Total Annual Burden: 28,820 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: This Commission is requesting an extension of a currently approved information collection from the Office of Management and Budget OMB in order to obtain the three-year approval after this 60-day comment period. It includes the collection of the following information from Commercial Mobile Service CMS providers: 1
Enhanced notice to consumers at time of sale Enhanced Notice at Time of Sale;
2 disclosure as to degree of participation in wireless alerts in whole or in part Notice of Election; 3 notice to current subscribers of non-participation in WEA
Notice to Current Subscribers; and 4
a collection to include voluntary information collection for a database that the Commission plans to create Database Collection.
The Commission created WEA
previously known as the Commercial Mobile Service Alert System as required by Congress in the Warning Alert and Response Network WARN
Act and to satisfy the Commissions mandate to promote the safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communication.
All these information collections involve the Wireless Emergency Alert WEA system, a mechanism under which CMS providers may elect to transmit emergency alerts to the public.
OMB last granted these collection requests on August 1, 2018 ICR Ref. No.
2018043060013.
Notice of Election On August 7, 2008, the Commission released the Third Report and Order in PS Docket No. 07- 287 CMS Third Report and Order, FCC 08184. The CMS Third Report and Order implemented provisions of the WARN
Act, including a requirement that within 30 days of release of the CMS Third Report and Order, each CMS provider must file an election with the Commission indicating whether or not it intends to transmit emergency alerts as part of WEA. The Commission began accepting WEA election filings on or before September 8, 2008.
The Bureau has sought several extensions of this information collection. On January 30, 2018, the Commission adopted a WEA Second Report and Order and Second Order on Reconsideration in PS Docket Nos. 15
91 and 1594, FCC 184 WEA Second

R&O. In this order, the Commission defines in whole or in part WEA
participation, specifies the difference between these elections, and requires CMS providers to update their election status accordingly.
Enhanced Notice at Time of Sale Section 10.240 of the Commissions rules already requires that CMS
Providers participating in WEA in part provide notice to consumers that WEA may not be available on all devices or within the entire service area, as well as details about the availability of WEA service. As part of the WEA
Second R&O, the Commission adopted enhanced disclosure requirements, requiring CMS Providers participating in WEA in part to disclose the extent to which enhanced geo-targeting is available on their network and devices at the point of sale and the benefits of enhanced geo-targeting at the point of sale. We believe these disclosures will allow consumers to make more informed choices about their ability to receive WEA Alert Messages that are relevant to them.
Notice to Current Subscribers A CMS provider that elects not to transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or in whole, shall provide clear and conspicuous notice, which takes into account the needs of persons with disabilities, to existing subscribers of its non-election or partial election to provide Alert messages by means of an announcement amending the existing subscribers service agreement.
A CMS provider that elects not to transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or in whole, shall use the notification language set forth in 10.240 c or d respectively, except that the last line of the notice shall reference FCC Rule 47
CFR 10.250, rather than FCC Rule 47
CFR 10.240.
In the case of prepaid customers, if a mailing address is available, the CMS
provider shall provide the required notification via U.S. mail. If no mailing address is available, the CMS provider shall use any reasonable method at its disposal to alert the customer to a change in the terms and conditions of service and directing the subscriber to a voice-based notification or to a website providing the required notification.
Database Collection The Commission also seeks to extend OMB approval in connection with the Commissions creation of a WEA
database to improve information transparency for emergency managers and the public regarding the extent to which WEA is available in their area.
