I. Administrative Matters
5. Ex Parte Information. The proceeding initiated by this Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, 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
[[Page 25269]]
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.
6. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, as amended (RFA), requires that an agency prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis for notice-and-comment rulemaking proceedings,
unless the agency certifies that ``the rule will not, if promulgated,
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.'' Accordingly, the Commission has prepared an Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) concerning potential rule and
policy changes contained in this NPRM. The IRFA is set forth in Section
VI. The Commission invites the general public, in particular small
businesses, to comment on the IRFA. Comments must be filed by the
deadlines for comments on the NPRM indicated on the first page of this
document and must have a separate and distinct heading designating them
as responses to the IRFA.
7. 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).
II. Introduction
8. Each fiscal year, the Commission must adopt a schedule of
regulatory fees to be assessed and collected by the end of September in
an amount that reasonably can be expected to total the Commission's
annual salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation. Pursuant to section 9
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or
Act), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, the Commission
must collect $416,112,000, which is an amount equal to its fiscal year
(FY) 2026 salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation.
9. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), we propose and
seek comment on the regulatory fees and methodology to assess and
collect $416,112,000 in congressionally required regulatory fees for FY
2026, as set forth in Tables 3 and 4. Consistent with the Commission's
long-standing regulatory fee methodology, staff has again undertaken a
high-level, yet comprehensive, analysis of the work being performed by
Commission employees to determine if identifiable full time equivalent
(FTE) time is related to the oversight and regulation of fee payors
such that it should be taken into consideration in applying our fee
methodology. Based upon this analysis, we propose to reallocate a total
of 59 FTEs as direct to the Commission's core licensing bureaus. As
described below, our proposals to increase the number of direct FTEs
allocated to a core bureau--which are substantially similar to the
Commission's determinations in fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025--
reflect our conclusion that we can determine with reasonable accuracy
that certain FTE work in the Office of Economics and Analytics, the
Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security
Bureau is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of
regulatory fee payors for regulatory fee purposes for FY 2026.
10. Moreover, using the Commission's methodology of calculating
television broadcaster regulatory fees based on population covered by
the station's contour as the Commission has since 2020, we propose
full-service broadcast television regulatory fees as set forth in Table
8. Finally, we seek comment on 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.
III. Background
11. Section 9 of the Communications Act obligates the Commission to
assess and collect regulatory fees each year, totaling an amount that
can reasonably be expected to equal the amount of its annual S&E
appropriation. Thus, the Commission has no discretion regarding the
amount of fees to be collected in any given fiscal year. Regulatory
fees cover all of the Commission's non-auctions direct, indirect, and
support costs, including costs to cover 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. Direct costs are those such as salaries and expenses, indirect
costs are those such as overhead functions, and support costs include
those such as rent, utilities, and equipment. Since regulatory fees
must recover the total amount of the Commission's S&E appropriation,
they also must cover the costs incurred in oversight and regulation of:
(1) entities that are statutorily exempt from paying regulatory fees;
(2) entities whose total assessed annual regulatory fees fall below the
annual de minimis threshold; and (3) entities whose regulatory fees are
waived. For instance, entities that are exempt from paying regulatory
fees include governmental and nonprofit entities, amateur radio
operators, and noncommercial radio and television stations.
12. Congress has prescribed a method for the Commission to collect
an amount equal to the full S&E appropriation in section 9 of the
Communications Act, by keying our regulatory fee assessment to our
``Full Time Equivalent'' or ``Full Time Employee'' (FTE) burden. One
FTE is a unit of measure equal to the work performed annually by a
full-time person (working a 40-hour workweek 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.
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.'' 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 (i.e., the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
the Media Bureau, most of the Wireline Competition Bureau, part of the
Office of International Affairs, and most of the Space Bureau). 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 NPRM, when we discuss FTEs and any change in
allocation, it is solely for regulatory fee purposes and does not
reflect proposals for the change of personnel in the various
organizational work units.
