Experts in the webinar suggested many stations would need to assess and modify current system security practices and operational procedures before the rules take effect in September. This followed an earlier announcement on August 6, which invited participants to the webinar to discuss the FCC’s Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking focused on enhancing EAS security and operational resiliency.
