*Pages 1--1 from Microsoft Word - 50010.doc* STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL COPPS, CONCURRING Re: Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2005 As in past years, I concur to emphasize that the Commission should consider initiating a proceeding to address when or how it would adjust the regulatory fees pursuant to section 9( b)( 3) of the Act. As technology advances and our regulatory activities change, we must continue to look for ways to improve our regulatory fee methodology to ensure that we continue to comply fully with the Act’s requirements. 1
