FCC extends license-renewal deadlines for storm-devastated states

Because President George W. Bush has issued a major disaster declaration for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, the FCC has announced it's extending until October 31, 2005, certain filing and regulatory deadlines for licensees in those states. The extension does not apply to licensees in Florida, however. "We recognize that President Bush also issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the state of Florida on August 28, 2005," the FCC said in a footnote to its public notice. "We do not extend the relief granted in this public notice to entities in the state of Florida, because Florida was apparently not subject to the same level of destruction as were parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama." The extension affects Amateur Radio license renewal deadlines falling between August 29 and October 30, 2005. For more information, contact Tracy Simmons in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 717-338-2657.
