In this vein--  I had emailed Rick Lindquist N1RL (editor of
the ARRL Letter) that the matter was conspicuous by its
absence.  Here's his reply

Hi, Gerry

It is ARRL's news policy to report on petitions filed with the
FCC only after they have been put on public notice by the FCC
(ie, given an RM number) and comments invited. The NCVEC
petition is not the only one that has been filed, by the way,
and others have indicated an intention to file similar
petitions.

Thanks for writing. We appreciate your membership in ARRL.

73, Rick N1RL
