I. Procedural Matters
6. Ex Parte Information. The proceeding initiated by this NPRM, in
which we seek comment on proposals as described above, shall be treated
as a ``permit-but-disclose'' proceeding in accordance with the
Commission's ex parte rules. Persons making ex parte presentations must
file a copy of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any
oral presentation within two business days after the presentation
(unless a different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period
applies). Persons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that
memoranda summarizing the presentation must (1) list all persons
attending or otherwise participating in the meeting at which the ex
parte presentation was made, and (2) summarize all data presented and
arguments made during the presentation. If the presentation consisted
in whole or in part of the presentation of data or arguments already
reflected in the presenter's written comments, memoranda, or other
filings in the proceeding, the presenter may provide citations to such
data or arguments in his or her prior comments, memoranda, or other
filings (specifying the relevant page and/or paragraph numbers where
such data or arguments can be found) in lieu of summarizing them in the
memorandum. Documents shown or given to Commission staff during ex
parte meetings are deemed to be written ex parte presentations and must
be filed consistent with Sec. 1.1206(b) of the Commission's rules. In
proceedings governed by Sec. 1.49(f) of the Commission's rules or for
which the Commission has made available a method of electronic filing,
written ex parte presentations and memoranda summarizing oral ex parte
presentations, and all attachments thereto, must be filed through the
electronic comment filing system available for that proceeding, and
must be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc, .xml, .ppt,
searchable .pdf). Participants in this proceeding should familiarize
themselves with the Commission's ex parte rules.
7. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. An initial regulatory
flexibility analysis (IRFA) is contained in this summary. Comments to
the IRFA must be identified as responses to the IRFA and filed by the
deadlines for comments on the NPRM. The Commission will send a copy of
the NPRM, including the IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration.
8. Initial Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis. This document
does not contain new or modified information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-
13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new or modified
information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act
of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).

I. Introduction
9. For fiscal year (FY) 2022, the Commission is required to collect
$381,950,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2022, pursuant to sections 9 and
9A of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act),
and the Commission's FY 2022 Appropriations Act. In this NPRM, we seek
comment on associated changes to the non-geostationary orbit (NGSO)
space stations regulatory fee rates. We also seek comment on the
Commission's proposed regulatory fees for FY 2022 as set forth in
Tables 2 and 3 in addition to other issues including: continuing to use
our methodology for calculating television broadcaster regulatory fees
based on population; calculating the costs of collection of regulatory
fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold; and how our
proposals may promote or inhibit advances in diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility.
II. Background
10. Congress requires the Commission to assess and collect
regulatory fees each year in an amount that can reasonably be expected
to equal the amount of its annual salaries and expenses (S&E)
appropriation. Regulatory fees cover direct costs, such as salaries and
expenses; indirect costs, such as overhead functions; statutorily
required tasks that do not directly equate with oversight and
regulation of a particular regulatee but instead benefit the Commission
and the industry as a whole; and support costs such as rent, utilities,
and equipment. Regulatory fees also cover the costs incurred in
oversight and regulation of entities that are statutorily exempt from
paying regulatory fees (i.e., governmental and nonprofit entities,
amateur radio operators, and noncommercial radio and television
stations), entities that are exempt from payment of FY 2022 regulatory
fees because their total assessed annual regulatory fees fall below the
annual de minimis threshold, and entities whose regulatory fees are
waived. Pursuant to section 9(d) of the Communications 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.'' For FY 2022, the Commission must
recover $381,950,000, as set forth in the FY 2022 Consolidated
Appropriations Act.
