The Commission is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for non-substantive changes to the methodology and survey associated with the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) testing in collection 3060-1269. The Commission proposes to collect 9,000 additional responses, fewer than 9,710 responses remaining in OMB’s approval of its proposed testing. As such, it believes that this round of testing falls within OMB’s prior approval and does not substantively change OMB’s prior approval. The Commission is requesting approval for non-substantive changes to the methodology and surveys associated with the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) testing in collection 3060-1269. The proposed update is designed to improve the accuracy of its findings by increasing the size of its control group from 2,000 respondents to 12,000 respondents. While the Commission initially believed 2,000 volunteers was largest size of the control group that its partners would make available, the Commission’s more recent experiences have demonstrated an overwhelming interest in making a large number of volunteers available to complete the survey. Based on this experience, the Commission now estimates a maximum of 12,000 respondents that will join the control group and take the WEA test survey. The Commission is requesting approval for non-substantial changes to the methodology and surveys associated with the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) testing in collection 3060-1269. The proposed updates to the collection’s methodology are designed to adapt the approved collection methodology for a nationwide test of WEA that will be conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the FCC, on August 11, 2021, at 2:20 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), with a backup date of August 25, 2021 at 2:20 p.m. EDT. The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) submits this non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) related to Information Collection, OMB Control Number 3060-1269, titled “Enhanced Geo-Targeted Wireless Emergency Alerts,” which was previously approved by OMB on February 5, 2020. As described in more detail in the enclosed materials, the Commission requests that OMB approve the following non-substantive changes to the information collection, please see the justification. The Federal Communication Commission's (Commission's) rules effective Nov. 30, 2019 require that Participating CMS providers (providers) be able to direct Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to 100% of a target geographic area specified by an alert originator with no more than a 0.1 mile overshoot (enhanced geo-targeting). The FCC seeks to perform an information collection to evaluate the accuracy and performance of providers' enhanced geo-targeting implementations shortly after this date.
