EAS Test Reporting System (ETRS)
The ETRS is a system in which EAS Participants must file identifying information, day of test data, and post-test data related to a nationwide test. ETRS provides several new features that ease the data-entry burden on EAS Participants, encourage timely filings, and minimize input errors. The ETRS also offers new data fields that are responsive to stakeholder comments.
