Sec. 11.42 Participation by communications common carriers.
(a) During activation of the National level EAS, communications common
carriers which have facilities available in place may, without charge,
connect:
(1) An originating source from the nearest service area to a selected Test
Center and then to the EAS Participant for the duration of the emergency,
provided an Emergency Action Notification is issued by the White House and
the originating source has a local channel from the originating point to the
nearest service area.
(2) An independent broadcast station to the radio and television broadcast
networks and any other EAS Participant provided the station has in service a
local channel from the station's studio or transmitter directly to the
broadcast source.
(b) Upon receipt of the Emergency Action Termination, the common carriers
shall disconnect the originating source and the participating independent
stations and restore the networks and other EAS Participants to their
original configurations.
(c) During a National level EAS Test, common carriers which have facilities
in place may, without charge, connect an originating source from the nearest
exchange to a selected Test Center and then to any EAS Participant.
Independent stations will not be connected during the test unless authorized
by the FCC. Upon test termination, EAS Participants shall be restored to
their original configurations.
(d) A common carrier rendering free service shall file with the FCC, on or
before July 31st and January 31st of each year, reports covering the six
months ending on June 30th and December 31st respectively. These reports
shall state what free service was rendered under this rule and the charges
in dollars which would have accrued to the carrier for this service if
charges had been collected at the published tariff rates if such carriers
are required to file tariffs.
