SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0812.
Title: Exemption from Payment of
Regulatory Fees When Claiming NonProfit Status.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions, businesses, or other forprofit organizations; and State, local, or
tribal governments.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 5,300 respondents; 5,830
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes (0.5 hours).
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping; Annual, on occasion,
and one-time reporting requirements.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 159.
Total Annual Burden: 2,915 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $0.00.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
privacy impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Licensees or regulatees concerned about
disclosure of sensitive information in
any submission to the Commission may
request confidential treatment pursuant
to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, is required to
assess and collect regulatory fees from
its licensees and regulatees in order to
recover its costs incurred in conducting
enforcement, policy and rulemaking,
international and user information
services.
The purposes for the requirements are
to facilitate: (1) The statutory provision
that non-profit entities be exempt from
payment of regulatory fees; and (2) the
FCC’s ability to audit regulatory fee
payment compliance.
In order to develop a Schedule of
Regulatory Fees, the FCC must, as
accurately as possible, estimate the
number of fee payment entities and
distribute the costs. These estimates
must be adjusted to account for any
licensees or regulatees that are exempt
from payment of regulatory fees. The
FCC, therefore, requires all licensees
and regulatees that claim exemption as
non-profit entities to provide one-time
only documentation sufficient to
establish their non-profit status. Further,
the FCC is requesting that it be similarly
notified if for any reason that status
changes. The documentation necessary
to provide to the Commission will likely
take the form of an Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) Determination Letter, a
state charter indicating non-profit
status, proof of church affiliation
indicating tax exempt status, etc.
The FCC is requiring licensees or
regulatees to maintain and to make
available, upon request, for inspection
such records they would normally keep
in the course of doing business. This
will enable the FCC to conduct any
audits deemed appropriate to determine
whether fee payments were made
correctly, and will help ensure
compliance with the FCC fee exemption
policies.
While there is no change in the
burden hours for each respondent/
reporting entity, the aggregate burdens
hours have increased due to more
entities having claimed non-profit status
in the last three years.
