Hello Randy and All.
Per the latest CQ magazine I received yesterday in the Washington
Readout column by W5YI this authority is mandated by the Debt Collection
Act of 1996. It is also known as Public Law 104-134. It's a crock, but
until congress is pressured into amending the law and exempting radio
amateurs, divulging your SSN or registering with ULS and aquiring a
License ID Number (LIN) is required to effect any changes to your
license information.
