ORDER

Adopted:  December 15, 2022	Released:  December 16, 2022

By the Commission:  

I. INTRODUCTION
1. By this Order, the Commission makes rule changes to Part 1 of the Commission’s rules, and adjusts its Schedule of Application Fees, 47 CFR § 1.1102 et seq., as listed in the Appendix, to adjust its fees for processing applications and other filings. 47 CFR § 1.1102 et seq.; Appendix. 
  Section 8(b)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act), requires the Commission, in every even-numbered year, to adjust the schedule of application fees to reflect increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded to the nearest $5 increment. 47 U.S.C. § 158(b)(1).  In addition to the section 8(b) CPI adjustment, section 8(c) of the Act requires the Commission to, by rule, amend the application fee schedule if the Commission determines that the schedule requires amendment so that: (1) such fees reflect increases or decreases in the costs of processing applications at the Commission or (2) such schedule reflects the consolidation or addition of new categories of applications. 47 U.S.C. § 158(c).  Section 8(c) of the Act does not mandate a timeframe for making any such amendments under section 8(c).  If the Commission determines that the application fee schedule may require an amendment pursuant to section 8(c), the Commission will initiate a rulemaking to seek comment on any proposed amendment(s) to the application fee schedule.
  However, pursuant to section 8(b)(2) of the Act, the Commission may not adjust an application fee if: (1) in the case of a fee the current amount of which is less than $200, the adjustment would result in a change in the current amount of less than $10 or (2) in the case of a fee the current amount of which is $200 or more, the adjustment would result in a change in the current amount of less than 5 percent. 47 U.S.C. § 158(b)(2).  The “current amount” is defined as “the amount of the fee on the date when the fee was established, the date when the fee was last adjusted under paragraph (1), or the date when the fee was last amended under subsection (c), whichever is latest.” 47 U.S.C. § 158(b)(3). 

2. In December 2020, pursuant to authority established by the RAY BAUM’S Act, The Repack Airwaves Yielding Better Access for Users of Modern Services Act of 2018, or the RAY BAUM’S Act of 2018, amended sections 8 and 9 and added section 9A to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and provided that such provisions would become effective on October 1, 2018.  See Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-141, 132 Stat. 1084, Division P – RAY BAUM’S Act of 2018, Title I, § 103 (2018).
 the Commission adopted a new application fee schedule that significantly updated the Commission’s previous fee schedule in both types of applications and other processes covered by the fee requirement and also in the fee amounts. Amendment of the Schedule of Application Fees Set Forth in Sections 1.1102 through 1.1109 of the Commission’s Rules, MD Docket No. 20-270, Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd 15089 (2020) (2020 Application Fee Report and Order). The 2020 Application Fee Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2021 and became effective on April 19, 2021. Schedule of Application Fees of the Commission’s Rules, 86 Fed. Reg. 15026 (Mar. 19, 2021).
  The application fees for the Office of Engineering and Technology and the Media Bureau became effective on July 15, 2021, Effective Date of New Application Fee Rates for the Office of Engineering and Technology and the Media Bureau, MD Docket No. 20-270, Public Notice, DA 21-747 (OMD 2021).  
 for the Enforcement Bureau, the Wireline Competition Bureau, and the International Bureau on December 15, 2021, Effective Date of New Application Fee Rates for the Enforcement Bureau, the Wireline Competition Bureau, and the International Bureau, MD Docket No. 20-270, Public Notice, DA 21-1496 (OMD 2021).  
 and for the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau on April 19, 2022. Effective Date of New Application Fee Rates for the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, MD Docket No. 20-270, Public Notice, DA 22-307 (OMD 2022).  
  Pursuant to section 8(b) of the Act, we are required to adjust the application fee schedule this year. 47 U.S.C. § 158(b).  The Act does not specify whether the section 8(b) CPI adjustments are required to be made in every calendar or fiscal year.  We, therefore, interpret this provision to require us to make such adjustments by Order by the end of each calendar year consistent with the timing of the adoption of the 2020 Application Fee Report and Order.  See 2020 Application Fee Report and Order.  
  Thus, this Order adjusts the application fees to reflect the net change in the CPI of 11.6%, an increase of 30.958 index points calculated from 267.054 to 298.012. Application fees are calculated based upon the process set forth in 47 U.S.C. § 158(b)(1).  Section 8(b)(1) prescribes that application fees are to be increased or decreased by the percentage change in the CPI during the period beginning on the date when the application fee was established or the date when the application fee was last amended and ending on the date of the review, i.e., since December 2020.  The actual calculation of application fees is based on index points that are averaged over a time period beginning April 2021, the effective date of the 2020 Application Fee Report and Order, and ending October 2022, the date of the most recent CPI data.  See Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U Index at https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/supplemental-files/historical-cpi-u-202208.pdf, page 2. 
  The adjustments comply with the requirements set forth in section 8(b) of the Act. 47 U.S.C. § 158(b). Because section 8(b)(2) limits the application fees the Commission can adjust in every even-numbered year, not all application fees have been adjusted as a result of an increase in the CPI. See supra para. 1 & n.3.  
 
