ARRL to Gather Comments from Members on FCC's Public Notice

Dear ARRL Member,

On March 12, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a
Public Notice titled "In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete," seeking input from the
public on FCC rules that may be outdated, unnecessary, or in need of
modification. This inquiry is part of the FCC's ongoing effort to alleviate
regulatory burdens across various services, including the Amateur Radio
Service.


As part of this review, ARRL is conducting a thorough examination of the
provisions in Part 97 and related rules that affect amateur radio operators.
ARRL's written comments, which will be prepared by our FCC Counsel and the
ARRL Executive Committee, will include consideration of feedback we received
from members.


Members who want to share comments and concerns about this matter are urged
to share your feedback directly with ARRL. Please submit your comments by
March 31, 2025 and use the following feedback form:

http://www.arrl.org/fcc-public-notice-march-2025?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
]


ARRL will submit our official filing to the FCC by the April 11 deadline.
After that, there will be an opportunity for reply comments at the FCC until
April 28, and then later, opportunities for public comment on any rules the
FCC proposes to delete or modify.


While the FCC Public Notice is a broad inquiry that does not single out any
specific radio service, ARRL is nonetheless committed to protecting the
Amateur Radio Service, promoting its public interest goals, and ensuring your
right to access radio spectrum.


ARRL will continue to work on this matter, and we will inform members as more
news develops.


Thank you,

73

ARRL Executive Committee
