EAS SUBSIDY RATES RENEGOTIATED QUESTION: How often does the Department renegotiate subsidy rates with the carriers providing the service?
We generally establish two-year contracts. This allows for the competitive bidding process to keep subsidy costs in check and to give communities and the Department opportunities to switch carriers if appropriate. By design, the contracts for carriers to provide EAS across the nation expire on a staggered basis throughout the year. Thus the Department is continually establishing subsidy rates for new, two-year contracts.
