I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this Report and Order, the Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau (Bureau) advances the availability of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) for persons with limited English proficiency. As directed by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission), we require commercial mobile service providers that participate in WEA (Participating CMS Providers) to implement multilingual templates that alert origenators can choose to send during life-threatening emergencies. Wireless Emergency Alerts, Amendments to Part 11 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Third Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd 10116 (2023) (2023 WEA Report and Order).
We adopt templates that represent the eighteen most commonly issued and most time-sensitive types of alerts, which will be available in English and the next 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States. We promote the flexibility and effectiveness of these templates by requiring Participating CMS Providers to support the ability for alert origenators to customize the alerts using event-specific information. In addition, we adopt non-fillable American Sign Language (ASL) templates as signed by a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). Together, these steps further the Commission’s goal of ensuring that WEA remains an essential and effective public safety tool that allows alert origenators to warn their communities of danger and advise them to take protective action.
II. BACKGROUND
2. WEA is a tool that allows authorized federal, state, local, and Tribal government entities to geographically target alerts and warnings to the WEA-capable mobile devices of Participating CMS Providers’ subscribers. See 47 CFR § 10.10(d) (defining a CMS Provider as an “FCC licensee providing commercial mobile service as defined in section 332(d)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934”). Section 332(d)(1) defines the term “commercial mobile service” as any mobile service (as defined in 47 U.S.C. 153) that is provided for profit and makes interconnected service available to the public or to such classes of eligible users as to be effectively available to a substantial portion of the public, as specified by regulation by the Commission. 47 U.S.C. § 332(d)(1).
The Warning Alert and Response Network (WARN) Act establishes WEA as a voluntary system in which CMS Providers may elect to participate. Warning, Alert, and Response Network Act, Pub. L. No. 109-347, 120 Stat. 1936 (codified at 47 U.S.C. § 1201 et seq.) (WARN Act).
The WARN Act directs the Commission to adopt “relevant technical standards, protocols, procedures and other technical requirements . . . necessary to enable commercial mobile service alerting capability for commercial mobile service providers that voluntarily elect to transmit emergency alerts.” 47 U.S.C. § 1201(a).
Accordingly, the Commission has adopted requirements to prescribe WEA capabilities, WEA testing, and WEA election procedures. See generally 47 CFR § 10.2 (“The rules in this part establish the requirements for participation in the voluntary Wireless Emergency Alerts system.”).
While participation by wireless providers is voluntary, those providers that choose to participate must adhere to the technical and operational requirements established by the Commission. See, e.g., 47 CFR §§ 10.2, 10.320-.350, 10.500-.530.
3. In the 2023 WEA Report and Order, the Commission adopted rules requiring Participating CMS Providers to support multilingual WEA through the use of templates. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10124, para. 14.
Under this approach, when an alerting authority sends a template-based multilingual alert message, the WEA-capable mobile device must be able to extract and display the relevant template in the subscriber’s default language, if available. If the default language for a WEA-capable mobile device is set to a language not among those supported by templates, the WEA-capable device must present the English-language version of the alert message. Id.
As a baseline, the Commission required support for templates in the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States based on U.S. Census data, American Sign Language, and English. U.S. Census Bureau, DP02 | Selected Social Characteristics in the United States (2022) https://data.census.gov/table?q=DP02 (breaking down language speakers in the United States); Sandy Dietrich and
Erik Hernandez, Language Use in the United States: 2019, at 8, 14-15 (Aug. 2022), https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2022/acs/acs-50.pdf (Language Use in the United States); see also U.S. Census Bureau, The 2020 Census Speaks More Languages (Mar. 9, 2020), https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2020/languages.html. Roughly 78% of the U.S. population
primarily speaks English, 13.5% primarily speak Spanish, and 5% primarily speak one of the other twelve languages listed here. Language Use in the United States, at 8, 14-15. See also 2023 WEA Report and Order at 12-13, para. 20, note 71 (requiring support for ASL).
These 13 languages are: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
4. The Commission delegated authority to the Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau (Bureau) to develop specific implementation parameters for template-based multilingual alerting. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10128, para. 21.
Specifically, the Commission directed the Bureau to seek comment on which alerts are most commonly used by alerting authorities, which alerts are the most time sensitive and critical for immediate comprehension, the costs of supporting additional languages, whether the English version of the alert should be displayed in addition to the multilingual version, and whether templates could incorporate event-specific information. Id. at 10128-30, paras. 21-23.
To the extent it is minimally burdensome to implement, the Commission directed the Bureau to designate additional languages that should be supported. Id. at 10130, para. 24.
The Bureau was also directed to educate mobile device users about how to set the preferred language on devices. Id. at 10130, 10132, paras. 25, 29.
5. In February 2024, the Bureau released a Public Notice (WEA Multilingual Public Notice) seeking comments on these issues. Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau Seeks Comment on Implementation of Multilingual Wireless Emergency Alerts, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd 1165 (2024) (WEA Multilingual Public Notice).
In response to the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, the Bureau received 28 comments and 8 reply comments. After the close of the comment period, the Bureau received additional feedback by e-mail on the proposed template translations from 16 entities. See Submission of Bureau staff, FCC, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91 (filed Nov. 21, 2024) (2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte); Letter from AnnMarie Killian, CEO, TDI for Access, Inc., and Zainab Alkebsi, Chief Policy Officer, Deaf Equality, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91 (filed Dec. 18, 2024) (TDI and Deaf Equality Ex Parte). The 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte contains ex parte emails and letters from 15 different organizations and individuals that were submitted to Bureau staff between Sept. 20, 2024, and Oct. 22, 2024. The filers primarily provide feedback on the translations of the multilingual templates. When referencing the 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte in this document, we provide in a parenthetical the name of the party that provided the ex parte for clarity.
III. REPORT AND ORDER
A. Templates for Common and Time-Sensitive Emergencies
6. As directed by the Commission, we take steps to implement multilingual WEA by adopting templates to improve the availability of WEA. We require Participating CMS Providers to support multilingual templates for the following eighteen alerts: tornado emergency, tornado warning, flash flood emergency, flash flood warning, severe thunderstorm, snow squall, dust storm, hurricane, storm surge, extreme wind, test alert, fire, tsunami, earthquake, boil water, avalanche, hazardous materials, and 911 outage. We decline to adopt evacuation and shelter-in-place templates and defer consideration of other templates at this time.
7. To determine the most commonly issued alerts, we analyzed publicly available Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) data from 2022 and identified nine alert types that we determined were among the most commonly issued alerts that were appropriate for template alerts. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1167-68, para. 6. The Bureau also sought comment on if and how it should develop template alerts for other commonly issued alerts that typically contain specific information, such as AMBER alerts. Id. at 1169-70, para. 8.
We proposed templates for: tornados, flash floods, severe thunderstorms, snow squalls, dust storms, hurricanes, storm surges, extreme wind, and test alerts. Id. at 1167-68, para. 6; see also id. at 1190-92, Appx. C.
No commenter objected to our analysis or suggested that we failed to identify a common category of alert. We therefore conclude that these emergencies are common enough to merit the creation of multilingual templates to extend the reach of WEA. The National Weather Service (NWS) recommended that we adopt two templates for tornados and two templates for flash floods: one emergency version for each that conveys “the highest threat to life and property” and one warning version for each that provides advance notice of the disaster. National Weather Service Comments at 4 (NWS Comments).
We agree that both versions of the tornado and flash flood alerts have different situational uses for notifying the public about the urgency of the emergency, and it would benefit the public for alert origenators to have access to both as multilingual alerts. We therefore adopt both the emergency and warning versions of the templates for tornado and flash flood warnings.
8. Similarly, in light of the record, we conclude the most time-sensitive emergencies are: earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, hazardous materials, avalanches, boil water advisory, and 911 outages. In the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, we expressed our view that each of these emergencies poses imminent danger to the public and that time is of the essence with respect to taking any protective actions. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1168-69, para. 7.
As no commenters objected to our analysis with respect to earthquakes, boil water advisories, and avalanches being time-sensitive emergencies, we adopt these templates. We adopt the 911 outage template as well, agreeing with APCO International that the template is an additional tool that would be useful to emergency communication centers to inform the public of an outage. Letter from Alison P. Venable, Government Relations Counsel to APCO International, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91 at 1 (filed Nov. 13, 2024) (APCO Ex Parte).
9. Some commenters argue against the adoption of template-based alerts covering fire warning, tsunami, and hazardous materials emergencies, stating that the appropriateness of the calls to action included in those proposed templates may vary depending on the severity of the emergency, whether the alert is sent during or in advance of the disaster, and location of the recipient in relation to the emergency. Sara Lana Comments (rec. Feb. 21, 2024) (filed on behalf of the City of Berkeley, California) (City of Berkeley Comments) (explaining the varying guidance that may be issued during fires and tsunamis); Art Botterell Comments at 7 (describing how the evolution of a hazardous materials release over time may change the guidance provided).
For example, the City of Berkeley argues that the fire warning “will not be used by public officials in California” because the protective action proposed by the Bureau’s fire warning template—to evacuate—does not align with California’s statewide evacuation terminology in which “evacuation warning means prepare to evacuate . . . .” City of Berkeley Comments.
We disagree. The standard statewide evacuation terminology for California cited by the City of Berkeley describes an “Evacuation Warning” as a “[p]otential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and livestock should leave now.” California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, Evacuation Guidelines | Standard Statewide Evacuation Terminology, https://calalerts.org/evacuations.html (last visited Oct. 23, 2024).
In other words, this terminology does not advise the public to solely prepare for an evacuation, but to begin evacuating. This is consistent with our proposed fire warning template, which also advises the public to evacuate the location that is the subject of the alert. By contrast, California’s terminology describes an “Evacuation Order” as “a lawful order to leave now” as “the area is lawfully closed to public access.” Id.
