§ 10.220   Withdrawal of election to participate in WEA.

   A CMS provider that elects to transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or in
   whole, may withdraw its election without regulatory penalty or forfeiture if
   it notifies all affected subscribers as well as the Federal Communications
   Commission at least sixty (60) days prior to the withdrawal of its election.
   In the event that a carrier withdraws from its election to transmit WEA
   Alert  Messages,  the  carrier  must  notify  each affected subscriber
   individually in clear and conspicuous language citing the statute. Such
   notice must promptly inform the customer that he or she no longer could
   expect to receive alerts and of his or her right to terminate service as a
   result,  without  penalty  or  early termination fee. Such notice must
   facilitate  the  ability  of  a  customer to automatically respond and
   immediately discontinue service.
