  § 97.107   Reciprocal operating authority.

   A non-citizen of the United States (“alien”) holding an amateur service
   authorization granted by the alien's government is authorized to be the
   control operator of an amateur station located at places where the amateur
   service is regulated by the FCC, provided there is in effect a multilateral
   or bilateral reciprocal operating arrangement, to which the United States
   and the alien's government are parties, for amateur service operation on a
   reciprocal  basis. The FCC will issue public announcements listing the
   countries with which the United States has such an arrangement. No citizen
   of the United States or person holding an FCC amateur operator/primary
   station license grant is eligible for the reciprocal operating authority
   granted by this section. The privileges granted to a control operator under
   this authorization are:

   (a) For an amateur service license granted by the Government of Canada:

   (1) The terms of the Convention Between the United States and Canada (TIAS
   No. 2508) Relating to the Operation by Citizens of Either Country of Certain
   Radio Equipment or Stations in the Other Country;

   (2) The operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license issued
   by the Government of Canada; and

   (3)  The  applicable rules of this part, but not to exceed the control
   operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator license.

   (b)  For an amateur service license granted by any country, other than
   Canada,  with  which the United States has a multilateral or bilateral
   agreement:

   (1) The terms of the agreement between the alien's government and the United
   States;

   (2)  The operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license
   granted by the alien's government;

   (3)  The  applicable rules of this part, but not to exceed the control
   operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator license;
   and

   (c) At any time the FCC may, in its discretion, modify, suspend or cancel
   the reciprocal operating authority granted to any person by this section.
