Update: The FCC has extended the deadline for its ETRS Form One until October 18th. Please see more detail in the attached FCC Public Notice.
The FCC’s rules require that all Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participants update their identifying information in the EAS Test Reporting System (ETRS) annually. Accordingly, all EAS Participants must update and submit their ETRS Form One for 2024 by Friday, October 4, 2024.
For broadcasters, EAS Participants include full power radio and TV broadcast stations, low power FM stations, and Class D noncommercial educational FM stations. Low power TV stations, unless they are operating as a TV translator station, must also submit a Form One.
