Here is the text of an email I received from the FCC, which quotes one I sent requesting clarification of the $14 fee. I realize that this conflicts with what NM5A was told in an email from Bill Cross. My request was based on a specific reference to FCC forms, and was submitted to the FCC information email address (fccinfo@fcc.gov) in accordance with the instructions on their web site.

Dear Stephen:

Thank you for your inquiry to the Consumer Response Center at Gettysburg.

You are correct about the fees for Amateur licensing. The $14 fee is only for the original vanity call application.

Best Regards,

>>> This message is to request clarification for the situations under which a fee is required for the filing of Form 605 for the Amateur Radio Service.

Upon review of the new Form 1070Y, effective Sept 11, 2000, I noticed the addition of the phrase "(New license term)" following the heading for Vanity Call Sign Request (page 3 of the referenced form). I would like to confirm that this is intended to mean that the
referenced $14 fee is only to be submitted with the initial request for a vanity call sign, and not with subsequent renewals of a vanity call sign. In other words, renewals of amateur licenses, whether of
the HA or HV service class, fall into the "no fee required" category.

Thank you very much for your attention to this request.
