Today's Federal Register carries the FCC Order implementing the recommendations of its Independent Katrina Panel. The whole document is worth reading, but note especially the references to amateur radio in paragraph 5 (and the discussion in paragraph 6) and 104. Some of the other paragraphs worth noting are 25-29 (credentialing), 47 (Web link information), 95 (Lee McVey, W6EM petition), and 108-111 (volunteers who build ad hoc networks in emergencies are not exempt from CALEA).
