Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2020

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission revises its Schedule of 
Regulatory Fees to recover an amount of $339,000,000 that Congress has 
required the Commission to collect for fiscal year 2020. Section 9 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, provides for the annual 
assessment and collection of regulatory fees under sections 9(b)(2) and 
9(b)(3), respectively.

DATES: Effective September 23, 2020. To avoid penalties and interest, 
regulatory fees should be paid by the due date of September 25, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roland Helvajian, Office of Managing 
Director at (202) 418-0444.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Report 
and Order, FCC 20-120, MD Docket No. 20-105, adopted and released on 
August 31, 2020. The full text of this document is available for public 
inspection by downloading the text from the Commission's website at

I. Administrative Matters

A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    1. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), the 
Commission has prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) 
relating to this Report and Order. The FRFA is located at the end of 
this document.

B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis

    2. 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).

C. Congressional Review Act

    2. The Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, concurs that these rules are non-major under the Congressional 
Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will send a copy of this 
Report & Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
    3. In this Report and Order, we adopt a schedule to collect the 
$339,000,000 in congressionally required regulatory fees for fiscal 
year (FY) 2020. The regulatory fees for all payors are due in September 
2020. In future rulemaking, we will seek comment on regulatory fee 
subcategories for FY 2021, for nongeostationary orbit (NGSO) 
satellites, as proposed by several commenters.
    4. Earlier this year, in the 2020 Regulatory Fee Reform Order (85 
FR 37364 (June 22, 2020)), we adopted several reforms regarding non-
U.S. licensed space stations with U.S. market access grants, the 
apportionment of full time equivalents (FTEs) within the International 
Bureau for international bearer circuits and satellite issues, the 
apportionment of FTEs within the Satellite Division of the 
International Bureau for geostationary orbit (GSO) and NGSO space 
station regulatory fee, and we adopted a limitation on population 
counts for certain very high frequency (VHF) television broadcast 
stations. In the accompanying FY 2020 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(NPRM) (85 FR 32256 (May 28, 2020)), we sought comment on a proposed 
fee schedule and also on certain issues for International Bureau and 
Media Bureau regulatees. Specifically, we sought comment on a schedule 
of proposed regulatory fees as well as certain issues: Adjusting the 
allocation of international bearer circuit (IBC) fees between submarine 
cable and terrestrial and satellite IBCs from 87.6%-12.4% to 95%-5%; 
combining the submarine cable regulatory fee tiers with new tiers for 
terrestrial and satellite IBCs in a unified tier structure; basing 
full-power broadcast television fees on the population covered by the 
station's contour; and continuing to increase the direct broadcast 
satellite (DBS) regulatory fees by 12 cents, to 72 cents, per 
subscriber, per year. In addition, we sought comment on economic 
effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic on regulatory fee payors.

II. Report and Order

A. Allocating FTEs

    5. In the FY 2020 NPRM, the Commission proposed that non-auctions 
funded FTEs will be classified as direct only if in one of the four 
core bureaus, i.e., in the Wireline Competition Bureau, the Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, the Media Bureau, or the International 
Bureau. The indirect FTEs are from the following bureaus and offices: 
Enforcement Bureau, Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Public 
Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, Chairman 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 employees in the Wireline 
Competition Bureau and the International Bureau that the Commission 
previously classified as indirect.
    6. We will continue to apportion regulatory fees across fee 
categories based on the number of direct FTEs in each core bureau and 
the proportionate number of indirect FTEs and to take into account 
factors that are reasonably related to the payor's benefits. In sum, 
there were 311 direct FTEs for FY 2020, distributed among the core 
bureaus as follows: International Bureau (28), Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau (73), Wireline Competition Bureau (94), and 
the Media Bureau (116). This results in 9.00% of the FTE allocation for 
International Bureau regulatees; 23.47% of the FTE allocation for 
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; 30.23% of the FTE 
allocation for Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and 37.30% of 
FTE allocation for Media Bureau regulatees. There are 911 indirect FTEs 
that are allocated proportionally to the 311 direct FTEs: Enforcement 
Bureau (181), Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (113), Public 
Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (89), part of the International 
Bureau (56), part of the Wireline Competition Bureau (38), Chairman and 
Commissioners' offices (23), Office of the Managing Director (132), 
Office of General Counsel (70), Office of the Inspector General (45), 
Office of Communications Business Opportunities (8), Office of 
Engineering and Technology (72), Office of Legislative Affairs (8), 
Office of Workforce Diversity (6), Office of Media

