FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY FEE FILING GUIDE FOR l Equipment Approval Services l Experimental Radio Services This is an unofficial compilation of the radio services and requests for FCC actions that are subject to fees. The public should consult the Commission's Rules as set out in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for application filing requirements. Further information on fees may be obtained at Part I, Subpart G of the CFR or in the Commission's official decision implementing the Congressional Schedule of Charges. Effective September 4, 2018 INTRODUCTION The authority of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) to impose and collect fees and associated charges is contained in Title III, Section 3001 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-39), Section 8, revised 47 U.S.C. 158, which directs the Commission to prescribe charges for certain types of services it provides to communication entities over which it has jurisdiction. This Fee Filing Guide is considered a reference guide to identify and describe the fee filing requirements for the Office of Engineering and Technology. It is meant to be a handy reference of the services and requests for FCC actions that are subject to a fee. The guide contains Parts A, B and C, as well as a breakdown of the types of applications, form numbers, fee amounts, payment type codes, and the mailing address for each service provided. It also contains a copy of FCC Remittance Advice, Form 159, and instructions on its use. Part A provides instructions on how to pay a fee and identifies other processing services available to the requester. Always read Part A before attempting to complete any of the forms required with your submission. Parts B and C provide specific information pertaining to the Office of Engineering and Technology’s Equipment Authorization and Compliance Branch and Experimental Licensing Branch. If further information is required that cannot be answered in this guide, please consult the Commission's Rules as set forth in Title 47, Part 1, Subpart G, Section 1.1101 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Additional copies of this guide may be obtained without charge by calling (202) 418-3676 or 1-800-418-3676 or at http://www.fcc.gov/fees/appfees.html. All fees are subject to modification as required by Congress. PART A IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS/LICENSEES WHO SUBMIT FEEABLE FILINGS Effective December 3, 2001, the use of the FCC Registration Number (FRN) is mandatory. Failure to register or include an FRN on your FCC Form 159 will result in your application being returned as unprocessable. If you do not yet have an FRN, you can obtain one through the FCC website listed below, or by filling out the registration form (Form 160) and submitting the registration form along with your payment and FCC Form 159. Unless the payer and the applicant are the same person or entity, a separate FRN number must be used for the payer FRN and the applicant FRN. If you are acting as an agent for an entity, and the remittance (i.e., check or credit card) carries your name as an official designated to pay on behalf of the entity, you must include the entity’s name both as payer and applicant in order to use the same FRN. Failure to follow these instructions will result in your application being returned as unprocessable. Please note that transactions with the FCC require the use of the FCC FRN. Therefore, please have the FRN available when contacting or submitting documents to the FCC. Ways to obtain a FCC Form 159: · Go to http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. · Call the FCC’s Form Distribution Center at 1-800-418-FORM [3676]. · Pick up the form at the Commission in Room TW-B200 · Call CORES Helpdesk at 1-877-480-3201. If you were registered in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s Universal Licensing System (ULS) and your registration included all the information we needed to issue a Registration Number, you have already been pre-registered. You may want to check CORES to determine if you are still registered, or if you have forgotten your registration number. Ways to obtain an FCC Registration Number (FRN): · Go to www.fcc.gov/cores and click Register link. · Check for your pre-assigned number at www.fcc.gov/cores by clicking on the search link. · File FCC Form 160, (CORES Registration). You may obtain the form at http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html or by calling the FCC’s CORES Helpdesk at 1-877-480-3201. You may also pick up the form in Commission Room TW-B200. Mailing instructions are on the form. If you are unable to register electronically, you can still submit your application for a Registration Number (FCC Form 160) directly to U.S. Bank (along with your filing documents and payment) or fax the FRN registration form to the CORES Helpdesk at (202) 418-7869 for some filing procedures. U.S. Bank will register you and you will receive a confirmation letter from the FCC through the U.S. Postal Service mail. DEBT COLLECTION IMPROVEMENT ACT In accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA), the Commission will begin withholding action on applications and other requests for benefits upon discovery that the entity applying for or seeking benefits is delinquent in its non-tax debts owed to the Commission, and dismiss such applications or requests if the delinquent debt is not resolved. Our application fee rules have been amended to state that we will withhold action on applications or other requests if payment of the delinquent debt is not made or satisfactory arrangements for payment are not made. Those rule amendments are effective October 1, 2004. REMINDER REGARDING LOCKBOX CLOSURES During the past few years, the Commission has been reducing its use of P.O. Boxes for the collection of fees and has encouraged the use of electronic payment systems for all application and regulatory fees. The Commission previously revised its payment rules to encourage electronic payment of application processing fees and require electronic payment of regulatory fees. 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1112 (application fees) and 1.1158 (regulatory fees). These rules became effective November 30, 2015. 80 FR 66816 (Oct. 30, 2015). The electronic payment of fees for applications, tariffs, and petitions increases the agency’s financial efficiency by reducing expenditures, including the annual fee for utilizing the bank’s services and the cost of processing each transaction manually, with very little or no inconvenience to the regulatees, applicants, and the public. See Treasury Financial Manual, Bulletin No. 2017-12, “Agency No-Cash or No-Check Policies,” released on September 18, 2017 (explaining the circumstances under which agencies may decide not to accept payments made in cash or by check), available at https://tfm.fiscal.treasury.gov/v1/bull/17-12.pdf; see also https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-06-16/pdf/2011-15181.pdf. As part of this process, the Commission has closed Lockbox 979092 (used to submit fees and petitions related to services provided by the Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau) and Lockbox 979091 (used to submit fees and petitions related to services provided by the Wireline Competition Bureau). Amendment of Part 1 of the Commission’s Rules, Order, MD Docket No. 17-123, 32 FCC Rcd 4203 (2017) (modifying Section 1.1109 of the Commission’s rules to delete reference to P.O. Box 