11. Each year, early in the fiscal year, the Commission receives
full time equivalent (FTE) data from its Human Resources Office, and
identifies FTE data at the core bureau level (i.e., direct FTEs), which
is then used to determine the FTE allocations for the four core
bureaus. This FTE data is then filtered down to the various fee
categories within each core bureau based on the fee category
percentages for each bureau. After the number of direct FTEs is
determined within each core bureau of the Commission, a percentage of
the total amount to be collected in regulatory fees for a given fiscal
year is calculated for each core bureau based on the number of direct
FTEs within a core bureau. The total of the percentages for each core
bureau must equal 100% of the amount to be collected. The total
percentage for a core bureau is then used to calculate the percentages
for the various regulatory fee categories within each core bureau, as
provided by the Commission's bureaus. Thus, the regulatory fee
categories within each core bureau make up a percentage of a core
bureau's total percentage to be collected in regulatory fees.
12. These percentages, either at the regulatory fee category level
within a core bureau or summed up to the core bureau level, represent
the dollar amount of regulatory fees to be collected by multiplying
each fee category percentage by the target goal to be collected. For
example, the Wireline Competition Bureau, a core bureau, has direct
FTEs that constitute 33.74% of all regulatory fees to be collected. The
Wireline Competition Bureau also has two fee categories from which
33.74% of the fees are to be collected: (1) the Interstate
Telecommunications Service Provider Fee (ITSP) fee category constitutes
32.62%, and (2) the Toll Free Number fee category constitutes 1.12% for
a total sum of 33.74%. The percentage for each fee category represents
the amount to collect in regulatory fees for that fee category--for
example, for the ITSP fee category, 32.62% amounts to $124.59 million
from an FY 2022 target goal of $381,950,000. This dollar amount
($124.59 million) divided by the estimated units for the ITSP fee
category determines the fee rate, which is then rounded to the nearest
$5, where applicable. Indirect FTEs are then allocated proportionally
based on the allocation percentage of direct FTEs of each core bureaus.
13. The indirect FTEs are the FTEs in the Enforcement Bureau,
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau, Chairwoman's and Commissioners' offices, Office of the
Managing Director, Office of General Counsel, Office of the Inspector
General, Office of Communications Business Opportunities, Office of
Engineering and Technology, Office of Legislative Affairs, Office of
Workplace Diversity, Office of Media Relations, Office of Economics and
Analytics, and Office of Administrative Law Judges, along with some
FTEs in the Wireline Competition Bureau and the International Bureau
that the Commission has previously classified as indirect for
regulatory fee purposes. Unlike the work of direct FTEs, the work of
FTEs designated as indirect benefits the Commission and the industry as
a whole and is not specifically focused on the regulatees and licensees
of a core bureau. The high percentage of indirect FTEs is indicative of
the fact that many Commission activities and costs are not limited to a
particular fee category and instead benefit the Commission and its work
as a whole.
14. In section 9 of the Communications Act, Congress prescribed a
method of collecting an amount equal to the full S&E appropriation by
keying the regulatory fee assessment to FTE burden. As a result, the
fee assigned to each regulatory fee category relates to the FTE burden
associated with their oversight and regulation by the relevant core
bureaus. Because the total amount the Commission must collect in an
offsetting collection generally changes each fiscal year, 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 Commission FTEs, and projected unit estimates
for each fee category. Beyond those changed collection requirements,
consideration of changes, additions, or deletions to the regulatory fee
schedule is focused on the Commission's direct FTE cost burden related
to the regulatory fee category at issue within each core bureau.
15. Adjustments and Amendments to Regulatory Fee Schedule. Each
year, the Commission is required to adjust the schedule of regulatory
fees to ``(A) reflect unexpected increases or decreases in the number
of units subject to the payment of such fees; and (B) result in the
collection of the amount required'' by the Commission's annual
appropriation. Each year the Commission issues a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to seek comment on its methodology for assessing regulatory
fees and the proposed regulatory fees for the fiscal year.
[[Page 38590]]
III. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
16. In this annual regulatory fee NPRM, we seek comment on our
methodology for assessing regulatory fees and on the schedule of FY
2022 regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 and 3. We also seek
comment on associated changes to the NGSO space station regulatory fee
rates in addition to several other issues such as continuing to use our
methodology for calculating television broadcaster regulatory fees
based on population; calculating the costs of collection of regulatory
fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold; and how our
proposals may promote or inhibit advances in diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility.
