Looks like the ARRL will not file this amended proposal until later this year at the earliest. >From the ARRL web site:
Draft Petition to Establish Subbands by Bandwidth Modified Following recommendations of the ARRL Executive Committee, the Board adopted changes to the League's pending petition that would propose segmenting bands principally by maximum bandwidth rather than by emission type. The petition remains in the draft stage, although the Board has reviewed the document and membership input. Board members okayed three amendments to the draft. These would call on the FCC to permit non-telephony emissions not exceeding 3 kHz at 10.135 to 10.150 MHz, to prohibit "continuous" test transmissions on most frequencies above 51 MHz, and to clarify §97.309 of the rules to specify that amateur stations may use any published digital code, as long as other rules are observed. Additionally, the Executive Committee will evaluate whether to recommend retaining, deleting or amending §97.221(b) and/or §97.221(c) of the rules regarding automatic control of digital emissions. "This evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, the effect of these rules, and the effect of proposed changes in these rules, on APRS and other current and planned digital communications in the HF bands," the resolution noted. The Board will consider the amended bandwidth petition and the Executive Committee's further report at its July meeting. The League is not expected to file the petition with the FCC until later this year at the earliest.