[[Page 59865]]

Relations (14), Office of Economics and Analytics (53), and Office of 
Administrative Law Judges (3). Allocating these indirect FTEs based on 
the direct FTE allocations yields an additional 82.0 FTEs attributable 
to International Bureau regulatees, 213.8 FTEs attributable to Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau regulatees, 275.4 FTEs attributable to 
Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees, and 339.8 FTEs attributable to 
Media Bureau regulatees.
    7. As in prior years, broadcasters have taken issue with the 
Commission's practice of allocating costs associated with indirect FTEs 
in proportion to each core bureau's direct FTEs. Broadcasters suggest 
that the methodology should instead consider whether the functions of 
specific indirect FTEs benefit specific regulatory fee payors. We 
affirm the findings in our FY 2019 regulatory fee proceeding, where we 
explained in detail our existing methodology for assessing fees, noted 
the changes in the statute, and sought comment on what changes to our 
regulatory fee methodology, if any, were necessary to implement the RAY 
BAUM'S Act amendments to our regulatory fee authority. After review of 
the comments received, we determined in the FY 2019 Report and Order 
(84 FR 50890 (Sept. 26, 2019)) that because the new section 9 closely 
aligned to how the Commission assessed and collected fees under the 
prior section 9, we would hew closely to the existing methodology, 
expressly rejecting any suggestion that the Commission should abandon 
the step in our process whereby we designate FTEs as either direct or 
indirect and allocate indirect FTEs in proportion to the direct FTEs in 
each of the core bureaus. The National Association of Broadcasters 
(NAB) also asserts after evaluating the FTE allocations within the 
bureaus and offices, the Commission failed to also consider other 
factors that reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payors, 
particularly the radio industry. But as noted above, it has been the 
Commission's longstanding methodology to use direct FTEs as a measure 
of the benefits provided, and the Commission engages in a fresh review 
of the FTE allocations each year as part of its annual proceeding.

B. Direct Broadcast Satellite Regulatory Fees

    8. Direct broadcast satellite service is a nationally distributed 
subscription service that delivers video and audio programming via 
satellite to a small parabolic dish antenna at the subscriber's 
location. The two DBS providers, AT&T and DISH Network, are 
multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs). In 2015, the 
Commission adopted an initial regulatory fee for DBS, as a subcategory 
in the cable television and internet protocol (IPTV) category. The 
Commission then phased in the new Media Bureau-based regulatory fee for 
DBS, starting at 12 cents per subscriber per year. For FY 2020, the 
Commission proposed to increase the fee to 72 cents per subscriber, per 
year.
    9. AT&T and DISH--the two DBS operators in the United States--claim 
that the proposed fee increase of 12 cents is not ``because the 
nation's two DBS providers have caused the Commission to incur 
significant full-time equivalent (`FTE') employee costs commensurate 
with this calculation, but rather because the Commission apparently 
desires regulatory fee parity between cable operators and DBS 
providers.'' We reject AT&T's and DISH's claim that we should not adopt 
a fee increase and that such an increase would result in shifting 
cable-caused costs to DBS providers. The Media Bureau relies on a 
common pool of FTEs to carry out its oversight of MVPDs and other video 
distribution providers. A significant number of Media Bureau FTEs work 
on MVPD issues such as market modifications, must-carry and 
retransmission consent disputes, program carriage complaints, media 
modernization efforts, and proposed transactions, that affect all 
MVPDs. A significant number of Media Bureau FTEs work on MVPD issues 
such as market modifications, must-carry and retransmission consent 
disputes, program carriage complaints, media modernization efforts, and 
proposed transactions, that affect all MVPDs. Therefore, we adopt the 
proposal in the FY 2020 NPRM to continue to phase in the DBS regulatory 
fee by 12 cents, to 72 cents per subscriber, per year. This increase 
will result in a regulatory fee of 89 cents per subscriber, per year, 
for cable television/IPTV, and bring DBS closer to parity with cable 
television/IPTV.
    10. Finally, the DBS providers contend that the Commission should 
use an MVPD subscriber snapshot closer in time to the regulatory fee 
order release date due to declining subscriber counts. The use of a 
more recent customer data, such as in June or July, would preclude the 
Commission from retrieving, reviewing, and using the information while 
drafting the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and seeking comment on 
proposed fees, a critical step in the annual regulatory fee process. 
Accordingly, we decline to adjust the date of the MVPD subscriber count 
snapshot.