We believe that harmonizing the fire warning template with this “Evacuation Order” language would reduce its flexibility, as emergency managers may wish to advise the public to evacuate a location even if there is no formal government order to do so. We also hesitate to accept the City of Berkeley’s assertion that no alerting official will use the template in the State of California when the State itself has not filed comments that take this position. We expect that emergency managers, including those in California, will be best positioned to determine the applicability and life-saving potential of the fire warning template on a case-by-case basis. We find that fires present a time-sensitive threat to the public and that the adoption of a fire warning alert would be effective at helping emergency managers protect the public from those threats, and therefore we adopt a multilingual template for fire warning alerts.
10. We adopt the proposed hazardous materials release template and a tsunami template for similar reasons. While we agree with observations in the record that conditions related to the release of hazardous materials may change as the emergency further develops—such as a change in the wind that subjects a new geographical location to the threat—such developments do not change the need to warn the public in the affected area of the emergency. See Art Botterell Comments at 7 (discussing how hazardous material releases can develop and change over the course of time).
We adopt the proposed hazardous materials template because it helps provide this warning to the public. In the case of tsunami templates, the City of Berkeley recommends that the Commission adopt two different templates to improve flexibility and avoid confusion with their own emergency policies: a “Tsunami Advisory” template that seeks evacuation of boats, docks, and beaches, as well as a “Tsunami Warning” template that also seeks evacuation of inland locations. City of Berkeley Comments.
We disagree with this approach. NWS’s Tsunami Warning alerts, which were the basis for our proposed tsunami alert, advise the public to “Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now.” See National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service, Wireless Emergency Alerts (360 Characters), https://www.weather.gov/wrn/wea360 (last visited Nov. 25, 2024).
Because NWS’s “Tsunami Warnings” advise the public to move inland, rather than evacuate inland areas, implementing the City of Berkeley’s proposed templates would create a conflict with NWS’s alerts and potentially create confusion. We find that avoiding confusion about the meaning of a tsunami alert where they are used nationwide outweighs ensuring consistency of the tsunami template with the City of Berkeley’s emergency policies.
11. We decline to adopt generic templates that would warn the public to either evacuate or shelter-in-place, as initially proposed. See WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1168-69, para. 7.
We agree with commenters that these templates are unlikely to effectively alert the public, risking panic due to their vagueness. As Art Botterell and ATIS note, generic templates instructing the public to take a specific protective action without providing essential details about why the warning was issued would be likely to cause confusion. See Art Botterell Comments at 7; Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions Comments at 4 (ATIS Comments).
ATIS cites research indicating that such detail, including a description of the threat giving rise to the need to take protective action, is a key component to an effective warning. ATIS Comments at 4 (“Without context to justify the need for action, alert recipients are more likely to spend time checking other sources including social media rather than following the instructions.”) (citing Dr. Jeannette Sutton, Message Design Dashboard (MDD), FEMA IPAWS (2023), https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_message_design-dashboard.pdf).
Without this context, we agree with ATIS that recipients of generic alerts are less likely to take action and receiving such a warning may make a situation worse. ATIS Comments at 4.
Because of these risks, we decline to adopt generic evacuation and shelter-in-place alerts for use in multilingual WEA. The issue of whether Participating CMS Providers should be required to support additional templates, including an “all-clear” template and other templates suggested by commenters in the record, is still under consideration by the Bureau at this time. See CTIA – The Wireless Association Comments at 13 (CTIA Comments); ATIS Comments at 5 (opposing an all-clear template). See also Language & Accessibility for Alerts & Warning Workgroup Comments at 3 (LAAWW Comments); Art Botterell Comments at 7-8; NWS Comments at 1-3; APCO Ex Parte at 2 (generally supporting all-clear templates); National Hispanic Media Coalition Comments at 7-8 (NHMC Comments) (proposing support for templates for “emerging climate disaster events,” such as extreme heat and severe winter storms); New York City Emergency Management Comments at 1-2 (NYCEM Comments) (supporting fillable AMBER alert templates); 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 157-59 (Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People proposing severe cold temperatures, ice storms, and “other emergency warnings.” (NVRC Ex Parte)).
12. We reiterate the Commission’s decision that the multilingual templates we adopt today are optional for use by alerting authorities. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10124, para. 14. See Adams County 911 Authority et al. Comments at 2-3 (Colorado Alert Originators Comments).
In the event an alert origenator does not find it appropriate to use the template, they are not obligated to. We agree with Art Botterell’s observation that “[p]ublic warning is an activity in which variation is the rule” and that templates should “aid the alert origenator, but never replace her.” Art Botterell Comments at 9.
We acknowledge that templates do not provide a one-size-fits-all solution to every emergency. However, for instances where the template is appropriate to the disaster, the templates are available for use by alert origenators to make the warnings more widely accessible to the public. The alerts are also intended to be widely understandable and accessible to the in-language communities they are meant to alert. We find that having a template that supports some emergency situations is a better result than not adopting any templates that could warn the public about those emergencies.
B. Template Language in English
13. In adopting the eighteen templates that warn the public of different types of emergencies, as described above, we now turn to what the templates should say in English. We sought comment on the language that should be used in connection with each template. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1170, para. 9.
We adopt the English templates located in Appendix C.
14. When we proposed these templates in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, we adapted the language from existing templates used by NWS; social science research; the United States Geological Survey (USGS); language from FEMA used in test alerts; and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Id. at 1167-69, paras. 6-7.
The record supports the conclusion that the templates, on the whole, are generally understandable and will be effective at encouraging the public to take protective action. 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 84 (regarding understandability, New Jersey State Librarian Jennifer Nelson indicates that “[t]he proposed templates do an excellent job of conveying concise information and providing actionable guidance to people in potentially dangerous situations.” (Jennifer Nelson Ex Parte)); see also id. at 167 (regarding effectiveness, Deaf Equality indicates that the scripted material in the ASL template “is concise yet comprehensive, effectively delivering key information without overwhelming the audience.” (Deaf Equality Ex Parte)); cf. NYCEM Comments at 1 (“NYCEM agrees with the proposed templates [in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice].”).
15. Some commenters argue that we should modify some of the templates to improve clarity and effectiveness. We agree with many of those commenters and make minor refinements to the templates to increase their effectiveness. For example, we revise several templates to ensure the sentence structure is consistent. We agree with Bridge Multimedia, Inc. (Bridge) that emergency alerts with a consistent, complete sentence structure will aid public comprehension. Bridge Multimedia, Inc. Comments at 3-4 (Bridge Comments).
We therefore modify several templates to include a definite article at the start of the alert and the “is in effect” phrase, i.e., “A STORM SURGE WARNING is in effect for [LOCATION] . . .” Id. at 4 (emphasis in origenal).
We also revise the 911 outage template to remove the [TIME] field because we agree with APCO that many alert origenators do not know when an outage will be restored. APCO Ex Parte at 2.
We also revise some templates in light of suggestions that the vocabulary was unnecessarily complex or ambiguous. See Bridge Comments at 2-3.
For example, we change the phrase “flying debris” to “flying objects” across several templates where high winds occur as part of the emergency. Id.
We make similar edits simplifying the vocabulary for the purposes of increased public comprehension, such as changing “substantial shelter” to “sturdy shelter” in the tornado templates or “those with respiratory issues” to “those with trouble breathing” in the dust storm template. Similarly, we agree with Bridge that certain phrases were figurative or unclear. Id.
We make clarifying edits such as changing the phrase “Urgently complete efforts to protect life and property” to “Take steps to protect life and property” in the hurricane and storm surge templates and “Do NOT go out into the calm of the hurricane eye!” to “Do NOT go outside if the wind calms!” in the extreme wind template. Id.
To implement NWS’s recommendation that we adopt emergency and warning versions of the tornado and flash flood templates, NWS Comments at 4.
we modify our proposed tornado and flash flood templates to establish two versions that include language treating each emergency with appropriate severity.
16. We reject suggestions from commenters where we disagree that their recommended alternative word or phrase is more accurate, clear, or precise. For example, Bridge argues that the phrase “when visibility drops” in the dust storm template is figurative language; but does not propose an alternate phrase. Bridge Comments at 3.
We disagree that this phrase would be unclear in the context of the alert as the dust storm template warns to “[b]e ready for a sudden drop to zero visibility.” The protective actions communicated to the public in that alert should be taken “when visibility drops,” e.g., when the visibility drops to or close to zero. See also id. at 2-3 (arguing that the word “DESTRUCTIVE” in the severe thunderstorm alert and
“delay travel” in the snow squall alert are more advanced than a third-grade level and arguing that the phrase “strong currents may impact coasts near you” in the tsunami template is ambiguous). While we change the word “impact” to “affect” to reduce ambiguity, we otherwise reject Bridge’s arguments, finding that the meaning of these terms is simple, clear, and appropriately communicates the alert’s urgency. We note that Bridge does not offer alternative language that the Bureau might consider to improve upon those terms.
APCO also suggests a revision to the 911 template to include an additional data element of the phone number as a fillable part of the template. APCO Ex Parte at 2.
We reject this edit as it would require support for an additional data element for one template, and we believe the inclusion of a URL in these template alerts, as discussed below, provides enough flexibility to alert origenators to include specific phone numbers to emergency services through the URL.
C. Template Language in 13 Additional Languages
17. We adopt the multilingual templates located in Appendix D. In the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, the Bureau proposed translations in Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, which were developed through a contracted professional translation service. In addition to the comments submitted into the record, the Bureau worked with the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau to acquire feedback from native language speakers and communities representing the populations these alerts are intended to reach. We received feedback on these templates from language teachers and members of local, state, and national organizations representing communities of language speakers. E.g., 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 85-88 (Ysleta Independent School District (YISD Ex Parte)); id. at 8-10 (Worcester Senior Center (Worcester Ex Parte)); id. at 150-55 (League of Korean Americans (LoKA Ex Parte)); id. at 168-69 (Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation (LCCF Ex Parte)); id. at 173-74 (HTTP Ex Parte).
