Luckily, the "participants" in the ARS do NOT get to impose any
requirements at all. The FCC makes the rules and, as a government
entity, it has NO justification to make requirements that can not be
justified.

Agreed; the government lacks this power. I think you'll find that the
demands of the ARS licensees could constitute "justification", if the
FCC so desired. It is, ultimately, regulating a big club after all.
It's very strange business, really.