3. Procedural Matters.  The methodology and timing of adjustments to application fees are prescribed by statute at 47 U.S.C. § 158(b).  Because our action implementing the statute under section 8(b) leaves us no discretion, prior notice and comment is unnecessary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 553(b)(3)(B).  Additionally, no final regulatory flexibility analysis is required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 604(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. § 601 et seq.  Further, this document does not contain new or modified information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new or modified information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).  
4. Additionally, the Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, concurs, that this rule is non-major under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. § 804(2).  The Commission will send a copy of this Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(1)(A) and section 9a(b) of the Act. 47 U.S.C. § 159a(b) (requiring that notice must be provided to Congress of any adjustment under section 158(b) immediately upon the adoption of such adjustment).
  Notification of the fee adjustments made in this Order will also be published in the Federal Register. 
5. Electronic Payments.  As a reminder, filers are required to submit payments electronically in accordance with the procedures set forth on the Commission’s web site, https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/application-processing-fees.  Payments can be made through the Commission Registration System (CORES), accessible at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do.  To file applications, tariffs, and petitions, parties should utilize, as applicable, the Commission’s Electronic Tariff Filing System (ETFS) 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.

II. ORDERING CLAUSES
6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that, pursuant to §§ 1, 4(i), 4(j), and 8 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151, 154(i), 154(j), and 158, the rule changes specified herein ARE ADOPTED and the Schedule of Application Fees, 47 CFR § 1.1102 et seq., IS AMENDED as set forth in the attached Appendix.

§1.1102 Schedule of charges for applications and other filings in the wireless telecommunications services. 

Some of the wireless application fees below have a regulatory fee component that must be paid at the time of a new or a renewal of a wireless application.  Please refer to the Wireless Filing Guide for payment type codes at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/application-processing-fees.

(a) In tables to this section, the amounts appearing in the column labeled “Fee Amount” are for application fees only. Certain services, as indicated in the table below, also have associated regulatory fees that must be paid at the same time the application fee is paid. For more information on the associated regulatory fees, please refer to the most recent Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Fee Filing Guide for the corresponding regulatory fee amount located at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/ application-processing-fees. For additional guidance, please refer to § 1.1152 of this chapter. Application fee payments can be made electronically using the Commission's Universal Licensing System (ULS).

(b) Site-based licensed services are services for which an applicant's initial application for authorization generally provides the exact technical parameters of its planned operations (such as transmitter location, area of operation, desired frequency(s)/band(s), power levels). Site-based licensed services include land mobile systems (one or more base stations communicating with mobile devices, or mobile-only systems), point-to-point systems (two stations using a spectrum band to form a data communications path), point to-multipoint systems (one or more base stations that communicate with fixed remote units), as well as radiolocation and radionavigation systems. Examples of these licenses include, but are not limited to, the Industrial/Business Pool, Trunked licenses and Microwave Industrial/Business Pool licenses.

(d) Geographic-based licenses authorize an applicant to construct anywhere within a particular geographic area's boundary (subject to certain technical requirements, including interference protection) and generally do not require applicants to submit additional applications for prior Commission approval of specific transmitter locations. Examples of these licenses include, but are not limited to, the 220-222 MHz Service licenses, Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service licenses, 600 MHz Band Service licenses, and 700 MHz Lower Band Service licenses.
