Sec. 1.85  Suspension of operator licenses.



    Whenever grounds exist for suspension of an operator license, as 

provided in Sec. 303(m) of the Communications Act, the Chief of the 

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, with respect to amateur and 

commercial radio operator licenses, may issue an order suspending the 

operator license. No order of suspension of any operator's license shall 

take effect until 15 days' notice in writing of the cause for the 

proposed suspension has been given to the operator licensee, who may 

make written application to the Commission at any time within the said 

15 days for a hearing upon such order. The notice to the operator 

licensee shall not be effective until actually received by him, and from 

that time he shall have 15 days in which to mail the said application. 

In the event that physical conditions prevent mailing of the application 

before the expiration of the 15-day period, the application shall then 

be mailed as soon as possible thereafter, accompanied by a satisfactory 

explanation of the delay. Upon receipt by the Commission of such 

application for hearing, said order of suspension shall be designated 

for hearing by the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and said 

suspension shall be held in abeyance until the conclusion of the 

hearing. Upon the conclusion of said hearing, the Commission may affirm, 

modify, or revoke said order of suspension. If the license is ordered 

suspended, the operator shall send his operator license to the Licensing 

and Technical Analysis Branch, Public Safety and Private Wireless 

Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, in Washington, DC, on or 

before the effective date of the order, or, if the effective date has 

passed at the time notice is received, the license shall be sent to the 

Commission forthwith.
