Update: Effective Date Set for Revised EAS Rules

A couple of weeks ago we reported on the revisions to the Emergency Alert System rules adopted in the wake of the 2011 nationwide EAS test. Those revisions have now been published in the Federal Register, so we know that they will take effect on July 30, 2015. All the new rules, that is, EXCEPT Sections 11.21(a), and 11.61(a)(3)(iv), both of which involve information collections that will need a thumbs-up from OMB before they can kick in. Check back here for updates on that front.
