FCC ANNOUNCES REVISED APPLICATION FEE SCHEDULE
Effective April 28, 2009, the application fees charged to licensees and permittees by the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) will increase to reflect the change in the Consumer Price 
Index-Urban (CPI-U).
Section 8(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended in the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1989, requires cost-of-living adjustments to the application fee schedule 
every two years after October 1, 1991.  Increases in the dollar amount of all Section 8 application 
fees are based on the percentage change in the CPI-U from the date of enactment of the 
legislation.  The new Schedule of Application Fees reflects the net change in the CPI-U of 4.9 
percent, calculated from October 2005 through October 2007 in accordance with Section 1.1115 
of Part 1 of the Commission’s Rules.
Wireless Telecommunications Services application fees that have an associated regulatory fee 
that must be paid at the time of application filing are noted by an asterisk in the Schedule.  Please 
refer to the most recent Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Fee Filing Guide for the total fee 
that is due for these specific services.
Copies of all fee filing guides for each of the Bureaus/Offices that have feeable services may be 
obtained on the Internet at www.fcc.gov/fees/appfees.html.  Copies may also be obtained by 
calling Forms Distribution at (202) 418-3676 or toll free by calling 1-800-418-3676.  You may 
also pick up the filing guides in the Commission Room TW-B200.  
All revenues generated by Section 8 Application Fees are deposited in the General Fund of the 
United States Treasury.
For additional information concerning the new Schedule of Section 8 Application Fees, please 
contact the CORES Helpdesk at 1-877-480-3201 (Option 4).
