(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds and declares as
follows:
(1) Since 1982, following the enactment of

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.

tect the provision of volunteer services to the Federal

erence, as appropriate, to the information identi-
fied in paragraph (2)(B); and

requires the use of vertebrate animals. 
‘‘(2) EXPLANATION IN CASE OF ORDER.— 
‘‘(A) IN
GENERAL.—If the Administrator 
issues an order under this section, the Adminis-
trator shall issue a statement providing a jus-
