Wireline Competition Bureau, and the International Bureau
MD Docket No. 20-270
On December 23, 2020, the Commission adopted a Report and Order
implementing a new application fee schedule which significantly updated
the Commission's previous fee schedule.\1\ As indicated in the 2020
Application Fee Report and Order, the new application fee rates will
become effective when the Commission's ``information technology systems
and internal procedures have been updated, and the Commission publishes
notice(s) in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of such
rules.'' \2\ On July 6, 2021, the Commission announced that the systems
and internal procedures had been updated for the Office of Engineering
and Technology and for the Media Bureau, and as a result new
application fees became effective for those Bureaus as of July 15,
2021.\3\ This Public Notice announces that new application fee rates
for the Wireline Competition Bureau (47 CFR 1.1105), the Enforcement
Bureau (47 CFR 1.1106), International Bureau (47 CFR 1.1107), and CALEA
Petitions (47 CFR 1.1109) will become effective on December 15,
2021.\4\ Application fees for Enforcement Bureau applications and CALEA
Petitions can be paid through the Commission's Registration System
(CORES) (the Commission's FRN Management and Financial system),\5\
International Bureau applications can be paid through IBFS (or through
the CORES system as a back-up), and Wireline Competition applications
can be paid through ETFS
[[Page 70126]]
(tariff filings), and the CORES system (section 214 and VoIP numbering
applications).
