¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFWD by KR1ZAN This message is especially important for those who have taken exams or submitted FCC changes recently: Important Message from ARRL VEC? ======================================================================== FCC Batch Filing System (EBF) Restored On Tuesday, February 20, 2024, the FCC¡¯s Electronic Batch Filing (EBF) system was restored. All VEC organizations use that system for filing exam sessions, individual applications, and club license applications. ARRL VEC staff is working to ensure all backlogged sessions and application files are transmitted to the FCC before the system¡¯s normal shutdown?at 8 PM. So far, approximately 200 backlogged files were successfully submitted to and processed by the FCC. Hopefully, all files received at our office within the past week will be accepted and processed by the FCC within the next 24 hours. There have been a few lingering issues with the FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS) and EBF System. ???? A few exam sessions and applications did not process in the EBF system, and they had to be refiled. ???? Some applicants are reporting that they are not receiving the FCC payment email. As a reminder, applicants do not have to wait for the FCC email to pay the fee. As soon as the application is in the FCC system, the applicant can log into the FCC¡¯sCORES?system () and pay the fee. CORES payment system information can be found at. Additional information and instructions are located on the ARRL VEC¡¯s FCC Application Fee web page at?. ???? Other applicants are reporting that they are not receiving the automated email with the link to their new, upgraded, renewed, or modified license. The FCC instructions for obtaining the official authorization (official license) is located at?. ======================================================================== |
