ERRATUM
Released: February 10, 2011
By the Chief, Policy Division, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau:
On February 3, 2011, the Commission released a Third Report and Order (Third R&O), 
FCC 11-12, in the above-captioned proceeding.  This Erratum amends the document as indicated 
below:
1. The last sentence in paragraph 20 is corrected to read as follows:
“(iv) Test results as required by the Commission shall be logged by all EAS 
Participants and shall be provided to the Commission’s Public Safety and 
Homeland Security Bureau within forty five (45) days following the test.”
2. The second sentence in paragraph 54 is corrected to read as follows:
“Accordingly, within forty five (45) days of the date of the first national EAS test, 
EAS Participants will be required to record and submit to the Commission the 
following test-related diagnostic information for each alert received from each 
message source monitored at the time of the national test:”
3. The fourth sentence  in paragraph 64 is corrected to read as follows:
 
“We also do not see, nor do Abbott and NSBA suggest, how any of this
information cannot easily be gathered and submitted within forty five days after 
the national alerting event occurs, even from stations that are generally unstaffed 
or automated.”
4. The initial rule amendment in Appendix B is corrected to read as follows:
“Section 11.61 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(3)(iv) to read as follows:
§ 11.61 Tests of EAS Procedures.

(iv) Test results as required by the Commission shall be logged by all EAS 
Participants and shall be provided to the Commission’s Public Safety and 
Homeland Security Bureau within forty five (45) days following the test.

5. The second sentence in paragraph 2 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows:
“To further serve this goal, this Third Report and Order adopts a rule to 
implement national testing of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) through use of 
a coded EAS message which will replace a required monthly test, and requiring 
logging and provision to the Commission of test-related diagnostic information 
within forty five (45) days of the test.”