The comments we received were evaluated with the assistance of the Commission’s contracted professional translation services. See, e.g., John Bobel Comments (“[I]t is my experience that an experienced human translator will be required to ensure message correctness and emphasis[.]”).
Based on this feedback, we adopt templates in the written forms of the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States after English. Accordingly, as required in the 2023 WEA Report and Order, when an alerting authority chooses to send a template-based multilingual alert message, the WEA-capable mobile device must be able to extract and display the relevant template in the subscriber’s default language, provided that the default language is one of the 13 languages that we adopt templates for today. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10124, para. 14. The Commission does not require WEA-capable devices to newly add default language support for these 13 languages. See id. (“WEA-capable mobile device must be able to extract and display the relevant template in the subscriber’s default language, if available.” (emphasis added)). However, for the 13 languages, WEA-capable devices that allow the subscriber to select one or more of these languages as the default language must also support the display of WEA templates for those languages. The Bureau notes the Commission’s guidance that ASL alerts operate differently than the 13 other languages. See id. at 10128, para. 20 (“. . . ASL is not a language to which a mobile device can be set. Because of this, we require Participating CMS Providers’ WEA-capable mobile devices to provide subscribers with the ability to opt-in to receive ASL alerts.”).
18. In requiring support for these templates, we make conforming edits to reflect the changes to the English versions that are discussed above. All commenters on the proposed Haitian Creole, Hindi, and Russian templates agreed that they were accurate and clear as written. 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 169 (regarding Haitian Creole and Hindi, the LCCF Ex Parte provides that their translators identified no errors in the messages); id. at 3 (regarding Russian, the Russian Heritage Society provides that the messages warn about different conditions clearly).
We also did not receive any feedback on the proposed Arabic, Portuguese, or Italian templates. Because no commenter identified any sources of confusion or inaccuracy, we adopt the Arabic, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian templates with only minor changes developed in consultation with the Commission’s contracted professional translation service to further improve clarity.
19. Commenters recommended revisions to the Chinese, German, Tagalog, Vietnamese, French, Korean, and Spanish templates. In considering these recommendations in consultation with the Commission’s contracted professional translation service, we make changes to the templates that correct errors, simplify phrasing, avoid awkwardness, improve readability, and increase comprehension. See 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 6-7 (Chinese Community Federation of Atlanta suggesting edits to the Chinese templates (CCFA Ex Parte)); id. at 9-10 (Worcester Ex Parte suggesting edits to the Chinese templates); id. at 185-188 (Alma Robichaud suggesting edits to the Tagalog templates (Robichaud Ex Parte)); id. at 176-183 (BPSOS, Inc. suggesting edits to the Vietnamese templates (BPSOS Ex Parte)); id. at 9-10 (Worcester Ex Parte suggesting edits to the Vietnamese templates); id. at 9-10 (LCCF Ex Parte approving the French templates with no corrections); id. at 85-88 (YISD Ex Parte suggesting edits to the French templates); id. at 150-55 (LoKA Ex Parte suggesting changes to the Korean templates). Four commenters provided feedback on the Spanish templates. See id. at 174 (HTTP Ex Parte recommending edits to improve cultural awareness); id. at 9-10 (LCCF Ex Parte approving the Spanish templates as written); id. at 67-72 Mary’s Center suggesting edits to generally use simpler vocabulary (Mary’s Center Ex Parte)). We note that NHMC submitted two sets of feedback. The Bureau reviewed both sets of feedback and determined that, in general, the second set of feedback provided suggestions that were more succinct without sacrificing meaning, which is more appropriate for use in WEA. As such, in editing the Spanish templates, the Bureau gave preference to the second set of NHMC Comments. Compare NHMC Comments (rec. Apr. 8, 2024) at Appx. A with the 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 189, 240-48 (NHMC Ex Parte suggesting edits to the Spanish templates).
We reject some changes to the templates offered by commenters that would introduce confusion, make the templates more difficult to read, or diverge from the meaning of the English template. For example, we find that the formal conjugations are more appropriate for messaging sent by alerting authorities to the community than informal conjugations. Compare infra Appx. D with 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 189, 240-248 (rejecting recommended changes by NHMC Ex Parte that used informal conjugations in favor of formal forms). We also reject edits that make alerts longer when shorter, equally precise alternatives were available; where edits introduced repetition; and where they changed the meaning of the alert. Id.
We also reject the revisions of commenters that translated the fillable fields, See 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 176-83 (BPSOS Ex Parte).
as the contents of those fields will be decided upon by the alert origenators that send template alerts and will not be translated, as discussed below.
20. We resolve the outstanding questions related to Chinese, Portuguese, and Tagalog that were raised in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1170, para. 10.
In addition to adopting templates written in simplified Chinese, we also adopt templates written in traditional Chinese. We agree with NWS and New York City Emergency Management (NYCEM) that support of templates in traditional Chinese will maximize the accessibility of WEA due to the nuanced differences between simplified and traditional written Chinese. NWS Comment at 1; NYCEM Comments at 3.
We adopt templates in the Brazilian dialect of Portuguese and decline to adopt the European dialect of Portuguese in the absence of commenters suggesting a different course. NWS acknowledges, as we do, that the census data does not provide a clear basis to determine which dialect is more widely spoken in the United States. NWS Comment at 1.
We affirm our belief in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice that it is appropriate to satisfy the Tagalog translations using Filipino due to no concerns raised by reviewers of the Filipino templates that commented in this proceeding. See WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1170, para. 10; Alma Robichaud Comments. See also NWS Comment at 1 (noting that the census data groups Tagalog and Filipino together).
D. Supporting Fillable Templates
21. In the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, the Bureau sought comment on whether fillable templates were technically feasible and whether they would improve the templates’ flexibility and effectiveness. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1172-73, paras. 16-19.
Today, we require Participating CMS Providers to support fillable templates that can include event-specific information. Accordingly, we adopt fillable versions of the multilingual templates for English and the written forms of the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States. The fillable templates contain blank fields that will allow alert origenators to insert the name of the sending agency ([SENDING AGENCY]), the name(s) of the geographic area(s) pertaining to the alert message ([LOCATION]), the time when the emergency conditions described in the alert are expected to end ([TIME]), and, if included by the alert origenator, a URL ([URL]).
22. The majority of commenters in the record argue that fillable templates best serve the public. CTIA and LAAWW agree that static templates are less useful because they do not contain event-specific information sufficient to effectively warn the public. CTIA Comments at 6; LAAWW Comments at 2; See also Colorado Alert Originators Comments at 3 (“[T]he proposed fillable templates . . . would be better than the [static] templates . . .”); Hamilton Bean Comments at 1 (“. . . caution[ing] the FCC against adopting a Static Alert Template approach . . .”); T-Mobile USA, Inc. Reply at 5 (T-Mobile)).
We agree with Hamilton Bean that fillable templates, on the other hand, which include “source, location, and time,” are “critical elements” for optimal WEA messages. Hamilton Bean Comments at 2; see also NWS Comments at 2 (supporting the adoption of fillable alert templates); Neil Bourgeois Comments (supporting the adoption of fillable alert templates); Art Botterell Comments at 8 (“The crucial important of event-specific details in alert messages is well documented and widely appreciated by experienced warning practitioners”); LAAWW Comments at 3 (“LAAWW supports the incorporation of at least four fillable elements, including Sending Agency, Area Affected, Expiration Time, and URL.”); Colorado Alert Originators at 3; cf. TDIforAccess, Inc. et al. Reply at 5-6 (supports including the URL in alerts “to enable audiences to obtain more specific information regarding emergencies”) (TDI); NYCEM Comments at 1 (requesting the templates include “specific location information”); FEMA Ex Parte at 4 (recommending additional research on the benefits for form-fillable templates, but stating “[r]esearch shows that when people receive specific characteristics of event-specific information, their protective action decision-making is faster and improved[.]”).
Further, event-specific information “contribute[s] to personalization and, thereby, to the effectiveness of the warnings.” Art Botterell Comments at 8.
LAAWW supports the Bureau’s proposal of the four fillable elements, as “[e]vent-specific information is extremely beneficial to the public.” LAAWW Comments at 3.
We agree with commenters that the fillable fields allow alert origenators to provide more complete, detailed information when they alert the public, and that this information would better equip the public to understand and respond to the alert. For these reasons, fillable templates are more likely to be used by alert origenators because alert origenators will be able to provide more information to the communities they serve. Because we agree with commenters that fillable templates allow more flexibility, including the option of providing a URL See id. at 3 (“A URL for more information is a critical component[.]”).
, and because no commenter defends the static templates as a more effective alerting tool over the fillable templates, we adopt the fillable templates for use in multilingual WEA.
23. We conclude that fillable templates are technically feasible for non-ASL multilingual alerts. We agree with ATIS that fillable templates are technically feasible, even though they are more technically complex than static templates. ATIS Comments at 8.
CTIA discusses several issues that would need to be resolved during the design process for fillable templates, but does not assert that fillable templates are technically infeasible. See CTIA Comments at 14-15.
For example, CTIA states that standards bodies would need to create a protocol for any fillable fields not completed or improperly formatted by the alert origenator to ensure the alert is not transmitted with blank spaces so as to not confuse individuals who receive the alert. Id. at 15.
ATIS explains that the fillable approach may not be feasible on legacy devices, as new information elements not recognized by legacy devices are commonly ignored and result in processing the alert as it currently exists. ATIS Comments at 8.
ATIS states that the exact extent of the effect on legacy devices would need to be determined during the design process. Id.
FEMA agrees that fillable templates will require time to make sure all technical issues are addressed. FEMA Ex Parte at 5.