A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees
17. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees. Congress has
required us to collect $381,950,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2022. In
doing so, 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.'' We
implement this directive by first looking to the core bureaus within
the Commission in order to identify the number of direct non-auction
FTEs from each core bureau and then categorize the remaining non-
auction FTEs and other Commission costs as indirect. Once the direct
FTEs are identified, we then allocate fees to specific fee categories
within each core bureau. These proportional calculations allocate all
Commission non-auction related costs across all fee categories. We find
that our methodology is consistent with section 9 of the Communications
Act which requires us to base our methodology on the number of FTEs in
calculating regulatory fees. We seek comment on this methodology and on
the schedule of FY 2022 regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 and 3.
Any proposals or comments requesting a change or modification to our
proposed FY 2022 regulatory fees should include a thorough analysis
showing a sufficient basis for making the change and provide
alternative options for the Commission to meet its statutory obligation
to collect the full amount of the appropriation by the end of the
fiscal year. Commenters should also indicate how such alternative
options are fair, administrable, and sustainable.
18. Allocating FTEs. Consistent with past practices, we propose to
base the allocation of fee categories for FY 2022 on the Commission's
calculation of FTEs in each regulatory fee category. Each year, early
in the fiscal year, the Commission receives FTE data from the
Commission's Human Resources Office, and identifies FTE data at the
core bureau level (direct FTEs). This FTE data is then filtered down to
the various fee categories within each core bureau. The total FTEs for
each fee category include the direct FTEs associated with that category
plus a proportional allocation of indirect FTEs. Applying the
requirements of section 9 of the Communications Act to calculate
regulatory fees, we propose to allocate the total collection target
across all regulatory fee categories. Each regulatee within a fee
category then pays its proportionate share based on an objective
measure. To calculate fees for each licensee, we identify ``units''
used to calculate the fees. For example, broadcast licensees' fees will
vary by population served and commercial mobile radio service (CMRS)
wireless licensees will pay fees based on their number of subscribers.
These calculations are illustrated in Table 2. The sources for the unit
estimates that are used in these calculations are listed in Table 4.
19. In sum, there are 329 direct FTEs for FY 2022, distributed
among the core bureaus as follows International Bureau (28), Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (70), Wireline Competition Bureau (111), and
the Media Bureau (120). This results in 8.51% of the FTE allocation for
International Bureau regulatees; 21.28% of the FTE allocation for
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; 33.74% of the FTE
allocation for Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and 36.47% of
FTE allocation for Media Bureau regulatees. There are in turn 943
indirect FTEs spread across the Commission: Enforcement Bureau (187),
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (111), Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (98), part of the International Bureau (52),
part of the Wireline Competition Bureau (38), Chairman and
Commissioners' offices (22), Office of the Managing Director (136),
Office of General Counsel (70), Office of the Inspector General (47),
Office of Communications Business Opportunities (10), Office of
Engineering and Technology (66), Office of Legislative Affairs (8),
Office of Workforce Diversity (4), Office of Media Relations (12),
Office of Economics and Analytics (78), and Office of Administrative
Law Judges (4). Allocating these indirect FTEs based on the direct FTE
allocations yields an additional 80.26 FTEs attributable to
International Bureau regulatees, 200.64 FTEs attributable to Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatees, 318.16 FTEs attributable to
Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees, and 343.95 FTEs attributable to
Media Bureau regulatees.
20. Based on these allocations and the requirement to collect
$381,950,000 in regulatory fees this year, we project collecting
approximately $32.51 million (8.51%) in fees from International Bureau
regulatees; $81.27 million (21.28%) in fees from Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; $128.86 million (33.74%) from
Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and $139.31 million (36.47%)
from Media Bureau regulatees. We set specific regulatory fees in Table
3 so that regulatees within a fee category pay their proportionate
share based on an objective measure (e.g., revenues or number of
subscribers). The proposed fees are based on the established
methodology, applied to the allocated direct FTEs and based on the
Commission's appropriation amount of $381,950,000. We seek comment on
our methodology. Commenters proposing adjustments to our methodology
should explain the basis for their proposals.
