The Federal Communications Commission announced the extension of the deadline for all EAS Participants to submit their ETRS Form One for calendar year 2024 in the Emergency Alert System (EAS) Test Reporting System (ETRS) to October 18, 2024.

The FCC said it was extending the filing deadline, which was previously October 4, 2024, to reduce burdens on EAS participants recovering from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. EAS Participants that have already submitted their ETRS Form One for calendar year 2024 need not take any further action.

Filers can access ETRS by visiting the ETRS page of the Commission’s website. Filers must use their registered FCC Username that is associated with the FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs) for which they will file. Filers that have already created a Username for use with another FCC system may access the ETRS with that Username. Filers that do not remember the password that corresponds with their Username may reset it here.
