<p dir="ltr">Se me permite, claro colega João, o corpo da notícia indica que o que desaparece é os custos de ter um indicativo ocasional e não a possibilidade de eles existirem.<br>

<br>
The Amateur Radio vanity call sign regulatory fee is set to disappear<br>
in the next few weeks. According to the best-available information<br>
from FCC sources, the first day that applicants will be able to file a<br>
vanity application without having to pay a fee is Thursday, September<br>
3.<br>
<br>
In deciding earlier this year to drop the regulatory fee components<br>
for Amateur Radio vanity call signs and General Mobile Radio Service<br>
(GMRS) applications, the FCC said it was doing so to save money and<br>
personnel resources. The Commission asserted that it costs more of<br>
both to process the regulatory fees and issue refunds than the amount<br>
of the regulatory fee payment.<br>
<br>
"Our costs have increased over time, and now that the costs exceed the<br>
amount of the regulatory fee, the increased relative administrative<br>
cost supports eliminating this regulatory fee category," the FCC said<br>
in its Report and Order, which appeared on July 21 in The Federal<br>
Register. "Once [it's] eliminated, these licensees will no longer be<br>
financially burdened with such payments, and the Commission will no<br>
longer incur these administrative costs that exceed the fee payments."<br>
<br>
The FCC raised the Amateur Service vanity call sign regulatory fee<br>
from $16.10 to its current $21.40 for the 10-year license term in<br>
2014. The $5.30 increase was the largest such fee hike in many years.<br>
In a typical fiscal year, the FCC collected on the order of $250,000<br>
in vanity call sign regulatory fees.<br>
<br>
The FCC said the revenue it would otherwise collect from such<br>
regulatory fees "will be proportionally assessed on other wireless fee<br>
categories." Congress has mandated that the FCC collect nearly $340<br>
million in regulatory fees from all services in fiscal year 2015.<br>
