SB QST ARL ARLB021
ARLB021 Comment deadlines set in FCC "Morse code" proceeding

The deadline to submit comments on the FCC Notice of Proposed Rule
Making and Order (NPRM&O) in WT Docket 05-235, released July 19, is
October 31. Reply comments are due November 14. The NPRM&O proposes
to do away with the 5 WPM Morse code requirement for all license
classes. The FCC turned away several other petition requests,
however, including proposals to create a new entry-level license
class.

Comment deadlines are established by the NPRM&O's publication in the
Federal Register, which occurred August 31.

To file on-line comments on the FCC NPRM&O in WT Docket 05-235 or to
view others' comments in the proceeding, visit the FCC Electronic
Comment Filing System (ECFS) at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/.

eRulemaking Portal, http://www.regulations.gov/.
