This was forwarded by Andy Clegg, W4JE:

The attached document begins:

"In this Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order (NPRM), we address  
eighteen petitions for rulemaking.  The petitioners request that we  
amend the Commission’s amateur radio service rules  to implement  
revised international Radio Regulations that were adopted at the 2003  
World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC‑03).

"Most of the petitioners request that we entirely or partially  
eliminate the requirement that an individual must pass an  
international Morse code[4] telegraphy examination in order to  
qualify for certain classes of amateur radio operator licenses.

"Others request that we either maintain the current requirement or  
increase the speed in telegraphy that an individual must demonstrate  
in order to qualify for certain classes of amateur radio operator  
licenses.

"In addition, some petitioners request that we establish a new class  
of operator license in the amateur service, or otherwise modify the  
license structure or associated operating privileges. "

Reader (a free download from Adobe) or another PDF reader should be
