> The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff has clarified in
> response to an ARRL request that the new $35 application fee will
> not apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade
> amateur radio licensee's operator class and changes to club station
> trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only
> to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver, or a new
> vanity call sign. As previously announced, the new fees take effect
> on April 19, 2022.

> "We are pleased that the FCC will not charge licensees the FCC
> application fee for license upgrade applications," said ARRL
> Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM.
> "While applicants for a new license will need to pay the $35 FCC
> application fee, there will be no FCC charge for future upgrades and
> administrative updates, such as a change of mailing or email
> address. Most current licensees, therefore, will not be charged the
> new FCC application fee until they renew their license or apply for
> a new vanity call sign."
>
> ARRL previously reported that the new $35 application fee for
> amateur radio licenses will become effective on April 19, 2022.
> Further information and instructions about the FCC Application Fee
