I. INTRODUCTION
1. Today, pursuant to our statutory obligation in section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (Act or Communications Act) 47 U.S.C. § 159 (requiring the Commission to assess and collect regulatory fees to recover the costs of carrying out its activities in the total amounts provided for in Appropriations Acts).
and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, we adopt a regulatory fee schedule for fiscal year (FY) 2026 to assess and collect $416,112,000, which is an amount that reasonably can be expected to total the Commission’s FY 2026 salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation. Title V — Independent Agencies, Federal Communications Commission, Salaries and Expenses Division of Division E — Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2026, of H.R. 7148 - Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, Pub. L. No. 119-75 (Feb. 3, 2026) (FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act).
By statute, the Commission must collect these regulatory fees by the end of September. 47 U.S.C. § 159.

2. In April, the Commission proposed a regulatory fee schedule for FY 2026. Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2026, MD Docket No. 26-94, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-25 (rel. Apr. 28, 2026) (FY 2026 NPRM).  Appendix I contains a list of commenters that addressed the FY 2026 NPRM.
Consistent with the Commission’s longstanding regulatory fee methodology and the record gathered, we adopt most of the proposals in the FY 2026 NPRM to increase the number of full time equivalents (FTEs) One FTE, a “Full Time Equivalent” or “Full Time Employee,” is a unit of measure equal to the work performed annually by a full-time person (working a 40-hour work week for a full year) assigned to the particular job, and subject to agency personnel staffing limitations established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.  See generally Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, Circular No. A-11, Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget (August 2025).  See section 85.5(c) for a detailed explanation of how FTEs are calculated.  Thus, in this proceeding, if we state 1.5 FTEs work on a particular subject matter, that might mean three individuals spend 50% of their time on that area.  Moreover, in this Report and Order, when we discuss FTEs and any change in allocation, it is solely for regulatory fee purposes and does not reflect the change of personnel in the various organizational work units.
allocated directly to the core licensing bureaus for FY 2026.  In particular, we adopt the proposals to reallocate 61 FTEs from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct FTEs to the Commission’s core licensing bureaus because the work of those FTEs is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors such that the burden of that work should be considered in applying our regulatory fee methodology.  But, after careful review, we decline to adopt the FY 2026 NPRM proposal to subtract two FTEs from the Media Bureau’s direct allocation and also conclude it is appropriate to reallocate one additional FTE from the Office of General Counsel as direct to the Media Bureau.  We will, however, continue to treat all FTEs in the Office of Engineering and Technology, Enforcement Bureau, and Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau as indirect.  We also adopt the Commission’s proposal for the calculation of television broadcaster regulatory fees, as adjusted, and where appropriate, adjust our appendices in response to company- and industry-specific facts put forward by certain commenters.  We implement these determinations and adopt a schedule of regulatory fees, as set forth in Appendices A and B.
3. Finally, we decline to adopt any of the commenters’ various proposals to depart from our well-established assessment methodology to lessen fees for regulatees in certain industry sectors, which would unfairly shift the burden of regulatory fees to other fee payors, or to implement new fee categories that were largely considered and rejected by the Commission as recently as last year, particularly since commenters have provided no basis to change the Commission’s prior determinations.  Nor do we alter the data source used for assessing regulatory fees on Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers, and we also decline to change the de minimis threshold of $1,000.
I. BACKGROUND
4. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Act and the Commission’s FY 2026 S&E appropriation, we are required to collect $416,112,000, in regulatory fees. FY 2026 started on October 1, 2025, and ends on September 30, 2026.  The regulatory fee collection is guided by both the statutory authority in sections 6 and 9 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 156, 159, and the explicit language of each fiscal year’s S&E appropriation directing the amount to be collected as an offsetting collection.  FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act (appropriating “[f]or necessary expenses of the Federal Communications Commission, as authorized by law, … $416,112,000, to remain available until September 30, 2029: Provided, That $416,112,000, of offsetting collections shall be assessed and collected pursuant to section 9 of title I of the Communications Act of 1934, shall be retained and used for necessary expenses and shall remain available until September 30, 2029: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated shall be reduced as such offsetting collections are received during fiscal year 2026 so as to result in a final fiscal year 2026 appropriation estimated at $0”).
Regulatory fees cover the Commission’s non-auctions direct, Direct costs are those such as salaries and expenses.  See, e.g., Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees; Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2024, MD Docket Nos. 24-85 and 24-86, Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd 10140, 10143-44, para. 5 (2024) (FY 2024 Second Report and Order).
indirect, Indirect costs are those such as overhead functions as well as those covering statutorily required tasks that do not directly equate with oversight and regulation of a particular fee payor but instead benefit the Commission and the industry as a whole.  Id.
and support Support costs include those such as rent, utilities, and equipment.  Id.
costs. Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2021, MD Docket No. 21-190, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 36 FCC Rcd 12900, 12991, para. 2 (2021) (FY 2021 Report and Order).
Since regulatory fees must recover the total amount of the Commission’s S&E appropriation for the fiscal year, they also must cover the costs incurred in oversight and regulation of:  (1) entities that are statutorily exempt from paying regulatory fees; Entities that are exempt from paying regulatory fees include governmental and nonprofit entities, amateur radio operators, and noncommercial radio and television stations.  See 47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(1); 47 CFR § 1.1162.  The Commission has previously observed that it is consistent with the Act to include those costs that are attributable to the fee paying and exempt regulatees in the revenue requirement because all of the regulatees in that fee category, whether they pay regulatory fees or not, benefit from the oversight and regulation of that bureau.  Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2019, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 34 FCC Rcd 8189, 8196-97, para. 19 (2019) (FY 2019 Report and Order).
(2) entities whose total assessed annual regulatory fees fall below the annual de minimis threshold; 47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(2).  Section 9(e)(2) of the Act provides: “If, in the judgment of the Commission, the cost of collecting a regulatory fee established under this section from a party would exceed the amount collected from such party, the Commission may exempt such party from paying such fee.”  Id.  The Commission set the annual de minimis threshold to $1,000 in 2017.  Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2017, MD Docket No. 17-134, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 32 FCC Rcd 7057, 7073, para. 40 (2017) (FY 2017 Report and Order).  In the FY 2022 Report and Order, the Commission reviewed the de minimis threshold, calculated the average cost of collecting regulatory fees, and determined that the average cost of collection has not increased above the previously established $1,000 de minimis threshold.  Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2022, Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees, MD Docket Nos. 22-223 and 22-301, Report and Order and Notice of Inquiry, 37 FCC Rcd 10845, 10876-78, paras. 61-65 (2022) (FY 2022 Report and Order).
and (3) entities whose regulatory fees are waived. 47 U.S.C. § 159(d); 47 CFR § 1.1166.  We take into consideration the relatively small number of waivers, exemptions, and non-payors in our calculations each year so that we can recover the full amount of our S&E appropriation.
The Commission has no discretion regarding the amount of fees to be collected in any given fiscal year.
5. Congress has prescribed a method for the Commission to collect the full S&E appropriation by keying our regulatory fee assessment to our FTE burden. See 47 U.S.C. § 159(d).
The methodology for assessing regulatory fees must “reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.” Id.
Thus, the fee assigned to each regulatory fee category relates to the FTE burden associated with oversight and regulation of each regulatory fee category by the relevant core bureaus The phrase “core bureaus” was first used in 2012 by the Commission to explain that, under (prior) section 9(b)(1)(A) of the Communications Act, the Commission was instructed to calculate regulatory fees by determining the FTEs performing the activities enumerated in section 9(a)(1) of the Communications Act within the Private Radio Bureau, Mass Media Bureau, Common Carrier Bureau, and other offices of the Commission.  Procedures for Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, MD Docket Nos. 12-201 and 08-65, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 27 FCC Rcd 8458, 8460, para. 5 & n.5 (2012) (FY 2012 Regulatory Fee Reform NPRM).  While the functions of oversight and regulation remain the same, the names of the core bureaus have changed with time.
(i.e., the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, the Media Bureau, most of the Wireline Competition Bureau, Since 2017, the Commission concluded that allocating the work of FTEs in the Wireline Competition Bureau devoted to non-high-cost Universal Service Fund programs as indirect is consistent with how FTEs working for programs that benefit consumers and the American public are treated elsewhere in the Commission.  See FY 2017 Report and Order, 32 FCC Rcd at 7061-64, paras. 10-15; see also Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2023, Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees, MD Docket Nos. 23-159 and 23-301, Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd 8071, 8090, para. 50 (2023) (FY 2023 Report and Order).  Moreover, in the non-high-cost universal service fund programs, the E-Rate, Lifeline, and Rural Health Care programs tie funding eligibility based on the beneficiary, i.e., a school, a library, a low-income individual or family, or a rural healthcare provider and not to Commission regulatory fee payors.  See id. at 8090, para. 50.  Thus, the burden of FTE time devoted to non-high-cost Universal Service Fund programs is properly categorized as indirect.  See id. at 8092, para. 55.  In 2022, the Commission further determined to exclude broadcasters from the fee burden associated with these indirect FTEs because broadcasters do not directly participate in the universal service programs.  Id. at 8090-92, paras. 50-55 (explaining that beginning in the FY 2022 Report and Order, “Media Services” licensees were excluded from recovery of the funds associated with the indirect FTEs who work on non-high-cost Universal Service Fund issues).  In its annual analysis of FTE time, after deducting the burden of this indirect FTE work from the calculation of the direct FTEs allocated to the Wireline Competition Bureau, staff apportions these FTEs as indirect among all fee payors except broadcasters.  Id. at 8091, para. 51.
part of the Office of International Affairs, and most of the Space Bureau In the FY 2024 Second Report and Order, the Commission analyzed the reorganization of the International Bureau into the new Space Bureau and the new Office of International Affairs (OIA) to determine whether any of their FTEs should be attributed directly to a particular category of regulatory fee payor.  FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd 10154-65, paras. 19-45.  Historically, all but 28 of the FTEs of the International Bureau were considered indirect.  See, e.g., Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2013, MD Docket Nos. 13-140, 12-201, and 08-65, Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd 12351, 12355-56, para. 14 (2013) (FY 2013 Report and Order).  In 2024, the Commission concluded that given the nature of their work, 48 of the 54 FTEs in the Space Bureau should be categorized as direct and six as indirect.  FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10154, para. 20.  The Commission further explained that, as was the case prior to reorganization, most of the work of OIA, including the work of the Global Strategies and Negotiation Division, does not benefit a specific fee payor, but rather the government as whole, and is therefore appropriately categorized as indirect.  Id. at 10164, para. 43.  However, the Commission continued to categorize as direct the FTE work of OIA concerning international bearer circuit issues, including the services provided over submarine cables, determining that there were eight FTEs within OIA whose work was direct on that basis.  Id. at 10165, para. 45.  In 2025, before reallocations, 49 FTEs in the Space Bureau were categorized as direct, as well as eight FTEs within OIA.  See Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2025, MD Docket No. 25-190, Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd 7557, 7570, para. 35 (2025) (FY 2025 Report and Order).
).
6. The total amount of the offsetting collection generally changes each fiscal year.  Therefore, the regulatory fees due from fee payors also typically change as a mathematical consequence of the total amount that needs to be collected, the number of FTEs, and the projected unit estimates for each regulatory fee category. Section 9(c)(1)(B) of the Communications Act contemplates such changes to the fee schedule necessary to result in the collection of the amount required by subsection 159(b).  47 U.S.C. § 159(c)(1)(B).  For example, if the number of units in a regulatory fee category increase, the amount due per unit may decrease, depending on other factors.  This would also include proportionate increases in a given fee category to reflect an overall increase in the annual FY appropriation.  It is rare, however, for the Commission to solely propose adjustments under section 9(c) of the Communications Act.  Such changes under section 9(c) of the Communications Act fall under the section 9A(b)(1) congressional notification requirements.  47 U.S.C. §§ 159A(b)(1), 159(c).
Insofar as the Communication Act’s explicit language requires that fees must reflect FTEs, the Commission has consistently concluded that FTE counts are the most administrable starting point for regulatory fee allocations, Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2019, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 34 FCC Rcd 8189, 8193, para. 8 (2019) (FY 2019 Report and Order).
and our regulatory fees are based on the direct FTEs in core bureaus. Id. at 8192-93, paras. 7-9.  Our prior decisions to add to, delete from, or amend the regulatory fee schedule are instructive of the detailed analysis that generally accompanies a change to the FTE allocation as direct or indirect, the attribution of FTEs to a regulatory fee category, and the allocation of fees within a regulatory fee category based on the unit measure adopted.
Thus, when considering changes, additions, or deletions to the regulatory fee schedule, we focus on the direct FTE cost burden related to the regulatory fee category at issue within each of the core licensing bureaus. FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 12999, para. 17.  Changes under section 9(d) of the Communications Act fall under the section 9A(b)(2) 90-day notification to Congress.  47 U.S.C. §§ 159A(b)(2), 159(d).

7. FTEs are not assigned within a bureau to specific fee categories “by rote or at random, but rather in a manner that reflects the time spent by FTEs on a regulatory fee category, which is in itself a reflection of ‘benefit’ to the fee category.” Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees, Report and Order and Notice of Inquiry, 37 FCC Rcd 10845, 10847, para. 3 & n. 18 (2022) (FY 2022 Report and Order) (citing Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2007, MD Docket No. 07-81, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 22 FCC Rcd 15712, 15719, para. 19 (2007) (“Section 9 is clear, however, that regulatory fee assessments are based on the burden imposed on the Commission, not benefits realized by regulatees.”)).
We apportion regulatory fees across fee categories based on the number of direct FTEs in each core bureau to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the payors’ benefits. FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8193, para. 9.
Any decrease to the fees paid by one category of regulatory fee payors necessitates an increase in fees paid by other categories of regulatory fee payors, which means the collection of the Commission’s regulatory fees is a zero-sum exercise. Id. at 8195, para. 16.

8. The Commission allocates FTEs according to the nature of the work performed by its different organizational units.  If FTE work directly relates to the oversight and regulation of a regulatory fee category in one of the five core licensing bureaus then it is considered to be direct. Id. at 8195, para. 14 (“We have long relied on direct FTE allocations because the Commission has found those allocations best reflect the ‘benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.’”) (internal citation omitted); 2012 Regulatory Fee Reform NPRM, 27 FCC Rcd at 8461, para. 8 (“The Commission allocates FTEs according to the nature of the employees’ work.  If the work performed by an employee can be assigned to a regulatory fee category in one of the four core licensing bureaus—Wireless Telecommunications, Media, Wireline Competition, and International—that employee’s time is counted as a direct FTE.  If the work cannot be assigned to one of the bureau’s designated fee categories, the employee’s time is counted as an indirect FTE.”); FY 2014 Report and Order, 29 FCC Rcd at 10768, para. 2 (explaining the reliance on direct FTEs for purposes of determining regulatory fee calculations).	
Work that cannot be allocated to one of those regulatory fee categories is counted as indirect FTE time. See, e.g., FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7567, para. 25; see also FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8076, para. 7.

