§ 10.250   Notification to existing subscribers of non-participation in WEA.

   (a) A CMS provider that elects not to transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part
   or in whole, shall provide clear and conspicuous notice, which takes into
   account the needs of persons with disabilities, to existing subscribers of
   its non-election or partial election to provide Alert messages by means of
   an announcement amending the existing subscriber's service agreement.

   (b) For purposes of this section, a CMS provider that elects not to transmit
   WEA Alert Messages, in part or in whole, shall use the notification language
   set forth in § 10.240 (c) or (d) respectively, except that the last line of
   the notice shall reference FCC Rule 47 CFR 10.250, rather than FCC Rule 47
   CFR 10.240.

   (c) In the case of prepaid customers, if a mailing address is available, the
   CMS provider shall provide the required notification via U.S. mail. If no
   mailing address is available, the CMS provider shall use any reasonable
   method at its disposal to alert the customer to a change in the terms and
   conditions  of  service  and  directing  the subscriber to voice-based
   notification or to a Web site providing the required notification.
