Sec. 11.35 Equipment operational readiness.
(a) EAS Participants are responsible for ensuring that EAS Encoders, EAS
Decoders and Attention Signal generating and receiving equipment used as
part of the EAS are installed so that the monitoring and transmitting
functions are available during the times the stations and systems are in
operation. Additionally, EAS Participants must determine the cause of any
failure to receive the required tests or activations specified in
Sec. 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2). Appropriate entries indicating reasons why any
tests were not received must be made in the broadcast station log as
specified in Sec. Sec. 73.1820 and 73.1840 of this chapter for all broadcast streams
and cable system records as specified in Sec. Sec. 76.1700, 76.1708, and 76.1711 of
this chapter. All other EAS Participants must also keep records indicating
reasons why any tests were not received and these records must be retained
for two years, maintained at the EAS Participant's headquarters, and made
available for public inspection upon reasonable request.
(b) If the EAS Encoder or EAS Decoder becomes defective, the EAS Participant
may operate without the defective equipment pending its repair or
replacement for 60 days without further FCC authority. Entries shall be made
in the broadcast station log, cable system records, and records of other EAS
Participants, as specified in paragraph (a) of this rule, showing the date
and time the equipment was removed and restored to service. For personnel
training purposes, the required monthly test script must still be
transmitted even though the equipment for generating the EAS message codes,
Attention Signal and EOM code is not functioning.
(c) If repair or replacement of defective equipment is not completed within
60 days, an informal request shall be submitted to the District Director of
the FCC field office serving the area in which the EAS Participant is
located, or in the case of DBS and SDARS providers to the District Director
of the FCC field office serving the area where their headquarters is
located, for additional time to repair the defective equipment. This request
must explain what steps have been taken to repair or replace the defective
equipment, the alternative procedures being used while the defective
equipment is out of service, and when the defective equipment will be
repaired or replaced.
