The basic problem is that some folks either didn't read or didn't
understand the test of the Report and Order.

AFAIK, it's done this way to avoid conflicts. The R&O is effectively
"out there" for anyone to
look at, but if there were some sort of conflict with another govt.
agency, etc., or a mistake in the R&O, FCC could take action before
the effective date, and/or hold up implementation by not
publishing. That's extremely doubtful in this case - the delay in
getting the R&O published
is almost certainly simple bureaucratic procedure.

I'm sure that the delay (not abnormal at all) in publishing in the FR is
just that - the bureaucracy.

indeed it is normal I am just hoping that we will not soon start see
ProCode insisting well maybe trhey changed their mind

Not all FCC actions go through that procedure. Emergency declarations
are one example - they're usually effective immediately.

True - but the APA requires that there be very good reasons for not giving
the citizenry due and reasonable notice before new regulations take effect.

Sooner or later all the wheels will turn!

Agreed ...

and they grind slowly and frankly they grind slower for me than you and
