The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff has clarified in response to an ARRL request that the new $35 application fee will not apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade anamateur radio licensee’s operator class and changes to club station trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver, or a new vanity call sign. As previously announced, the new fees take effect on April 19, 2022.
Amateur Radio license application fees—part of a new fee schedule published in Report and Order FCC 20-184 on December 29, 2020—will take effect April 19, 2022, as announced in FCC Public Notice DA-22-307.
