01/01/2021 12:00 AM | Editor AARC (Administrator)

On December 23, 2020, FCC adopted the Report and Order for a new application fee schedule which includes Amateur Radio licensees. The initially suggested fee of $50 has been reduced. Per the Order, Paragraph 32, "We agree with commenters asserting this fee is too high to account for the minimal staff involvement in these applications and therefore adopt a reduced amount of $35 fee for all personal license application fees."

The effective date has not been decided yet, and is not official until published in the Federal Register.

The full Order can be seen here: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-184A1.pdf
See Appendix B for the Final Rules.
