Formally, SECCs are not regulatory entities, and have no enforcement 
authority. SECCs are advisory groups.  SECCs help prepare state EAS 
plans. However, until the FCC PSHS Bureau reviews and approves those state 
EAS plans, those plans are not enforcable by the FCC (and only the FCC).

SECCs have no formal role even as an advisory group concerning IPAWS or 
CMAS (Wireless Emergency Alerts), or the use of WEA by state or local 
government officials.