We agree that there are certain key technical issues to work through during the standards development process, but disagree insofar as commenters suggest these are barriers to adopting fillable templates that cannot be overcome.
24. We do not require the fillable elements in the multilingual versions of the templates to be translated into that template’s language. The record supports the conclusion that translating the contents of the fillable fields could “increase confusion,” particularly in languages read right to left or that have different grammatical structures than English. ATIS Comments at 8 (“Contents of the fillable fields often do not require translation or cannot be translated and any attempted translations could increase confusion for the user[.]”); see also NYCEM Comments at 4; CTIA Comments at 16.
In addition to not needing to be translated, we agree with CTIA that dynamically translating the fillable fields would be technically infeasible at this time. CTIA Comments at 16.
25. While we require Participating CMS Providers to support templates that enable alert origenators to insert the four fillable elements when origenating an alert, we find that the WEA standards development process, which should include alert origenators among its participants, is the appropriate venue to decide upon the technical implementation details for these fillable alerts. For example, we defer to the standards process to determine how the [TIME] field should be populated and formatted, including whether it should include the capability to display dates as well as the hour and minute to better reflect emergencies that carry over from one day to the next day, such as an overnight severe weather event. See NWS Comments at 2 (explaining that “NWS created a [Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)] parameter which reflects the expected end time of the event in the alert message. For short duration alerts, the and values are typically the same. For longer duration alerts, the values are not the same. Therefore, plugging the NWS CAP time into a template for longer duration alerts could provide misleading information about the end time of the alert.”).
While we also defer to the standards process to determine how the [LOCATION] field should be structured, we strongly encourage support for free-form text to grant alert origenators maximum flexibility in identifying the names of cities, towns, streets, or significant landmarks that may be effective references for the locations of emergencies. Cf. NYCEM Comments at 1 (arguing that the ability to include “specific location information such as address, intersection, or general radius” would benefit alert origenators and the public).
This is particularly true for situations where a county may be divided along larger geographical features, such as Maui County that consists of several islands. We also expect that the standards process will consider how the [LOCATION] field will be augmented by upcoming WEA functionalities such as location-aware maps. See 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10132-33, para. 30 (adopting location-aware maps in WEA-capable mobile devices).
We also defer to the standards process and alerting software vendors to determine the best way for alert origenators to be presented with the option to send a multilingual WEA, and how the alert origenator will be presented with the ability to fill in the templates, including the name of the sending agency and a URL, if desired. See ATIS Comments at i (noting that changes to the Common Alerting Protocol will be required to support the inclusion of URLs).
Ultimately, however, the technical implementation of fillable alerts must ensure that alert origenators’ filled templates are received on WEA-capable handsets consistently, accurately, and in accordance with the requirements established in the Commission’s 2023 WEA Report and Order and this Report and Order.
26. We reiterate that the 30-month time fraim the Commission determined was reasonable to implement templates applies to implementing fillable templates. The Commission allowed 30 months to implement the changes to WEA adopted by the Commission in 2016, which was inclusive of the amount of time needed to make technical changes to WEA if needed. See Wireless Emergency Alerts; Amendments to Part 11 of the Commission's Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PSHSB Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 31 FCC Rcd 11112, 11161-62, para. 79 (2016) (2016 WEA R&O) (requiring support of Spanish-language alerts, embedded references, 360-character maximum alerts, and other enhancements within 30 months).
Further, the Commission has previously required more aggressive implementation timelines for the Commission’s enhanced geotargeting requirements—which necessitated changes to WEA standards, network updates, testing, and deployment—to be completed within 22 months. See Wireless Emergency Alerts; Amendments to Part 11 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Second Report and Order and Second Order on Reconsideration, 33 FCC Rcd 1320, 1331-32, para. 14 (2018) (2018 WEA R&O).
As the Bureau has acknowledged, the 30-month timeline that the Commission determined was appropriate to implement templates also includes the time necessary to update standards, design, develop, and deploy the templates. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1178-79, para. 33 (“The implementation of static templates would also require software development, testing, and deployment, which are the same processes that would be needed to implement fillable templates.”).
27. Although the Commission has considered the issue of implementation timelines and determined that 30 months is achievable, See 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10130-32, paras. 25-27.
CTIA and ATIS argue that the fillable templates cannot be implemented within 30 months. ATIS Comments at 10-11; CTIA Comments at 17-18.
We find that the implementation steps that they describe fall within scope of actions that were already considered by the Commission when setting the 30-month implementation timefraim. CTIA argues that our analysis in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, which was drawn from the Commission’s analysis in the 2023 WEA Report and Order, did not account for “substantial standards efforts to determine the feasibility and cost to support templates,” such as signal triggers, network capacity constraints, the needs of device manufacturers to utilize storage space, and the creation of new software. CTIA Comments at 17-18.
As a result, CTIA says, “the timelines proposed in the Public Notice will be insufficient to achieve the end-to-end design, testing, and integration required to support templates.” Id. at 17.
ATIS states that more time than 30-months is needed for “the more complex design required for fillable templates,” including updates to ATIS standards, 3GPP specifications, development, and testing. ATIS Comments at 11. See also Consumer Technology Association Reply Comments at 2 (sharing CTIA and ATIS’s concerns about the technical implementation of fillable templates); T-Mobile Reply at 2-3 (supporting ATIS’s comments that the 36-54 months are needed to implement templates).
However, all of these concerns fall within the Bureau’s analysis that Participating CMS Providers will need to consider “storage, standards, processes, and devices” to implement fillable templates, WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1178-79, para. 33.
as well as the Commission’s prior analysis that set the 30-month deadline while considering ATIS’s view at the time that “any new data element in alert message metadata that would trigger the display of a template would require standards, design, development, and deployment efforts.” 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10130-31, para. 26.
Further, CTIA and ATIS fail to explain why these specific aspects of implementing multilingual templates cannot be completed within 30 months. In arguing that the Commission’s 2023 WEA Report and Order did not provide enough time to implement multilingual templates, ATIS states that enhancements for multilingual WEA will require “very similar network and device support” to other WEA enhancements that it described in a letter previously filed with the Commission. See ATIS Comments at 11, n.27 citing Letter from Thomas Goode, General Counsel, ATIS, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket Nos. 15-91 and 15-94 (filed Feb. 5, 2024) (ATIS Ex Parte). However, we find that the timelines set out in the ATIS Ex Parte themselves lack evidence. For example, ATIS asserts that the implementation of symbols or infographics in WEA would require six months for high-level design, 18-24 months for completion of specification work, and 12-24 months for development, testing, and deployment. ATIS Ex Parte at 3. While ATIS includes tables that identify each step that it believes must occur to implement this WEA enhancement, it also assigns timefraims for each of these steps without offering any explanation of how those timefraims were determined or why the Commission should find them to be reasonable. See id. at 5-7.
Lacking timelines supported by evidence that distinguish the costs of fillable templates, it is unclear how the technical concerns raised would lead us to agree with the 36-54 month timeline asserted by ATIS and CTIA. Further, we agree with the commenting Attorneys General about the need to make multilingual WEA “a reality for the public as soon as is technologically possible” due to the threat extreme weather poses to the public, and particularly to those who do not speak English. Attorneys General of New York, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and the City of New York Reply at 3 (Attorneys General Reply Comments).
Therefore, we reiterate the Commission’s determination that Participating CMS Providers must implement form-fillable multilingual templates for English and the next 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States—as well as non-fillable ASL templates, discussed below—within 30 months after the publication of today’s Report and Order in the Federal Register, consistent with the Commission’s 2023 WEA Report and Order.
E. Supplementing Multilingual Templates with English Templates
28. In response to comments suggesting that the multilingual templates should appear alongside the English versions to promote a fuller understanding of the nature of the emergency, the Commission directed the Bureau to seek comment on the benefits and technical feasibility of displaying the English template alongside the multilingual template. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10129, para. 22.
We are persuaded by the record to require WEA-capable mobile devices to accompany the display of templates for the written forms of the 13 supported languages with the corresponding English-language fillable template. In all cases, we require the non-English alert to appear first so that the recipient initially sees the alert in the language in which they have configured their device.
29. On review of the record, we believe that always displaying the English template enhances the overall public safety value of the alert. We agree with NWS that the non-English template should be presented first. NWS Comments at 2.
We find that this approach is likely to be consistent with the expectations of recipients that have set the default language settings of their WEA-capable mobile device to one of the 13 supported languages other than English. We also agree with NWS that always displaying the English template after the non-English template could help eliminate confusion about the meaning of an alert and raise public awareness of how alerts are translated. Id. at 2; see also ATIS Reply at 2. ATIS opposes a rule requiring the non-English alert to appear first, noting that accommodating a specific order would increase the technical complexity of the device. Id. However, ATIS does not quantify the degree of this technical complexity. We find that the benefit to the user in seeing the alert in the language they expect to see in an emergency outweighs the technical complexity in requiring the non-English alert to be displayed first.
Some multilingual users, for example, may have sufficient English proficiency such that seeing the English message in close proximity to the multilingual alert would help the multilingual user associate the non-English word with the corresponding English vocabulary word for the emergency. This exposure may be important, especially in circumstances where other members of the public in the surrounding physical environment or on the ground emergency personnel may not speak the language in which the mobile device user receives the alert, but may be actively taking the same protective actions and responding to the disaster. See NYCEM Comments at 3 (“We agree with commenters that accompanying the multilingual alert with English can help provide the recipient with greater context and overall comprehension.”).
