new FCC fee structure (not sure when goes into effect)

[Guest mike]

I read about new fee for any FCC application , this would be new to the HAM bands , but does it apply to GMRS ? So will a GMRS license now be ~$70 plus the new $35, or just $35.00 in total ?

I believe $35.

I heard from end of year, need 60-90 days before all set.  FCC has to go through all the steps of publishing for comments and paper pushing the doing the website change.

I the $70 is a real deal breaker you have a chance to bail out when you get near the end of the process.

It will display the fee and you can stop right there.

They will keep your application on file and you can re-visit it up to a month later.

After that it will just delete it so you start over - no big deal.

 

As of last week it was still $70.

No idea how long it will take to change.

As of today it is still 70$. Now to see if they accept it.  I started my renewal on the 15th. But never could get to the pay for it page till today.  Microsoft edge won’t work...  expired the 17th. But they had the application on file for the 15th....  guess I will wait and see what they do
