Stations Must File FCC’s ETRS Form 1 by October 3rd

At this point there appears to be no national EAS test scheduled for 2025.  Nonetheless, stations are required to file online forms with the EAS Test Reporting System on an annual basis.  The Public Safety Bureau just released a Public Notice stating that ETRS From 1 is due October 3, 2025.

“By this Public Notice, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) announces that the Emergency Alert System (EAS) Test Reporting System (ETRS) is available for receipt of filings and directs EAS Participants to submit their annual ETRS Form One for calendar year 2025 by no later than October 3, 2025. ETRS is an online filing system by which EAS Participants submit their Form One information, which includes identifying and background information such as EAS designation, EAS monitoring assignments, facility location, equipment type, contact information, and other relevant data.”
