[arrl-odv:27273] Status report for ARRL OO Program and new MOU with FCC
On May 15, Chris Imlay, Barry Shelly and I met with the Chief of FCC Enforcement Bureau Rosemary Harold and her deputies concerning the FCC’s progress in working out a new MOU with the ARRL regarding amateur enforcement cases reported by the OO’s. Recall that the FCC had invited the ARRL last year to revamp it’s OO program so that the FCC could issue first instance warning letters based on carefully vetted OO reports. Chris gave a summary of our activities to date and asked that the Enforcement Bureau please have it’s edits and comments back to ARRL so that we could discuss, and hopefully adopt, the new program at our July Board meeting. Rosemary committed to doing that. Near the end of May I met individually with Laura Smith of the Enforcement Bureau’s Gettysburg office, from which amateur enforcement originates. Dan Henderson also met individually with Laura on Friday June 1. Laura stated that the Enforcement Bureau is issuing 3 enforcement actions in the Amateur Service within the next 30 days. The FCC characterizes these actions as “major” and assures us that immediately after their issuance the ARRL would have the final FCC version of the MOU for consideration at our July board meeting.

Great news about the enforcement actions, Riley. I hope that we can give them a high level of visibility using our media in order to create the highest level of deterrence that we can from the multiple actions. Well-done. Right guy for this job, you are. (sorry that sounds like Yoda). 73, Chris W3KD On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 6:15 PM, RILEY HOLLINGSWORTH < rilepatholling@comcast.net> wrote:
