[EAS] ETRS issues

[Rich Parker]

Also, for what it's worth - a very bad past experience with a critical
team member leaving a station, but not having access to their email,
we've decided to only use 'role based' emails for any FCC related
communications, especially ETRS!

An address like 'FCC@[station domain] with a group of folks assigned
to receive and respond has turned out to be very helpful in that
regard.

EAS Participants that did not meet the February 28, 2023 filing deadline continue to be obligated to submit the required information. The ETRS remains open for late filings and for corrections or updates to existing filings."
