WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU SOLICITS ASSISTANCE IN UPDATING
COMMERCIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATION (COLE) QUESTION POOLS FOR
ELEMENTS 7 AND 7R
Comment Date: September 7, 2012 Reply Date: September 24, 2012
In furtherance of the Commission's ongoing commitment to improve upon the content of the
Commercial Operator License Examination (COLE), we hereby solicit private sector assistance in
updating the COLE question pools for Elements 7 (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
(GMDSS) radio operating practices) and 7R (Restricted GMDSS radio operating practices). The
Commission's goal is to ensure that the questions reflect the current duties and responsibilities of
commercial radio operator licensees and state-of-the-art technologies.
Owen Anderson has examined the current question pools and submitted for our review revised
model test pools for Elements 7 and 7R. He has proposed that we adopt these question pools in their
entirety. Accordingly, we seek comment on whether these question pools should be adopted either
partially or in their entirety, and whether any changes should be made thereto. In addition, we seek
suggestions regarding whether any current questions should be eliminated and any new questions should
be added. Each proposed new question must be stated as a complete sentence and include a narrative
statement regarding the question's importance. For each question, the following information must be
included:
1. Element number associated with the question.
2. Correct answer and at least three multiple-choice distracters.
3. Name of source document upon which the question is based, and
4. A citation for the correct answer. .
