[amsat-bb] Re: FCC Part 97 Report and Order - ISS

I note the document indicates "Adopted: October 4, 2006". Am I to understand that this means these amendments to Part 97 are now in effect, or is there a further step required by the FCC?

This still needs to be published in the Federal Register, and then will take effect 30 days after that happens. This is noted about 2/3 of the way through the document. FCC can't specify the date for this, since it doesn't control when actions like this are published in there. Some have commented on other lists that this should be published in the Federal Register in the next few days, so it may be sometime in mid-November before these changes take effect.
