In a Public Notice[1] titled "In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete," issued on March
12, 2025, the FCC is soliciting public input on any FCC rules in any service
that members of the public believe should be deleted or modified "for the
purpose of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens." This is the latest in a
series of similar proceedings going back to 1996, when the Communications Act
was amended to require the FCC to periodically review its rules.
ARRL[2] The National Association for Amateur Radio�, through its Executive
Committee and FCC Counsel, is conducting a review of the provisions in Part 97
and other related rules that apply to radio amateurs. ARRL is also soliciting
feedback from its members. Rules identified as outmoded, obsolete, or that for
other reasons should be repealed or modified, will be included in ARRL's filing
to be submitted no later than the FCC deadline of April 11, 2025. The deadline
for filing reply comments is April 28, 2025.
It is expected that the Commission will incorporate suggestions that it decides
worthy of its consideration in a future Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
that could be issued later this year. There will then be an opportunity for
public comment on the specific rules that the Commission proposes for deletion
or modification.