9. Indirect FTE time covers a wide range of issues that include services that are not specifically correlated with one core bureau, let alone one specific category of regulatory fee payors.Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2015, MD Docket No. 15-121, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 30 FCC Rcd 10268, 10275-76, paras. 16-17 (2015) (FY 2015 Report and Order).
Many Commission attorneys, economists, engineers, analysts, and other staff perform work during a single fiscal year, which generally benefits the telecommunications industry and the public as opposed to matters that are specific to any regulatory fee category. See FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 13001, para. 22.
The Commission has categorized FTE work conducted in the Enforcement, Consumer and Governmental Affairs, and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureaus along with some of the work in the Wireline Competition Bureau, See supra note 17.
the Space Bureau, and the Office of International Affairs The Commission reallocated all the authorities and functions of the (former) International Bureau to the new Space Bureau and a new Office of International Affairs (OIA).  The Commission previously reallocated some of the FTEs in the former International Bureau and the Wireline Competition Bureau from direct to indirect for regulatory fee purposes due to the nature of their work assignments.  See, e.g., FY 2017 Report and Order , 32 FCC Rcd at 7061-64, paras. 10-15; see also Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Rees for Fiscal Year 2020, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 35 FCC Rcd 4976, 4991, para. 33 (2020) (FY 2020 NPRM), aff’d, Telesat Canada, et al. v. FCC, 999 F.3d 707 (D.C. Cir. 2021) (Telesat).
as well as the work of those in the Office of the Chair and the Commissioners’ Offices and in the Offices of the Managing Director, General Counsel, Inspector General, Communications Business Opportunities, Engineering and Technology, Legislative Affairs, Workplace Diversity, Media Relations, Economics and Analytics, and Administrative Law Judges as indirect for regulatory fee purposes. See, e.g., FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 12994, para. 8; see also FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7560, para. 6.

10. The Commission assesses the allocation of FTEs to regulatory fee payors by first determining the number of direct non-auctions FTEs in each of the Commission’s core bureaus. See FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8193, paras. 8-9; FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 12991-92, para. 3.  Other factors the Commission takes into consideration include the annual S&E appropriation and the projected unit estimates.
Following this framework, early in each fiscal year, the Human Resources Management office identifies FTEs at the core bureau level.  We then validate that data through consultation with the bureaus and offices to determine the number of direct FTEs allocated to each of the five core bureaus.  Those numbers are then used to calculate the corresponding percentage of the total amount of regulatory fees to be collected for a given fiscal year from the fee payors of each core bureau. The percentage for each core bureau is the number of direct non-auction FTEs within the core bureau divided by the total number of direct non-auction FTEs in the Commission.

11. This means fees are apportioned across the regulatory fee categories based on the number of direct FTEs in each core bureau whose time is focused on a particular industry segment and are adjusted “to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.” FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8195, para. 14.
Specifically, we allocate appropriated amounts to be recovered proportionally based on the number of direct FTEs within each core bureau. As a general matter, there is no additional calculation to attribute indirect costs.  Instead, the proportional allocation of the whole S&E appropriation based on the number of direct FTEs effectively attributes all indirect costs among the core bureaus so that the Commission can recover its entire appropriation each year.
Those proportions are then subdivided and apportioned within each core bureau into fee categories among those served based on the time spent on each fee category. Notably, the agency is not required to calculate its costs with “scientific precision.”  Central & Southern Motor Freight Tariff Ass’n v. United States, 777 F.2d 722, 736 (D.C. Cir. 1985).  Reasonable approximations will suffice.  Id.; Mississippi Power & Light v. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comm’n, 601 F.2d 223, 232 (5th Cir. 1979); National Cable Television Ass’n v. FCC, 554 F.2d 1094, 1105 (D.C. Cir. 1976).  See also FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10159, para. 31.  To the extent that changes in FTE direct or indirect allocations impact the Commission’s determinations of regulatory fee calculations with reasonable certainty for the fiscal year, it will explain its actions in a Report and Order with respect to any organizational or FTE reallocations.  For example, the Commission reassigned staff to the Office of Economics and Analytics, effective December 11, 2018, resulting in the reassignment of 95 FTEs (of which 64 were not auctions-funded) as indirect FTEs.  See Establishment of the Office of Economics and Analytics, Order, 33 FCC Rcd 1539 (2018).  This reassignment resulted in a reduction in direct FTEs in the Wireline Competition Bureau, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and Media Bureau.  That same year, the Commission reassigned Equal Employment Opportunity enforcement staff from the Media Bureau to the Enforcement Bureau, effective March 15, 2019, resulting in a reduction of seven direct FTEs in the Media Bureau as reflected in the regulatory fee proceeding that year.  See Transfer of EEO Audit and Enforcement Responsibilities to Enforcement Bureau, Public Notice, 34 FCC Rcd 1370 (EB 2019); FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8194, para. 11.  The organizational changes in the Space Bureau and the Office of International Affairs became effective in the second half of FY 2023 on April 13, 2023, with the increase in direct FTEs in the Space Bureau first reflected in the FY 2024 regulatory fees for space and earth stations.  FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10142-43, 10151-52, paras. 2, 16 (implementing for regulatory fee purposes the reallocation of FTEs from the former International Bureau to the Space Bureau and the Office of International Affairs, effective for FY 2024).
Finally, within each regulatory fee category, the amount to be collected is divided by a unit count that allocates the regulatory fee payor’s proportionate share based on an objective measure.
12. The FTE time devoted to developing and implementing the Commission’s spectrum auctions is not included in the calculation of regulatory fees and is not offset by the collection of regulatory fees. 47 U.S.C. § 309(j)(8)(B) (providing that “the salaries and expenses account of the Commission shall retain as an offsetting collection such sums as may be necessary from such proceeds for the costs of developing and implementing the program required by this subsection”).  Each year, Congress provides a cap on such offsetting collection.  FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Sec. 504, at 77-78 (“That, notwithstanding 47 U.S.C. 309(j)(8)(B), proceeds from the use of a competitive bidding system that may be retained and made available for obligation shall not exceed $132,681,000 for fiscal year 2026”).  We are referring to spectrum auctions FTEs when we use the terms “auctions FTEs” and “non-auctions FTEs.”
Thus, the Commission’s methodology excludes all spectrum auction-related FTEs and their overhead from the regulatory fee calculations. FY 2019 NPRM, 34 FCC Rcd at 3276-77, para. 10.  To the extent that FTEs within the core bureaus spend a portion of their time on auctions issues and a portion of their time on other issues, their time is split and only the non-auctions portion of their time is reflected in the relevant core bureau’s direct FTE count.  See FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 12999-13000, para. 20.

13. In order to collect regulatory fees in the amount required by our annual S&E appropriation, the Commission conducts a rulemaking proceeding each year to consider any necessary increases or decreases in the number of units subject to the payment of such fees and to reflect any adjustments needed to the prior year’s fees schedule. 47 U.S.C. § 159(c).  For example, if the number of units within a regulatory fee category increase, the amount due per unit may decrease.  This would also include proportionate increases in a given fee category to reflect an overall increase in the annual FY appropriation.  Such changes are rarely the subject of dispute and are usually addressed in the more ministerial changes to the fee schedule.
As necessary, the Commission will also propose amendments to the fee schedule “if it determines that changes are necessary for the fees to reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.” Id. § 159(d).
Pursuant to the Act, the Commission must notify Congress immediately upon adoption of any adjustment. Id. § 159A(b)(1).
The Act also requires the Commission to notify Congress at least 90 days prior to making effective any amendments to the regulatory fee schedule. Id. § 159A(b)(2).

14. The Commission considers the adoption of a new regulatory fee category or a change in an existing regulatory fee category only when it develops a sufficient basis for making the change, ensuring that our assessment of regulatory fees is fair, administrable, and sustainable. Since 2012, the Commission has had the overarching goals that its regulatory fees be “fair, administrable, and sustainable.”  Procedures for Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 27 FCC Rcd 8458, 8464-65, paras. 14-16 (2012) (first proposing the goals and providing explanations for the meaning of “fairness,” “administrability,” and “sustainability”); see also 2020 Application Fee Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd at 15089-90, 15091-92, paras. 1, 6 & n.11.  The concept of administrability includes the difficulty in collecting regulatory fees under a system that could have unpredictable dramatic shifts in assessed fees in certain categories from year to year.  Application of our overarching program goals must comport with the language of the statute, and in adopting our fee schedule, we are mindful of other general limits of fee authority.  See National Cable Television Ass’n v. United States, 415 U.S. 336, 340-41 (1974) (construing Independent Offices Appropriations Act) (IOAA)); see also National Cable Television Ass’n v. FCC, 554 F.2d 1094, 1106 & n.42 (D.C. Cir. 1976).  While IOAA no longer applies to the Commission, we remain cognizant of broader legal issues raised by user fee and/or regulatory fee precedent.  See House of Representatives Report No. 99-453 (1985) at page 433 (noting the significance of National Cable and explaining that IOAA no longer applies to the Commission with the passage of other specific fee authority, application fees, in COBRA-85).
The Commission will adopt new regulatory fee categories and new methodologies for calculating regulatory fees when there is a sufficient basis for doing so based on the record, and under the relevant statutory provisions and precedent. For example, in 2015, after reviewing the issue over several years, the Commission added Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) as a subcategory of the cable television and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) fee category to the regulatory fee schedule, based on the oversight and regulation of this industry by Media Bureau FTEs.  FY 2015 Report and Order, 30 FCC Rcd at 10276-77, paras. 19-20; Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2015, MD Docket No. 15-121, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 30 FCC Rcd 5354, 5358, para. 9 (2015) (FY 2015 NPRM); FY 2013 NPRM, 28 FCC Rcd at 7810-11, paras. 50-52.  In the FY 2021 Report and Order, the Commission placed all DBS, cable television, and IPTV providers in the same fee category at the same per subscriber regulatory fee.  See FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 13004-05, para. 28.  In 2020, the Commission included non-U.S. licensed space stations with U.S. market access grants in the existing “Space Stations” fee category.  FY 2020 NPRM, 35 FCC Rcd at 4979-91, paras. 7-34.  The Commission concluded that assessing the same regulatory fees on non-U.S. licensed space stations with U.S. market access as assessed on U.S. licensed space stations would better reflect the benefits received by these operators, i.e., the adjudicatory, enforcement, regulatory, and international coordination activities by the Commission’s FTEs in the International Bureau.  Id. at 4980-81, paras. 10-11.  On appeal, the D.C. Circuit upheld the Commission’s decision in Telesat, noting that “[i]t is undeniable that foreign satellites and their operators do benefit from the Commission’s regulation in much the same way as their U.S.-licensed counterparts” and the Commission “reviews petitions for market access by foreign-licensed satellites to ensure legal compliance with this carefully coordinated system” for all U.S. market participants.  Telesat, 999 F.3d at 711.  In particular, the D.C. Circuit noted that the Commission “devotes significant resources” to processing petitions from non-U.S. licensed space stations to access the U.S. market; that non-U.S. licensed space stations “benefit from the Commission’s oversight and regulation in the same manner” as U.S. licensed space stations; and that processing a petition from a non-U.S. licensed space station operator “requires evaluation of the same legal and technical information as required of U.S. licensed applicants.”  Id. at 710-12.

II. DISCUSSION
15. We received 12 comments and four reply comments in response to the Commission’s FY 2026 NPRM. See Appendix I.
As generally supported by the record, and as explained below, we adopt the Commission’s proposals in the FY 2026 NPRM to reallocate 61 FTEs from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct FTEs to the Commission’s core licensing bureaus.  We base these reallocations on our determination with reasonable certainty for the fiscal year 2026 that the work of those FTEs is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors such that the burden of that work should be considered in applying our regulatory fee methodology. See FY 2026 NPRM at paras. 19-26.
After further review, and based on those same determinations, we also decline to adopt the FY 2026 NPRM proposal to reallocate two direct FTEs from Media Bureau as indirect and conclude it is appropriate to reallocate one additional FTE from the Office of General Counsel as direct to the Media Bureau.
16. Additionally, we adopt our proposal to continue to calculate television broadcaster regulatory fees using the Commission’s methodology of population-based full-service broadcast television regulatory fees.  Furthermore, we will continue using Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) assigned number data as the basis for assessing regulatory fees on Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers.  We also adjust our appendices in response to company- and industry-specific facts put forward by certain commenters.  Finally, we will continue to utilize a $1,000 de minimis threshold because we conclude our average cost of collections does not exceed that amount.
17. Consistent with the Commission’s past practice, however, we decline to reallocate other FTE work performed in the non-core bureaus, and we conclude such work is appropriately considered to be indirect. FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7567-68, para. 25; see also Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2025, MD Docket No. 24-86, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 40 FCC Rcd 4467, 4479, paras. 26-27 (2025) (FY 2025 NPRM).
Moreover, commenters have presented no new arguments for our consideration to support their suggestions to adopt new fee categories, and we therefore reaffirm the Commission’s repeated conclusion that additional proposed fee categories are not workable or logistically feasible at this time. See FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7558, 7575-84, paras. 4, 44-68.
We will also continue the Commission’s current approach to assessing space and earth station regulatory fees until the newly adopted Part 100 rules become effective and replace the existing rules governing satellite communications contained in Part 25, and until we have had an opportunity to seek comment on how those rules should be considered in applying our regulatory fee methodology. Space Modernization for the 21st Century, SB Docket No. 25-306, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-47 (rel. July 23, 2026).

18. Accordingly, using the Commission’s historical methodology for allocating FTEs, we adopt a regulatory fee schedule for FY 2026 as set forth in Appendices A and B to assess and collect $416,112,000, which is an amount that reasonably can be expected to total our annual S&E FY 2026 appropriation. 47 U.S.C. §§ 156, 159.

