The original NPRM was in 2006 so you've had 4 years to comment on how
inept the rule is before adoption.

Did you?

Was the date the proposal was to go into effect announced 4 years ago in
that NPRM?

So far as I can see, the main issue is the exceedingly short 60 day grace
period between when the proposal was announced as having been adopted (not
all proposals end up that way, hence the word "proposal") and the date it
was to become effective.

I talked to APOA this morning and they were caught by surprise. I do
not know all the facts but the normal NPRM process "may not" have been
followed. Apparently the FAA was as well. Sounds like very poor
communication between the FCC and people impacted by this.

Normally the adoption date depends on how many comments are received on
the proposal and how many times it has to be redone because of comments.
