§ 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.
