§  97.107   Reciprocal operating authority.

   A non-citizen of the United States ("alien") holding an amateur service
   authorization granted by the alien's government is authorized to be the
   control operator of an amateur station located at places where the
   amateur service is regulated by the FCC, provided there is in effect a
   multilateral or bilateral reciprocal operating arrangement, to which
   the United States and the alien's government are parties, for amateur
   service operation on a reciprocal basis. The FCC will issue public
   announcements listing the countries with which the United States has
   such an arrangement. No citizen of the United States or person holding
   an FCC amateur operator/primary station license grant is eligible for
   the reciprocal operating authority granted by this section. The
   privileges granted to a control operator under this authorization are:

   (a) For an amateur service license granted by the Government of Canada:

   (1) The terms of the Convention Between the United States and Canada
   (TIAS No. 2508) Relating to the Operation by Citizens of Either Country
   of Certain Radio Equipment or Stations in the Other Country;

   (2) The operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license
   issued by the Government of Canada; and

   (3) The applicable rules of this part, but not to exceed the control
   operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator
   license.

   (b) For an amateur service license granted by any country, other than
   Canada, with which the United States has a multilateral or bilateral
   agreement:

   (1) The terms of the agreement between the alien's government and the
   United States;

   (2) The operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license
   granted by the alien's government;

   (3) The applicable rules of this part, but not to exceed the control
   operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator
   license; and

   (c) At any time the FCC may, in its discretion, modify, suspend or
   cancel the reciprocal operating authority granted to any person by this
   section.
