FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY FEE FILING GUIDE FOR ? Equipment Approval Services ? Experimental Radio Services This is an unofficial compilation of the radio services and requests for FCC actions that are subject to fees. The public should consult the Commission's Rules as set out in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for application filing requirements. Further information on fees is contained in Part 1, Subpart G of the CFR or in the Commission's Official decision implementing the Congressional Schedule of Charge. September 2000 Edition INTRODUCTION The authority to impose and collect fees and associated charges is contained in Title III, Section 3001 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Public Law 101- 39), Section 8, revised 47 U.S.C. 158, which directs the Commission to prescribe charges for certain types of services it provides to communication entities over which it has jurisdiction. This Fee Filing Guide is considered a reference guide to identify and describe all of the fee filing requirements for the Office of Engineering and Technology. It is meant to be a handy reference of the services and requests for FCC actions that are subject to a fee. The guide contains Parts A, B and C, as well as a breakdown of the types of applications, form numbers, fee amounts, payment type codes, and the mailing address for each service provided. It also contains a copy of FCC Form 159, FCC Remittance Advice Form, and instructions on its use. Part A provides instructions on how to pay a fee and identifies other processing services available to the requestor. Always read Part A before attempting to complete any of the forms required with your submission. Parts B and C provide specific information pertaining to the Office of Engineering and Technology Application Processing Branch and Experimental Licensing Branch. Regulatory fees are not required for the Office of Engineering and Technology filings. If further information is required that cannot be answered in this guide, please consult the Commission's Rules as set forth in Title 47, Part 1, Subpart G, Section 1.1101 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Additional copies of this guide may be obtained without charge by calling (202) 418-3676 or 1-800-418-3676. All fees are subject to modification as required by Congress. PART A IMPORTANT CHANGE NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS/LICENSEES WHO SUBMIT FEEABLE FILINGS The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is instituting a new system entitled, "Commission Registration System" (CORES). CORES is how you provide the FCC with basic information about your entity. Each entity doing business with the FCC is required to provide and maintain a current official address that the FCC can use to contact you. The address you provide for your entity contact will be used to mail important FCC-related information. A 10-digit FCC Registration Number (FRN) will be assigned to an entity registering with the FCC. The entity that you register will have a unique FRN that is used to identify each entity's business dealings with the FCC. The FCC will use the FRN to determine if all of an entity's fees have been paid. You are encouraged to register through the FCC's Internet CORES web site as soon as you expect to do business with the FCC. This way, you will be ready to access any of the electronic licensing systems without having to go through the registration process at the time you submit an application. The FCC began accepting Registration Numbers after July 19, 2000, on the newly revised FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice), dated February 2000, to assure proper credit of fee payments. The FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice) has been revised to accept payer and applicant FCC Registration Numbers (FRN). The Commission will continue to accept FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice), dated July 1997, without an FRN until further notice. The use of the FRN is voluntary. However, we strongly recommend that you obtain your registration number to process all payments to the Commission. To obtain a Registration Number: ? Register at www.fcc.gov and click on the CORES Registration link. ? File FCC Form 160, (CORES Registration) which is included in this package. You may obtain the form at http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html or by calling the FCC's Form Distribution Center at 1-800-418-FORM [3676]. You may also pick up the form at the Commission in room TWB200. Mailing instructions are found on the form. To obtain a revised FCC Form 159: ? A revised Remittance Advice 159 is included in this package. ? Go to http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. ? Call the FCC's Form Distribution Center a 1-800-418-Form [3676]. ? Pick up the form at the Commission in room TWB200. If you were registered in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's Universal Licensing System (ULS) and your registration included all the information we needed to issue a Registration Number, we pre-registered you and mailed you your FRN in a letter in late July 2000. You may check CORES to determine if you were automatically pre-registered. -A1- If you have not registered electronically for an FRN, you may submit your manual application for a Registration Number by filing a CORES Registration Form (FCC Form 160) with your filing and payment. You will receive a confirmation letter from the FCC through the U.S. Postal Service mail. Application filings that are nonfeeable should be accompanied by CORES Certification Form (FCC Form 162) until individual Bureau forms are re-printed to accommodate the Registration