*Subject:* FCC Proposes to Reinstate Amateur Radio Service Fees



Amateur radio licensees would pay a $50 fee for each amateur radio license
application if the FCC adopts rules it proposed this week. Included in the
FCC’s fee proposal are applications for new licenses, renewal and upgrades
to existing licenses, and vanity call sign requests. Excluded are
applications for administrative updates, such as changes of address, and
annual regulatory fees.

The FCC proposal is contained in a *Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* (*NPRM*
<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-116A1.pdf>) in MD Docket
20-270, which was adopted to implement portions of the “Repack Airwaves
Yielding Better Access for Users of Modern Services Act” of 2018 — the
so-called “*Ray Baum’s Act*
<https://www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ141/PLAW-115publ141.pdf>.”

The Act requires that the FCC switch from a Congressionally-mandated fee
structure to a cost-based system of assessment. In its *NPRM*, the FCC
proposed application fees for a broad range of services that use the FCC’s
Universal Licensing System (ULS), including the Amateur Radio Service that
had been excluded by an earlier statute. The new statute excludes the
Amateur Service from annual regulatory fees, but not from application fees.
