Bluesfan,

the implementation of federal statutes is not always well thought out. Frequently a new law is "so important" that it has to go into effect quickly, when in fact the infrastructure for enforcing and overseeing the new law or regulation will take a lot longer to put into place.

For instance: the IRS has adopted new fee structures to encourage people to use an online aide when filing for a 501(c). Problem: The fee structure began Jan. 1, the online aide will be available sometime in 2010, maybe.

I can see a Federal CCL program with an early start date but no way to issue such licenses or track applicants for some time. And that's besides what's already been pointed out - a Federal CCL would be weaker than my current state CCL.