C. Television Broadcaster Regulatory Fees

    11. Historically, regulatory fees for full-power television 
stations were based on the Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA) 
groupings 1-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100, and remaining markets (DMAs 101-
210. In the FY 2018 Report and Order (83 FR 47079 (Sept. 18, 2018)), we 
adopted a new methodology that would transition from a blended fee 
based methodology to one that is based entirely on population. 
Accordingly, we now adopt FY 2020 fees for full-power broadcast 
television stations based on the population covered by a full-power 
broadcast television station's contour. Table 9 lists this population 
data for each licensee and the population-based fee (population 
multiplied by $.007837) for each full-power broadcast television 
station, including each satellite station.
    12. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we also proposed to adjust the fees of 
Puerto Rico broadcasters in two discrete ways. First, we proposed to 
account for the objectively measurable reduction in population by 
reducing the population counts used in TVStudy by 16.9%, which reflects 
the decline between the last census in 2010 and the current population 
estimate. Second, we proposed to limit the market served by a primary 
television stations and commonly owned satellite broadcast stations in 
Puerto Rico to no more than 3.10 million people, the latest population 
estimate. Under this scenario, the fee for television broadcasters and 
commonly owned satellites, using the proposed population fee of 
$.007837, would not exceed $24,300. Accordingly, we adopt these 
adjustments and the proposed regulatory fees for these television 
broadcasters.
    13. We disagree with arguments attempting to relitigate our 
treatment of VHF stations. Several commenters contend that ultra high 
frequency (UHF) stations should pay a higher fee than VHF stations 
because VHF stations have to overcome additional background 
interference that is prevalent in large cities. In the 2020 Regulatory 
Fee Reform Order, we declined to categorically lower regulatory fees 
for VHF stations to account for signal limitations, and concluded that 
there is nothing inherent in VHF transmission that creates signal 
deficiencies but that environmental noise issues can affect reception 
in certain areas and situations. As such, we grant VHF stations that 
operate at higher power levels to overcome interference an assessed

[[Page 59866]]

amount at power levels authorized by our rules.

