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 Office of Homeland Security, Enforcement Bureau, or their State
   Emergency Communications Committee for information and guidance.