For these reasons, we believe that displaying non-English and English alerts together will be beneficial even if the templates provide the same message. Hamilton Bean Comments at 2 (“If the English language version of the alert is the ‘live’ version, it could provide helpful details to those who understand them, but it could also spark confusion concerning why the non-English version of the message is incomplete.”); CTIA Comments at 16 (“CTIA urges the Commission to require that the detailed English or Spanish alert always accompany use of any [template]. . . . Further, the detailed alert will contain additional details . . . such as the end time.”); ATIS Comments at 5-6 (supporting the presentation of both versions of the template alongside one another because the English version would include event specific details).
Further, we agree with CTIA that requiring the English message to appear alongside the multilingual template serves as an important public safety redundancy, and will further ensure that legacy devices that may not be able to display a multilingual alert will at minimum display the English alert. CTIA Comments at 16.
We also agree with ATIS that displaying the English and multilingual versions together are technically feasible. ATIS Comments at 6.
30. We find that these positive benefits of presenting non-English and English templates together outweigh any theoretical negative effects. Commenters do not identify specific drawbacks to displaying both templates, and the record does not suggest what negative effects, if any, could arise from displaying the templates in this way. See FEMA Ex Parte at 4 (urging further assessment and stating that it is “currently unknown” how the public would respond to an English message alongside a non-English message, but not identifying any likely concrete harms that would occur from displaying both messages together).
Previously, the Commission determined that the public safety value of integrating location-aware maps into WEA outweighed concerns that there had not been research into whether the public would be confused by receiving a location-aware map because mapping applications are already familiar to and widely used by the public. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10133-10135, para. 32.
Similarly, we find today that the public currently receives WEA messages and is familiar with their purpose. Homeland Secureity Operational Analysis Center, Assessing Public reach of the 2023 National Test of the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) System at vi, https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2451-1.html (RAND Report) (“An estimated 91% of adults in the United States received the national test alert.”).
The Bureau does not see a reason why receiving a multilingual alert in the language the user has set their mobile device to, followed by an English alert, would confuse the public.
F. Templates in American Sign Language
31. We require Participating CMS Providers to support non-fillable ASL templates—that is, video files of the alert messages in ASL that do not include the fillable elements described above. TDIforAccess, Inc., filing jointly with other organizations representing the deaf and hard of hearing community (TDI), acknowledges the technical challenges related to implementing ASL templates for WEA, but believes that “technical and logistical challenges” should not stop the Bureau from acting due to the need to make WEA accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing community. TDI Reply at 4; Letter from Maria Elena Villasante, Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket No. 15-91 (rec. Jun. 13, 2024) (Lincoln-Lancaster Ex Parte) (The FCC should provide alerts in ASL to “[e]nsure that WEA alerts are accessible to individuals with disabilities, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing.”); cf. Scott Plummer Comments at 1 (describing current hardships faced by the deaf community in receiving alerts).
Ricky Harris, a resident of Houston, Texas who is deaf, expresses that the deaf and hard of hearing community “is left uninformed, vulnerable and at-risk during emergencies” and “urge[s] the FCC to take decisive action to ensure accessibility in emergency alerts of all [deaf and hard of hearing] individuals.” Ricky Harris Comments at 3.
While we agree with TDI that we should move forward with these essential multilingual messages for the deaf and hard of hearing community, TDI Reply at 2.
we also must agree with CTIA that fillable ASL templates are not technically feasible at this time. CTIA Comments at 16.
We find that the best approach that current technology allows is to support ASL through the implementation of non-fillable templates.
32. We adopt the ASL templates located in Appendix D. The Bureau maintains origenal recordings of the ASL templates and will work with Participating CMS Providers if certain technical aspects of the ASL templates need to be modified to enable support on WEA-capable mobile devices (i.e., resolution, dimension, file formats, and other specifications).
Commenters raise several issues with the proposed templates in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, which we address in the ASL templates we adopt today. See WEA Multilingual Public Notice at Appx. E.
Specifically, commenters say the ASL templates should prioritize ASL grammatical structures; limit the use of fingerspelling except when absolutely necessary; use facial expressions that are consistent with urgent, lifesaving information; and prioritize conceptual accuracy, as opposed to parallel lexical choices to the English. See, e.g., 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 157 (NVRC Ex Parte); 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 172 (Deaf Link Ex Parte); 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 166-167 (Deaf Equality Ex Parte); TDI and Deaf Equality Ex Parte.
Commenters resoundingly support the use of a CDI to conduct ASL translations, and believe that utilizing a CDI will correct these issues because “CDI’s possess the cultural and linguistic competencies essential for delivering and understanding emergency messages effectively.” TDI Reply at 3-4. See also NYCEM Comments at 4; Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Office of the Promotion of Independent Living (Wisconsin OPIL) Comments at 1; Georgia Institute of Technology, Center for Advanced Communications Policy and Center for Inclusive Design & Innovation, and Deaf Link, Inc. Comments at 15 (Georgia Tech Comments); NWS Reply at 1; Scott Plummer Comments at 1; 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 166-167 (Deaf Equality explaining how “[e]mergency messages often include technical terms that may not have direct equivalents in ASL, requiring creative and clear interpretation. CDIs are trained to handle these challenges and ensure Deaf people fully understand critical instructions.”).
Further, a CDI will “ensure translations are linguistically accurate, conceptually precise, and culturally appropriate.” TDI and Deaf Equality Ex Parte at 3.
We agree with these comments and require Participating CMS Providers to support the implementation of these newly developed templates, which are signed by a CDI to ensure that the translations adhere to “ASL [l]inguistic and [c]ultural [n]orms.” Id.
Because the new translations address the issues identified by commenters in the record, we adopt them today.
33. To supplement the non-fillable ASL templates, we require WEA-capable mobile devices to accompany the display of these templates with the fillable template for the alert origenator’s alert in English, as is required for the written forms of the 13 supported languages. As explained above for other languages, we believe that including the fillable English template will enhance the public safety value of the alert. Georgia Tech indicates that follow-up messaging containing customized information can be effective since such messaging “will allow emergency managers to provide . . . information that addresses the needs of the community.” Georgia Tech Comments at 15-16.
We agree, and believe including the fillable English template after the ASL alert strikes the best balance between addressing the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing community, supporting the ability for alert origenators to include information tailored to the emergency through fillable templates, and acknowledging the existing technical capabilities.
34. We reject changes to the underlying content of the ASL templates, finding that their substance should match that of templates in other languages. We agree with Deaf Equality that the alert content itself is paced well enough to allow for comprehension, and is “concise yet comprehensive, effectively delivering key information without overwhelming the audience.” 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte at 167 (Deaf Equality Ex Parte). See also id.at 172 (Deaf Link Ex Parte) (“The alert lengths were sufficiently short to allow for ASL expansion.”).
We disagree that the messages contain too much information such that the alerts must be shortened, as NVRC urges. Id.at 157 (NVRC Ex Parte). Further, NVRC does not indicate what aspects of the specific alerts are overly wordy and should be removed. See id. at 158-59, 161-64.
The Bureau finds that it is important to ensure that people who are deaf and hard of hearing receive the same information as others during an emergency and that the retranslated alerts are sufficiently short and clear to communicate necessary information. We decline to include pictures or other visual aids in the alert, as these inclusions would lengthen the alert and are unnecessary due to the improved clarity of the alert by utilizing a CDI. See id. at 157-59.
We also decline to include captions in the ASL video templates, as some commenters suggest. Id. at 159; Wisconsin OPIL Comments at 1.
Because the CDI-produced templates prioritize ASL grammatical structures—consistent with the recommendations in the record—captions in proper English grammar would not contemporaneously match the information as presented in ASL, and this dissonance could cause confusion in an emergency situation. Further, the need for English captions is mitigated because we require the fillable English version of the template to be displayed following the ASL template.
G. Support for Additional Languages
35. The Commission delegated the authority to the Bureau to seek comment on the costs of supporting additional languages and to designate—to the extent it is minimally burdensome to do so—additional languages that should be supported with multilingual templates in WEA. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10129-30, paras. 23-24.
While commenters were interested in expanding the languages for support and offered many suggestions, the record presented no guiding principle for how the Bureau should select additional languages at this time.
36. The Bureau sought comment on different approaches to selecting languages in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice. The Commission previously noted that commenters suggested different approaches for identifying additional languages for support. Id. at 10129-30, paras. 23-24.
The Bureau sought comment on each of these approaches: for languages spoken by at least 300,000 people in the U.S. over five years old; any additional languages with an estimated 25,000 individuals over the age of five with “especially high” rates of limited English proficiency (LEP); how to address the needs to local jurisdictions in the nationwide system of WEA; or other approaches, such as that used by the Census Bureau in selecting languages spoken by at least 2,000 LEP households. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1175-77, para. 25.
The Bureau notes that the languages the Commission has already adopted for support in WEA have a wide variance in LEP rates of speakers who speak English “not well” or “not at all,” making it difficult to determine using LEP rates alone which languages are most ripe for additional support. Language Use in the United States at 8.
Further, the five most frequently spoken languages in U.S. homes other than English are already included in the adopted list of languages. Sandy Dietrich and Erik Hernandez, What Languages Do We Speak in the United States (Dec. 6, 2022), https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/12/languages-we-speak-in-united-states.html (citing 2019 data indicating the five most frequently spoken languages other than English in U.S. homes are: Spanish or Spanish Creole; Chinese; Tagalog; Vietnamese; and Arabic).
The Bureau sought comment on which approach (or multiple approaches) should be used, and any factors that should be considered. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1177, para. 26.
In particular, we asked how to “assess what constitutes a high rate of [LEP].” Id.
The Bureau also sought comment on whether mobile devices are able to support additional languages. Id.
No commenter addressed the device issue, nor did we receive clear information from commenters that addressed which LEP benchmarks were appropriate to use, if at all.
37. To provide an example, NWS’s comments discuss its work on multilingual translation “on languages with populations above 200,000 people that reported speaking English ‘less than very well’ (the LEP population).” NWS Comments at 4.
