Dave Minster tells me that Dave Siddall and Becky are workingon an article about the fees issue. Dave Minster can provide an update when hechecks in here. In the meantime, Directors might consider a Division emailusing Mr. Siddall’s information in ODV:32148 stating that the date for the feeshas not been established yet. I believe some Dirs and SM’s have already doneso. 73, Rick – K5UR -----Original Message----- From: AC0W Bill <ac0wmoo11@gmail.com> To: ARRL ODV List <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Fri, Mar 19, 2021 11:18 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:32155] Re: Amateur Fees Date NOT YET ESTABLISHED #yiv8605464063 #yiv8605464063 -- _filtered {} _filtered {} _filtered {}#yiv8605464063 #yiv8605464063 p.yiv8605464063MsoNormal, #yiv8605464063 li.yiv8605464063MsoNormal, #yiv8605464063 div.yiv8605464063MsoNormal {margin:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv8605464063 a:link, #yiv8605464063 span.yiv8605464063MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv8605464063 a:visited, #yiv8605464063 span.yiv8605464063MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv8605464063 p.yiv8605464063msonormal0, #yiv8605464063 li.yiv8605464063msonormal0, #yiv8605464063 div.yiv8605464063msonormal0 {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv8605464063 span.yiv8605464063EmailStyle19 {font-family:sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv8605464063 .yiv8605464063MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} _filtered {}#yiv8605464063 div.yiv8605464063WordSection1 {}#yiv8605464063 One of my SM’s reported he was told by the “ARRL VEC guy” (his words) in a phone call today the 19th was the date so has been put out messages stating the 19th is the date. Clearly a news release would be appropriate.

Are the fees for other services similarly delayed? For example, GMRS.

I want to note to everyone that although generally the rules take effect on April 19, collection of the amateur fees will NOT begin on that date. The effective date for new amateur radio fees has not yet been established. The FCC explicitly states in the published Notice (at p. 15061, para. 44, https://tinyurl.com/y52ff2zy) that the fees "will not take effect until the requisite notice has been provided to Congress, the FCC’s information technology systems and internal procedures have been updated, and the Commission publishes notice(s) in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of such rules." I expect that the effective date will be some time this summer, but in any event we will have advance notice. 73, Dave K3ZJ David R.
