In the Report and Order, FCC 21-77 (rel. June 17, 2021), the Commission amends Part 11 of its rules to (i) encourage chief executives of states and territories to form SECCs if none exist in their states, or if the state has an SECC, to review its composition and governance criteria; (ii) include as a required element in the State EAS Plan, a certification by the SECC Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson that the SECC met (in person, via teleconference, or via other methods of conducting virtual meetings) at least once in the twelve months prior to submitting the annual updated plan to review and update their State EAS Plan—and incorporate such certification into the Alert Reporting System (ARS); (iii) require that the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) to approve or reject State EAS Plans submitted for approval within 60 days of receipt—for those instances in which the Bureau finds defects in a submitted plan requiring correction by the SECC, that State EAS Plan will be considered to be temporarily withdrawn, restarting the 60-day review and approval period anew upon resubmission of the corrected plan in ARS; (iv) require Bureau to list the approval dates of State EAS Plans submitted on ARS on the Commission’s website, and in the event a final decision is made to deny a plan, directly notify the chief executive of the State to which the plan applies of that determination and the reasons for such denial within 30 days of such decision; (v) adopt an EAS Plan Content Checklist composed of the plan content requirements set forth in § 11.21 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 11.21, and direct the Bureau to post the checklist on the Commission’s website and incorporate it as an appendix in the ARS user manual; and (vi) enable the Administrator of FEMA and state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments to report false EAS and WEA alerts when they occur.
