[EAS] FCC DA 14-1626 and DA 14-1628

NWS had already field tested the SAME protocol in the 1980s and they were rolling it out. It was adopted for EAS (after extensive field testing with broadcast and satellite engineers and through FCC comments) with an addition for the identifier who was relaying the message.  It was judged to be in the best interest for all concerned (government, industry and consumers) that the SAME and EAS protocols should be identical.

But it may also challenge the role of players like the NWS, which would be
challenged in changing their internal systems to product and consume such
modified EAS headers.  One small change can create major ripples in the
ecosystem.
