Summary

This is a General Accounting Office report on the status of state involvement in the licensing of radio and telecommunications engineers and technicians in the wake of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) elimination of its own program for licensing operators of certain telecommunications equipment. This issue has been raised by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE), which is concerned about state licensing statutes governing all professional engineers being enforced against telecommunications engineers. This fact sheet addresses FCC's past involvement in licensing operators (section 1), states' enforcement of professional engineering statutes (section 2), views on states' actions by various affected organizations (section 3), and discussion of a proposal to preempt state jurisdiction (section 4). GAO contacted nine states where NARTE and others we spoke with claimed that activity against telecommunications engineers had occurred
