Sec. 11.47 Optional use of other communications methods and systems.
(a) Broadcast stations may additionally transmit EAS messages
through other communications means than the main audio channel. For
example, on a voluntary basis, FM stations may use subcarriers to
transmit the EAS codes including 57 kHz using the RBDS standard produced
by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and television stations
may use subsidiary communications services.
(b) Other technologies and public service providers, such as DBS,
low earth orbiting satellites, etc., that wish to participate in the EAS
may contact the FCC's EAS office or their State Emergency Communication
Committee for information and guidance.
