§ 97.17 Application for new license grant.
(a) Any qualified person is eligible to apply for a new operator/primary
station, club station or military recreation station license grant. No new
license grant will be issued for a Novice or Advanced Class operator/primary

(b) Each application for a new amateur service license grant must be filed
with the FCC as follows:
(1) Each candidate for an amateur radio operator license which requires the
applicant to pass one or more examination elements must present the
administering VEs with all information required by the rules prior to the
examination. The VEs may collect all necessary information in any manner of
their choosing, including creating their own forms.
(2) For a new club or military recreation station license grant, each
applicant must present all information required by the rules to an amateur
radio organization having tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that provides voluntary, uncompensated and
unreimbursed services in providing club and military recreation station call
signs (“Club Station Call Sign Administrator”) who must submit the

Sign Administrator may collect the information required by these rules in
any manner of their choosing, including creating their own forms. The Club
Station Call Sign Administrator must retain the applicants information for
at least 15 months and make it available to the FCC upon request. The FCC

have completed a pilot autogrant batch filing project and are authorized to
serve as a Club Station Call Sign Administrator.
