Synopsis In this document, the Federal Communications Commission the FCC
or Commission, takes actions implementing section 9201 of the William M. Mac Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, Public Law 116283, 134
Stat. 3388, 9201 NDAA21, exploring opportunities to improve the way the public receives emergency alerts on their mobile phones, televisions, and radios. The nations Emergency Alert System EAS and Wireless Emergency Alerts System WEA ensure that the public is quickly informed about emergency alerts issued by federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments and delivered over the radio, television, and mobile wireless devices.
Consistent with congressional directive, the Commission proposes rules to ensure that more people receive relevant emergency alerts, to enable EAS and WEA participants to report false alerts when they occur, and to improve the way states plan for emergency alerts. In this notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission proposes to implement sections 9201ad of the NDAA21 by adopting rules to ensure that mobile devices cannot opt-out of receiving WEA alerts from the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA. The Commission also proposes rules to encourage chief executives of states and territories to form State Emergency Communications Committees SECC if none exist in their states and to adopt additional requirements concerning their SECCs administration of State EAS Plans. For jurisdictions that already have a SECC, the Commission encourages chief executives to review its composition and governance. The Commission

proposes to enable the Administrator of FEMA and state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments to report false EAS and WEA alerts when they occur.
Also, the Commission proposes rules to permit repeating EAS alerts issued by the President, the Administrator of FEMA, and any other entity determined appropriate under the circumstances by the Commission. The rules the Commission proposes are intended to facilitate the further development of a robust and redundant system for distributing vital alert information to all Americans.
In addition, the Commission initiates an inquiry to implement section 9201e of the NDAA21. Section 9201e directs that the Commission not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of the Act, and after providing public notice and opportunity for comment. . .complete an inquiry to examine the feasibility of updating the Emergency Alert System to enable or improve alerts to consumers provided through the internet, including through streaming services. In this notice of inquiry, the Commission seeks comment on the definition of streaming services and whether it would be technically feasible for streaming services to complete each step that EAS
Participants complete under the Commissions rules in ensuring the endto-end transmission of EAS alerts, including monitoring for relevant EAS
alerts, receiving and processing EAS
alerts, retransmitting EAS alerts, presenting EAS alerts in an accessible manner to relevant consumers, and testing. The Commission also seeks comment on related matters including whether and how to leverage the capabilities of the internet and end-user devices to enhance the alerting capabilities of the radio and television stations, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wireline video providers that currently participate in EAS, as well as which additional internet-based services, if any, should be examined. As directed by Congress, after the conclusion of this inquiry, the Commission will submit a report on its findings and conclusions to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the United States Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the United States House of Representatives.