13. The total amount of the offsetting collection generally changes
each fiscal year. This means the regulatory fees due from 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. 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. Since the Communication Act's
explicit language
[[Page 25270]]
requires that fees must reflect FTEs, FTE counts are the most
administrable starting point for regulatory fee allocations, and
regulatory fees are based on the direct FTEs in core bureaus. Thus,
when considering changes, additions, or deletions to the regulatory fee
schedule, we focus on the direct FTE cost burden related to each
regulatory fee category within the core licensing bureaus. 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.
14. FTEs within a bureau are not assigned 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.'' 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. 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
regulatory fees are a zero-sum game because the Commission must collect
the full amount of its appropriation each fiscal year.
15. The Commission allocates FTEs according to the nature of the
work performed by its different organizational units. If the FTE work
directly relates to the oversight and regulation of a regulatory fee
category in one of the five core licensing bureaus then those FTEs are
considered to be direct FTEs. The Commission has 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 Work that cannot be allocated to one of those
regulatory fee categories counts as indirect FTE time. For example, the
Commission has historically determined that the burden of FTE time
devoted to non-high-cost Universal Service Fund programs is properly
categorized as indirect and has further determined to exclude
broadcasters from the fee burden associated with these indirect FTEs
because broadcasters do not directly participate in the universal
service program. On the other hand, the Commission continues to
categorize the FTE work of Office of International Affairs concerning
international bearer circuit issues, including the services provided
over submarine cables as direct because it directly relates to the
oversight and regulation of a regulatory fee category.
16. Indirect FTE time includes work associated with a wide range of
issues regarding services that are not specifically correlated with one
core bureau, let alone one specific category of regulatory fee payors.
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. 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, the Space Bureau, and the Office of International
Affairs 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.
17. Following this framework, the Commission assesses the
allocation of FTEs by first determining the number of direct non-
auctions FTEs in each of the Commission's core bureaus. 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. Other
factors the Commission takes into consideration include the annual S&E
appropriation and the projected unit estimates.
18. This means regulatory fees are initially 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
then 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.'' Specifically, staff allocates appropriated
amounts to be recovered proportionally based on the number of direct
FTEs within each core bureau. Those proportions are then subdivided and
apportioned within each core bureau into fee categories among the
regulatees being served based on the time spent on each fee category.
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. 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.
19. 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.
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
appropriated 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. Thus, the Commission's methodology excludes all spectrum
auction-related FTEs and their overhead from the regulatory fee
calculations.
20. In order to collect regulatory fees in the amount required by
its 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. For
example, if the number of units in a regulatory fee category increases,
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. The Commission will 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
[[Page 25271]]
payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.'' Pursuant to the Act,
the Commission must notify Congress immediately upon adoption of any
adjustment. The Act also requires the Commission to notify Congress at
least 90 days prior to making effective any amendments to the
regulatory fee schedule.
21. In implementing our statutory authority, we consider the
adoption of a new regulatory fee category or a change in an existing
regulatory fee category only when we develop a sufficient basis for
making the change, ensuring that our assessment of regulatory fees is
fair, administrable, and sustainable. 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.
IV. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
22. In this NPRM, we propose to adopt a schedule of regulatory fees
to be assessed and collected for FY 2026 and seek comment on those
proposals as set forth in Tables 3 and 4. As discussed below, we
propose to increase the number of FTEs that are allocated directly to
the core licensing bureaus for FY 2026 based upon the determination
that the burden of the FTE work is sufficiently linked to the oversight
and regulation of certain regulatory fee payors. In particular, we
propose to reallocate a total of 59 indirect FTEs as direct FTEs to the
Commission's core licensing bureaus from certain bureaus and offices,
while we propose to allocate no such FTE work as direct from others as
the Commission has done in the past. We also seek comment on our
proposal to continue to calculate television broadcaster regulatory
fees using the Commission's methodology of population-based full-
service broadcast television regulatory fees and whether to use a
different data source for our assessment of fees on CMRS providers.