A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees
1. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees
19. Section 9 of the Communications Act requires us to set regulatory fees to “reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.” 47 U.S.C. § 159(d).
As a general matter, our methodology to establish our regulatory fee schedule is to first identify changes from the prior fiscal year regulatory fee proceeding, e.g., changes in the (i) FY S&E appropriation, (ii) FTE levels, and (iii) relevant unit measures for each regulatory fee category.  After that, we identify the number of direct non-auction FTEs in each core bureau for purposes of the regulatory fee calculation. The remaining non-auction FTEs are considered indirect and are not part of the regulatory fee calculation.
Once we determine the number of direct FTEs for each core bureau, we calculate the percentage of regulatory fees that we will need to collect for the given fiscal year from each regulatory fee category within each core bureau.  These proportional calculations allocate all Commission non-auction related costs across all regulatory fee categories.
2. FTE Allocations
20. For FY 2026, we implement the same methodology that the Commission has historically used to allocate FTEs.  To conduct our annual review of regulatory fees for FY 2026, we began by evaluating the work being performed by Commission FTEs.  According to information provided by our Human Resources Management office, at the start of FY 2026, there were 317.5 direct non-auctions FTEs distributed among the core licensing bureaus.  With respect to other bureaus and offices within the Commission, staff next conducted a high-level, yet comprehensive, analysis of the work being performed by non-auctions FTEs in the Office of Economics and Analytics, Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as well as the Office of Engineering and Technology, the Enforcement Bureau, and the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (and other bureaus and offices) in order to determine whether with reasonable certainty for the fiscal year 2026 any identifiable time of the FTEs in those organizational units is directly related to the oversight and regulation of fee payors such that it should be considered in applying our fee methodology.  In other words, we examined and validated the FTE data through consultation with the bureaus and offices to determine whether in applying our regulatory fee methodology any FTE time in the non-core bureaus and offices should be considered to be reallocated as direct FTE time to a core bureau.
3. Adjustment of Reallocations of Certain Indirect FTEs as Direct FTEs
21. Although we continue to conclude that much of the work of the FTEs in the Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is appropriately considered indirect, in validating the FTE count for FY 2026, we again find the data support a conclusion that there is measurable FTE time devoted to work that is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors such that the burden of that work should be allocated as direct to a core bureau for regulatory fee purposes. See, e.g., FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8081-87, paras. 24-46.
Moreover, commenters generally support our efforts to ensure that regulatory fees reflect the work performed by Commission FTEs that benefits fee payors. See, e.g., CTIA Comments at 3; NAB Comments 3-4.
Likewise, no commenter objects to our proposed reallocations from Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.  We therefore adopt most of our proposals to reallocate 61 FTEs from the Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct FTEs to core bureaus because the nature of their work has been determined to be primarily related to the oversight and regulation of fee payors. See FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8081-83, paras. 24-30 (discussion of OEA FTEs).  The reallocations adopted in this proceeding do not alter the functions of and delegation of authority to OEA.  47 CFR §§ 0.21 (OEA functions); 0.271 (OEA delegation); FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10849, 10856, paras. 6 and 20 (noting the FTE allocation of OGC); see also FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8083-84, paras. 31-34 (discussion of OGC FTEs).  Similarly, these reallocations do not alter the functions of and delegation of authority to OGC.  47 CFR §§ 0.41 (OGC functions); 0.251 (OGC delegation); FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8084-87, paras. 35-46 (discussion of PSHSB FTEs).  Nor do the reallocations alter the functions of and delegation of authority to PSHSB.  47 CFR §§ 0.191 (PSHSB functions); 0.392 (PSHSB delegation).
With respect to the Office of General Counsel, however, we conclude that one additional FTE should be allocated as direct.  Additionally, we decline to adopt the FY 2026 NPRM proposal to reallocate two direct FTEs from Media Bureau as indirect.  These reallocations result in an increase of 62 FTEs being reallocated as direct FTEs to core bureaus.
22. In the FY 2026 NPRM, we proposed to reallocate two FTEs as indirect from the Media Bureau because such FTE work is devoted to enforcement responsibilities. FY 2026 NPRM at para 22. 
Our proposal was based on a rationale first articulated in 2023. Id. (citing FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd. at 8905, para. 70).
This rationale, however, acknowledged that the enforcement actions taken by the Media Bureau are associated with the Bureau’s administration of the licensing programs for television and radio, rather than from an enforcement investigation. FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd. at 8905 n.126.
On review, we find that this work directly benefits the Media Bureau fee payors.  As a result, reallocation of such FTE time as indirect would not be consistent with the statute 47 U.S.C. § 159(d).
nor with our overarching goals that our regulatory framework is fair, administrable, and sustainable.  Furthermore, in reviewing our FTE allocations, we were presented with the fact that the Media Bureau has experienced staff reductions that required changes in work priorities which in turn made the measurement of this work to a degree of accuracy extremely difficult.  That conclusion coupled with our fresh look at the nature of the work lead to the conclusion that we lack a basis for making the reallocation.  Therefore, we decline to adopt our proposal.
23. Additionally, because the amount of work of FTEs in the Office of General Counsel devoted to Media Bureau matters has increased in this fiscal year, we reallocate an additional FTE to the Media Bureau as direct for this fiscal year.  We believe that this adjustment is fully consistent with our longstanding methodology, while offering a more precise and thus more equitable assessment of fees.  Although we make this adjustment based on staff validation of the data regarding FTE utilization, we note that it is in accordance with the State Broadcasters Associations’ “urg[ing] the Commission to conduct even more searching reviews of indirect FTE work going forward.” State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 12.

24. Specifically, for FY 2026, we reallocate 31 FTEs from the Office of Economics and Analytics as direct to a core bureau for regulatory fee purposes as follows: three to the Space Bureau, one to the Office of International Affairs, eight to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 17 to the Wireline Competition Bureau, and two to the Media Bureau. FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10152-53, para. 17 & n.72.
Similarly, as explained above, we reallocate four FTEs from the Office of General Counsel as direct FTEs to a core bureaus as follows: one to the Wireline Competition Bureau, one to the Space Bureau, In FY 2025, the Commission also found FTE time devoted to space and earth station matters such that one FTE was attributed as a direct FTE attributable to the Space Bureau.  FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7569, para. 30.
and two to the Media Bureau. FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10152-53, para. 17.
Likewise, we reallocate 27 FTEs in the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct to a core bureau as follows: 13 to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, eight to the Wireline Competition Bureau, and six to the Media Bureau. We note that the reallocations the Commission makes in its annual rulemaking are not cumulative but rather reflect changes in the underlying number of FTEs in the non-core bureaus and/or changes in the amount of work performed by the non-core bureaus for this fiscal year.

25. We base these reallocations on staff’s validation of the data and an analysis similar to the last three fiscal years evaluating whether measurable FTE time is primarily being spent on the regulation and oversight of regulatory fee payors such that it should be considered as direct to a core bureau. See, e.g., FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10151, para. 15.
As the Commission has previously explained, in discussing FTEs, we are not referring to any particular employee at the Commission but rather an amount of work performed annually by a full time employee or employees. Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2023 and Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees, MD Docket Nos. 23-159 and 22-301, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 38 FCC Rcd 4580, 4591 n.58 (FY 2023 NPRM).
In analyzing the work of FTEs, our staff applies conservative estimates so as not to imply a false sense of precision in the reallocations. Id.
Specifically, where the amount of work under consideration for reallocation of an indirect FTE is half an FTE or less, we round down, and we only implement reallocations in full FTE increments. Id.; FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8081, para. 22.

26. As represented below, FTE time associated with these reallocations is added to the direct FTE totals of the relevant core bureau.  In other words, these reallocations increase the number of direct FTEs in a core bureau and reduce the total number of indirect FTEs within the Commission.  Because our underlying methodology for calculating regulatory fees remains unchanged, we conclude that our regulatory fee calculation continues to be consistent with section 9 of the Communications Act, which requires us to base our methodology on the number of FTEs. 47 U.S.C. § 159(d) (“[T]he Commission shall by rule amend the schedule of regulatory fees established under this section if the Commission determines that the schedule requires amendment so that such fees reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.”).

27. The table below shows the percentage of regulatory fees allocated to each core bureau based on the reallocation of a net increase of 62 FTEs as direct to a core bureau.  These reallocations result in a 19.53% increase in our overall direct FTE count for the fiscal year.  These reallocations are proportionally distributed within the core bureau and are reflected in Appendices A and B, which are based on our existing methodology and incorporate these reallocations.

28. As reflected in the table above, based on these reallocations and after adjustments are made to the direct FTE counts to implement Commission precedent, See, e.g., supra note 17.
we have a total of 379.5 non-auctions direct FTEs for FY 2026.  Accordingly, as shown in the table directly below, we will collect approximately $9.909 million (2.38%) in fees from the Office of International Affairs regulatory fee payors; $52.851 million (12.70%) in fees from the Space Bureau regulatory fee payors; $112.308 million (26.99%) in fees from Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatory fee payors; $118.363 million (28.45%) in fees from Wireline Competition Bureau regulatory fee payors; and $122.681 million (29.48%) in fees from Media Bureau regulatory fee payors.

29. We reject requests to adjust our FTE analysis solely to benefit one category of regulatory fee payors and shift the fee burden to the other categories in the absence of reliable data upon which to base such a change.  In particular, Kepler and SES express concern about the increase in fees from FY 2025 for regulatees of the Space Bureau and ask the Commission “to place a moratorium on increasing the FY 2026 fees relative to those collected for FY 2025” or to “buffer increases” of the fees. Kepler Comments at 2; SES Comments at 3; see also Kepler Reply at 2-3.
Similarly, SCC and NASCA assert that the fee increase for regulatees of the Office of International Affairs is excessive and propose that the Commission “reduce the proposed submarine cable fees to a level commensurate with economic reality and the statutory boundaries the Commission must abide by” or “cap any increase at no more than 10 percent for FY 2026, with the revenue requirement in excess of the amount represented by the cap treated as the equivalent of indirect FTEs.” SCC Comments at 4; Letter from Kent Bressie, Counsel to the North American Submarine Cable Association, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, MD Docket No. 26-94, at 3 (filed June 24, 2026) (NASCA Ex Parte).
Furthermore, NAB contends that we should reduce the fee burden for earth stations by capping their fees to no more than $2,500 per earth station license, contending that such a result would be fair because broadcasters pay earth station regulatory fees in addition to the fees assessed for their broadcasting licenses, which unfairly compounds the financial burden on broadcasters. NAB Comments at 5-6; Letter from Sophia Gonzalez, Associate General Counsel, Legal and Regulatory Affairs, National Association of Broadcasters, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, MD Docket No. 26-94, at 2 (filed June 16, 2026) (NAB Ex Parte).
NAB recommends that we shift the burden to other Space Bureau regulatory fee payors, namely NGSO satellite operators. Id.

30. Although we are mindful of concerns raised by these commenters that our regulatory fees need to be predictable and not prone to excessive fluctuation, requests for special accommodation are not consistent with our statutory obligation to collect the Commission’s entire appropriation this fiscal year.  Such requests, as we have previously explained, are in essence requests to shift fees from one category of regulatory fee payors to other regulatory fee payors based not on the relative FTE burden, but on policy rationales. FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10174-80, paras. 67-77 (providing detailed history of prior regulatory fee reform including the need to correct validation issues identified by GAO in 2012 and why it would not justify a cap or phase in for earth station and satellite fees); FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8195, para. 16 (“[W]e disagree with the Satellite Operators that we should arbitrarily shift these fees onto other regulatees and keep satellite regulatory fees proportional to changes in our appropriations.”).  As the Commission explained in the FY 2024 Second Report and Order, in 2013, when the Commission phased in certain regulatory fees, it did so because it was updating its methodology to validate the extent to which the division of fees among industry sectors and fee categories correlated with the current division of FTEs among industry sectors and fee categories.  FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10174-80, paras. 67-77.  When regulatory fees went from an offsetting collection representing 38% of the Commission’s appropriation in 1994 to 100% of the appropriation starting in 2009, the Commission failed to update its FTE analysis.  Id. at 10176, para. 72.  In correcting this “serious flaw in its methodology” that was described in a 2012 GAO Report, and as part of a larger effort of fee reform, the Commission, as an interim measure, did not immediately flash cut to the new FTE allocation.  Id.  Instead, the Commission in 2013 imposed a cap on fee increases from FY 2012 to FY 2013.  Id.
In the FY 2024 Second Report and Order, in the context of rejecting similar requests, the Commission explained and distinguished adjustments undertaken over a decade before that were necessary to address validation flaws identified by GAO. Id. at para. 72 & n.225 (citing and quoting GAO, Federal Communications Commission, “Regulatory Fee Process Needs to be Updated,” Aug. 2012, GAO-12-686 at 11 (GAO Report) (“[F]or 13 years, FCC has not validated the extent to which its division of fees among industry sectors and fee categories correlates with its current division of FTEs among industry sectors and fee categories.”)); see also FY 2013 Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 12354, para. 8 (citing GAO Report).
Specifically, in 2012, GAO reported that the Commission used FTE data that was 13 years out of date. FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10176, para. 72.
In 2013, the Commission implemented a “multi-year program of reform” agency-wide “correcting the extraordinary error on the Commission’s part in applying a stale FTE count.” Id. at 10177, para. 73; see also id. at 10174-80, paras. 67-77 (denying requests to cap or phase in earth station and satellite fees).
  Commenters’ requests for accommodations in this fiscal year are therefore not analogous to that situation.  Instead, here, as we have explained in detail above, the FTE counts are validated annually and the regulatory fee increases for FY 2026 are due to the roughly 6.6% increase in the Commission’s overall fiscal year 2026 appropriation, changes in the direct FTEs working on space and earth station matters and submarine cable matters, and/or changes in the units of measure for these fee categories.  Thus, the FY 2026 regulatory fee increase is attributable directly to the requirements of following our statutory methodology—which include the benefit of oversight and regulation of our regulatory fee payors as measured by FTE levels. This should come as no surprise.  As the Commission expressed in 2024, the creation of the Space Bureau, which was approved by the White House Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Congressional Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate and was intended to better support United States leadership in the emerging space economy, would result in increased direct FTE levels for Space Bureau regulatory fee payors.  FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10180, para. 79 & n.258.  Senate Committee on Appropriations, Report 118-61, Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill, 2024, at 64 (July 13, 2023) (recognizing the Commission for supporting the growing U.S. satellite industry and supporting additional resources to ensure the timely review of license applications and related work of U.S. satellite systems).
NAB itself recognizes that the increase in fees for earth station fee payors is a function of the Commission’s methodology and the fact that the number of earth stations decreased while the percentage of the Commission’s appropriation attributable to the Space Bureau increased. NAB Comments at 6 (“NAB understands that the number of earth stations decreased from 4,000 in 2025 to 3,250 in 2026, and, because the revenue requirement apportioned to earth stations went up nearly 19 percent (approximately $1.5 million), the pro-rated fee for earth station licensees must inevitably rise.”).

31. As the Commission observed the last time it was asked to implement such measures, “because we must collect the full amount of the appropriation as an offsetting collection, decreasing the fee on any one category must be offset with an increased collection in another category.” FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10174, para. 67.
Section 9 of the Act prescribes a method of collecting an amount equal to the full S&E appropriation by keying the regulatory fee assessment to the Commission’s FTE burden.  As a result, the fee assigned to each regulatory fee category relates to the FTE burden associated with oversight and regulation of each regulatory fee category by the relevant core bureaus.  Section 9 does not provide any other basis for assessing regulatory fees or any basis for capping fees for a particular fiscal year, or phasing in increases in fees over several fiscal years, for a particular category or categories of fee payors.  We therefore decline to implement commenters’ suggestions in circumstances such as these where regulatory fees are based on direct FTEs to a core bureau, are consistent with our statutory congressional direction under section 9 of the Communications Act, and no other special extenuating circumstances for consideration exist. To the extent individual regulatees do not have an ability to pay regulatory fees, we remind them of existing processes to seek a waiver, reduction, or deferral of regulatory fees to mitigate the impact of regulatory fees when paying such fees would cause a hardship.  Section 9A(d) permits the Commission to waive, reduce, or defer payment of a regulatory fee and associated interest charges and penalties for good cause.  47 U.S.C. § 159A(d); 47 CFR § 1.1166.  See FY 2019 Report and Order 34 FCC Rcd at 7577-78, paras. 49-53 (providing a detailed discussion of the statutory requirement and the information that should be submitted with the request).  However, as the Commission has repeatedly noted, it interprets this provision narrowly to permit only those waivers “unambiguously articulating ‘extraordinary circumstances’ outweighing the public interest in recouping the cost of the Commission’s regulatory services for a particular regulatee.”  Id. (citing Implementation of Section 9 of the Communications Act, Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for the 1994 Fiscal Year, Report and Order, 9 FCC Rcd 5333, 5344, para. 29 (1994)).

