On August 5, 2024, the FCC released a Public Notice announcing that EAS Participants, which include cable operators, must submit their annual Form One for calendar year 2024 by no later than October 4, 2024.  Although the FCC often ties the deadline for filing the annual Form One to the occurrence of a nationwide EAS test, FEMA and FCC have not announced a national test this year. As a result, Form One must be filed independently to satisfy the annual filing obligation.
