 PUBLIC  NOTICE  Federal  Communications  Commission  445  12  th  St.,  S.  W.  Washington,  D.  C.  20554  News  Media  Information  202  /  418-  0500  Internet:  http://  www.  fcc.  gov  TTY:  1-  888-  835-  5322

 FY  2004  Regulatory  Fees  Due  No  Later  Than  August  19,  2004 


 The  Federal  Communications  Commission  announced  today  that  licensees  that  are  required  to  pay  annual  regulatory  fees  must  make  their  FY  2004  payments  by  11:  59  PM  on  August  19,  2004. 
 The  official  fee  window  will  open  on  August  10,  2004,  but  payments  may  be  sent  prior  to  August  10,  2004.  All  regulatory  fee  payments  must  be  received  at  the  Commission’s  Pittsburgh, 
 Pennsylvania  address  by  11:  59  PM  on  August  19,  2004  to  avoid  being  assessed  a  25  percent  penalty.  All  payments  must  include  a  FCC  Registration  Number  (FRN)  to  be  processed.  The 
 FCC  has  historically  collected  fees  in  September,  but  this  has  sometimes  impeded  our  ability  to  collect  all  regulatory  fees  due  by  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year. 


 The  agency  has  already  begun  a  process  of  sending  fee  notices  to  some  licensees  that  are  required  to  pay  fees.  These  notices  will  continue  to  be  mailed  through  the  middle  of  July  2004. 
 As  was  the  case  last  year,  the  Commission  will  not  be  sending  public  notices  to  individual  licensees.  However,  because  not  all  licensees  who  owe  fees  will  receive  a  notice,  we  encourage 
 everyone  to  check  the  agency’s  Internet  web  site  at  http://  www.  fcc.  gov/  fees/  regfees.  html  for  specific  information  on  payment  of  FY  2004  regulatory  fees. 


 Beginning  August  20,  2004,  the  Commission  will  begin  an  aggressive  effort  of  contacting  FY  2004  non-  payers  for  full  payment  of  regulatory  fees  due,  which  will  include  a  25  percent  penalty 
 for  payments  received  after  August  19,  2004. 
 For  additional  information  on  regulatory  fees,  please  contact  Roland  Helvajian  at  (202)  418-  0444  or  Rob  Fream  at  (202)  418-  0408.