4. Other FTEs of the Non-Core Bureaus and Offices Remain Indirect
32. After analyzing the data for FY 2026 as well as the record in this proceeding, we affirm the Commission’s prior conclusion that the majority of FTE work being performed in the non-core bureaus and offices should be categorized as indirect because it benefits the Commission and the entire telecommunications industry generally and does not specifically focus on regulatory fee payors. See, e.g., FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8092-99, paras. 57-76; see also FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7567-68, para. 25.
We reach this conclusion based on both the staff’s high level review of the work of FTEs in the non-core bureaus and offices and because no commenter provided any insight into our questions in the FY 2026 NPRM whether there had been any significant developments in the communications industry, changes in law, and/or substantial shifts in Commission policy and workload over the past year that demonstrates measurable FTE work is being performed in these organizational units that directly benefits a specific category of fee payors. FY 2026 NPRM at para. 30.
Notably, no commenter provided any examples of changes in the specific work performed by Commission staff that would necessitate a reevaluation of the Commission’s repeated determination that the work being performed by these FTEs is indirect.  Instead, commenters advocating for additional reallocations of FTEs from the non-core bureaus and offices simply repeat the same reasons that the Commission has previously rejected. See, e.g., FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7575-84, paras. 44-68.

33. NAB’s contention that the Commission should reallocate FTEs in non-core bureaus as direct even when those FTEs work on matters that also pertain to non-fee payors fails to consider the Commission’s repeated explanation that it takes a conservative approach to analyzing the workload of its FTEs and only reallocates an FTE as direct where the amount of work under consideration is more than half of an FTE. Id.; FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8081, para. 22.
NAB’s conclusory statements without any analysis do not warrant further examination by the Commission. NAB Comments at 4.
In sum, NAB offers no reasons why the Commission should expand its methodology to include FTEs that work primarily on matters that pertain to non-fee payors and provides no solutions regarding how to do so.
34. NAB also renews its criticism of the Commission’s well-established decision to treat FTEs working on non-high cost universal service fund issues, Id.
but fails to dispute the Commission’s long-held conclusion that such treatment is consistent with how it treats FTEs working for programs that benefit consumers and the American public elsewhere in the Commission. See supra note 17.
Likewise, NAB’s repetition of its 2022 comments arguing that the Commission should not include broadcasters in the allocation of FTEs associated with the Commission’s broadband data mapping work under the Broadband DATA Act NAB Comments at 4.
offers no new reasoning other than NAB’s continued disagreement with the Commission’s decision that the unique change in its methodology in 2021 to exclude Media Services licensees from their share in such costs was based on the one-time nature of a congressional earmark and had nothing to do with the Commission making a finding that “any group of regulatees do not benefit from broadband-related activities.” See FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10872-73, para. 52.

35. Finally, we disagree with NAB’s more general complaint that our FTE allocations are “opaque.” NAB Comments at 5.
While NAB applauds the Commission’s continued efforts to modernize its regulatory fee methodology, it nonetheless maintains that commenters are unable to participate in the Commission’s reallocation decisions. Id.
Contrary to NAB’s criticism, however, the Commission has made clear how commenters can contribute to the Commission’s assessment of annual regulatory fees and the basis for why the Commission may reallocate an FTE as direct to a core bureau.  See FY 2026 NPRM at para. 30.
In particular, the Commission specifically invites commenters, as we did again this year, “to offer any new or current reasons why the Commission should reexamine the nature of the work being performed by FTEs in its non-core bureaus and offices” and seeks specific input in the record regarding whether there have been “any significant developments in the communications industry, changes in law, and/or substantial shifts in Commission policy and workload over the past year” that reflect measurable FTE work being performed in the non-core bureaus and offices that may not have been considered.
36. Moreover, the claim that without more transparency, commenters cannot offer contributions that will impact the regulatory fee assessment process does not withstand scrutiny.  Indeed, the State Broadcasters Associations’ assertion “that the Commission imposes conditions upon commenters that cannot be met” is belied by its own reference to past instances where its comments affected the Commission’s allocations of FTEs. Compare State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 9-10 with id. at 13.
At the same time the State Broadcasters Associations complain that the Commission “demands that outside commenters bring evidence to it that they simply do not possess and will not possess unless it is provided to them by the Commission,” Id. at 13.
they trumpet their success in 2021 convincing the Commission to adjust its proposed FTE allocations due to the congressional earmark for the Broadband Data Act. Id. at 9-10.

37. As previously noted, the Commission strives to make the regulatory fee process, including the reallocations of FTEs in our methodology, fair, sustainable, and administrable.  The delegated authority of the Commission’s bureau and offices is well understood and documented, See 47 CFR §§ 0.201–0.392.
the regulatory work of these organizational units is both public and easily reviewed, and the Commission includes significant information about its performance, budgets, and policy objectives in the information it releases to satisfy numerous reporting requirements. See, e.g., 2024 Communications Marketplace Report, GN Docket No. 24-119, 39 FCC Rcd 14116 (2024).
Thus, commenters have access to both resources and data to challenge the Commission’s FTE allocations.  Rather than stepping into the Commission’s shoes to evaluate the Commission’s analysis of its own FTE data, commenters can contribute to the process by offering responses to the questions posed in the NPRM and evaluating issues the Commission should factor into its reallocation considerations.  In this regard, we find it notable that no commenter offered any insight into new or current reasons to reevaluate our FY 2026 NPRM FTE reallocation proposals. For the same reasons, we dismiss the State Broadcasters Associations’ characterization that our reallocations are merely “baseline” because they have not undergone dramatic shifts over the last several years, as well as their suggestion that further scrutiny by commenters could reveal that additional reallocations should be made.  State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 3, 11.  To the contrary, we conclude from the fact that our FTE reallocations are not prone to large fluctuations that the Commission’s methodology is serving its intended purpose.  As the Commission has explained, “fluctuations in the expectations associated with assessing regulatory fees would be difficult for both fee payors as well as the Commission.”  See, e.g., FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7572, para. 38.
Nevertheless, as a routine part of our proceeding, we make any necessary adjustments to our proposals to ensure that the final fiscal year FTE reallocations reflect, as accurately as possible, the work being done for the benefit of fee payors. See supra para. 23.

38. In sum, we conclude that NAB’s and the State Broadcasters Associations’ general requests to have more information from the Commission regarding our FTE data seek to impose a level of precision on the Commission’s reallocation process that does not align with our methodology. See supra note 37.  Instead, we continue to find that consistent with section 9 of the Act, our annual review of the work of FTEs is not a proceeding-by-proceeding examination of the Commission’s fluctuating workloads or based on a precise allocation of specific employees that have fluctuating work assignments throughout the year, but rather on a “higher-level approach” to determine whether there is measurable work that can be attributed to a specific category of existing fee payors.  FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8078, para. 14 (citing FY 2022 Report and Order 37 FCC Rcd at 10853, para. 15).
Each year in proposing FTE reallocations from indirect to direct, the Commission has provided notice of what organizational unit the FTE burden is being reallocated to and from. Notably, even the reallocation, by itself, provides insight into the type of measurable work being done on behalf of fee payors.  Commenters could therefore reasonably identify anomalies if, for example, a large number of FTEs were being reallocated to a core bureau that had been notably less active during the fiscal year.  See, e.g., FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8080-81, para. 21; FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10151-52, paras. 14-16.
Moreover, commenters have historical and detailed insight into the type of measurable FTE work the Commission has found warranted the reallocation of FTEs as direct to a core bureau. FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8080-81, para. 21.
We therefore conclude, as the Commission has in the past, that amending our methodology to include “added granularity” to our process like NAB and the State Broadcasters Associations request would not “change the overall result, or improve our regulatory fee methodology, but would simply consume more staff resources and increase the indirect FTE time devoted to regulatory fee administration.” FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10854, para. 17
Instead, our analysis is “most accurate when we look at the work of a larger group such as a division, office, or bureau, consistent with the language of section 9 of the Act to ensure that ‘fees reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission.’” Id. (quoting 47 U.S.C. § 159(d)).

39. We also reject the claims of commenters that the Commission must find ways to reduce the burden of indirect FTEs on fee payors that are based on arguments that the Commission has previously, and thoroughly, rejected. See, e.g., SES Comments at 2.
In particular, SES argues that the Commission should create new fee categories for “experimental licenses, unlicensed use, and automated frequency coordination systems” and even goes so far as to suggest the Commission should designate the Office of Engineering and Technology as a new core bureau—all without offering a single new reason for the Commission to consider doing so. Id.  We note that even this is not a new argument.  In the FY 2021 Report and Order, the Commission rejected commenters’ proposals to add new fee categories for unlicensed spectrum users and/or equipment manufacturers thereby declining under its existing methodology “to effectively transform OET into a “core bureau” and transform OET FTEs into direct FTEs.”  FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 13000, para. 21.  Specifically, NAB contended that the Commission should require users of spectrum on an unlicensed basis and/or equipment manufacturers to pay regulatory fees to support the Office of Engineering and Technology’s work on the management of spectrum for use on an unlicensed basis and authorization of equipment.  The Commission disagreed and declined to adopt NAB’s proposal to create one or more new regulatory fee payor categories consisting of users of spectrum on an unlicensed basis and/or equipment manufacturers.  Id.
As we explicitly explained in the FY 2026 NPRM, commenters were asked to provide “detailed evidence of materially changed circumstances, rather than reiterate[d] arguments that the Commission has historically declined to adopt.” FY 2026 NPRM at para. 36.
Instead, SES along with its supporting reply commenters—i.e., the State Broadcasters Associations State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 13.
and One Ministries See One Ministries Reply at 1 (suggesting that the Commission should “consider virtual MVPD (vMVPD) providers as equivalent to cable television providers that would be subject to the same regulatory fees”); State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 13-14 (seeking a new category for equipment certification labs).
—either repeat or slightly recast old arguments and fail to provide any material changed circumstances in support of their arguments.
40. For example, the State Broadcasters Associations suggest that we should adopt a new fee category for equipment certification labs because they contend such a category would be “remarkably similar to the ‘holds an FCC-issued authorization’ criterion that has served as the basis for charging regulatory fees to broadcasters and other legacy fee payors for the past several decades.” State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 13-14.
But, in making this argument, the State Broadcasters Associations notably avoid the more apt comparison to equipment authorizations—a category that the Commission has repeatedly declined to adopt.  It seems that having failed to convince the Commission that equipment authorizations should be added to the regulatory fees categories, the State Broadcasters Associations now try to convince us that a regulatory fee should apply to the test labs that provide equipment certifications to those seeking such authorizations from the Commission.  This would essentially backdoor the addition of equipment authorizations to the regulatory fee categories as testing labs would presumably pass those fees onto the manufacturers of the equipment they certify. FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8102, para. 87 (In 2023, the Commission fully explained that a fee category for equipment authorizations is not administrable because it “applies to the functionality of a particular device, not the production of each unit (i.e., an entity needs to complete the equipment authorization process only once for a device regardless of how many units of such devices are produced).  Thus, unlike licenses, equipment authorizations are obtained once and are not subject to validity for a defined time period.”).
The State Broadcasters Associations provide no explanation for why the Commission’s reasoning in declining to adopt a fee category for equipment authorizations is not equally applicable to laboratories that perform measurements of equipment subject to an equipment authorization (i.e., the State Broadcasters Associations’ “equipment certification labs”).  Although laboratories involved in the testing of equipment for Certification under the equipment authorization rules are subject to accreditation, recognition, and periodic reassessment, there is no correlation between these steps and how many devices a testing laboratory actually tests or, once those devices are certified by a Telecommunications Certification Body, how many units are actually produced.  Moreover, the State Broadcasters Associations provide no cognizable rationale why only testing laboratories and not the other entities involved in the equipment authorization process (e.g., the laboratory accreditation bodies that accredit a laboratory with a scope covering the measurements required for the types of equipment that it will test, and the Telecommunications Certification Bodies that are authorized to issue Certifications) would be subject to a fee payor classification, if such a classification were warranted for equipment authorization-related activities.  Thus, in neither instance would we be able to credit FTE resources to such issues.
41. Moreover, the State Broadcasters Associations do not address the very minimal nature of the Commission’s FTE work related to the recognition process for laboratories that perform measurements of equipment subject to an equipment authorization.  Although we acknowledge that in establishing certain rules related to these labs, some FTE time is devoted to adopting regulations that allow such labs to perform their functions for certain Commission licensees as well as other permittees, these efforts are limited and do not result in the work of FTEs being sufficient to subsequently assess fees year after year based on such a limited FTE burden.  Furthermore, such work represents only a subcomponent of the larger equipment authorization workstream.  For example, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and not the Commission manages the process of test lab accrediting and designating Telecommunications Certification Bodies in the U.S., whereas, the designation of third-party certification bodies located outside the U.S. are a matter of bi-lateral or multi-lateral international agreements, See 47 CFR § 2.960(c), (d); see also 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review – Amendment of Parts 2, 25 and 68 of the Commission's Rules to Further Streamline the Equipment Authorization Process for Radio Frequency Equipment, Modify the Equipment Authorization Process for Telephone Terminal Equipment, Implement Mutual Recognition Agreements and Begin Implementation of the Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS) Arrangements, GEN Docket No. 98-68, Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 24687, 24698, para. 25 (1998).
which would make requiring such entities to pay regulatory fees an international policy concern (were we to find a basis to subject equipment authorization activities to regulatory fees).  The Commission adopts a new regulatory fee category only when there is a sufficient legal and factual basis to conclude that significant FTE time is used in the oversight and regulation of a regulatee such that adoption of a fee category and designation of fee would satisfy the requirements of section 9 of the Communications Act and our overarching goals that our regulatory framework is fair, administrable, and sustainable. Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2020, Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2019, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 35 FCC Rcd 4976, 4979-80, para. 8 (2020).  For instance, the Commission added a new fee category to the regulatory fee schedule in 2020 when the Commission added non-U.S. licensed space stations with U.S. market access grants to the regulatory fee schedule.  FY 2020 NPRM, 35 FCC Rcd at 4979-91, paras. 7-34.  Prior to that, in 2017, the Commission added non-common carrier terrestrial international bearer circuits (IBCs) to the regulatory fee schedule, in order to include both common carrier and non-common carrier terrestrial IBCs in the schedule.  FY 2017 Report and Order, 32 FCC Rcd at 7071-72, paras. 34-35.  In 2015, the Commission added a new fee category for DBS as a subcategory of the cable television and IPTV fee category, based on the oversight and regulation of this industry by Media Bureau FTEs.  FY 2015 Report and Order, 30 FCC Rcd at 10276-77, paras. 19-20.  Subsequently, the Commission placed all DBS, cable television, and IPTV providers in the same fee category at the same per subscriber regulatory fee.  FY 2021 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 13004-05, para. 28.  In 2014, the Commission adopted a new regulatory fee category for toll-free numbers because FTEs, primarily in the Wireline Competition Bureau, are devoted to toll-free number oversight and regulation.  FY 2014 Report and Order, 29 FCC Rcd at 10778, paras. 26-27.  In 2013, the Commission broadened the cable television category to include IPTV providers.  FY 2013 Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 12362-63, paras. 32-33.
Because the State Broadcasters Associations have not offered a framework by which we could assess laboratories involved in the testing of equipment for Certification with regulatory fees consistent with our methodology and policy goals, we decline to do so.
42. One Ministries, which argues in a single sentence that we should consider virtual MVPD providers as equivalent to cable service providers and assess them with the same regulatory fees, likewise offers no support or basis for how to do so.  Specifically, this suggestion is provided without a factual or legal justification for how the agency could do so within our statutory authority and prior decision-making. One Ministries Reply at 1; see, e.g., FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7575-84, paras. 44-68.

