[EAS] Sorry, the FCC notice and EAS handbook are attached to this email. ##

[Ed Czarnecki]

Well, from the point of view of an EAS manufacturer, it may take the broadcaster cable operator 6 minutes, but we will probably get 1000 phone calls at 1 minute each. 
That's only a slight exaggeration - the FCC had estimated the ETRS would take EAS participants up to 43 hours to complete in total.  However, our customer support team has been fielding well over 45 hours *per week* in fielding just ETRS related questions.  That, of course is one full-time equivalent staff position.

Thanks Ed.  Hopefully that will help facility engineers which need to
customize the handbook for each facility.

According to the FCC Paperwork Reduction Act filing with OMB, it should
take approximately 6 minutes (0.1 hours) to customize and post the
handbook for each facility.

It will be interesting to hear from EAS Participants, how much time and
resources they actually spend customizing the new handbook for
each
facility.