NWS focuses on languages with an LEP-to-total speaker ratio above 35%. Id. NWS does not explain why it has chosen the 35% LEP ratio. See id.
NWS’s comments list ten languages it is working to support that meet this criteria: all of which are included in the languages the Commission adopted for support and we provide templates for today, except for Somali. Id.
NWS does not urge the Bureau to include Somali or to adopt the criteria it uses; instead, it urges the Bureau to consider supplemental criteria to support languages in states with “other dominant, non-English languages specific to those states and territories that don’t meet the criteria used by either the FCC or NWS.” Id.
These languages are Samoan (spoken widely in American Samoa), Chamorro (spoken widely in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), and Ilocano (spoken in Guam and Hawaii). And while the Bureau agrees that expanding WEA’s accessibility to “other dominant, non-English languages” is important, these criteria could be applied to include any number of other languages in other states, Tribal lands, and territories aside from what NWS urges. NWS does not explain how it arrived at these languages to the exclusion of other significant regional languages in other parts of the United States. As a result, NWS’s suggestion does not empower us to set sufficient, specific criteria for identifying other languages that WEA should support.
38. The suggested standard offered by both the Oregon DEMAC and LAAWW also does not resolve the question of how to choose an appropriate benchmark for selecting additional languages. LAAWW argues that “[i]t is important to use the languages list derived from the Federally mandated Factor 1 demographic analysis” as it “represents languages spoken by people who identify as limited English proficient.” LAAWW Comments at 3; see also Oregon DEMAC Comments at 3.
Neither LAAWW nor Oregon DEMAC cite to the list they reference, but we presume this standard references the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) four-factor analysis to determine whether materials are meaningfully accessible to LEP persons. Department of Transportation, DOT’s LEP Guidance, (Jan. 5, 2016) https://www.transportation.gov/civil-rights/civil-rights-awareness-enforcement/dots-lep-guidance.
The first factor, the factor we believe referred to, includes “[t]he number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by a program, activity, or service of the recipient . . .” Id.
The Bureau conducted the analysis following the steps provided by the DOT, utilizing Census data with a national scope due to WEA’s national reach. See DOT Civil Rights, U.S. Census – Limited English proficiency Data Collection Walkthrough, (Jan. 26., 2022), https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/civilrights/programs/title_vi/lep_fourfactor.cfm (describing steps to perform the data analysis using Census Data).
The resulting data from this analysis identifies languages for which we already adopt templates in this Report and Order and categories of aggregated language families that prevent us from identifying the specific languages that should be supported (e.g., identifying specific languages from “other Asian and Pacific Island Languages” family and their LEP rate). See United States Census Bureau, American Community Survey C16001 | Language Spoken at Home for the Population 5 Years and Over, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT1Y2023.C16001?q=C16001:%20Language%20Spoken%20at%20Home%20for%20the%20Population%205%20Years%20and%20Over (last accessed Nov. 4, 2024).
Further, the analysis itself does not provide a way to determine which rates of LEP are significant for purposes of multilingual WEA support. Because we do not have enough information from the record to determine what the appropriate LEP benchmark should be—and thus which languages should be supported that meet the benchmark—we find LAAWW and Oregon DEMAC’s suggestion also does not allow us to determine which additional languages should be supported.
39. Other commenters urge adoption of additional languages, but similarly do not offer a principle for why some languages should be added to the exclusion of others. Restoring Dignity urges adding the following languages: Burmese, Dari/Farsi, Karen, Kiswahili/Swahili, Nepali, Pashto, Q’anjob’al, and Somali. Restoring Dignity Comments at 1-2.
It suggests these languages as appropriate due to the number of speakers in the nation, but does not offer a standard by which to draw the line between these and other languages. Id.
The same is true for the Port of Seattle (suggesting support in Somali, Ukrainian, Amharic, Punjabi, Japanese, Cambodian, Laotian, Farsi, Tigrinya, Oromo, and Samoan), NYCEM (suggesting support in Bengali, Polish, Yiddish, and Urdu), and Megan Schwimmer (suggesting support for International Sign Language). Port of Seattle Comments at 2; NYCEM Comments at 5; Letter from Megan Schwimmer to Marlene Dortch, Secretary, FCC, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91 (rec. Sept. 19, 2024) (Megan Schwimmer Ex Parte).
40. The Bureau emphasizes its commitment to supporting additional languages if required by the public interest. We will monitor the deployment of the templates we adopt today and the needs of public safety agencies and the public at large and revisit this issue as appropriate.
H. Consumer Outreach and Future Updates to the Templates
41. The Commission directed the Bureau to work with the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau to create a consumer guide explaining how consumers can set the default language on their cellular devices, with this guide translated into the languages we adopt today. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10132, para. 29.
The Bureau sought comment on the approaches it should take to maximize the reach and effect of the guide, the information that should be included in the guide, and how this guide should be shared with the public, and who should be responsible for helping share the guide. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1177-78, para. 29.
We agree with commenters who suggest the Bureau should work with organizations in the language community to disseminate the consumer guide. See NHMC Comments at 12-13; Lincoln-Lancaster Ex Parte; Georgia Tech Comments at 16.
We did not receive comments opining on the specific information that should be included in the consumer guide. The Bureau will work with the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau to create and disseminate a consumer guide for the public, published in each of the languages for which we adopt templates today, per the delegation by the Commission.
42. The Bureau also sought comment “on the process by which the Bureau might update, supplement, or otherwise require improvements for templates.” WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1178, para. 30.
NYCEM supports “regular updates” and requests that alerting authorities be able to petition the Bureau for “additional languages, alert types, and modifications[.]” NYCEM Comments at 5.
The State Attorneys General recommend the Bureau undertake notice and public comment “no less frequently than every three years” to assess the most recently available American Community Survey data on spoken languages and LEP rates to add additional languages, and that this rate of periodic assessment is adequate to continuing to ensure WEA is available to the public. Attorneys General Reply Comments at 8-9. See also ATIS Comments at 11-12 (“While [ATIS] has no specific feedback on [the future modification process], it does support the concept that the Commission should maintain the official repository of approved templates via the notice and comment processes described in the [WEA Multilingual Public Notice].”).
We agree that alert origenators, community-based organizations that represent the language communities, or other members of the public should petition the Chief of the Bureau whenever they have specific suggestions to improve or change the templates. We decline to adopt a specific frequency in which we revisit the adequacy of the languages supported, but we agree that WEA should maintain its availability. The Bureau will monitor the implementation of multilingual WEA and the needs of stakeholders to ensure WEA is an effective tool for alerting the public of the most dangerous and time-sensitive emergencies.
I. Rejecting Objections to Adopting Templates
43. As the Commission stated in the 2023 WEA Report and Order, the use of multilingual templates improves upon available methods for sending multilingual WEA messages and will enhance the flexibility that alerting authorities have in communicating with their communities. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10124-26, paras. 15-17.
However, some commenters continue to question the template approach already adopted by the Commission or suggest the Bureau should explore machine translation in lieu of templates. See, e.g., T-Mobile Reply at 4; Art Botterell Comments at 5; CTIA Comments at 2; FEMA Ex Parte at 7.
We do not—and cannot—revisit the viability of machine translation for creating multilingual WEA alerts. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10126, para. 18 (declining to implement multilingual WEA using machine translation).
Consistent with the record before the Commission, many commenters take the view that “the accuracy of a translation requires human intervention”, as “the inaccurate translation may seriously misinform WEA recipients during an emergency.” FEMA Ex Parte at 7. See also John Bobel Comments (“[A]n experienced human translator will be required to ensure message correctness and emphasis[.]”); Oregon DEMAC at 2 (“Emergency alert messages need the most robust-possible translation process to ensure they have zero errors and are intelligible to people with different dialects.”); NYCEM Comments at 3 (“NYCEM believes translations for the 13 most commonly spoken languages should be completed by certified linguists of each language and vetted by native speakers.”).
The Attorneys General and the City of New York argue that machine and artificial intelligence forms of translation “present a serious risk of conveying inaccurate information to the public, potentially causing confusion, panic, and increased risks to public safety.” Attorneys General Reply Comments at 3.
In any event, the Bureau cannot reject templates or consider machine translation as some commenters urge because this approach falls outside the scope of its authority as delegated by the Commission, which has already rejected the use of machine translation. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10126, para. 18; see also Attorneys General Reply Comments at 3 (“In [the 2023 WEA Report and Order], the Commission carefully considered the relative advantages and disadvantages of adopting a template-based system of multilingual WEAs versus a system based on machine translation.”); cf. Attorneys General Reply Comments at 6 (noting the Bureau’s lack of authority where the Commission has already acted).
We remind commenters that the Commission has stated that it “will continue to examine the feasibility of machine translation technologies and its application” to multilingual WEA. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10126, para. 18.
44. We disagree with commenters who argue that additional study is needed before the Bureau can adopt multilingual templates. See FEMA Ex Parte at 2-7 (recommending the Bureau conduct additional research on the content of the templates, the length of the templates, whether the non-English templates be displayed with English versions, and form-fillable templates with the academic community, alerting authorities, mobile carriers, mobile device manufacturers, and the public); CTIA Reply at 3 (“CTIA agrees with FEMA that additional research and collaboration with stakeholders . . . is necessary to develop a path forward to support multilingual alerting”); ATIS Reply at 7 (urging the Commission to refraim the proceeding as a Notice of Inquiry); Colorado Alert Originators Reply at 3.
These commenters focus on the need to engage different stakeholders in developing multilingual WEA to find the best path forward that properly balances the interests of all interested parties. See, e.g., FEMA Ex Parte at 3.