1. Regulatory Fee Rates for Space Stations
21. We seek comment on the proposed regulatory fees for space
stations as provided in Table 2. In 2021, the Commission adopted new
NGSO space stations regulatory fee subcategories: ``less complex'' and
``other,'' both under the broader category of ``Space Stations (Non-
Geostationary Orbit).'' In the FY 2021 Report and Order, 86 FR 52742
(Sept. 22, 2021), the Commission subsequently adopted the proposal from
the FY 2021 NPRM, 86 FR 52429 (Sept. 21, 2021), to allocate 20% of NGSO
space station regulatory fees to ``less complex'' NGSO space stations
and 80% of NGSO regulatory fees to ``other'' NGSO space stations. As
discussed above, in this proceeding, we determine a fee methodology for
small satellites, and integrate the small satellite fee category into
the NGSO space stations fee category. Accordingly, in Table 2, we have
included the proposed fees for NGSO space stations calculated by
assessing the fees that small satellites will pay in FY 2022, reducing
that amount from the overall NGSO space stations fee category, and
allocating the remaining NGSO space station fees 20/
[[Page 38591]]
80 using the two new fee subcategories: ``less complex'' NGSO space
stations and all other NGSO space stations identified as ``other'' NGSO
space stations.''
22. Below is a table illustrating the proposed NGSO fee rates for
FY 2022. These proposed regulatory fees are also listed in Tables 2 and
3. We seek comment on these proposed regulatory fees. Commenters
proposing alternative should explain the basis for their proposals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(per license) Proposed NGSO--other space station fee (per system) system)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$12,145........................... $338,020 $140,840
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Spacecraft Performing On-Orbit Servicing and Rendezvous and
Proximity Operations. Two commenters propose the creation of additional
fee categories, citing similarities between the characteristics of
small satellites and those other satellite services commenters contend
should have a separate fee. Spaceflight proposes that the Commission
create a separate fee category for spacecraft performing on-orbit
services (OOS), which would include deployment, rendezvous and
proximity services. Spaceflight posits that OOS spacecraft share
characteristics of small satellites and ``less complex'' NGSO systems
thereby justifying the creation of a new and lower fee category.
Spaceflight also distinguishes between OOS spacecraft and traditional
NGSO satellites in that OOS spacecraft have limited duration and scope
of use as well as a limited number of earth stations; require a smaller
investment in OOS technology; require less ongoing regulation owing to
the shorter duration of OOS spacecraft; will likely be licensed on a
shared use basis. Spaceflight also notes that OOS spacecraft are
licensed on a non-interference basis without the need for processing
round procedures or post-processing round disputes over matters such as
interference protection and spectrum priority. In addition, Astroscale
proposes that the Commission create a new fee category for rendezvous
and proximity operations (RPO). Astroscale submits that a Commission
proceeding to create service rules and a corresponding fee category for
RPO services would provide much needed permanency and clarity to
support this nascent infrastructure. In allocating this fee, Astroscale
argues that the Commission should consider the similarities that RPO
services share with small satellites, such as one-way data
communication, and with ``less complex'' NGSO systems, such as the
less-intensive use of ground stations.
24. At this time, we tentatively conclude that it would be
premature to adopt new fee categories for OOS and RPO operations. To
date, there have been a limited number of such operations and these
have been treated on a case-by-case basis. Except for GSO servicing
missions, we expect that most OOS and RPO operations will be NGSO, but
we tentatively conclude that it is too early to identify exactly where
operations such as those in low-Earth orbit (LEO) might fit into the
regulatory fee structure in the future. Thus, at this time, we do not
have a record sufficient to propose to establish a fee category(ies)
and appropriate methodology for assessing such a fee category(ies). We
propose that, until we gain more experience in regulating such systems,
we continue to regulate these systems as we have and consider OOS and
RPO spacecraft licensing on a mission-by-mission basis. We seek comment
on these tentative conclusions. Commenters that nonetheless favor a new
fee category or categories should fully explain the basis for their
positions, including how the Commission might identify exactly where
these operations might fit into the regulatory fee structure.
