FCC 'omnibus' rule changes not yet in effect

The new Amateur Radio rules detailed in the recent 'omnibus' FCC Report and Order (R&O), WT Docket 04-140, adopted October 4 and released October 10, are not yet in effect.

The R&O is available on the FCC Web site,
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/
FCC-06-149A1.pdf
.

The changes will become effective 30 days after they appear in the Federal Register, the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules and notices of federal agencies and organizations.

Since publication has not yet occurred, the effective date of the Part 97 rule changes cannot be determined. The ARRL will announce the effective date of these new rules as soon as it's known.

The "omnibus" R&O does not include action on the Commission's proposal to eliminate the Morse code requirement for all license classes. A Report and Order in that proceeding, WT Docket 05-235, is still pending, and the ARRL will announce when the Commission releases it.
