>> *   license fees will NOT become effective on April 19, 2021.*
>>    Thus, it is not necessary for VECs to collect, or for any new licenses
>> to pay
>>    any license fees until the FCC publicly publishes in the Federal
>> Register
>>    the date on which such fees must be collected/paid.
>>    So, encourage everyone to get their licenses before this
>>    summer —  it will save them $35.00.
