the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) seeks comment on 
filings made by Sirius XM Radio Inc. (Sirius XM) on July 31, 2014, June 5, 
2017, September 24, 2018, and November 5, 2018,2 as supplements to a 
Petition for Reconsideration filed by XM Radio Inc. on 
December 27, 2005 (XM Petition).3

  In its various post-2005 supplemental filings, Sirius XM requests 
interpretations of the Commission's EAS rules or, in the alternative, asks 
that the Commission grant, to the extent necessary, a
waiver to permit Sirius XM to transmit EAS header code tones in a 
compressed audio format over the four channels on the legacy XM platform 
that use compression technology on their audio.