43. Additionally, because the Commission fully considered and rejected the suggestion to convene “stake holder roundtables” in 2023, for the same reasons the Commission previously articulated, FY 2025 Report and Order, 40 FCC Rcd at 7576, para. 46.
we will not revisit the State Broadcasters Associations’ suggestion to do so in FY 2026. State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 15.
Although we recognize the incentives for some commenters to continue to seek to expand the pool of entities subject to the Commission’s regulatory fee process, repeatedly offering the same suggestions, without more factual or legal support for doing so, does not improve the Commission’s regulatory fee process or satisfy the Commission’s obligation to collect its full appropriation as dictated by section 9 of the Act. See generally 47 U.S.C. § 159.
On the other hand, we are encouraged by CTIA’s agreement with our assessment that the work of FTEs in the non-core bureaus and offices should remain indirect as well as CTIA’s observation that we propose reallocations only “after performing considerable analysis and finding the clearest case for reassignment.” CTIA Comments at 3-4.

44. As the Commission has explained for many years, the work of FTEs in the Office of Engineering and Technology, See FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8092-93, paras. 58-60.
the Enforcement Bureau, Id. at 8093-96, paras. 61-69.
and the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau Id. at 8096, para. 71.
benefits the agency as a whole and the American public, and not one particular group of regulatory fee payors.  In light of CTIA’s support and in the absence of evidence to depart from the Commission’s previously articulated reasons for treating its FTEs in the non-core bureau and offices, and more specifically, the FTEs in the Office of Engineering and Technology, Enforcement Bureau, and Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, as indirect, we affirm the Commission’s past conclusion that it is not equitable for any one regulatory fee group of payors to shoulder the FTE burden of such indirect work. See, e.g., FY 2023 Report and Order, 38 FCC Rcd at 8092-99, paras. 57-76.

45. As part of the Commission’s ongoing efforts to modernize the assessment of regulatory fees, we will continue our annual evaluation of whether any FTEs in the non-core bureaus and offices should be reallocated for regulatory fee purposes and exercise our discretion regarding where to focus the Commission’s analytical efforts each year to best respond to changes in the Commission’s substantive work and organization and changes in the telecommunications industry itself. Id. at 8080, para. 19; see also Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees; Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2024, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 39 FCC Rcd 7173, 7181-82, para. 15 (FY 2024 NPRM).
In so doing, we will look for additional ways in which we can ensure that the Commission conducts its annual review and analysis of the FTE data in a manner that is fair, administrable, and sustainable.
B. Broadcast Television Stations
46. We adopt our proposal, which was supported by NAB in the record, NAB Comments at 2.
to continue to assess fees for full-power broadcast television stations based on the population covered by a full-service broadcast television station’s contour as the Commission has since 2020. FY 2026 NPRM at para. 31.  See also FY 2020 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 1738, para. 19.  Previously, from approximately 1995 through 2018, regulatory fees for full-power television stations were based on the Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA) groupings 1-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100, and remaining markets (DMAs 101-210).  In the FY 2018 Report and Order, the Commission adopted a new methodology for assessing regulatory fees for full-service broadcast stations.  The Commission determined that it would fully transition to assessing regulatory fees for full-service television broadcast stations based on the population covered by the station’s contour by FY 2020 and, in the interim, for FY 2019, adopted a blended fee based partly on the historical DMA methodology and partly on the new population-based methodology.  See Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2018, MD Docket No. 18-175, Report and Order and Order, 33 FCC Rcd 8497, 8501-02, para. 14 (2018) (FY 2018 Report and Order).
The population-based methodology conforms with the service authorized here—broadcasting television to the American people.  We will also continue the Commission’s use of 2020 U.S. Census data to assess fees for full-power broadcast television stations, as we traditionally have over the last few years. See FY 2020 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 1738-39, paras. 20-21 (adjusting the fees for Puerto Rico broadcasters).
The population data for broadcasters’ service areas are determined using the TVStudy software and the Licensing and Management System (LMS) database, based on a station’s projected noise-limited service contour. 47 CFR § 73.622.  TVStudy software is released by the Commission’s Office of Engineering and Technology.  TVStudy uses 2020 U.S. Census data and interfaces with data contained in the LMS to perform coverage and interference analyses of full service digital and Class A television stations.  See generally https://www.fcc.gov/oet/tvstudy#:~:text=Engineering%20%26%20Technology,-TVStudy%20FAQ&text=The%20FCC's%20Office%20of%20Engineering,and%20Class%20A%20television%20stations.
However, consistent with the Commission’s decision in FY 2024, we base assessments on limiting the population count of full-power television stations that rely on satellite television stations to reach terrain-limited areas in Puerto Rico. As previously implemented, the Commission based assessments on a full-power television station and its satellite facility on a maximum of 3.1 million population.  Hence, the maximum fee amount that will be paid by a full-power TV station and its associated satellite facility together is 3.1 million times $.007090 (the fee rate) = $21,979.  See FY 2020 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd at 1738-39, paras. 20-21; FY 2024 Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10155-56, para. 24.
We adopt a factor of $.007090 per population served for the FY 2026 full-power broadcast television station fee. The factor is derived by taking the revenue amount required from the full-power broadcast television station fee category and dividing it by the total population count of all “feeable” call signs.  The factor sometimes is refined after an NPRM is released based on our unit estimates to reflect more accurate information about exempt stations, and we may adjust the revenue requirement, consistent with historical practice and trends, if necessary to account for non-payors.
The population data for each licensee and the population-based fee (population multiplied by $.007090 for each full-power broadcast television station) For those VHF stations whose power had to be increased to obtain a clearer signal, the Commission will continue to use a population count based on that station’s lower VHF power level rather than at the increased power level.
are listed in Appendix F.
C. CMRS and Mobile Services Assessments
47. We conclude that we will continue to assess regulatory fees for providers of CMRS and Mobile Services using a unit measure methodology based on the count of “assigned numbers” For purposes of the NRUF filing requirement, “[a]ssigned numbers” are defined as “numbers working in the Public Switched Telephone Network under an agreement such as a contract or tariff at the request of specific end users or customers for their use, or numbers not yet working but having a customer service order pending [for five days or fewer].”  47 CFR § 52.15(f)(1)(iii).
reported in providers’ biannual Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) filings. See Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2004, MD Docket No. 04-73, Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 11662, 11675, para. 47 (2004).  The NRUF filings are FCC Form 502, which is collected by the North American Numbering Plan Administer (NANPA).  See FCC, Forms, https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/forms; NANPA, NRUF, Requirements to File, https://www.nanpa.com/nruf/requirements-file (last visited Mar. 18, 2026).  Providers need to file FCC Form 502 if they “are a carrier and have received numbers from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), a Pooling Administrator, or another telecommunications carrier.  However, subscriber toll-free numbers are not subject to being reported.  Filers include incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), 500 service providers, paging companies, wireless telephony carriers, shared tenant service providers, satellite service providers, and resellers of these services.”  FCC, Common Carrier Filing Requirements—Information for Firms Providing Telecommunications Services, https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/guides/common-carrier-filing-requirements-information-firms-providing-telecommunications-services (last visited Mar. 18, 2026) (discussing FCC Form 502).

48. CTIA was the only commenter to address the questions we posed in the FY 2026 NPRM regarding whether using a different unit measure to apportion regulatory fees for CMRS providers would better reflect the FTE burden of oversight of such fee payors.  CTIA correctly points out that the Commission has utilized NRUF data since FY 2004 and cautions us to take more time to fully evaluate any options before amending the Commission’s methodology for assessing regulatory fees for the CMRS fee category. CTIA Comments at 4.
CTIA further advises that until the Commission determines whether and how it may change NRUF reporting, “it is unclear how NRUF data will compare to other data sources for purposes of allocating regulatory fees among CMRS providers.” Id. at 5.

49. We agree with CTIA that we should not make any changes at this time.  Given the lack of record support to change our existing methodology, we conclude that NRUF assigned numbers data, which serve as a proxy for a provider’s subscriber count, remain a reliable reflection of the FTE burden of the Commission’s oversight of CMRS and mobile service providers and continue to meet our goals that the regulatory fee methodology is fair, sustainable, and administrable.
D. Space Station, Earth Station and Submarine Cable Assessments
50. We also decline to act on the requests of commenters to amend the Commission’s methodology for assessing regulatory fees in this fiscal year Astranis Comments at 2 (“If the ‘GSO satellite system’ definition is adopted, Astranis urges the Commission to adjust its regulatory fee schedule accordingly to reflect the administrative simplifications of this framework.”); Kepler Comments at 2 (contending that the Commission should “place a moratorium on increasing the Regulatory Fees relative to those collected for FY 2025 until it issues an order adopting its modernized licensing framework”); CSSMA Comments at 4 (“Adopting an update to the FCC regulatory fee framework (alongside necessary updates to the regulations through the Commission’s Space Modernization proceeding) to provide a low-cost, expedited pathway to enable foreign-licensed systems to communicate with U.S. ground infrastructure for TT&C and remote sensing data downlink would be consistent with the Commission’s goal to “assure our nation’s continued space leadership” and make the United States “the place where the world’s space industry builds, operates and licenses.”); CSF Comments at 1 (“CSF concurs with other commenters who proposed in the Space Modernization proceeding that the Commission should create a new, low-cost regulatory fee category for U.S. ground station operators providing TT&C and other data services for internal networking such as Earth observation data downlink to foreign spacecraft that do not provide telecommunications or broadband services to the U.S. market.”); Planet Labs Comments at 3 (“By treating all foreign-licensed systems as market access licensees, regardless of what operations are actually taking place using U.S. ground infrastructure, the current fee model functions as a steep financial penalty that directly undermines the global competitiveness of American ground station networks and managed service providers.”); Sirius XM Reply at 1 (“Sirius XM agrees with Astranis’ that technically similar GSO satellites co-located at a single orbital slot should be charged a single regulatory fee.”); Kepler Reply at 1 (contending the Part 100 rulemaking process policy goals should not be undermined by the FY 2026 regulatory fees).
based on issues raised in the Space Modernization proceeding. See Space Modernization for the 21st Century, SB Docket No. 25-306, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-47 (rel. July 23, 2026); Space Modernization for the 21st Century, SB Docket No. 25-306, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 40 FCC Rcd 8191 (2025).
While we appreciate that the adoption of licensing decisions reached in the Space Modernization proceeding may necessitate the consideration of amendments to the methodology for the Commission’s annual assessment of regulatory fees, we conclude that none of the issues raised by commenters in this current regulatory fee rulemaking are ripe for resolution in FY 2026 as those licensing decisions were not reached prior the release of the FY 2026 NPRM.  As the Commission just explained in denying Kinéis’s petition for reconsideration of the FY 2025 Report and Order, “[i]n plain terms, whether any of the proposed changes, if adopted, will materially alter FTE resources devoted to the oversight and regulation of space stations sufficient to merit the Commission proposing changes to fee categories or methodologies is premature at this time.” See Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2025, MD Docket Nos. 25-190 and 24-85, Order on Reconsideration, FCC 26-43, at para. 18 (June 24, 2026).
Rather, as CSF observed, as the Commission implements licensing changes adopted in the Space Modernization proceeding, we will consider how those changes may impact the category of fee payors and the allocation of FTE benefits among fee categories in the assessment of regulatory fees in FY 2027 and in future years. CSF Comments at 1.

51. For similar reasons, we also decline the request of NAB to reduce the regulatory fees on Transmit/Receive and Transmit only earth stations and shift such burdens to non-GSO space station fee payors because NAB claims those fee payors “appear to be the focus of the Space Bureau’s priorities.” NAB Comments at 5-6.
While NAB makes an effort to support its proposal for a fee reduction by generally pointing to the Space Bureau’s recent work associated with the Space Modernization proceeding, it does not provide, nor does the record otherwise contain, sufficient evidence to support a conclusion that we should shift FTEs from earth station payors to NGSO space station payors based on FTE workloads benefitting one fee category over another in FY 2026.  As discussed above, we will not implement fee reductions or fee caps to mitigate fee increases that result from our well-established fee assessment methodology. See supra paras. 29-31.
Additionally, as observed above, changes adopted in the Space Modernization proceeding may necessitate a comprehensive look at regulatory fees due to possible re-allocation of FTEs as a result of those change becoming effective and any measurable changes in FTE utilization becomes apparent.  NAB would have the opportunity to provide input on this issue as part of that proceeding.
52. We do, however, make the necessary corrections to our FY 2026 NPRM proposals where the record supports such actions.  In particular, NASCA asks us to revise the payment units for the submarine cable system fee based on actual data reported in the annual circuit capacity filings, rather than the projections we used to formulate our proposals in the FY 2026 NPRM. See North American Submarine Cable Association Ex Parte at 1-3.
Given the limited time the Commission has to initiate and conclude its annual regulatory fee proceeding, for our NPRM, we must rely on historical data and projected trends to determine the unit count for submarine cables, as well as a number of other fee categories.  Following the release of the NPRM, however, any new or updated data that are made available to the Commission by stakeholders in the record or otherwise obtained or updated by the Commission will become part of our analysis of unit counts to be used in the assessment of regulatory fees in the annual report and order.  Making such adjustments during this process of the rulemaking proceeding is consistent with our rules and existing methodology, as outlined in Appendix C.  In accordance with our standard process and based on our verification of the additional information on circuit capacity data provided by NASCA as well as an updated review of Commission data, we increase the unit count of submarine cables from 79 to 88, thus reducing the per unit fee from what we proposed in the FY 2026 NPRM to $106,975. See FY 2026 NPRM at Appendix A, at 25 (proposing a per unit fee of $120,105).

