A BILL
To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to facilitate

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Amateur Radio Volun-
teer Services Act of 1996’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds and declares as
follows:
(1) Since 1982, following the enactment of
Public Law 97–259, the Federal Communications
Commission has been authorized to utilize volunteer
assistance of licensees in the amateur radio service
for—
(A) the preparation and administration of
amateur radio license examinations; and
(B) on-air monitoring for violations in the
amateur radio service.
(2) These volunteer services provided by indi-
vidual amateur radio licensees have greatly enhanced
the self-regulatory character of the Service, and have
saved the Commission countless hours of staff time
and other resources.
(3) The perception that volunteers put personal
assets at risk in the event of actions against them
as the result of their voluntary services may result
in nonparticipation of volunteers or withdrawal from
volunteer service.
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act to pro-
tect the provision of volunteer services to the Federal
Communications Commission as provided for in the Com-
munications Act of 1934, in the administration of the
amateur radio service.
SEC. 3. FACILITATION OF VOLUNTEER SERVICES TO THE

Section 4(f)(4)(G) of the Communications Act of
1934 (47 U.S.C. 154(f)(4)(G)) is hereby amended by in-
serting before the period at the end thereof the following:
‘‘, except that individual licensees in the amateur radio
service who provide volunteer services pursuant to sub-
paragraph (A), (B), or (C) of this paragraph, or pursuant
to subsection (g)(3)(B), shall be deemed to be Federal em-
ployees only for the purposes of chapter 171 of title 28,
United States Code.’’.
