Sec.  11.47   Optional use of other communications methods and systems.

   

   (a) Broadcast stations may additionally transmit EAS messages through
   other communications means than the main audio channel. For example,
   on a voluntary basis, FM stations may use subcarriers to transmit the
   EAS codes including 57 kHz using the RBDS standard produced by the
   National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and television stations may
   use subsidiary communications services.

   (b) Other technologies and public service providers, such as DBS, low
   earth orbiting satellites, etc., that wish to participate in the EAS
   may contact the FCC's Office of Homeland Security, Enforcement Bureau,
   or their State Emergency Communications Committee for information and
   guidance.
