FCC Seeks Comment on ATIS Disaster Reporting Recon Petition

The FCC Public Safety Bureau sought comment on Wednesday on an ATIS petition for reconsideration of the agency’s January outage reporting order (see 2401250064). Comments are due June 24, replies July 5, in docket 24-341. ATIS sought clarification of the decision codifying the FCC practice of waiving network outage reporting system filings that would be due while the disaster information reporting system is activated. ATIS also sought clarification and reconsideration of the order’s requirements on submitting a final DIRS report. ATIS urged “reconsideration of the requirement that final reports include the estimated dates by which all issues will be resolved” given that “it may not be possible for providers to accurately determine such information within the 24-hour window provided.”
