[LARC-CQ] Update regarding comments on FCC docket 20-270 (possible license fees)

[wb4kzm]

Once it is published in the "Congressional Record" (probably 2 to 3 weeks away) comments will be opened, and can be posted through the FCC website.Certainly a fee will be assessed, but comments can be directed toward lowering the fee for amateur licenses. Look to ARRL leadership and our Section Manager, for guidance on officially commenting on the proposal.73JohnKU8Q Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S9+, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone

But who knows...government entities have changed their mind before lol73,Jimmy AB4KA Sent from ProtonMail Mobile On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 20:13, Matthew Stevens via CQ <cq at lists.lakelandarc.org> wrote:  Be aware, while comments could be useful, this largely has to do with changes to the laws on fees across all radio services (including commercial). Ray Baums act “ requires that the FCC switch from a Congressionally-mandated fee structure to a cost-based system of assessment.”So this is pretty much a legally required change, the way I’m reading it.- Matthew nj4ySent from my iPhoneOn Aug 31, 2020, at 19:41, Jimmy Russ via CQ <cq at lists.lakelandarc.org> wrote:It appears that FCC docket 20-270 regarding the possibility of $50 license fees isn't open for comments yet.
