Volunteer examiners (VEs) and volunteer-examiner coordinators
(VECs) may charge examinees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
preparing, processing, administering, or coordinating examinations for
amateur operator licenses. The amount of any such reimbursement fee
from any one examinee for any one examination session, regardless of
the number of elements administered, must not exceed the maximum
allowable fee. Where the VEs and the VEC both desire reimbursement,
they jointly decide upon a fair distribution of the fee.
This announcement is made pursuant to Sec. 97.527 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 97.527.