53. Additionally, after review of the relevant Commission data and consistent with comments from SES, Spire, and Eutelsat, we correct Appendix E of the FY 2026 NPRM to more accurately reflect the list of space station satellites that were authorized as of October 1, 2025, and subject to regulatory fees. See SES Comments 3-4; Spire Comments 2-3; Eutelsat Comments 2-3.
SES proposed the addition of one Geostationary Orbit U.S.-Licensed Space Station and the removal of three Geostationary Orbit U.S.-Licensed Space Stations and two Geostationary Orbit Non-U.S.-Licensed Space Stations with Market Access Through Earth Stations. SES Comments 3-4.
Spire proposed the removal of one Non-Geostationary Orbit Small Constellation and the modification of a second Non-Geostationary Orbit Small Constellation. Spire Comments 2-3.
Eutelsat proposed the modification of one Non-Geostationary Large Constellation, which reclassifies the remaining affected call sign to the Non-Geostationary Small Constellation category. Eutelsat Comments 2-3.
Consistent with the Commission’s efforts to adjust fee rates to reflect information about actual authorized satellites as of October 1, 2025, which becomes available after the release of a regulatory fee NPRM, we conclude that such modifications are appropriate.
E. De Minimis Threshold
54. Section 9(e)(2) of the Act permits the Commission to exempt a party from paying regulatory fees if “in the judgment of the Commission, the cost of collecting a regulatory fee established under this section from a party would exceed the amount collected from such party.” 47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(2).  Similarly, section 9(e)(1) exempts from regulatory fees governmental and nonprofit entities, amateur radio operators, and noncommercial radio and television stations.  47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(1).  Section 1.1162 of our rules implements section 9(e)(1) of the Communications Act.  47 CFR § 1.1162.
As explained below, after a careful review of the Commission’s costs for the collection of delinquent regulatory fees, we decline NAB’s request to increase the de minimis threshold amount to $1,200. NAB Comments 8-9; see also State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 16.  The Commission increased the annual de minimis threshold to $1,000 in 2017.  FY 2017 Report and Order, 32 FCC Rcd at 7073, para. 40.  In the FY 2022 Report and Order, at the request of NAB, the Commission reviewed the de minimis threshold, calculated the average cost of collecting regulatory fees, and determined that the average cost of collection had not increased above the $1,000 de minimis threshold.  FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10876-78, paras. 61-65.

55. By statute, a determination to raise the de minimis threshold for the payment of regulatory fees narrowly rests upon the Commission’s cost of collections.  At the outset, we note that our Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) implementation, including adoption of the red-light rule, minimizes regulatory fee delinquent debt. Delinquent debt owed to the Commission triggers the “red light rule,” which places a hold on the processing of pending applications, fee offsets, and pending disbursement payments.  47 CFR §§ 1.1910, 1.1911, 1.1912.  In 2004, the Commission adopted rules implementing the requirements of the DCIA.  See Amendment of Parts 0 and 1 of the Commission’s Rules, MD Docket No. 02-339, Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 6540 (2004); 47 CFR Part 1, Subpart O, Collection of Claims Owed the United States.  The DCIA and the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS), promulgated by the Department of Treasury and the Department of Justice to implement the DCIA, require the Commission to aggressively collect all debt owed to it.  31 U.S.C. § 3711(a); 31 CFR § 901.1(a).
In the limited circumstances where we must pursue delinquent regulatory fees, the Commission has explained that its administrative process includes various functions, such as gathering data and validating data from the bureaus and external sources; validating delinquent bills; preparing delinquency bills for transfer to collection agent for processing; and processing payments received from collection (e.g., U.S. Department of the Treasury). FY 2019 NPRM, 34 FCC Rcd 3272, 3283-84, paras. 26-30 (explaining the history of the de minimis exception and the activities for collection of delinquent debt) cited by FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8206-07, paras. 46-48 (establishing the statutory exemption).  FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10876, para. 61.
Moreover, generally, delinquent debt is transferred to the Department of Treasury within 120 days after the date of delinquency. FY 2017 Report and Order, 32 FCC Rcd at 7076, para. 53 (citing 31 U.S.C. § 3711(g); 31 CFR § 285.12; 47 CFR § 1.1917).

56. The Commission calculates its collection costs for purposes of determining the de minimis threshold by estimating the number of FTE hours spent on each collection task multiplied by the value of FTE time expended on the task, to arrive at the estimated total cost of each task. These activities follow the release of the relevant order.  Id.
The totals for each task are then added together to determine the total estimated cost of collection.  The total estimated cost of collection divided by the estimated number of delinquent regulatory fee debts for that fiscal year yields the average cost of collecting an unpaid regulatory fee.  Our review of the estimated amount of FTE time devoted to collecting delinquent regulatory fees as well as the hourly rate of a Commission FTE assigned to such tasks reveals that the Commission’s costs have not increased above the existing de minimis threshold.
57. Accordingly, NAB’s and the State Broadcasters Associations’ inferences to the contrary both fail to validate a different result.  In particular, NAB reasons that since the Commission’s staff salaries have increased since 2022, the Commission’s cost of collections has “likely increased.” NAB Comments at 8.
The State Broadcasters Associations support NAB’s request and further maintain that since some fee payors’ regulatory fees have now increased above the $1,000 de minimis threshold, it must follow that the Commission’s cost of collections “have similarly climbed.” State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 16.
But an increase in the regulatory fees of certain regulatees to levels above the $1,000 de minimis threshold does not cause—or even directly correlate to—an increase in the Commission’s cost of collection of delinquent regulatory fees.  In other words, because the methodologies for calculating regulatory fees and the cost of collections expenses differ, a rise in regulatory fees does not necessarily reflect or result in an increased cost of collections.  And, while FTE salaries are one input into the Commission’s cost of collection of delinquent debt, higher salaries without a significant increase in FTE time devoted to collections does not alone justify a 20% increase in the threshold.
58. Unlike the variable amount of regulatory fees that must be collected on an annual basis, the cost of the Commission’s collections is less prone to fluctuations.  It is merely one small aspect in the agency implementation of a vigorous debt collection process. See supra note 152.
Thus, it is not surprising that the cost has remained below the existing threshold.
59. Additionally, because regulatory fees are a zero-sum game, a higher de minimis threshold means that in order to collect our entire appropriation, regulatees with fee obligations above the threshold must cover the shortfall of regulatory fees that fall below it.  Consequently, raising the de minimis threshold to benefit some regulatory fee payors over others, in the absence of an increase in costs of collection, is not supported by our statutory authority and is contrary to the goals of a fair, sustainable, and administrable regulatory framework.  And, while NAB is correct that the Commission does not provide its internal collection calculations for review by commenters, NAB Comments at 9.
the results would be no different if we did.  The Commission has no reason to artificially deflate the de minimis threshold as the calculus dictated by the statute requires us to use our predictive judgment to determine whether the cost of collections outweighs the Commission’s efforts in what will be collected.
60. Moreover, due to the limited nature of the fee exemptions expressly provided by statute, we cannot implement NAB’s suggestion to cap the regulatory fee assessment for classes of stations that fell below the de minimis threshold last year. Id. at 9.  The Commission’s authority to waive regulatory fees is limited to specific instances and the Commission has consistently rejected consideration of waiving the regulatory fee for classes of regulatees.  Given the framework where the Commission has a mandate to collect fees from its regulatees, coupled with a limited list of exempt entities and narrow waiver authority, nothing in the text of the statute supports creating or maintaining new blanket exemptions.  Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2020; Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2019, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 35 FCC Rcd 4976, 4980-4981 para. 10 (2020), petition for review denied by Telesat Canada v. FCC, 999 F.3d 707 (D.C. Cir. 2021) (suggesting that the limited nature of the statute’s fee exemptions constrain the Commission’s authority to issue blanket exemptions to classes of fee payors); Panamsat Corp. v. FCC, 370 F.3d 1168 (D.C. Cir. 2004).
Establishing the de minimis threshold on such a basis would result in exempting classes or categories of fee payors, which would necessarily result in another set of entities shouldering the fee burden.  As the Commission explained the last time it entertained NAB’s request to raise the threshold amount, although the de minimis threshold “has the collateral effect of providing financial relief to some regulatees” that does not mean that a regulatee’s de minimis status provides it with a permanent exemption from regulatory fees. FY 2022 Report and Order, 37 FCC Rcd at 10877, para. 64.
Furthermore, as the Commission has previously explained, pursuant to the wording of section 9(e)(2) of the Act, “providing relief for financially strapped regulatees is not a factor for Commission consideration in setting this threshold.” Id.
Nothing in the text of the statute supports using policy factors outside the cost of collection in establishing the de minimis threshold, and any regulatee with a financial hardship may seek a waiver, reduction, or deferral of its regulatory fees through our well-established process. See supra note 83; see also, e.g., Procedures for Filing Requests for Waiver, Reduction, Deferral and Installment Payment of Fiscal Year 2025 Regulatory Fees, Public Notice, 40 FCC Rcd 6956 (OMD/OEA 2025) (citing 47 CFR § 1.1166).
Accordingly, after an internal evaluation of the Commission’s costs, we again conclude that the cost of collecting regulatory fees does not justify an increase to the existing $1,000 de minimis threshold.
I. PROCEDURAL MATTERS
61. Included below are procedural items as well as our current payment and collection methods.  We include these payments and collection procedures here as a useful way of reminding regulatory fee payers and the public about these aspects of the annual regulatory fee collection process.
62. Commission’s Registration System.  To increase efficiency, the Commission is using an all-electronic payment system for regulatory fees, which is contained within the Commission's Registration System (CORES).  Before using CORES for the first time, you must obtain an FCC Username through the FCC User Registration System, and subsequently use it to access CORES and either register an FCC Registration Number (FRN) or associate an existing FRN to your Username.  If you are unable to register electronically, you may fax your application for a Registration Number (FCC Form 160) to the CORES Helpdesk at (202) 418-7869 for filing procedures.
63. Credit Card Transaction Levels.  In accordance with Treasury Financial Manual, Volume I, Part 5, Chapter 7000, Section 7065.20a—Credit Card Collections, the total daily credit card transactions processed from a single entity can be no more than $24,999.99 (hereinafter the “Maximum Daily Limit”) and the total monthly transactions processed from a single customer (based on a rolling 30-day period) can be no more than $100,000.00 (hereinafter the “Maximum Monthly Limit”). See Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Treasury Financial Manual, https://tfx.treasury.gov/tfm (Treasury Financial Manual) (last visited Jul. 10, 2026).  Customers who owe an amount on a bill, debt, or other obligation due to the federal government are prohibited from splitting the total amount due into multiple payments.  Splitting an amount owed into several payment transactions violates the credit card network and Fiscal Service rules.  An amount owed that exceeds the Maximum Daily Limit, $24,999.99, may not be split into two or more payment transactions in the same day by using one or multiple cards.
Transactions greater than the Maximum Limits will be rejected.  If an entity initiates multiple transactions on the same day with the same credit card, those transactions causing the total charge to exceed the Maximum Limits will also be rejected.  This applies to single payments or bundled payments of more than one bill.  Multiple transactions to a single agency in one day may be aggregated and treated as a single transaction subject to the $24,999.99 limit.  Entities who wish to pay an amount greater than $24,999.99 should consider available electronic alternatives such as debit cards, Automates Clearing House (ACH) debits from a bank account, and wire transfers.  Each of these payment options is available after filing regulatory fee information in the Commission’s Registration System (CORES).  Further details will be provided regarding payment methods and procedures at the time of FY 2026 regulatory fee collection in Fact Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
64. Payment Methods.  During the fee season for collecting regulatory fees, regulatees can pay their fees by credit card through Pay.gov, ACH, debit card, or by wire transfer.  Additional payment instructions are posted on the Commission’s website at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer.  The receiving bank for all wire payments is the U.S. Treasury, New York, NY (TREAS NYC).  Any other form of payment (e.g., checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders) will be rejected.  For payments by wire, an FCC Form 159-E should still be transmitted via fax so that the Commission can associate the wire payment with the correct regulatory fee information.  The fax should be sent to the Commission at (202) 418-2843 at least one hour before initiating the wire transfer (but on the same business day) so as not to delay crediting their account.  Regulatees should discuss arrangements (including bank closing schedules) with their bankers several days before they plan to make the wire transfer to allow sufficient time for the transfer to be initiated and completed before the deadline.  Complete instructions for making wire payments are posted at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer.
65. De Minimis Regulatory Fees, Section 9(e)(2) Exemption.  Under the de minimis rule, and pursuant to our analysis under section 9(e)(2) of the Act, a regulatee is exempt from paying regulatory fees if the sum total of all of its annual regulatory fee liabilities is $1,000 or less for the fiscal year. FY 2019 Report and Order, 34 FCC Rcd at 8206-07, paras. 46-48; 47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(2).
The de minimis threshold applies only to filers of annual regulatory fees, not regulatory fees paid through multi-year filings, and it is not a permanent exemption.  Each regulatee will need to reevaluate the total annual fee liability each fiscal year to determine whether it meets the de minimis exemption.
66. Standard Fee Calculations and Payment Dates.  The Commission will accept fee payments made in advance of the window for the payment of regulatory fees.  The responsibility for payment of fees by service category is as follows:
· Media Services:  Regulatory fees must be paid for initial construction permits that were granted on or before October 1, 2025 for AM/FM radio stations, full-power VHF/UHF broadcast television stations, and satellite television stations.  Regulatory fees must be paid for all broadcast facility licenses granted on or before October 1, 2025. If a station had both an initial construction permit and a license granted on or before October 1, 2025, the station needs to pay only the regulatory fee for the broadcast facility license.