A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees
1. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees
23. For FY 2026, we propose to assess and collect $416,112,000 in
regulatory fees, which is equal to our annual salaries and expenses
(S&E) FY 2026 appropriation. 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.'' Our first step in establishing our
regulatory fee schedule is identifying 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. Our second step is to identify the number
of direct non-auction FTEs in each core bureau for purposes of the
regulatory fee calculation. After 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. Adjustment of Reallocations of Certain Indirect FTEs as Direct FTEs
24. Using the Commission's long-standing methodology to assess
regulatory fees, staff conducted a high-level analysis of the time
utilized in the oversight and regulation of certain segments of the
telecommunications industry to propose regulatory fees for FY 2026,
which reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the
Commission's bureaus and offices, 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. Our proposals to reallocate
certain indirect FTEs as direct to one of the Commission's core bureaus
reflect our conclusion that we can determine, with reasonable accuracy
for this fiscal year, that certain FTE time from the Office of General
Counsel, the Office of Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety
and Homeland Security Bureau is devoted to work that is sufficiently
linked to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors such
that the FTE burden of that work should be allocated as direct to a
core bureau for regulatory fee purposes. As the Commission has
explained, it will continue to evaluate whether any FTEs should be
reallocated for regulatory fee purposes each year when reviewing and
validating the FTE data. The Commission, however, will exercise its
discretion regarding where to focus its analytical efforts each year to
best respond to changes in the Commission's substantive work and
organization, and changes in the telecommunications industry itself.
25. Any commenter seeking a change or modification to our proposed
methodology for FY 2026 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 explain how their proposal is fair, administrable, and
sustainable.
3. Adjustment of Reallocations of Certain Indirect FTEs as Direct FTEs
26. 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 the FTE time in the non-core bureaus and offices, as we have
done in prior years, staff has undertaken 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
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, the Enforcement Bureau, and
the Office of Engineering and Technology (and other bureaus and
offices) to determine if identifiable FTE time in those organizational
units is related to the oversight and regulation of fee payors such
that it should be taken into consideration in applying our fee
methodology. In other words, staff has examined and validated the data
to determine the proposals regarding whether any FTE time in the non-
core bureaus and offices should be reallocated to be considered as
direct FTE time to a core bureau.
27. The Commission has previously concluded 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. We do not revisit this general
determination on an annual basis because doing so is not administrable
as it would require the Commission to expend considerable resources to
attempt to calculate the constantly shifting work of its FTEs within
these organizational units. We nonetheless acknowledge that our
consideration of whether the work of our FTEs is direct or indirect can
change over time based on the priority of the Commission's work
assignments, fluctuations within industry segments, and needs of
specific regulatory fee payors. After analyzing the data for FY 2026,
we tentatively conclude that the FTE burden associated with the
majority of the work in the Commission's non-
[[Page 25272]]
core bureaus and offices remains indirect because it cannot be
attributed to specific categories of fee payors and it broadly benefits
the Commission, the entire communications industry, and the general
public.
28. Nevertheless, as the Commission has found in the past three
fiscal years, the data for FY 2026 do support a conclusion that some
measurable time is being spent by FTEs in the Office of Economics and
Analytics, the Office of General Counsel and the Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau that is directly in furtherance of the
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors in certain industry
segments such that it should be reallocated to a core bureau. The
proposals in this proceeding do not alter the functions of and
delegation of authority to the Office of Economics and Analytics, the
Office of General Counsel and the Public Safety and Homeland Security
Bureau. We therefore propose 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. Specifically,
for FY 2026, we propose reallocating 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.
Similarly, we propose reallocating three FTEs from the Office of
General Counsel as direct FTEs to a core bureaus follows: one to the
Wireline Competition Bureau, one to the Space Bureau, and one to the
Media Bureau. Likewise, we propose reallocating 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. Notably, 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. We seek comment on these
proposed reallocations.
