Al Kenyon from FEMA posted an explaination on Monday on this list.

It will be included in the monthly testing report FEMA posts.

The FCC does not have jurisdiction over FEMA (or other federal agencies). 
There is an inter-agency dispute song & dance federal agencies do with 
each other.

Therefor no requirement for FEMA or any federal government agency to 
perform weekly tests or answer questions about missing tests. FEMA IPAWS 
and National Weather Forecast Office weather radio conduct regular 
courtesy tests of EAS and IPAWS.