· Wireline (Common Carrier) Services:  Regulatory fees must be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 2025.  In instances where an authorization is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the authorization as of the fee due date.  Audio bridging service providers are included in this category. Audio bridging services are toll teleconferencing services.
For Responsible Organizations (RespOrgs) that manage Toll Free Numbers (TFN), regulatory fees should be paid on all working, assigned, and reserved toll free numbers as well as toll free numbers in any other status as defined in section 52.103 of the Commission’s rules. 47 CFR § 52.103.
The unit count should be based on toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2025.
· Wireless Services:  Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) cellular, mobile, and messaging services (fees based on number of subscribers or telephone number count):  Regulatory fees must be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 2025.  The number of subscribers, units, or telephone numbers on December 31, 2025 will be used as the basis from which to calculate the fee payment.  In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
· Wireless Services, Multi-year fees:  The first eight regulatory fee categories in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees (first seven in our Calculation of Fees Appendix) pay “small multi-year wireless regulatory fees.” These multiyear licenses are for PLMRS (exclusive), PLMRS (shared), Microwave, Marine (ship), Aviation (aircraft), Marine (coast), and Aviation (ground).
Entities pay these regulatory fees in advance for the entire amount period covered by the five-year or ten-year terms of their initial licenses and pay regulatory fees again only when the license is renewed, or a new license is obtained.  We include these fee categories in our rulemaking to publicize our estimates of the number of “small multi-year wireless” licenses that will be renewed or newly obtained in FY 2026.
· Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) Services (cable television operators, Cable Television Relay Service (CARS) licensees, DBS, and IPTV):  Regulatory fees must be paid for the number of basic cable television subscribers as of December 31, 2025. Cable television system operators should compute their number of basic subscribers as follows: Number of single family dwellings + number of individual households in multiple dwelling unit (apartments, condominiums, mobile home parks, etc.) paying at the basic subscriber rate + bulk rate customers + courtesy and free service.  Note: Bulk-Rate Customers = Total annual bulk-rate charge divided by basic annual subscription rate for individual households.  Operators may base their count on “a typical day in the last full week” of December 2025, rather than on a count as of December 31, 2025.
Regulatory fees also must be paid for CARS licenses that were granted on or before October 1, 2025.  In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.  For providers of DBS service and IPTV-based MVPDs, regulatory fees should be paid based on a subscriber count on or about December 31, 2025.  In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
· Space Services:  Regulatory fees must be paid for earth stations that were licensed (or authorized) on or before October 1, 2025.  Regulatory fees must also be paid for geostationary orbit space stations (GSO) and non-geostationary orbit satellite systems (NGSO), and the two NGSO subcategories “Small Constellations ” and “Large Constellations,” that were authorized or granted U.S. market access on or before October 1, 2025.  Licensees of small satellites and RPO, OOS, and OTV space stations that were authorized or granted U.S. market access on or before October 1, 2025 must also pay regulatory fees. In the FY 2024 Space Station Regulatory Fees Order, the Commission adopted a new methodology for assessing regulatory fees for small satellites and spacecraft licensed under sections 25.122 and 25.123 of the Commission’s rules and included space stations that are principally used for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations or On-Orbit Servicing, including Orbit Transfer Vehicles, in the existing fee category for small satellites on an interim basis.  Assessment and Collection of Space and Earth Station Fees for Fiscal Year 2024; Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2024, MD Docket Nos. 24-85 and 24-86, Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd 7321, 7325-29, paras. 9-16 (2024) (FY 2024 Space Station Regulatory Fees Order).  This rule was published in the Federal Register and became effective on September 13, 2024.  See 89 FR 60572 (July 26, 2024).
In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the authorization as of the fee due date.
· International Services (Submarine Cable Systems, Terrestrial and Satellite Services):  Regulatory fees for submarine cable systems are to be paid on a per cable landing license basis based on lit circuit capacity as of December 31, 2025.  Regulatory fees for terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2025, in any terrestrial or satellite transmission facility for the provision of service to an end user or resale carrier.  When calculating the number of such active circuits, entities must include circuits used by themselves or their affiliates.  For these purposes, “active circuits” include backup and redundant circuits as of December 31, 2025.  Whether circuits are used specifically for voice or data is not relevant for purposes of determining that they are active circuits. We encourage terrestrial and satellite service providers to seek guidance from the Office of International Affairs Telecommunications and Analysis Division to verify their particular IBC reporting processes to ensure that their calculation methods comply with our rules.
In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2025, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
67. CMRS and Mobile Services Assessments.  The Commission will compile data from the Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) report that is based on “assigned” telephone number (subscriber) counts that have been adjusted for porting to net Type 0 ports (“in” and “out”). See Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2005, Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 20 FCC Rcd 12259, 12264, paras. 38-44 (2005) (FY 2005 Report and Order).
We have included non-geographic numbers in the calculation of the number of subscribers for each CMRS provider in Appendix A and the CMRS regulatory fee factor proposed in Appendix B.  CMRS provider regulatory fees will be calculated and should be paid based on the inclusion of non-geographic numbers.  CMRS providers can adjust the total number of subscribers, if needed.  This information of telephone numbers (subscriber count) will be posted on CORES along with the carrier’s Operating Company Numbers (OCNs).
68. A carrier wishing to revise its telephone number (subscriber) count can do so by accessing CORES and following the prompts to revise their telephone number counts.  Any revisions to the telephone number counts should be accompanied by an explanation. In the supporting documentation, the provider will need to state a reason for the change, such as a purchase or sale of a subsidiary, the date of the transaction, and any other pertinent information that will help to justify a reason for the change.
The Commission will then review the revised count and supporting explanation, if any, and either approve or disapprove the submission in CORES.  If the submission is disapproved, the Commission will contact the provider to afford the provider an opportunity to discuss its revised subscriber count and/or provide supporting documentation.  If the Commission receives no response from the provider, or the Commission does not reverse its initial disapproval of the provider’s revised count submission, the fee payment must be based on the number of subscribers listed initially in CORES.  Once the timeframe for revision has passed, the telephone number counts are final and are the basis upon which CMRS regulatory fees are to be paid.  Providers can view their final telephone counts online in CORES.
69. Because some carriers do not file the NRUF report, they may not see their telephone number counts in CORES.  In these instances, the carriers should compute their fee payment using the standard methodology that is currently in place for CMRS Wireless services (i.e., compute their telephone number counts as of December 31, 2025), and submit their fee payment accordingly.  Whether a carrier reviews its telephone number counts in CORES or not, the Commission reserves the right to audit the number of telephone numbers for which regulatory fees are paid.  If the Commission determines that a carrier paid CMRS or mobile services regulatory fees based on an incorrect number of telephone numbers, the Commission will bill the carrier for the difference between what was paid and what should have been paid. There would be a 25% penalty plus interest for an incorrect payment per 47 U.S.C. § 159A(c)(2).  The penalty is automatic and immediate.  Interest accrues according to 31 U.S.C. § 3717.  FCC’s implementing regulations are sections 1.1164(c) and 1.1940(b).

70. Effective Date.  Providing a 30-day period after Federal Register publication before this Report and Order becomes effective as normally required by 5 U.S.C. § 553(d) will not allow sufficient time to collect the FY 2026 fees before FY 2026 ends on September 30, 2026.  For this reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 553(d)(3), we find there is good cause to waive the requirements of section 553(d), and this Report and Order will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register.  Because payments of the regulatory fees will not actually be due until late September, persons affected by the Report and Order will still have a reasonable period in which to make their payments and thereby comply with the rules established herein.
71. Regulatory Flexibility Act.  The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 601 et seq., as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement and Fairness Act (SBREFA), Pub. L. No. 104-121, 110 Stat. 847 (1996).
requires that an agency prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for notice and comment rulemakings, unless the agency certifies that “the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.” 5 U.S.C. § 605(b).
Accordingly, we have prepared a final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) concerning the potential impact of rule and policy changes contained in this Report and Order.  The FRFA is set forth in Appendix H.
72. Congressional Review Act.  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 Report and Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(1)(A).
73. Paperwork Reduction Act.  This document does not contain any proposed new or substantively modified information collections 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, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. § 3506(c)(4).
74. Materials in Accessible Formats.  To request materials in accessible formats for people with disabilities (Braille, large print, electronic files, audio format), send an e-mail to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice).
II. ORDERING CLAUSES
75. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), 9, 9A, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 159, 159a, and 303(r), this Report and Order IS HEREBY ADOPTED. Pursuant to Executive Order 14215, 90 Fed. Reg. 10447 (Feb. 20, 2025), this regulatory action has been determined to be not significant under Executive Order 12866, 58 Fed. Reg. 68708 (Dec. 28, 1993).

76. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the FY 2026 section 9 regulatory fees assessment requirements ARE ADOPTED as specified herein.
77. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commission’s Office of the Secretary SHALL SEND a copy of this Report and Order, including the Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.

Notes on Appendix A 

1. The fee amounts listed in the column entitled “Rounded FY 2026 Reg. Fee” are the result of dividing the revenue requirement by the payment units of each radio class category.  The actual FY 2026 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Appendix B. 

2. The AM and FM Construction Permit revenues and the full-power (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues were adjusted, respectively, to set the regulatory fee to an amount no higher than the lowest licensed fee for that class of service based on the threshold 10,001-25,000, the traditional basis for identifying the lowest licensed fee.  Reductions in the full-power (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues, and in the AM and FM Construction Permit revenues, were offset by increases in the revenue totals for full-power television stations by market size, and in the AM and FM radio stations by class size and population served, respectively.  

3. The MDS/MMDS category was renamed Broadband Radio Service (BRS).  See Amendment of Parts 1, 21, 73, 74 and 101 of the Commission’s Rules to Facilitate the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, Educational and Other Advanced Services in the 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 MHz Bands, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6 (2004). 

4. The chart at the end of Appendix B lists the submarine cable bearer circuit regulatory fees (common and non-common carrier basis) that resulted from the adoption of the Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 24 FCC Rcd 6388 (2008) and Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Second Report and Order, 24 FCC Rcd 4208 (2009).  The Submarine Cable fee in Appendix A is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Appendix B.  

5. The actual full-power television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Appendix F.

APPENDIX C

Sources Of Payment Unit Estimates For FY 2026

In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2026, we adjusted FY 2025 payment units for each service to more accurately reflect expected FY 2026 payment liabilities.  We obtained our updated estimates through a variety of means and sources.  For example, we used Commission licensee databases, actual prior year payment records, and industry and trade association projections, where available.  The databases we consulted include our Universal Licensing System (ULS), International Communications Filing System (ICFS), Licensing and Management System (LMS), and Cable Operations and Licensing System (COALS), as well as reports generated within the Commission such as the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast.  Regulatory fee payment units are not all the same for all fee categories.  For most fee categories, the term “units” reflect licenses or permits that have been issued, but for other fee categories, the term “units” reflect quantities such as subscribers, population counts, circuit counts, telephone numbers, and revenues.  As more current data are received after the NPRM is released, the Commission sometimes adjusts the NPRM fee rates to reflect the new information in the Report and Order.  This is intended to make sure that the fee rates in the Report and Order reflect more recent and accurate information.  We realize that by adjusting the unit counts as more accurate information is received may adjust the fee rates for certain regulatory fee categories.  Certain entities that collect the fees from customers in advance in order to pay the Commission, such as Cable and DBS companies, ITSP providers, Cell Phone and Toll-Free providers, may need to adjust their billings to customers as the Commission adjusts its fee rates.  As a result, the Commission understands that these adjustments are necessary so that these regulatees can recover their fee obligations from their customers.

We sought verification for these estimates from multiple sources and, in all cases, we compared FY 2026 estimates with actual FY 2025 payment units to ensure that our revised estimates were reasonable.  Where appropriate, we adjusted and/or rounded our final estimates to take into consideration the fact that certain variables that impact on the number of payment units cannot yet be estimated with sufficient accuracy.  These include an unknown number of waivers and/or exemptions that may occur in FY 2026 and the fact that, in many services, the number of actual licensees or station operators fluctuates over time due to economic, technical, or other reasons.  When we note, for example, that our estimated FY 2026 payment units are based on FY 2025 actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2026 projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2025.  We have either rounded the FY 2026 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these variables.

APPENDIX D

Factors, Measurements, And Calculations That Determine Signal Contours And Associated Population Coverages

AM Stations

For stations with nondirectional daytime antennas, the theoretical radiation was used at all azimuths.  For stations with directional daytime antennas, specific information on each day tower, including field ratio, phase, spacing, and orientation was retrieved, as well as the theoretical pattern root-mean-square of the radiation in all directions in the horizontal plane (RMS) figure (milliVolt per meter (mV/m) @ 1 km) for the antenna system.  The standard, or augmented standard if pertinent, horizontal plane radiation pattern was calculated using techniques and methods specified in sections 73.150 and 73.152 of the Commission’s rules.  Radiation values were calculated for each of 360 radials around the transmitter site.  Next, estimated soil conductivity data was retrieved from a database representing the information in FCC Figure R3.  Using the calculated horizontal radiation values, and the retrieved soil conductivity data, the distance to the principal community (5 mV/m) contour was predicted for each of the 360 radials.  The resulting distance to principal community contours were used to form a geographical polygon.  Population counting was accomplished by determining which 2020 block centroids were contained in the polygon.  (A block centroid is the center point of a small area containing population as computed by the U.S. Census Bureau.)  The sum of the population figures for all enclosed blocks represents the total population for the predicted principal community coverage area.

FM Stations

The greater of the horizontal or vertical effective radiated power (ERP) (kW) and respective height above average terrain (HAAT) (m) combination was used.  Where the antenna height above mean sea level (HAMSL) was available, it was used in lieu of the average HAAT figure to calculate specific HAAT figures for each of 360 radials under study.  Any available directional pattern information was applied as well, to produce a radial-specific ERP figure.  The HAAT and ERP figures were used in conjunction with the Field Strength (50-50) propagation curves specified in 47 CFR § 73.313 of the Commission’s rules to predict the distance to the principal community (70 dBu (decibel above 1 microVolt per meter) or 3.17 mV/m) contour for each of the 360 radials.  The resulting distance to principal community contours were used to form a geographical polygon.  Population counting was accomplished by determining which 2020 block centroids were contained in the polygon.  The sum of the population figures for all enclosed blocks represents the total population for the predicted principal community coverage area.

Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2026, MD Docket No. 26-94, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-25 (rel. Apr. 28, 2026) (FY 2026 NPRM).
The Commission sought written public comment on the proposals in the FY 2026 NPRM, including comment on the IRFA. No comments were filed addressing the IRFA; however, comments in the record regarding alternatives to the methodology for assessing regulatory fees are discussed below.  This Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) conforms to the RFA and it (or summaries thereof) will be published in the Federal Register. 5 U.S.C. § 604.