979092 at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri); Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 51, and 61 of the Commission’s Rules, Order, MD Docket No. 17-357, 32 FCC Rcd 10565 (2017) (modifying Section 1.1105 of the Commission’s rules to delete reference to P.O. Box 979091 at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri). Additional closings will occur in the coming months. As these Lockboxes are closed, filers will be required to submit payments electronically in accordance with the procedures set forth on the Commission’s web site, https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/fees. Payments can be made through the Fee Filer Online System (Fee Filer), accessible at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/fee-filer, although we caution filers that the agency may transition to other secure payment systems in the future, after appropriate public notice and guidance. To file applications, tariffs, and petitions, parties should utilize, as applicable, the Commission’s Electronic Tariff Filing System for tariffs, which can be found at https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/etfsHome.action, or the Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), which can be found at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display. Petitions filed in hard copy format should be submitted according to the procedures set forth on the web page of the Commission’s Office of the Secretary, https://www.fcc.gov/seretary. REMITTANCE ADVICE - FCC FORM 159 The Remittance Advice, FCC Form 159, must accompany payment to the Federal Communications Commission for Regulatory Fees, Application Processing Fees, Fines, Forfeitures, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) billings or any other debt due to the FCC. The information on this form is collected and stored in a database to ensure credit of full payment of monies due, to expedite any refunds due, and to service public inquiries. Please refer to Part B/C of this guide for specific form requirements. Reproduced forms are acceptable. FCC Form 159C is a remittance advice continuation sheet that must be used when paying for more than two call signs in a single filing or when paying for multiple applicants in a single filing. Each call sign and/or applicant must be listed separately on the FCC Form 159/FCC Form 159C. METHOD OF PAYMENT (DO NOT SEND CASH) Payment of fees may be made by check, bank draft, money order, credit card or wire transfer. If paying by check, bank draft, money order or wire transfer, your remittance must be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. financial institution and made payable to "FCC." No postdated, altered or third party checks will be accepted. No checks will be accepted for processing if older than six months. The Commission will accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. Online credit card payments are also acceptable. Online credit card payment is an available option when filing electronic application submissions. If you choose this method of combined filing/payment, do not send an FCC Form 159 to U.S. Bank. If paying by wire, applicants located in foreign countries should contact their local bank to determine what U.S. financial institution their bank is affiliated with that will allow a transfer of funds. Please keep in mind that there may be an additional transfer fee added from your bank for this service. If an additional cost is required by your bank, and you have not included additional funds to cover this cost, it will be taken out of the funds that will be transferred. This will result in your remaining transfer amount being insufficient to cover the fee for the filing. Please check with your bank prior to completing this transaction to determine their policy. For further instructions in making payment by wire see our website at http://www.fcc.gov/fees/wiretran.html. Payment of fees, fines, and other debts may also be made by electronic payment. This is designed specifically for larger corporations capable of CPU/CPU communication. Under this method, the payer bank wires funds directly to the Commission's lockbox bank. As with cash payments, the funds must be wired from a U.S. financial institution. To obtain more information about electronic payment and how it works, please contact the Revenue and Receivables Operations Group at (202) 418-1995. For further information on making payment by electronic transfer see our website at http://www.fcc.gov/fees/electran.html. NONFEEABLE APPLICATIONS All non-feeable applications filed in Washington, DC must be filed directly with the Secretary's Office, Room TW-B204, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554 and should be captioned Attention: Enforcement Bureau. FEE EXEMPT APPLICATIONS Please check the appropriate block on your application, and if you have not previously done so, provide the proper documentation, as required, to certify that your application is fee exempt. 47 CFR, Part 1, Section 1.1116 of the Commission's rules explains who qualifies as fee exempt. MANAGING DIRECTOR DECISIONS Requests for waivers, fee determinations, reconsiderations, applications for review, deferments, and specific refund requests are referred directly to the Office of the Managing Director. Each request is forwarded to the Office of General Counsel for review and legal determination. 47 CFR, Part 1, Sections 1.1113 & 1.1117 govern the Commission's policies in these instances. The requester will receive written notification of the Managing Director's decision. These decisions are published monthly and are placed in FCC Docket 86-285. All such requests must be submitted in writing to: Managing Director Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW, Room 1-A625 Washington, DC 20554 WAIVERS, FEE DETERMINATIONS, AND DEFERRALS PROCESS The required filing fee must be paid for the service requested using the normal process. All requests for waivers, and fee determinations are filed directly with the Managing Director in Washington, DC. If the Commission grants the waiver request or the fee determination results in a lower fee, a refund will be issued. Deferrals of fees are also filed in Washington, DC, and have a limit of up to six months with good cause. Deferrals of fees are considered when the inability to pay the required fee is due to a financial hardship (i.e., bankruptcy), and must be accompanied by supporting documentation. REFUND PROCESS The appropriate Bureau/Office handles routine refund requests. When a Bureau/Office determines that a refund is warranted, it is forwarded to the Office of the Managing Director, Revenue and Receivables Operations Group for processing. The Revenue and Receivables Operations Group (RROG) handles all approved refund requests. Once the refund request is approved, the refund process usually takes 7-10 business days. Once a request has been reviewed and processed by RROG, it is forwarded to the U.S. Treasury in San Francisco, California where a check is issued to the payer of the remittance. For further information on return or refund of charges, refer to 47 CFR, Part 1, Section 1.1115 of the Commission’s Rules. MAILING INSTRUCTIONS Parties hand-delivering applications or filings may receive dated receipt copies of the application or filing from the acceptance clerk at the time of delivery. Receipts will be provided for mail-in applications or filings if an extra copy of the application or filing is provided along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