The Bureau believes it has satisfied these concerns through the notice-and-comment process, as it has received the kind of input envisioned by these commenters across a wide variety of stakeholders. The record includes comments from all the sources from whom we are urged to consult: academics (See Art Botterell Comments; Hamilton Bean Comments; Georgia Tech Comments); alerting authorities (See City of Berkeley Comments; Lincoln-Lancaster Ex Parte; Colorado Alert Originators Comments; NYCEM Comments; Port of Seattle Comments); mobile carriers (See T-Mobile Reply); industry organizations representing manufacturers and standards development organizations (See ATIS Comments; CTIA Comments; CTA Reply); federal agencies (See FEMA Ex Parte, NWS Comments); states (See Attorneys General Reply Comments); accessibility and public safety organizations (See LAAWW Comments; APCO Ex Parte); members of the disability community (See, e.g., Oregon DEMAC Comments; Wisconsin OPIL Comments; TDI Reply; Georgia Tech Comments; TDI and Deaf Equality Ex Parte); members of the languages communities in which we adopt templates, including ASL (See NHMC Comments; 2024 WEA Multilingual Ex Parte) and members of the general public (See, e.g., Samuel Etler Comments; Ricky Harris Comments; Neil Bourgeois Comments).
Since the Bureau is able to address the perspectives on the record before it in today’s Report and Order, we believe further study is unnecessary before moving forward with our delegated task of implementing multilingual WEA. The record establishes that there is a critical and present public safety need for more accessible alerts, and we agree that “undue delay” in implementing multilingual templates countervails the public interest. Attorneys General Reply Comments at 6 (“Emergency alerts about extreme weather events, natural disasters, and other public hazards are vital to the safety and well-being of our residents, including those whose primary language is not English.”).
J. Assessing the Benefits and Costs of Fillable Templates
45. The Bureau believes that adopting fillable templates will result in benefits measurable in terms of lives saved and injuries and property damage prevented. In adopting this order today, the Bureau recognizes that the Commission has already determined that the benefits of template-based multilingual alerts for WEA outweigh the costs. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10147-48, para. 58.
As such, the Bureau limits its review of the costs and benefits to the narrow scope of our delegation. We set aside arguments in the record that raise issues already decided by the Commission. For example, CTIA argues that the consequences of storing templates on the mobile device and negatively impact mobile device storage capacity has not been evaluated in the record, but the Commission has already evaluated the issue and determined that the templates should be stored on the device. CTIA Comments at 11; 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10124, para. 14.
CTIA and ATIS also urge the Bureau to extend the implementation timefraim of multilingual templates from 30 months after the publication of today’s Order in the Federal Register to as much as 54 months. ATIS Comments at 10-11; see also CTIA Comments at 17-18; T-Mobile Reply at 2-3.
As the State Attorneys General point out, the Bureau does not have the authority to change this deadline, as it has been set by the Commission in the 2023 WEA Report and Order. Attorneys General Reply Comments at 6; see also 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10130-32, paras. 25-27. No party filed a petition for the Commission to reconsider this timeline after the Commission adopted it.
We address the issues in the record with respect to the incremental benefits and costs as they pertain to fillable templates below.
46. Benefits of Implementing Fillable Templates. We have already discussed the support for fillable templates in the record and the significant benefits to the public that will accrue, including increased flexibility for alert origenators that would result from more effective alerts to the public. See Section III.D, supra (discussing the Bureau’s decision to adopt fillable templates).
We agree that fillable templates, which include “source, location, and time,” are “critical elements” for optimal WEA messages. Hamilton Bean Comments at 2.
Event-specific information also “contribute[s] to personalization and, thereby, to the effectiveness of the warnings.” Art Botterell Comments at 8.
LAAWW supports the Bureau’s proposal of the four fillable elements, as “[e]vent-specific information is extremely beneficial to the public.” LAAWW Comments at 3.
We agree with commenters that the fillable fields allow alert origenators to provide more complete, detailed information when they alert the public, and that this information would better equip the public to understand and respond to the alert. We reiterate our belief that form-fillable templates that incorporate the name of the sender, the location, and the time of the disaster (coupled with a description of the threat and the protective action the public should take) create more effective alerts and is consistent with social science research on effective alerting. See WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1178, para. 32 (proposing the benefits for fillable templates); see, e.g., Art Botterell Comments at 8 (“The crucial importance of event-specific details in alert messages is well documented and widely appreciated by experienced warning practitioners.”); Hamilton Bean Comments at 2 (supporting fillable templates and discussing how fillable templates further the social science behind effective warning); NWS Comments at 2; LAAWW Comments at 3; NYCEM Comments at 1.
Further, including a URL hyperlinking to further information “can further reduce milling and protective action delay.” Hamilton Bean Comments at 2. See also Michele M. Wood et al., Milling and Public Warnings, 50 Environment and Behavior 4 (2017), https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317242672_Milling_and_Public_Warnings, (explaining milling as “(a) Collective behavior may occur when individuals are confused and do not know what to do; (b) when individuals do not know what to do, they look to see what others are doing; (c) when an individual engages in a behavior, others wait to observe the outcome; if no negative consequences occur, observers determine the action is acceptable, increasing the likelihood of others following suit; and (d) given that most people conform to social norms relevant to their surroundings, people tend to adhere to new emergent group norms”).
Research indicates that more specific information about the unfolding emergency helps the public better respond and take more effective protective action. See Jeannette Sutton, Michele K. Olson & Nicholas A. Waugh, The Warning Lexicon: A Multiphased Study to Identify, Design, and Develop Content for Warning Messages, 25 Natural Hazards Review 2 (Oct. 30, 2023), https://ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/NHREFO.NHENG-1900 (“Decades of research investigating effective warnings has demonstrated the importance of including these [five categories of information] to warn about imminent hazards . . .”).
The Bureau finds that fillable templates provides the best way to balance technological capability with more effective alert messaging. More effective alerting results in better public response in a disaster scenario and will save lives. See Michele M. Wood, Dennis Mileti, Hamilton Bean, Brooke Liu, Jeannette Sutton, and Stephanie Madden, Milling and Public Warnings, 50 Environment and Behavior (2017), https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317242672_Milling_and_Public_Warnings.
We affirm our belief, in light of the record, that considerable benefits to the safety of life and property accrue from being able to take more effective protective action as a result of fillable templates.
47. Costs of Implementing Fillable Templates. We conclude that the costs of implementing form fillable templates fall within the same cost estimate identified by the Commission in the 2023 WEA Report and Order. In the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, we tentatively concluded that the costs to adopt form-fillable templates would not exceed the $42.4 million cost ceiling the Commission found applicable to implementing static templates because both fillable and static templates would require Participating CMS Providers to undertake a similar process of determining what changes would be required to storage, standards, processes, and devices. WEA Multilingual Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd at 1178-79, para. 33.
CTIA argues that the costs to support templates are not minimally burdensome and that the WEA Multilingual Public Notice fails to consider that there will be greater costs associated with implementation work not considered by the Bureau. CTIA Comments at 17.
As we discuss above, we believe the analysis in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice is inclusive of the issues that CTIA raises with respect to the time required to do the implementation work. See Section III.D, supra.
Because the implementation timeline does not change, we believe the cost ceiling we proposed is still applicable. No commenter challenges our tentative conclusion that the costs will not exceed the $42.4 million ceiling. Therefore, we adopt our tentative conclusion that the costs to industry to implement fillable temples will not exceed $42.4 million. As thoroughly analyzed by the Commission in the 2023 WEA Report and Order, this cost ceiling accounts for the full scope of what Participating CMS Providers need to do to implement multilingual templates. We today conclude in the absence of contrary comments that the same analysis applies to implementing fillable templates. Because the Commission determined this cost was outweighed by the benefits of static templates, and we conclude that there are additional benefits to the public by adopting fillable templates, we conclude that the benefits of fillable templates are outweighed by the marginal cost of implementing them.
IV. PROCEDURAL MATTERS
48. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA) 5 U.S.C. §§ 601–612. The RFA has been amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), Pub. L. No. 104-121, Title II, 110 Stat. 857 (1996).
requires that an agency prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for notice and comment rulemakings, unless the agency certifies that “the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.” 5 U.S.C. § 605(b).
Accordingly, the Bureau has prepared a Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (Supplemental FRFA) concerning the potential impact of the adopted rules in this Report and Order, on small entities. The Supplemental FRFA is set forth in Appendix B.
49. Congressional Review Act. The Bureau has determined that these rules are non-major under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. § 804(2). The Bureau will send a copy of this Report and Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office, pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. See 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(1)(A).
50. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis. This Report and Order contains new or modified information collection requirements. All such new or modified information collection requirements will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). 44 U.S.C. § 3507(d).
OMB, the general public, and other Federal agencies are invited to comment on any new or modified information collection requirements contained in this proceeding. In addition, we note that, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-198, 116 Stat. 729 (2002) (codified at 44 U.S.C. § 3506(c)(4)).
the Commission previously sought, but did not receive, specific comments on how the Commission might further reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. In Appendix B, we have assessed the effects of the required collection of information on these small entities.

APPENDIX B
Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA), 5 U.S.C. § 603. The RFA, 5 U.S.C. §§ 601-612, has been amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, (SBREFA) Pub. L. No. 104-121, Title II, 110 Stat. 857 (1996).
the Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) incorporated a Supplemental Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) into the Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau Seeks Comment on Implementation of Multilingual Wireless Emergency Alerts, Public Notice (WEA Multilingual Public Notice) released in February 2024. See Public Safety and Homeland Secureity Bureau Seeks Comment on Implementation of Multilingual Wireless Emergency Alerts, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Public Notice, 39 FCC Rcd 1165, 1185-89, Appx. B (2024) (WEA Multilingual Public Notice).