25. However, although we do not adopt a new regulatory and
corresponding fee category for OOS and RPO spacecraft at this time, we
further seek comment on whether and how to assess fees for these types
of spacecraft, and other types of satellites servicing other
satellites, which operate near to the GSO arc. Specifically, we seek
comment on whether a satellite servicing other satellites that operates
above the GSO arc should be treated as a GSO space station for
regulatory fee purposes. We also seek comment on what factors should be
considered in determining whether the servicing spacecraft should be
assessed regulatory fees separately. For example, what percentage of
time are the satellites co-located with a GSO satellite?
B. Full-Service Television Broadcaster Fees
26. In the FY 2020 Report and Order, 85 FR 59864 (Sept. 23, 2020),
we completed the transition to a population-based full-service
broadcast television regulatory fee. We do not reopen that decision
relating to these regulatory fees being based on population at this
time. For FY 2022, we propose 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 and seek comment on
our mechanism, described below, for how we will calculate the
regulatory fee based on the previously decided population-based
methodology. As described in Table 7, we propose adopting a factor of
.88 of one cent ($.008803) per person served for FY 2022 full-service
broadcast television station fees. The population data for
broadcasters' service areas are extracted from the TVStudy database,
based on a station's projected noise-limited service contour. The
population data for each licensee and the population-based fee
(population multiplied by $.008803 for each full-service broadcast
television station), including each satellite station is listed in
Table 7. We seek comment on these proposed fees. Any commenters
suggesting different ways to measure population-based fees for full-
service television broadcasters should indicate the proposed fees and
the underlying calculation and basis for the fees.
C. De Minimis Threshold
27. We seek comment on how to calculate the costs of collection of
regulatory fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold of
$1,000. Section 9(e)(2) of the Communications 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. . . .'' NAB proposes that we increase the de
minimis threshold, above $1,000, in order to assist small broadcasters.
We remind commenters that the text of section 9(e)(2) of the
Communications Act does not include language
[[Page 38592]]
suggesting that such considerations be used in determining the cost of
collecting a regulatory fee for purposes of setting the de minimis
threshold.
28. In the FY 2019 Report and Order, 84 FR 50890 (Sept. 26, 2019),
the Commission concluded that section 9(e)(2) of the Communications Act
codifies our authority to adopt a de minimis exemption. At that time,
the Commission analyzed the average cost of collecting delinquent debt
and estimated that the Commission's cost of collecting the debt would
exceed $1,000. The Commission determined that its administrative debt
collection process involves many steps, including data compilation,
preparation and validation; invoicing; debt transfer for third party
collection; responding to debtor questions and disputes; and processing
payments. Accordingly, the Commission retained the de minimis threshold
for annual regulatory fee payors at $1,000.
29. We seek comment on NAB's proposal to increase the de minimis
threshold. Commenters should discuss how we should calculate the costs
of collection of regulatory fees and whether the cost of collecting a
regulatory fee begins after the regulatory fees are due and once
delinquencies occur. Alternatively, should the cost of collection begin
when the Commission collects data on a payor's regulatory fee status,
generally prior to the regulatory fee due date? Commenters advocating a
higher annual de minimis threshold should discuss which steps in the
debt collection process should be included in ``the cost of collecting
a regulatory fee.'' For example, should the Commission also consider
the costs associated with reviewing and resolving waiver requests and
installment payment requests? Commenters suggesting an increase should
indicate what the threshold should be increased to and the factual and
statutory basis for such an increase. Commenters should also explain if
the proposed definition of costs of collection is consistent with other
uses of the term in the U.S. Code with respect to collection of federal
fees.