D. Radio Broadcaster Regulatory Fees

    14. The FY 2020 NPRM proposed the same methodology for assessing 
radio broadcasters as in prior years. This methodology involves first 
identifying the FTEs doing work directly benefitting regulatees. The 
total collection target is then allocated across all regulatory fee 
categories based on the number of total FTEs. Each regulatee within a 
fee category then pays its proportionate share based on an objective 
measure of size (e.g., revenues or number of subscribers). The 
methodology, as is the case with many regulatees, uses both population 
and type of license as a metric for benefit afforded the payor.
    15. Use of this methodology results in net increases in the amount 
of regulatory fees assessed to radio broadcast categories compared to 
FY 2019. In continuing to review our unit numbers, however, we 
discovered a computational error and correct it here by increasing the 
number of units used in the calculation from 9,636 to 9,831 which 
results in lower fees than proposed in the FY 2020 NPRM. Below is a 
chart showing the regulatory fees by category of radio broadcaster for 
FY 2020 adjusted to account for the correction:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    16. Radio broadcasters argue that any increases to their regulatory 
fees for FY 2020 are unreasonable because the total amount appropriated 
to the Commission for FY 2020 did not increase from FY 2019, and the 
number of FTEs in the Media Bureau increased by only one from FY 2019. 
Accordingly, they claim that the regulatory fees for radio broadcast 
categories for FY 2020 should be frozen at their FY 2019 levels. The 
radio broadcasters' arguments, however, reflect an incomplete 
understanding of the methodology that the Commission has used for 
years. As described above and in the FY 2020 NPRM, the long-standing 
methodology for assessing regulatory fees involves multiple factors 
besides the amount of appropriation to be recovered and the number of 
direct FTEs. Specifically, two factors affecting calculation of radio 
broadcasters' fees changed significantly between FY 2019 and FY 2020, 
and resulted in the increase in regulatory fees for radio broadcasters. 
First, the Media Bureau's allocation percentage increased from 35.9% in 
FY 2019 to 37.3% in FY 2020. (Mathematically, the year-to-year change 
in the absolute number of direct FTEs in a core bureau does not by 
itself determine the share of overall regulatory fees that should be 
borne by regulatees of that bureau, because the bureau's allocation 
percentage also depends on the overall number of Commission direct 
FTEs, which changes year to year.) Furthermore, because indirect FTEs 
are proportionately allocated by a bureau's share of direct FTEs, this 
increase in the percentage of direct FTEs also resulted in an increase 
in the amount of indirect FTEs being allocated to Media Bureau fee 
categories. This then resulted in an increase in the overall fees for 
radio broadcasters as a group. Second, the total number of radio 
broadcasters (projected fee-paying units) unexpectedly dropped by 180 
from FY 2019 to FY 2020. The net effect of these two changes resulted 
in increased regulatory fees for individual radio broadcaster fee 
paying units for FY 2020.
    17. We disagree with the radio broadcasters that we should ignore 
our long-standing methodology in order to freeze regulatory fees for 
(and thus benefit) radio broadcasters at the expense of other 
regulatees (such as television broadcasters). Because the Commission is 
statutorily obligated to recover the amount of its appropriation 
through regulatory fees, these fees are a zero-sum situation. Thus, if 
the Commission freezes one set of regulatees' fees, it would need to 
increase another set of regulatees' fees to make up for any resulting 
shortfall in a way that is inconsistent with the longstanding 
methodology described in the FY 2020 NPRM. We accordingly decline to 
freeze the radio broadcaster regulatory fees at their FY 2019 levels 
and instead adopt the radio broadcaster fees as adjusted in this Report 
and Order.

E. Toll Free Numbering Regulatory Fees

    18. Toll free numbers allow callers to reach the called party 
without being charged for the call. With toll free calls, the charge 
for the call is paid by the called party (the toll free subscriber) 
instead. ATL Communications, a RespOrg, filed comments to the 
Commission's proposed regulatory fees for fiscal year 2020. In its 
comments, ATL does not address the issues that are the subject of this 
proceeding, but instead raises specific questions related to 
international toll free calls involving Canada, tracking fee 
exemptions, control and ownership of toll free numbers, and the 
consequences for failure to pay assessed regulatory fees. Upon review, 
we find no convincing evidence in ATL's comments that warrants a change 
to the regulatory fee obligation, as it applies to toll free numbers.

F. Market Access Space Station Regulatory Fees

    19. In the 2020 Regulatory Fee Reform Order, we concluded that non-
U.S. licensed space stations granted access to the market in the United 
States (market access grants) will be included in the FY 2020 GSO and 
NGSO space station regulatory fees. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we accordingly 
proposed to collect regulatory fees from most, but not all, non-U.S. 
licensed space stations granted U.S. market access, and we follow 
through and adopt such fees here.