29. Additionally, consistent with the Commission's past practice,
we propose reallocating two FTEs from the Media Bureau as indirect FTEs
because the nature of their work is similar to work performed in the
Enforcement Bureau, which we consider to be indirect. These
reallocations result in an overall proposed increase of 59 FTEs being
reallocated as direct FTEs to core bureaus.
30. Our proposals to reallocate FTEs for FY 2026 rely on staff's
validation of the data and the same analysis employed in 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. Specifically,
where the amount of work under consideration equaled .5 FTE or less, we
rounded down to the nearest whole FTE and only proposed our
reallocations in one full FTE increments. In analyzing the work of
indirect FTEs in the non-core bureaus, we applied conservative
estimates. The Commission previously concluded that less than a full-
time FTE demonstrates that the work being done is appropriately
considered to be indirect and should not be reassigned.
31. As represented below, FTE time associated with the proposed
reallocations would be added to the direct FTE totals of the relevant
core bureau. In other words, these reallocations would 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 tentatively
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 in calculating regulatory fees. We
seek comment on this conclusion.
32. Table 1 below shows the percentage of regulatory fees allocated
to each core bureau based on the proposed reallocation of a total of 59
FTEs as direct to a core bureau. Our proposed reallocations result in
an 18.58% increase in our overall direct FTE count for the fiscal year.
These reallocations would be proportionally distributed within the core
bureau. We seek comment on these reallocations for FY 2026 in Tables 3
and 4, which are based on our existing methodology and incorporate
these proposals.

33. As reflected in Table 1 above, based on these proposed
reallocations and after adjustments are made to the direct FTE counts
to implement Commission precedent, we would have a total of 376.5 non-
auctions direct FTEs for FY 2026. Accordingly, as shown in Table 2
below, we would propose to collect approximately $9.988 million (2.40%)
in fees from the Office of International Affairs regulatory fee payors;
$53.267 million (12.80%) in fees from the Space Bureau regulatory fee
payors; $113.192 million (27.20%) in fees from Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatory fee payors; $119.296 million
(28.67%%) in fees from Wireline Competition Bureau regulatory fee
payors; and $120.369 million (28.93%) in fees from Media Bureau
regulatory fee payors.

34. Any proposals or comments requesting a change or modification
to these proposed regulatory fees for FY 2026 should include a thorough
analysis showing a sufficient basis for making the change and should
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 proposed
alternative options are fair, administrable, and sustainable.
35. While above we have proposed reallocating some FTEs from the
Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and
the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct to a core
bureau, to date, our analysis of the work of FTEs in the Office of
Engineering and Technology, Enforcement Bureau, and Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau has not justified similar reallocations. In
prior orders, the Commission has continually reached this conclusion,
and we are aware of nothing specific in FY 2026 that would support a
different approach. For example, in previously examining the work of
FTEs in the Office of Engineering and Technology, the Commission has
repeatedly explained that the office provides engineering and technical
expertise to the agency as a whole and supports each of the agency's
core bureaus. Likewise, the Commission has long concluded that
Enforcement Bureau oversight is focused on the integrity of
Commission's rules and ensuring the implementation of the
Communications Act, which is FTE work that benefits the agency as a
whole and directly benefits the American public, and not one particular
group of regulatory fee payors. Similarly, in prior evaluations of the
work of FTEs in the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, the
Commission has observed that the bureau is primarily devoted to
developing and implementing consumer policies as required by the
Communications Act, including disability rights, consumer education,
processing informal complaints, outreach to state, local, and Tribal
governments, and oversight more generally of the telecommunications
industry (e.g., establishing and oversight of the Reassigned Numbers
Database). In sum, historically, the Commission has found it would not
be equitable for any one regulatory fee group of payors to shoulder the
FTE burden of such work.