D. Indirect Full Time Equivalents
30. As discussed above, the Commission has previously reclassified
certain direct FTEs as indirect for regulatory purposes due to the
nature of their work assignments. We seek comment on whether such
reclassifications, on balance, produce a more accurate regulatory fee
assessment. If reclassification is appropriate in certain
circumstances, should we consider different calculation methods when
reclassified FTEs work on issues that clearly do not benefit certain
classes of licensees? If so, how should we adjust our calculation
method? In addition, how frequently should the Commission revisit such
reclassifications to ensure that the FTEs accurately reflect the work
of the relevant Bureau? Are the current reclassifications still
appropriate? To what extent does reclassification undermine the
Commission's rationale for retaining its current direct/indirect
methodology?
E. New Regulatory Fee Categories
31. In the FY 2021 NPRM, we sought comment on ``whether we should
adopt new regulatory fee categories and on ways to improve our
regulatory fee process regarding any and all categories of service.''
We invite additional comment in order to help inform our consideration
of these issues.
F. Digital Equity and Inclusion
32. Finally, the Commission, as part of its continuing effort to
advance digital equity for all, including people of color, persons with
disabilities, persons who live in rural or tribal areas, and others who
are or have been historically underserved, marginalized, or adversely
affected by persistent poverty or inequality, invites comment on any
equity-related considerations and benefits (if any) that may be
associated with the proposals and issues discussed herein.
Specifically, we seek comment on how our proposals may promote or
inhibit advances in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, as
well the scope of the Commission's relevant legal authority. We note
that diversity and equity considerations, however, do not allow the
Commission to shift fees from one party of fee payors to another nor to
raise fees for any purpose other than as an offsetting collection in
the amount of our annual S&E appropriation.
IV. Procedural Matters
33. 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.
34. Credit Card Transaction Levels. In accordance with Treasury
Financial Manual, Volume I, Part 5, Chapter 7000, Section 7045--
Limitations on Card Collection Transactions, the highest amount that
can be charged on a credit card for transactions with federal agencies
is $24,999.99. Transactions greater than $24,999.99 will be rejected.
This limit 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. Customers who wish to pay an amount greater than
$24,999.99 should consider available electronic alternatives such as
Visa or MasterCard 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 Fee Filer.
Further details will be provided regarding payment methods and
procedures at the time of FY 2022 regulatory fee collection in Fact
Sheets, <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/regfees">https://www.fcc.gov/regfees</a>.
35. Payment Methods. During the fee season for collecting
regulatory fees, regulatees can pay their fees by credit card through
<a href="http://Pay.gov">Pay.gov</a>, ACH, debit card, or by wire transfer. Additional payment
instructions are posted on the Commission's website at <a href="https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/regfees.html">https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/regfees.html</a>. 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 <a href="https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/wiretran.html">https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/wiretran.html</a>.
36. 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:
<bullet> Media Services: Regulatory fees must be paid for initial
construction permits that were granted on or before October 1, 2021 for
AM/FM radio stations, 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, 2021.
<bullet> Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must
be paid
[[Page 38593]]
for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 2021. In
instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after
October 1, 2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of
the permit or license as of the fee due date. Audio bridging service
providers are included in this category. 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 Sec.
52.103 of the Commission's rules. The unit count should be based on
toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2021.
<bullet> 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, 2021. The
number of subscribers, units, or telephone numbers on December 31, 2021
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, 2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of
the permit or license as of the fee due date.
<bullet> Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: The first seven
regulatory fee categories in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees pay
``small multi-year wireless regulatory fees.'' 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 2022.
<bullet> Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) Services
(cable television operators, Cable Television Relay Service (CARS)
licensees, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), and internet Protocol TV
(IPTV)): Regulatory fees must be paid for the number of basic cable
television subscribers as of December 31, 2021. Regulatory fees also
must be paid for CARS licenses that were granted on or before October
1, 2021. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or
assigned after October 1, 2021, 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, 2021. In
instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after
October 1, 2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of
the permit or license as of the fee due date.