A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Report and Order
2. In the FY 2026 Report and Order, the Commission adopts a regulatory fee schedule to meet its objective of fully complying with its congressionally mandated requirement of collecting regulatory fees for fiscal year (FY) 2026.  For FY 2026, pursuant to section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act), 47 U.S.C. § 159 (requiring the Commission to assess and collect regulatory fees to recover the costs of carrying out its activities in the total amounts provided for in Appropriations Acts).
and the FY 2026 Consolidation Appropriations Act, the Commission is required to assess and collect $416,112,000, which is an amount that reasonably can be expected to total the Commission’s FY 2026 salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation. Title V — Independent Agencies, Federal Communications Commission, Salaries and Expenses Division of Division E — Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2026, of H.R. 7148 - Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, Pub. L. No. 119-75 (Feb. 3, 2026) (FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act).
The Commission’s methodology for assessing regulatory fees must “reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission’s activities.” 47 U.S.C. § 159(d).
The total amount the Commission must collect in an offsetting collection generally changes each fiscal year, and payors’ regulatory fees will also typically change each fiscal year as a mathematical consequence of the changes in the total amount to be collected, the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs), and projected unit estimates for each regulatory fee category.
3. In the FY 2026 NPRM, the Commission sought comment on several regulatory fee issues, including:  (i) the proposed regulatory fees and methodology for FY 2026, as set forth in Appendices A and B; (ii) the calculation of television broadcaster regulatory fees as set forth in Appendix F; and (iii) whether to continue to use Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) assigned number data as the basis for assessing regulatory fees on Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers.  In the FY 2026 Report and Order, the Commission adopts, with modification, the regulatory fee schedule set forth in Appendices A and B to the FY 2026 NPRM.  The Commission also continues to use NRUF assigned number data for assessing CMRS regulatory fees.
B. Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response to the IRFA
4. Although not specifically filed in response to the IRFA, comments were filed suggesting alternatives to various elements of the methodology for assessing regulatory fees, including but not limited to proposals to adopt new fee categories, proposals to alleviate the impact of fee increases by reducing them or capping them for particular categories of fee payors—thereby effectively shifting the burden to other payors—and proposals to raise the de minimis threshold for exemptions from fees. Various proposals for new categories were supported by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), State Broadcasters Associations, SES Americom (SES), and One Ministries, Inc., but opposed by others, such as CTIA. Proposals to alleviate fee increases by reducing or capping and shifting regulatory fees for certain fee payors were offered by SES, Kepler, the Submarine Cable Coalition (SCC), the North American Submarine Cable Association (NASCA), and NAB. See Kepler Comments at 2; SES Comments at 3; SCC Comments at 4; NAB Comments at 5-6; see also Kepler Reply at 2-3; NASCA Ex Parte at 3; NAB Ex Parte at 2.
NAB proposed, and State Broadcasters Associations supported, raising the de minimis threshold. We address these comments in Section F below.
C. Response to Comments by the Chief Counsel for the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy
5. Pursuant to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which amended the RFA, Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-240, 124 Stat. 2504 (2010).
the Commission is required to respond to any comments filed by Chief Counsel for the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy, and also provide a detailed statement of any change made to the proposed rules as a result of those comments. 5 U.S.C. § 604 (a)(3).
The Chief Counsel did not file any comments in response to the proposed rules in this proceeding.
D. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which the Rules Will Apply
6. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of, and where feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be affected by the adopted rules. Id. § 604.
The RFA generally defines the term “small entity” as having the same meaning as the terms “small business,” “small organization,” and “small governmental jurisdiction.” Id. § 601(6).
In addition, the term “small business” has the same meaning as the term “small business concern” under the Small Business Act. Id. § 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition of “small-business concern” in the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. § 632).  Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 601(3), the statutory definition of a small business applies “unless an agency, after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of the agency and publishes such definition(s) in the Federal Register.”
A “small business concern” is one which: (1) is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the SBA. 15 U.S.C. § 632.
The SBA establishes small business size standards that agencies are required to use when promulgating regulations relating to small businesses; agencies may establish alternative size standards for use in such programs, but must consult and obtain approval from SBA before doing so. 13 CFR § 121.903.

7. Our actions, over time, may affect small entities that are not easily categorized at present.  We therefore describe three broad groups of small entities that could be directly affected by our actions. 5 U.S.C. § 601(3)-(6).
In general, a small business is an independent business having fewer than 500 employees. See SBA, Office of Advocacy, Frequently Asked Questions About Small Business  (July 23, 2024), https://advocacy.sba.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Frequently-Asked-Questions-About-Small-Business_2024-508.pdf.
These types of small businesses represent 99.9% of all businesses in the United States, which translates to 34.75 million businesses. Id.
Next, “small organizations” are not-for-profit enterprises that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their field. 5 U.S.C. § 601(4).
While we do not have data regarding the number of non-profits that meet that criteria, over 99 percent of nonprofits have fewer than 500 employees. See SBA, Office of Advocacy, Small Business Facts, Spotlight on Nonprofits (July 2019), https://advocacy.sba.gov/2019/07/25/small-business-facts-spotlight-on-nonprofits/.
Finally, “small governmental jurisdictions” are defined as cities, counties, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special districts with populations of less than fifty thousand. 5 U.S.C. § 601(5).
Based on the 2022 U.S. Census of Governments data, we estimate that at least 48,724 out of 90,835 local government jurisdictions have a population of less than 50,000. See U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 Census of Governments –Organization, https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2022/econ/gus/2022-governments.html, tables 1-11.

8. The rules adopted in the FY 2026 Report and Order will apply to small entities in the industries identified in the chart below by their six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

E. Description of Economic Impact and Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance Requirements for Small Entities
9. The RFA directs agencies to describe the economic impact of adopted rules on small entities, as well as projected reporting, recordkeeping and other compliance requirements, including an estimate of the classes of small entities which will be subject to the requirement and the type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the report or record. 5 U.S.C. § 604(a)(5).

10. The FY 2026 Report and Order does not adopt any changes to the Commission’s reporting, recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements for collecting regulatory fees from regulatees.  Small and other regulated entities are required to pay regulatory fees on an annual basis.  The cost of compliance with the annual regulatory assessment for small entities is the amount assessed for their regulatory fee category, based upon the methodology employed by the Commission in FY 2026 to determine the allocation of direct FTEs within the core bureaus, and indirect FTEs in non-core bureaus and offices. Moreover, complying with their annual regulatory assessment should not require small entities to hire professionals to comply, as they are accustomed to paying the annual fees and most should be familiar with both the Commission’s current collection process.
11. In addition, small entities facing financial hardship from the regulatory assessments adopted in the FY 2026 Report and Order may qualify for fee relief through waivers, reductions, deferrals, or installment payments.  Further, small entities may be exempt from regulatory fees if the assessed amount falls below the Commission’s established de minimis threshold. To the extent individual regulatees do not have an ability to pay regulatory fees, we remind them of existing processes to seek a waiver, reduction, or deferral of regulatory fees to mitigate the impact of regulatory fees when paying such fees would cause a hardship.  Section 9A(d) permits the Commission to waive, reduce, or defer payment of a regulatory fee and associated interest charges and penalties for good cause.  47 U.S.C. § 159A(d); 47 CFR § 1.1166.  See FY 2019 Report and Order 34 FCC Rcd at 7577-78, paras. 49-53 (providing a detailed discussion of the statutory requirement and the information that should be submitted with the request).  However, as the Commission has repeatedly noted, it interprets this provision narrowly to permit only those waivers “unambiguously articulating ‘extraordinary circumstances’ outweighing the public interest in recouping the cost of the Commission’s regulatory services for a particular regulatee.”  Id. (citing Implementation of Section 9 of the Communications Act, Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for the 1994 Fiscal Year, Report and Order, 9 FCC Rcd 5333, 5344, para. 29 (1994)).

F. Discussion of Steps Taken to Minimize the Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered
12. The RFA requires an agency to provide, “a description of the steps the agency has taken to minimize the significant economic impact on small entities … including a statement of the factual, policy, and legal reasons for selecting the alternative adopted in the final rule and why each one of the other significant alternatives to the rule considered by the agency which affect the impact on small entities was rejected.” 5 U.S.C. § 604(a)(6).

13. In response to the FY 2026 NPRM, the Commission received comments proposing alternatives to various elements of the methodology for assessing regulatory fees, to the FY 2026 regulatory fee schedule, as well as to proposals advocating the adoption of new fee categories for the collection of regulatory fees, shifting burdens among payors by, e.g., capping fees for selected categories, and increasing the de minimis threshold for exemptions from fees.  After considering those comments and the Commission’s precedent, the regulatory fees adopted in the FY 2026 Report and Order reflect the Commission’s efforts to minimize significant economic impact on small entities when practicable.  Below is a discussion of some of the steps the Commission has taken in the FY 2026 Report and Order and alternative proposals it considered in reaching its conclusions.
14. Assessment of Regulatory Fees.  For FY 2026, we employ the same long-standing methodology as the Commission has applied in FY 2023, 2024 and 2025.  However, we conclude as the Commission did in FY 2023, 2024, and 2025 that the work of certain FTEs located in the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau merits reallocation as direct FTEs to a core bureau.  Based on the results of our staff’s high-level evaluation of the work conducted within the Commission, we conclude in the FY 2026 Report and Order that certain indirect FTEs could be reassigned as direct FTEs, and we incorporate these into the count of FTEs of the relevant core bureau for purposes of calculating regulatory fees for FY 2026.
15. New Categories of Fee Payors.  In the Report and Order, we considered and rejected the alternatives proposed by commenters, including SES, the State Broadcasters Associations, and One Ministries, Inc., to adopt new categories of regulatory fee payors.  SES argues that the Commission should create new fee categories for experimental licenses, unlicensed use, and automated frequency coordination systems. SES Comments at 2.
The State Broadcasters Associations suggest that we adopt a new fee category of equipment certification labs. FY 2026 NPRM at para. 36.
One Ministries argues that we should consider virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPD) providers as equivalent to cable service providers and assess the same fees. See One Ministries Reply at 1.
SES even goes so far as to suggest the Commission should designate the Office of Engineering and Technology as a new core bureau. As we explicitly explained in the FY 2026 NPRM, commenters were asked to provide “detailed evidence of materially changed circumstances, rather than reiterate[d] arguments that the Commission has historically declined to adopt.”  Instead, commenters and their supporters either repeat or slightly recast old arguments and fail to provide any material changed circumstances in support of their arguments.  For these and other reasons detailed in the FY 2026 Report and Order, the Commission declined to adopt any of these new fee payor categories which could impose new economic burdens on small entities in these categories. See supra FY 2026 Report and Order at paras. 39-43.

16. Shifting Fee Burdens.  Certain commenters request the Commission cap fees for selected categories of fee payors to alleviate the burden of fee increases, but such a shift would inevitably increase burdens on other payors.  In particular, Kepler and SES express concern about the increase in fees from FY 2025 for regulatees of the Space Bureau and ask the Commission “to place a moratorium on increasing the FY 2026 fees relative to those collected for FY 2025” or to “buffer increases” of the fees. Kepler Comments at 2; SES Comments at 3; see also Kepler Reply at 2-3;
Similarly, SCC and NASCA assert that the fee increase for regulatees of the Office of International Affairs is excessive and propose that the Commission “reduce the proposed submarine cable fees to a level commensurate with economic reality and the statutory boundaries the Commission must abide by” or “cap any increase at no more than 10 percent for FY 2026, with the revenue requirement in excess of the amount represented by the cap treated as the equivalent of indirect FTEs.” SCC Comments at 4; NASCA ex parte at 3.
NAB proposes that the Commission reduce the regulatory fees on Transmit/Receive and Transmit only earth stations because broadcasters pay earth station regulatory fees in addition to the fees assessed for their broadcasting licenses, which they claim unfairly compounds their financial burden. NAB Comments at 5-6.

17. Although the Commission is mindful of concerns raised by these commenters that our regulatory fees need to be predictable and not prone to excessive fluctuation, it was unable to reconcile these particular requests for special accommodations with its statutory obligation to collect the Commission’s entire appropriation this fiscal year.  The fee increases for FY 2026 are due to either increased direct FTEs working on satellite and earth station matters and submarine cable matters, changes in the units of measure for these fee categories, and/or the roughly 6.6% increase in the Commission’s overall fiscal year appropriation.  Thus, the FY 2026 regulatory fee increase is attributable directly to circumstances which were for the benefit of these fee payors under the Commission’s methodology.  As the Commission has observed, “because we must collect the full amount of the appropriation as an offsetting collection, decreasing the fee on any one category must be offset with an increased collection in another category.” Review of the Commission’s Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees; Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2024, MD Docket Nos. 24-85, 24-86, Second Report and Order, 39 FCC Rcd at 10174, para. 67 (2024) (FY 2024 Second Report and Order).
The Commission declined to take such inherently unfair actions in circumstances such as these where regulatory fees are based on direct FTEs to a core bureau, are consistent with our statutory congressional direction under section 9 of the Communications Act, and no other special extenuating circumstances for consideration exist. See supra FY 2026 Report and Order at para. 31.
Contrary to suggestions by certain commenters, the Commission declined to adjust its analysis to financially advantage certain categories of regulatees at the expense of others, including small entities. Id. at 27-28 and 48.

18. De Minimis Threshold.  NAB, supported by the State Broadcasters Association, asked the Commission to raise the de minimis threshold from $1,000 to $1,200. NAB Comments 8-9; see also State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 16.
Section 9(e)(2) of the Act permits the Commission to exempt a party from paying regulatory fees if “in the judgment of the Commission, the cost of collecting a regulatory fee established under this section from a party would exceed the amount collected from such party.” 47 U.S.C. § 159(e)(2).
After a careful review of the Commission’s costs for the collection of regulatory fees, the Commission declined NAB’s request to increase the de minimis threshold amount to $1,200. See supra FY 2026 Report and Order at paras. 54-60.
NAB reasoned that since the Commission’s staff salaries have increased since 2022, the Commission’s cost of collections has “likely increased.” NAB Comments at 8.
The State Broadcasters Association supported NAB’s request and further maintained that since some fee payors’ regulatory fees have now increased above the $1,000 de minimis threshold, it must follow that the Commission’s cost of collections “have similarly climbed.” State Broadcasters Associations Reply at 16.

19. Yet, by statute, a determination to raise the de minimis threshold for the payment of regulatory fees narrowly rests upon the Commission’s cost of collections.  The Commission concluded that the calculus dictated by the statute required it to use its predictive judgment to determine whether the cost of collections outweighs the Commission’s efforts in what will be collected.  Unlike the variable amount of regulatory fees that must be collected on an annual basis, the cost of the Commission’s collections is less prone to fluctuations and has remained relatively constant over time.  Additionally because regulatory fees are a zero-sum game, a higher de minimis threshold means that in order to collect our entire appropriation, regulatees with fee obligations above the threshold must cover the shortfall of regulatory fees that fall below it.  Consequently, raising the de minimis threshold to benefit some regulatory fee payors over others, in the absence of an increase in costs of collection, is not supported by our statutory authority and is contrary to the goal of a fair, sustainable, and administrable regulatory framework. The Commission’s review of the cost of collections revealed that the Commission’s costs have not increased above the existing de minimis threshold.  Accordingly, after an internal evaluation of the costs, the Commission again concluded that the cost of collecting regulatory fees did not justify an increase to the existing $1,000 de minimis threshold. Nonetheless, any regulatee with a financial hardship may seek a waiver, reduction, or deferral of its regulatory fees through our well-established process. See supra FY 2026 Report and Order at para. 60 and note 163.

20. Broadcast Regulatory Fees.  In the FY 2026 Report and Order, the Commission adopted the FY 2026 NPRM proposals for full-power broadcast stations regulatory fee assessments, which was supported by NAB, to continue to assess fees for full-power broadcast television stations based on the population covered by a full-service broadcast television station’s contour, which may reduce the economic impact of the regulatory fees for some small licensees. The Commission therefore concluded, as it has in the past, that the population-based metric conforms with the service of broadcasting television to the American people.
