§ 13.13 Application for a renewed or modified license.
(a) Each application to renew a First Class Radiotelegraph Operator's
Certificate, Second Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate, Third Class
Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate, or Radiotelegraph Operator License
must be made on FCC Form 605. The application must be accompanied by the
appropriate fee and submitted in accordance with § 1.913 of this chapter.
Beginning May 20, 2013, First and Second Class Radiotelegraph Operator's
Certificates will be renewed as Radiotelegraph Operator Licenses, and Third
Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificates will be renewed as Marine Radio
Operator Permits.
(b) If a license expires, application for renewal may be made during a grace
period of five years after the expiration date without having to retake the
required examinations. The application must be accompanied by the required
fee and submitted in accordance with § 1.913 of this chapter. During the
grace period, the expired license is not valid. A license renewed during the
grace period will be effective as of the date of the renewal. Licensees who
fail to renew their licenses within the grace period must apply for a new
license and take the required examination(s). Beginning May 20, 2013, no
applications for new First, Second, or Third Class Radiotelegraph Operator's
Certificates will be accepted for filing.
(c) Each application involving a change in operator class must be filed on
FCC Form 605. Each application for a commercial operator license involving a
change in operator class must be accompanied by the required fee, if any,
and submitted in accordance with § 1.913 of this chapter. The application
must include an original PPC(s) from a COLEM(s) showing that the applicant
has passed the necessary examination Element(s) within the previous 365 days
when the applicant files the application. If a COLEM files the application
on behalf of the applicant, an original PPC(s) is not required. However, the
COLEM must keep the PPC(s) on file for a period of 1 year. When acting on
behalf of qualified examinees, the COLEM must forward all required data to
the FCC electronically.
(d) Provided that a person's commercial radio operator license was not
revoked, or suspended, and is not the subject of an ongoing suspension
proceeding, a person holding a General Radiotelephone Operator License,
Marine Radio Operator Permit, First Class Radiotelegraph Operator's
Certificate, Second Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate, Third Class
Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate, Radiotelegraph Operator License,
GMDSS Radio Operator's License, GMDSS Radio Maintainer's License, or GMDSS
Radio Operator/Maintainer License, who has an application for another
commercial radio operator license which has not yet been acted upon pending
at the FCC and who holds a PPC(s) indicating that he or she passed the
necessary examination(s) within the previous 365 days, is authorized to
exercise the rights and privileges of the license for which the application
is filed. This temporary conditional operating authority is valid for a
period of 90 days from the date the application is received. This temporary
conditional operating authority does not relieve the licensee of the
obligation to comply with the certification requirements of the Standards of
Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention. The FCC, in its
discretion, may cancel this temporary conditional operating authority
without a hearing.
(e) An applicant will be given credit for an examination element as
specified below:
(1) An unexpired (or within the grace period) FCC-issued commercial radio
operator license: Except as noted in paragraph (e)(3) of this section, the
written examination and telegraphy Element(s) required to obtain the license
held;
(2) An expired or unexpired FCC-issued Amateur Extra Class operator license
grant granted before April 15, 2000: Telegraphy Elements 1 and 2; and
(3) An FCC-issued Third Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate that was
renewed as a Marine Radio Operator Permit (see § 13.13(b) of this chapter)
that is unexpired (or within the grace period): Telegraphy Elements 1 and 2.
