The Emergency Alert System (EAS) Rules
adopted January 1, 1997 state that all FM translators not
rebroadcasting the entire programming of other local FM broadcast
stations must be in compliance by having EAS equipment installed
and working properly. In isolated and remote areas of Alaska it is
a matter of safety of life that local FM translators be in
compliance with the FCC Rules and Regulations. This survey will
ensure that those FM translators are in compliance with FCC Rules
and Regulations.
