From April 28 to May 27, 2011, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) conducted an appeal for opinions on its ministerial ordinance plans, etc. for partial revision of Radio Law Enforcement Regulations (1950 Radio Regulatory Council Regulation No. 14) accompanying the revision of radio communication regulations provided in the International Telecommunication Union charter concerning documents that must be provided to ship stations, etc. However, no opinions were submitted in response to the appeal.
Revisions of these ministerial ordinances, etc. will be carried out promptly in view of the results from the appeal for opinions.
1. Background of revisions, etc.
Radio communication regulations (RR) provided in the charter of the International Telecommunication Union were revised at WRC-07 (the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference), with changes made to the documents that must be provided to ship-based radio stations, and based on these revisions the documents will now be issued by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