<bullet> International Services: Regulatory fees must be paid for
earth stations that were licensed (or authorized) on or before October
1, 2021. Regulatory fees must also be paid for Geostationary orbit
space stations (GSO) and non-geostationary orbit satellite systems
(NGSO), and the two NGSO subcategories ``Other'' and ``Less Complex,''
that were licensed and operational on or before October 1, 2021.
Licensees of small satellites that were licensed and operational on or
before October 1, 2021 must also pay regulatory fees. In instances
where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1,
2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or
license as of the fee due date.
<bullet> 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, 2021. Regulatory fees for
terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or
leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2021, 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, 2021. Whether
circuits are used specifically for voice or data is not relevant for
purposes of determining that they are active circuits. In instances
where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1,
2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or
license as of the fee due date.
37. 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''). We have included non-geographic numbers in the
calculation of the number of subscribers for each CMRS provider in
Table 2 and the CMRS regulatory fee factor proposed in Table 3. 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 the Commission's
electronic filing and payment system (Fee Filer) along with the
carrier's Operating Company Numbers (OCNs).
38. A carrier wishing to revise its telephone number (subscriber)
count can do so by accessing Fee Filer and follow the prompts to revise
their telephone number counts. Any revisions to the telephone number
counts should be accompanied by an explanation or supporting
documentation. The Commission will then review the revised count and
supporting documentation and either approve or disapprove the
submission in Fee Filer. 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
additional supporting documentation. If we receive no response from the
provider, or we do not reverse our initial disapproval of the
provider's revised count submission, the fee payment must be based on
the number of subscribers listed initially in Fee Filer. 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 Fee Filer. A
final CMRS assessment letter will not be mailed out.
39. Because some carriers do not file the NRUF report, they may not
see their telephone number counts in Fee Filer. 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, 2021),
and submit their fee payment accordingly. Whether a carrier reviews its
telephone number counts in Fee Filer or not, the Commission reserves
the right to audit the number of telephone numbers for which regulatory
fees are paid. In the event that the Commission determines that the
number of telephone numbers that are paid is inaccurate, the Commission
will bill the carrier for the difference between what was paid and what
should have been paid.

Notes on Table 2:
\1\ The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ``Rounded New FY 2022 Regulatory Fee'' constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class
of service. The actual FY 2022 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 3.
[[Page 38596]]
\2\ The AM and FM Construction Permit revenues and the Digital (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. Reductions in the Digital (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues,
and in the AM and FM Construction Permit revenues, were offset by increases in the revenue totals for Digital 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 & Order, 69 FR 72020 (Dec. 10, 2004), and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 69 FR 72048 (Dec. 10, 2004), 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6
(2004).
\4\ The chart at the end of Table 3 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, 73 FR 50201(Aug. 26, 2008), and Further

------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2022, we
adjusted FY 2021 payment units for each service to more accurately
reflect expected FY 2022 payment liabilities. We obtained our updated
estimates through a variety of means and sources. For example, we used
Commission licensee data bases, actual prior year payment records and
industry and trade association projections, where available. The
databases we consulted include our Universal Licensing System (ULS),
International Bureau Filing System (IBFS), Consolidated Database System
(CDBS), 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.
We sought verification for these estimates from multiple sources
and, in all cases, we compared FY 2022 estimates with actual FY 2021
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 2022 and the fact that, in many services, the
number of actual licensees or station operators fluctuates from time to
time due to economic, technical, or other reasons. When we note, for
example, that our estimated FY 2022 payment units are based on FY 2021
actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2022
projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2021. We have either
rounded the FY 2022 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these
variables.

Factors, Measurements, and Calculations That Determine Station 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 Sec. Sec.
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 2010 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
2010 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.
