NPRM filing Instructions - Proposed application fees for Radio Amateurs

Larry Macionski All Messages By This Member #171 Comments are being accepted on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in MD Docket 20-270, which proposes application fees for radio amateurs. Formal deadlines for comments and reply comments will be determined once the NPRM appears in the Federal Register. Comments may be filed now, however, by using the FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System ( <> ECFS), posting to MD Docket No. 20-270. The docket is already open for accepting comments, even though deadlines have not yet been set. Here is the link to file your comments (copy and paste in your browser): ? ? ? ?In the first box type, "20-270", then select the "Amendment of the Schedule of Application Fees...." ? ? ? ?Then fill out the remainder and submit.? It won't immediately show up, it has to be reviewed first..mine showed up this morning. Here are the comments WB4OMM submitted an an example: "I strenuously implore the FCC to drop this fee initiative for Amateur Radio License Applications and Renewals. Amateur Radio Operators provide VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY SERVICES. VOLUNTEER Examiners, SKYWARN, ARES, RACES, and CERT are all VOLUNTARY groups and services. Even the title, "AMATEUR" denotes VOLUNTEER service (non-paid). I see this fee as a huge barrier to youth (Boy and Girl Scouts, High School, Elementary Students) at a minimum; I see it as a, "slap in the face" to folks who provide volunteer community services. If you need funding, raise the fees of the commercial license holders who profit from the license. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments." If you provide comments, make them your own...there are over 300 comments on the site against this NPRM as of today, but obviously the more the better. No nastiness, "just say no!".
