[EAS] Activity at the FCC

[ed.czarnecki at monroe-electronics.com]

Following up on this topic:

After talking to a few folks in officialdom:

- FEMA's intent is to issue a list of "IPAWS conformed" devices in March 2011.

- the conformance assessments will adhere strictly to both the IPAWS CAP profile and ECIG EAS-CAP Guidlelines, which may pose challenge for some types of devices/configurations

- not getting the vibe from the FCC that they're inclined to extend the September 2011 deadline again (at least at this time).

Doubtful that the September date will hold.Commission has yet to even issue an NPRM concerning changesto part 11. Given that there is usually at least a 45 to 60day cycle required AFTER an NPRM is issued before any rulechanges are effective, it seems unduly optimistic that therewill be any firm rules in time to start up a manufacturingcycle to get equipment out by September.On top of the apparent lack of action by FEMA to issue alist of CAP approved devices from their tests..._______________________________________________EAS mailing listEAS at radiolists.nethttp://lists.radiolists.net/mailman/listinfo/eas
