§ 13.209 Examination procedures.
(a) Each examination for a commercial radio operator license must be
administered at a location and a time specified by the COLEM. The COLEM is
responsible for the proper conduct and necessary supervision of each
examination. The COLEM must immediately terminate the examination upon
failure of the examinee to comply with its instructions.
(b) Each examinee, when taking an examination for a commercial radio
operator license, shall comply with the instructions of the COLEM.
(c) No examination that has been compromised shall be administered to any
examinee. Neither the same telegraphy message nor the same question set may
be re-administered to the same examinee.
(d) Passing a telegraphy examination. Passing a telegraphy receiving
examination is adequate proof of an examinee's ability to both send and
receive telegraphy. The COLEM, however, may also include a sending segment
in a telegraphy examination.
(1) To pass a receiving telegraphy examination, an examinee is required to
receive correctly the message by ear, for a period of 1 minute without error
at the rate of speed specified in § 13.203(b).
(2) To pass a sending telegraphy examination, an examinee is required to
send correctly for a period of one minute at the rate of speed specified in
§ 13.203(b).
(e) The COLEM is responsible for determining the correctness of he
examinee's answers. When the examinee does not score a passing grade on an
examination element, the COLEM must inform the examinee of the grade.
(f) No applicant who is eligible to apply for any commercial radio operator
license shall, by reason of any physical disability, be denied the privilege
of applying and being permitted to attempt to prove his or her
qualifications (by examination if examination is required) for such
commercial radio operator license in accordance with procedures established
by the COLEM.
(g) No applicant who is eligible to apply for any commercial radio operator
license shall, by reason of any physical handicap, be denied the privilege
of applying and being permitted to attempt to prove his or her
qualifications (by examination if examination is required) for such
commercial radio operator license in accordance with procedures established
by the COLEM.
(h) The COLEM must accommodate an examinee whose physical disabilities
require a special examination procedure. The COLEM may require a physician's
certification indicating the nature of the disability before determining
which, if any, special procedures are appropriate to use. In the case of a
blind examinee, the examination questions may be read aloud and the examinee
may answer orally. A blind examinee wishing to use this procedure must make
arrangements with the COLEM prior to the date the examination is desired.
(i) The FCC may:
(1) Administer any examination element itself.
(2) Readminister any examination element previously administered by a COLEM,
either itself or by designating another COLEM to readminister the
examination element.
(3) Cancel the commercial operator license(s) of any licensee who fails to
appear for re-administration of an examination when directed by the FCC, or
who fails any required element that is re-administered. In case of such
cancellation, the person will be issued an operator license consistent with
completed examination elements that have not been invalidated by not
appearing for, or by failing, the examination upon re-administration.
