On March 12, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a Public Notice titled “In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete,” seeking input from the public on FCC rules that may be outdated, unnecessary, or in need of modification. This inquiry is part of the FCC's ongoing effort to alleviate regulatory burdens across various services, including the Amateur Radio Service.
While the FCC Public Notice is a broad inquiry that does not single out any specific radio service, ARRL is nonetheless committed to protecting the Amateur Radio Service, promoting its public interest goals, and ensuring your right to access radio spectrum.
ARRL is conducting a thorough examination of the provisions in Part 97 and related rules that affect amateur radio operators. Our FCC Counsel and the ARRL Executive Committee will prepare written comments to submit our official filing to the FCC by the April 11 deadline. After that, there will be an opportunity for reply comments at the FCC until April 28, and then later, opportunities for public comment on any rules the FCC proposes to delete or modify.
ARRL will consider feedback we have received from members. Please submit comments to ARRL by March 31, 2025. Members who want to share comments and concerns about this matter are urged to share your feedback directly with ARRL using this form:
THE FORM SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS CLOSED.
