Permit Operation of Certain Domestic Ship and Aircraft Radio Stations Without Individual Licenses

요약

This action amends the maritime service and aviation service rules to permit certain ship and aircraft radio stations that operate domestically and are not required by statute or treaty to carry a radio to operate without individual licenses. The effect of this rule is to eliminate the regulatory burdens of filing applications and the cost of the filing fee from hundreds of thousands of ship and aircraft station licensees. This action eliminates administrative burdens for both the public and the Commission without having a negative impact on safety or spectrum management in the Maritime and Aviation Services.
