§ 10.220   Withdrawal of election to participate in WEA.

   A CMS provider that elects to transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or
   in whole, may withdraw its election without regulatory penalty or
   forfeiture if it notifies all affected subscribers as well as the
   Federal Communications Commission at least sixty (60) days prior to the
   withdrawal of its election. In the event that a carrier withdraws from
   its election to transmit WEA Alert Messages, the carrier must notify
   each affected subscriber individually in clear and conspicuous language
   citing the statute. Such notice must promptly inform the customer that
   he or she no longer could expect to receive alerts and of his or her
   right to terminate service as a result, without penalty or early
   termination fee. Such notice must facilitate the ability of a customer
   to automatically respond and immediately discontinue service.