Number. FCC FORM 159 - REMITTANCE ADVICE FORM The FCC Form 159, Remittance Advice, has been revised. The newly revised FCC Form 159 is dated February 2000. This form is a multi-purpose form that must accompany payment to the Federal Communications Commission for Regulatory Fees, Processing Fees, Fines, Forfeitures, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) billings or any other debt due to the FCC. The information on this form is collected and stored in a database to ensure credit of full payment of monies due, to expedite any refunds due, and to service public inquiries. The form must be used when paying for application fees and regulatory fees. Please refer to Part B and/or C of this guide for specific form requirements. A copy of this form, with specific instructions, is attached and may be used to submit fees. Reproduced forms are acceptable. FCC Form 159C is a remittance advice continuation sheet that must be used when paying for more than two call signs in a single filing or when paying for multiple applicants in a single filing. Each call sign and/or applicant must be listed separately on the FCC Form 159/FCC Form 159C. Please refer to the relevant Bureau/Office Fee Filing Guide for the service you are requesting. The Office of Engineering and Technology, Equipment Approval Branch, does not permit multiple filings. METHOD OF PAYMENT (DO NOT SEND CASH) Payment of fees may be made by check, bank draft, money order, credit card or wire transfer. If paying by check, bank draft, money order or wire transfer, your remittance must be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. financial institution and made payable to "FCC." Applicants located in foreign countries should contact their local bank to determine what U.S. financial institution their bank is affiliated with that will allow a transfer of funds. Please keep in mind that there may be an additional fee added from the transferring bank for this service. No postdated, altered or third party checks will be accepted. No checks will be accepted for processing if older than six months. Payment of fees, fines, and other debts may also be made by electronic payment. There are two types of electronic payments available. The first type is designed specifically for larger corporations capable of CPU/CPU communication. Under this method, the payer bank wires funds directly to the Commission's lockbox bank. As with cash payments, the funds must be wired from an U.S. financial institution. The second type is designed for smaller businesses and individuals. Under this method, the lockbox bank is given authority to withdraw funds from the customer's bank account. Authorization can be transmitted by a personal computer or by calling a toll-free number. To obtain more information about electronic payment and how it works, please contact the Credit & Debt Management Group at (202) 418-1995. -A2- NONFEEABLE APPLICATIONS All nonfeeable applications filed in Washington, DC must be filed directly with the Secretary's Office, Room TWB204, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554. Please see the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Fee Filing Guide for instructions concerning filing nonfeeable applications for wireless services. FEE EXEMPT APPLICATIONS Please check the appropriate block on your application, and if you have not previously done so, provide the proper documentation, as required, to certify that your application is fee exempt. 47 CFR, Part 1, Section 1.1114 of the Commission's rules explains who qualifies as fee exempt. MANAGING DIRECTOR DECISIONS Requests for waivers, fee determinations, reconsiderations, applications for review, deferments, and specific refund requests are referred directly to the Office of the Managing Director. Each request is forwarded to the Office of General Counsel for review and legal determination. 47 CFR, Part 1, Sections 1.1113, 1.1114 & 1.1117 govern the Commission's policy in these instances. The requester will receive written notification of the Managing Director's decision. These decisions are published monthly and are placed in FCC Docket 86-285. All such requests must be submitted in writing to: Managing Director Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW, Room 1A625 Washington, DC 20554 WAIVERS, FEE DETERMINATIONS, AND DEFERRALS PROCESS The required filing fee must be paid for the service requested using the normal process. All requests for waivers, and fee determinations are filed directly with the Managing Director in Washington, DC. Deferrals of fees are also filed in Washington, DC, and have a limit of up to six months with good cause. REFUND PROCESS Routine refund requests are handled by the appropriate Bureau/Office. When a Bureau/Office determines that a refund is warranted, it is forwarded to the Office of the Managing Director, Credit & Debt Management Group for processing. The Credit & Debt Management Group (CDMG) handles all approved refund requests. The refund process usually takes four (4) weeks depending upon the complexity of the request. Once a request has been reviewed and processed by CDMG, it is forwarded to the U.S. Treasury in San Francisco, California where a check is issued to the payer of the remittance. For further information on return or refund of charges, refer to 47 CFR, Part 1, Section 1.1113 of the Commission's rules. MAILING INSTRUCTIONS Parties hand-delivering applications or filings may receive dated receipt copies of the application or filing from the acceptance clerk at the time of delivery. Receipts will be provided -A3- for mail-in applications or filings if an extra copy of the application or filing is provided along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
