NOTICE TO RECENTAPPLICANTS FOR CLASS D CITIZENS RADIO SERVICE LICENSEES

Interest in the Citizens Radio Service has increased phenomenal l y during the past few months . During October 1975, for example , the Commission received over 300,000 Class D lice n se applications . During t he same period last year we received approximately 40,000 such applications . The recent influx of applications has created a large backlog of pending applications , and for this reason it is now taki ng about 12 weeks from t he time an appl ication is received for a license to be issued .

As a resu l t of the backlog of pending applica t ions , the Commission is Pictured above is Diana Helmstetter of National Headquarters of Alert advertising the new Alert being deluged with letters from applicants inquiring into the sta t us vest which are for safe at $4.00 each. Sizes: Medium and Large, Color : I nternationaf orange, of their applications . Unfortunately , the Commission (s limited resources trimmed in black , with the silk screen emblem on the back . If you wish to purchase one of do not permit it to give a personal response t o each l e t ter it r eceives . Commission employees are currently engaged in processing and issuing these vests just send your order to Alert Inc., 818 National Press Bldg., Washington, D.C. Citizens Service licenses, and to respond ind i vidually to each l e t ter 20045 . received wou l d cause further delay in the comp l etion of these and ot her vital tasks . I.J'e empha.stze th.':lt virtually every license applica t ion we receive is pr ocessed in about 12 weeks , and we ur ge applicants not to inquire into the status of an application before this per iod has elapsed . To do otherwise will only delay the Commission ' s staff in the completion of its duties.

For those intending to suhmit applications for Citizens Service licenses , we urge that the following precautions be observed to ensure pr oper processing:

Enclose a check or money order for the correct license fee , $4 .

Be sure your address is complete , including zip code .

Sign and date the application.

Recheck your application to ens ure you have completed it o

Enclose the application in a Size 10 (business · size) envelope.

There also appears to be some confusion among applicants conce r ning the minimum age required for the issuance of a Class D l icense. While the Commission has proposed a reduction of the age l imit f r om 18 to 16 in Docket 20120 , this is only a proposa l. The age limi t contained in Section 95. 13 of t he Ru l es ha s not been lowe red t o 16. An ind i vidual appl icant must be at l east 18 years of a ge, and applicati ons recei ved f ro m i ndividuals under 18 will be r eturne d.