36. In the FY 2023 Report and Order, the Commission explained that,
as part of its annual FTE analysis, it will continue to evaluate
whether any FTEs should be reallocated for regulatory fee purposes when
reviewing and
[[Page 25274]]
validating the FTE data, but it noted that in doing so, it will
exercise its discretion regarding where to focus its analytical efforts
each year in order to best respond to changes in the Commission's
substantive work and organization, and changes in the
telecommunications industry itself. The Commission therefore indicated
that where its analysis merits inclusion of proposed reallocations, it
will seek comment on any such potential reallocation of FTEs in an
annual proceeding. In other words, consistent with our existing
methodology, we will reevaluate the nature of work performed within the
non-core bureaus and offices if there is a reasoned basis to determine
that measurable FTE work is being done within an organizational unit
that should be reallocated to be direct to an identifiable category of
fee payors.
37. We invite commenters 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. For instance, have there
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 suggest that there would now be
measurable FTE work being performed in the Office of Engineering and
Technology, Enforcement Bureau, or Consumer and Governmental Affairs
Bureau that directly benefits a specific category of fee payors? In
particular, have there been changes in any industry segment or any
increases in the specific work performed by staff of the Commission
that necessitate a reevaluation of our general determination that the
work being performed by FTEs within these organizational units remains
indirect? Are there any significant rulemakings or adjudications
involving the FTEs from the Office of Engineering and Technology,
Enforcement Bureau, or Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau that
might warrant further examination of whether there is measurable FTE
work in these organizational units being devoted directly in
furtherance of the oversight and regulation of specific fee payors?
Have there been substantial changes such that the Commission's
previously articulated policy reasons for treating these FTEs as
indirect no longer hold? How can we ensure that the nature of any such
identified work would remain consistent throughout the fiscal year, and
that any recategorization of FTE work from indirect to direct would
adhere to our statutory requirements and be consistent with our goal of
a regulatory fee system that is fair, administrable and sustainable? In
the absence of changes in fact or law, we request that commenters
refrain from filing comments advancing repetitious arguments advocating
for new categories of fee payors that have previously been declined by
the Commission.
B. Broadcast Television Stations
38. For FY 2026, we also 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 as the
Commission has since 2020. The population-based methodology conforms
with the service authorized here--broadcasting television to the
American people. We further propose to continue our 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. 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.
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. However,
consistent with the Commission's prior decisions, we will continue to
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. We seek
comment on our mechanism for how we will calculate the regulatory fee
based on the previously decided population-based methodology. We
propose adopting a factor of $.006957 per population served for the FY
2026 full-power broadcast television station fee. The population data
for each licensee and the population-based fee (population multiplied
by $.006957 for each full-power broadcast television station) are
listed in Table 8. 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. We seek comment on these
proposed fees.
C. CMRS and Mobile Services Assessments
39. Pursuant to statute, the Commission's regulatory fee
assessments are keyed to the FTE burden associated with the oversight
and regulation of its regulatory fee payors. For each regulatory fee
payor category, the Commission must have a mechanism to apportion the
fee within a category. For some payors, the unit measure is per
license; for other payors, it is per subscriber or it relates to
population served. Since FY 2004, the Commission has used a unit
measure methodology of assessing regulatory fees for CMRS providers
based on the count of ``assigned numbers'' reported in providers'
biannual Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) filings, with
such data serving as a proxy for a provider's subscriber count.
40. Given the passage of time and new data collections adopted and
implemented by the Commission that also provide the Commission with
visibility into CMRS providers' subscriber counts, we seek comment on
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. Would another source of data result in a unit measure for
CMRS providers that would better achieve our goal that all aspects of
our regulatory fee methodology be fair, sustainable, and administrable?
For instance, would using mobile subscription data that service
providers are required to submit into the Broadband Data Collection
(BDC) system to determine CMRS unit counts for regulatory fee purposes
be administratively easier for both the Commission and fee payors?
Providers of mobile services, among others, must submit subscription
data required under FCC Form 477 into the BDC system. Would using
another source of data like the BDC lead to a more accurate outcome?