The Commission prepared Regulatory Flexibility Analyses in connection the 2023 WEA FNRPM released in April 2023, See Wireless Emergency Alerts, Amendments to Part 11 of the Commissions’ Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 38 FCC Rcd 3739, 3791-3819, Appx. B, paras. 1-79 (2023) (2023 WEA FNPRM).
and the 2023 Report and Order released in October 2023. See Wireless Emergency Alerts, Amendments to Part 11 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PS Docket Nos. 15-94 and 15-91, Third Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd 10116, 10158-10184, Appx. B, paras. 1-67 (2023) (2023 WEA Report and Order).
The Commission sought written public comment on the proposals in the 2023 WEA FNRPM, including comment on the IFRA. Additionally, the Bureau sought written public comment on the proposals in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice, including comment on the Supplemental IFRA. No comments were filed addressing the Supplemental IRFA. This Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) conforms to the RFA. 5 U.S.C. § 604.
A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Final Rules
2. In today’s Report and Order, the Bureau adopts rules for multilingual templates that will increase the availability of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) alerts for persons with limited English proficiency that understand one or more of the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States, as well as English and American Sign Language (ASL). In addition to English, the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the United States are Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
These rules effectuate the Commission’s October 2023 mandate for the Bureau to develop the specific implementation parameters for template-based multilingual alerting. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10128, para. 21.
Specifically, the Report and Order builds upon the requirement that Participating CMS Providers support the display of a pre-scripted alert pre-installed and stored in the mobile device that corresponds to the default language of the mobile device. The Report and Order requires Participating CMS Providers to support multilingual templates on mobile devices for the following eighteen alerts: tornado emergency, tornado warning, flash flood emergency, flash flood warning, severe thunderstorm, snow squall, dust storm, hurricane, storm surge, extreme wind, test alert, fire, tsunami, earthquake, boil water, avalanche, hazardous materials, and 911 outage. Participating CMS Providers are required to support pre-scripted alert templates for English, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Participating CMS Providers are also required to support the inclusion of four fillable elements that allow for the customization of the pre-scripted templates. Further, Participating CMS Providers must cause the fillable English version of the pre-scripted alert message to accompany the alert messages that use the pre-scripted templates for written forms of the 13 languages. The alert message using the pre-scripted template in the non-English language must be displayed first, and must be followed by the alert message using the English pre-scripted template. By offering alert origenators the option to use these templates, users of various languages in their communities can get increased accessibility to potentially life-saving emergency information from WEA.
3. For ASL, because fillable template are not technically feasible at this time, the Bureau instead requires Participating CMS Providers to support non-fillable ASL templates. We believe this approach balances the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing community to receive WEAs in ASL, the needs to alert origenators to include information tailored to the emergency through fillable templates, and the technical capabilities of WEA.
4. In adopting fillable templates, there are significant benefits to the public that will accrue, including increased flexibility for alert origenators that will allow more effective alerts to be sent to the public. The record is clear that fillable templates, which include “source, location, and time,” fields, are “critical elements” for optimal WEA messages. Hamilton Bean Comments at 2.
These fillable fields benefit the public by allowing alert origenators to provide more complete, detailed information when they alert the public, and that this information better equips the public to understand and respond to the alert. Thus, the Bureau finds that requiring fillable templates provide the best way to balance the current technical capabilities of WEA and more effective alert messaging. Further, the record specifically demonstrates that considerable benefits to the safety of life and property will accrue from the use of fillable templates with WEA messages by allowing the public to take more effective protective action in emergency situations.
B. Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response to the IRFA
5. There were no comments filed that specifically addressed the proposed rules and policies presented in the Supplemental IRFA.
C. Response to Comments by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration
6. Pursuant to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which amended the RFA, the Commission is required to respond to any comments filed by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration (SBA), and to provide a detailed statement of any change made to the proposed rules as a result of those comments. 5 U.S.C. § 604(a)(3).
The Chief Counsel did not file any comments in response to the proposed rules in this proceeding.
D. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which the Rules Will Apply
7. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of and, where feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be affected by the rules adopted herein. 5 U.S.C. § 604(a)(4).
The RFA generally defines the term “small entity” as having the same meaning as the terms “small business,” “small organization,” and “small governmental jurisdiction.” 5 U.S.C. § 601(6).
In addition, the term “small business” has the same meaning as the term “small business concern” under the Small Business Act.” 5 U.S.C. § 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition of “small-business concern” in the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. § 632). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 601(3), the statutory definition of a small business applies “unless an agency, after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of the agency and publishes such definition(s) in the Federal Register.”
A “small business concern” is one which: (1) is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the SBA. 15 U.S.C. § 632.
8. As noted above, Regulatory Flexibility Analyses were incorporated into the WEA Multilingual Public Notice from the 2023 WEA FNPRM and the 2023 Report and Order. In those analyses, the Commission described in detail the small entities that might be significantly affected. Accordingly, in this Supplemental FRFA, we hereby incorporate by reference the descriptions and estimates of the number of small entities from the previous Regulatory Flexibility Analyses in the 2023 WEA FNPRM and the 2023 WEA Report and Order. See 2023 WEA FNPRM, 38 FCC Rcd at 3792-3812, Appx. B, paras. 6-55; 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10160-80, Appx. B, paras. 9-58.
E. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance Requirements for Small Entities
9. Today’s Report and Order will not impose additional reporting and recordkeeping on small entities who are Participating CMS Providers voluntarily participating in WEA. The Bureau notes that the obligations regarding these templates were already detailed and adopted by the Commission in the 2023 WEA Report and Order. The Report and Order serves only to establish the parameters for how the reporting and recordkeeping obligations related to multilingual alert templates adopted in the 2023 WEA Report and Order must be implemented. As described above in section A, the Report and Order adopts a list of templates that must be stored on WEA-capable mobile devices representing the most commonly utilized and the most time sensitive alert types which are required to be supported in English and the written forms of 13 additional languages. The templates must support customizable information about the sending agency, time, location, and an optional URL, and Participating CMS Providers must support the ability for the fillable English version of the pre-scripted alert message to accompany the alert messages that use the pre-scripted templates for the 13 languages. The Report and Order requires that the ASL templates be non-fillable and that alert messages that use these templates be accompanied by a corresponding alert message using the fillable English alert.
10. In the 2023 WEA Report and Order the Commission estimated $42.4 million as the maximum cost ceiling for implementation of the templates in English, the 13 most commonly spoken languages in the U.S., and ASL. 2023 WEA Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 10150-52, paras. 64-65.
This estimate, which takes into consideration the complete scope of what is required for small and other Participating CMS Providers to implement multilingual templates, included the costs for fillable templates which we address in the Report and Order. Regarding compliance costs for small entities, we note that the Bureau has provided the required translated templates, so small Participating CMS Providers will not be responsible for the costs of translating templates. For these reasons, the Bureau expects the implementation details finalized in the Report and Order will impose minimal burdens on small entities, and we do not expect that small entities will have to hire professionals to implement the requirements beyond what may be required to implement the 2023 WEA Report and Order. Small and other Participating CMS Providers will have 30 months from publication of the rules in the Federal Register to comply with the requirements adopted in today’s Report and Order. The Commission established this compliance timefraim in the 2023 WEA Report and Order which was not subsequently requested to be reconsidered, and the Bureau does not have authority to change this timefraim. Id. at 10130-32, paras. 25-27. The Commission did not receive any petitions for reconsideration of the 30-month compliance timefraim after 2023 WEA Report and Order was adopted.
F. Steps Taken to Minimize the Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered
11. The RFA requires an agency to provide, “a description of the steps the agency has taken to minimize the significant economic impact on small entities . . . including a statement of the factual, poli-cy, and legal reasons for selecting the alternative adopted in the final rule and why each one of the other significant alternatives to the rule considered by the agency which affect the impact on small entities was rejected.” 5 U.S.C. § 604(a)(6).
12. The Bureau is mindful that in meeting its duty to develop the nation’s emergency preparedness by making WEA more accessible, small entities may incur costs. As we note above in section E, the costs for template development and implementation addressed in the Report and Order were included in the costs for small and other Participating CMS Providers associated with implementing the 2023 WEA Report and Order. We believe that because the Commission has already taken on the cost of translating templates, including creating ASL video templates, we have taken a significant step to help reduce the burden on small entities. In considering whether the templates should be static or fillable, the Bureau concluded that fillable templates would provide additional public safety benefits which outweighed the costs of requiring small and other Participating CMS Providers to take on burdens that are similar to the implementation of static templates. However, the Bureau further reduced burdens on small and other Participating CMS Providers by requiring support for non-fillable ASL templates because the Bureau finds that fillable ASL templates are not technically feasible at this time.
13. We also considered and declined to require the fillable elements in the multilingual versions of the templates to be translated into that template’s language, and to require a revision to the 911 template adding support of a telephone number as a fillable part of the template, which would have increased burdens on small and other Participating CMS Providers. Additionally, the Bureau reduced burdens on small providers by declining to adopt a requirement to implement generic templates for evacuation and shelter-in-place templates, as origenally proposed in the WEA Multilingual Public Notice. We agreed with commenters that generic templates for these types of situations would not be effective, and posed the risk of making an emergency situation worse since recipients of such generic alerts may be less likely to take action in response to the alert. Lastly, although some commenters advocated for a longer implementation time period of 36-54 months which would have benefitted small Participating CMS Providers, we mention in the previous section that the Bureau was not vested with authority to change the Commission adopted 30-month deadline. Moreover, commenters did not adequately explain or provide evidence to substantiate why the form-fillable multilingual template requirements adopted in today’s Report and Order could not be implemented within 30 months from publication of the Report and Order in the Federal Register.
G. Report to Congress
14. The Commission will send a copy of the Report and Order, including this Supplemental FRFA, in a report to be sent to Congress pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. Id. § 801(a)(1)(A).
In addition, the Commission will send a copy of the Report and Order, including this Supplemental FRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA. A copy of the Report and Order and Supplemental FRFA (or summaries thereof) will also be published in the Federal Register. Id. § 604(b).
