The Commission also eliminated both the Section 13.215 requirement that COLE Managers use the most recent question pool available to the public, and the Section 13.203 specifications of the number of questions for each examination element.

Commenters should address the relative benefits of listing carrier frequencies, assigned frequencies or both frequencies in the Part 80 tables. Examination Requirements for GMDSS Radio Operators We propose to further modify our commercial radio operator license examination requirements for GMDSS operators. Currently, Section 13.203(a)(5) of the Rules provides that the written examination for Element 7, GMDSS radio operating practices, shall consist of 76 questions. Based on our experience in updating the question pool for Element 7, we believe a 100-question examination for Element 7 would provide a better assessment of whether applicants have the necessary breadth of knowledge to qualify as a GMDSS operator.

Importantly, we have no evidence that our current practice has resulted in actual confusion and unauthorized operations to any appreciable degree. Accordingly, we will continue to list carrier frequencies in the Part 80 tables of frequencies. Examination Requirements for GMDSS Operators Background. Currently, section 13.203(a)(5) of the Commission's rules provides that the written examination for Commercial Operator Licensing Examination Element 7, GMDSS radio operating practices, is to consist of seventy-six questions. In the FNPRM, the Commission proposed to increase the number of questions in the Element 7 examination to 100 because it believed a 100-question examination would provide a better assessment of whether applicants have

Second, the Commission requested comment on whether it should amend Section 13.203(a) of its Rules by deleting the specification of the number of questions for each examination element. If the number of questions for each examination element is not codified, the Commission reasoned, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau would have the flexibility to specify the number of questions for a given examination element in a public notice, obviating the need to undertake a