Keeping in mind our statutory obligation to amend the fee schedule with
factors that are reasonably related to the benefit of the payor of the
fee and our policy goal of ensuring that our regulatory fees are fair,
administrable, and sustainable, what are the tradeoffs in using one
data source over another? For the purposes of the Commission's ability
to determine most accurately a CMRS provider's unit counts for the
assessment of regulatory fees, are there discernable variances between
the Commission's data sources that make one fairer than another? We ask
commenters to provide detailed
[[Page 25275]]
comments regarding why one data source may provide a superior basis
than the other for the purposes of assessing CMRS regulatory fees.
41. To the extent we adopt a change to the data used to assess
regulatory fees for this category of fee payors, any such changes would
not be implemented until FY 2027 to allow fee payors the opportunity to
prepare for the change and also to comply with relevant congressional
notification requirements.
D. Improving the Regulatory Fee Process
42. As part of the Commission's statutory obligation to assess and
collect regulatory fees each fiscal year in an amount equal to its
annual S&E appropriation, the Commission strives to consider ways in
which it can improve the regulatory fee process. In implementing our
section 9 authority, we consider the adoption of a new regulatory fee
category or a change in an existing regulatory fee category only when
we develop a sufficient basis for making the change, and we work to
ensure that all changes serve the goal of ensuring that our assessment
of regulatory fees is fair, administrable, and sustainable. 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. As explained
herein, our meticulous approach to making changes to our process and
methodology ensures that our actions in assessing regulatory fees are
fair, administrable, and sustainable. For FY 2026, we again invite
comment ``on ways to improve our regulatory fee process.'' Commenters
should be mindful of the Commission's prior conclusions with respect to
past proposals and fully explain the legal bases for any proposals they
make and how such proposals fit within the Commission's statutory
authority, precedent, and existing regulatory fee methodology.
43. Specifically, for the last several years, the Commission has
rejected proposals for new fee categories offered by commenters because
they have failed to satisfy the fair, administrable, and sustainable
standard. After reviewing the FTE data for this fiscal year and the
expected work of those FTEs, we tentatively conclude that there is no
basis upon which to propose new fee categories. Commenters that
disagree with this tentative conclusion should provide detailed
evidence of materially changed circumstances, rather than reiterate
arguments that the Commission has historically declined to adopt.
V. Procedural Matters
44. Included below are procedural items as well as our current
payment and collection methods. We include these payments and
collection procedures to remind regulatory fee payers and the public
about these aspects of the annual regulatory fee collection process.
45. 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 customer 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''). Transactions greater than the Maximum Limits will be
rejected. If a customer 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.
Customers who wish to pay an amount greater than $24,999.99 should
consider available electronic alternatives such as debit cards,
Automated 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, <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/regfees">https://www.fcc.gov/regfees</a>.
46. 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://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees">https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees</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://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer">https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer</a>.
47. 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:
48. 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.
49. 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. 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. The unit count should be based on
toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2025.
50. 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.
51. Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: The first eight regulatory
fee categories
[[Page 25276]]
in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees (first seven in our Calculation of
Fees Table) pay ``small multi-year wireless regulatory fees.'' Entities
pay these regulatory fees in advance for the entire amount covered by
the 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.
52. 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.
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.
53. 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 space
stations principally used for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO)
or On-Orbit Servicing (OOS), including Orbit Transfer Vehicles (OTV),
that were authorized or granted U.S. market access on or before October
1, 2025 must also pay regulatory fees. 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.
54. 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. 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.
55. 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 3 and the CMRS regulatory fee factor proposed in Table 4. 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).
56. 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. 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.
57. 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.
58. Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act. Consistent
with the Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act, Public Law
118-9, a summary of this document will be available on <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/proposed-rulemakings">https://www.fcc.gov/proposed-rulemakings</a>.

Notes on Table 3
\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 Table 4.
\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 & Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6 (2004).
\4\ The chart at the end of Table 4 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 Table 3 is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Table 4.
\5\ The actual full-power television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Table 8.

Table 5--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''
[[Page 25279]]
reflects licenses or permits that have been issued, but for other fee
categories, the term ``units'' reflects 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.

Table 6--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 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
[[Page 25280]]
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.
