Needs and Uses: This is a notification 

of OMB approval of a new information 

collection for two new regulations 

under the Commission’s part 10 

Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) rules. 

No other information collections 

contained in the Commission’s 

regulations will be impacted by the new 

rules described herein. 

The WEA system is a mechanism 

under which Commercial Mobile 

Service (CMS) providers may elect to 

transmit emergency alerts to the public. 

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 Commission’s 

mandate to promote the safety of life 

and property through the use of wire 

and radio communication. 

On January 1, 2021, Congress passed 

the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA21). Section 

9201 of the NDAA21 required the 

Commission to complete a rulemaking 

and adopt rules within 180 days to 

make certain changes to its WEA 

regulations (as well as to its separate 

Emergency Alert System (EAS) 

regulations governing broadcast, cable 

television, and direct satellite media 

emergency alerts). 

With respect to the WEA rule 

changes, Section 9201 directed the 

Commission to ensure that the mobile 

devices of CMS providers that have 

elected to participate in WEA cannot 

opt out of receiving WEA alerts from the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) Administrator. Section 9201 

also directed the Commission to enable 

reporting by the FEMA Administrator 

and State, Tribal, local, and territorial 

governments of false WEA alerts. On 

June 21, 2021, the Commission released 

its NDAA21 Alerting Order, adopting 

the WEA and EAS changes directed by 

Congress in the NDAA21. The EAS 

changes are the subject of a different 

notice to be published separately. 

The NDAA21 Alerting Order 

implemented Congresses’ new 

directives for WEA, in part, with two 

new regulations that impose new 

burdens on respondents: the handset 

display update, and false alert reporting. 

Handset Display Update 

In the NDAA21 Alerting Order, the 

Commission combined the current nonoptional class of WEA ‘‘Presidential 

Alerts’’ with FEMA Administrator 

Alerts into a newly renamed alert class 

named ‘‘National Alerts.’’ Participating 

CMS providers that have chosen to 

display the phrase ‘‘Presidential Alert’’ 

on their handsets are required to either 

discontinue the handset’s use of that 

phrase or change those displays to read 

‘‘National Alert’’ by July 31, 2022. 

Network infrastructure that is 

technically incapable of meeting this 

requirement, such as legacy devices or 

networks that cannot be updated to 

support header display changes, are 

exempt from this requirement. The 

handset display changes are necessary 

to avoid confusion when wireless 

subscribers receive a non-optional 

emergency alert from the FEMA 

Administrator instead of the President. 

The handset display update 

regulation is codified at 47 CFR 

10.11(b). 

False Alert Reporting 

Also in the NDAA21 Alerting Order, 

the Commission adopted a rule 

permitting the FEMA Administrator or a 

State, local, Tribal, or territorial 

government to voluntarily report WEA 

false alerts to the FCC Operations Center 

at FCCOPS@fcc.gov, informing the 

Commission of the event and any 

relevant details. This rule creates a 

voluntary mechanism for a collection of 

information so that the Commission can 

monitor these false alert events which 

can undermine public confidence in the 

reliability of emergency alerting and 

WEA. Email reporting was adopted as a 

minimally-burdensome way for 

government entities to report false 

alerts. 

The WEA false alert reporting 

regulation is codified at 47 CFR 

10.520(d)(2).
