the public in advance of the test that no emergency is occurring; (2) include in the actual test message that the alert is, in fact, ‘‘only a test;’’ (3) coordinate the test among Participating CMS Providers that serve the geographic area targeted by the test, State, local, and Tribal emergency authorities, relevant State Emergency Communications Committees and first responder organizations, and (4) provide notice to the public in widely accessible formats that the test is only a test, not a warning about an actual emergency. 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.

responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3.375 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly and on occasion reporting 
requirements and record keeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection is contained in sections 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 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (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 authorized in 47 CFR 10.350(d). Prior to 
conducting a WEA Performance and Public Awareness Test, an alerting 
authority must: (1) conduct outreach by notifying the public in advance 
of the test that no emergency is occurring; (2) include in the actual 
test message that the alert is, in fact, ``only a test;'' (3) 
coordinate the test among Participating CMS Providers that serve the 
geographic area targeted by the test, State, local, and Tribal 
emergency authorities, relevant State Emergency Communications 
Committees and first responder organizations, and (4) provide notice to 
the public in widely accessible formats that the test is only a test, 
not a warning about an actual emergency.
    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

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.