[[Page 59867]]

    20. We disagree with the two commenters that assert that we do not 
have such authority. We will not repeat the lengthy analysis from the 
2020 Regulatory Fee Reform Order here, but will summarize the issues.
    21. The core of our analysis is that we impose fees on regulatees 
that reflect the ``benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the 
Commission's activities.'' Holders of market access grants clearly 
benefit from the activities of the Commission--and nothing in the 
language of the Act suggests Congress intended to preclude such 
entities from the ambit of regulatory fees. We conclude that the 
legislative history of the Act posed no bar to assessing regulatory 
fees on non-U.S. licensed space stations granted U.S. market access via 
the formal process first adopted by the Commission in 1997.
    22. The Commission is required by Congress to assess regulatory 
fees each year in an amount that can reasonably be expected to equal 
the amount of its appropriation. 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.'' Our order amply explained how requests for market access 
have become a significant portion of the applications processed by the 
Commission and that holders of market access grants regularly 
participate in Commission activities. Thus, such entities derive many 
benefits from the activities of Commission staff. Additionally, 
commenters argue that non-U.S.-licensed space stations are not subject 
to regulatory fees because they provide ``nonregulated services.'' The 
argument ignores the fact that operators of non-U.S.-licensed space 
stations granted market access are subject to the same service rules 
and operating conditions as those that apply to U.S. licensed 
operators.
    23. We also disagree with arguments that the proposed regulatory 
fees for non-U.S licensed space stations with U.S. market access grants 
are too high because we set the same regulatory fee for U.S. licensed 
and non-U.S. licensed space stations. As we discussed in the FY 2020 
NPRM, the number of space stations seeking U.S. market access has 
continued to increase each year; in 2019 there were more market access 
petitions than U.S. space station applications. In addition, as we 
noted, foreign-licensed space station operators participate actively in 
Commission rulemaking proceedings and benefit from Commission 
monitoring and enforcement activities. We concluded that the Commission 
devotes significant resources to processing the growing number of 
market access petitions of non-U.S. licensed satellites and that those 
foreign licensed satellites with U.S. market access benefit from much 
of the same oversight and regulation by the Commission as the U.S. 
licensed satellites. For that reason, we concluded that assessing the 
same regulatory fees on non-U.S. licensed space stations with market 
access grants as we assess on U.S. licensed space stations will better 
reflect the benefits received by these operators through the 
Commission's adjudicatory, enforcement, regulatory, and international 
coordination activities and will promote regulatory parity and fairness 
among space station operators by evenly distributing the regulatory 
cost recovery.
    24. Finally, the non-U.S. licensed satellite operators argue that 
they should not pay the same amount of indirect costs as the U.S. 
licensed satellite operators because they receive fewer benefits from 
the Commission. They contend that the Commission's regulatory activity 
at international organizations is designed to promote and protect the 
interests of U.S. satellite operators and that the indirect FTEs across 
the agency largely support U.S. telecommunications policy.
    25. U.S. licensed satellite operators disagree and observe that the 
non-U.S. licensed satellite operators receive the same or more benefits 
from the Commission as do U.S. licensed satellite operators. They 
observe that in another proceeding the non-U.S. licensed operators in 
the C-Band Alliance have stressed the practical similarities between 
the market access grants and U.S. licensed space stations. SpaceX 
contends that the foreign licensed operators overlook the tremendous 
benefit of access to the U.S market and that the Commission's 
regulatory activities maximize the value of the market access.
    26. We find that the non-U.S. licensed operators are ignoring the 
fact that the Commission devotes significant resources to processing 
the growing number of market access petitions of foreign licensed 
satellites and that the foreign licensed satellite operators benefit 
from much of the same oversight and regulation by the Commission as the 
U.S. licensed satellites, such as processing a petition for market 
access requires evaluation of the same legal and technical information 
as required of U.S. licensed applicants. The operators of non-U.S. 
licensed space stations also benefit from the Commission's oversight 
efforts regarding all space and earth station operations in the U.S. 
market, since enforcement of Commission rules and policies in 
connection with all operators provides a fair and safe environment for 
all participants in the U.S. marketplace. Thus, the significant 
benefits to non-U.S. licensed satellites with U.S. market access 
support including them in the GSO and NGSO regulatory fee categories 
for U.S. licensed space stations.
    27. To the extent some commenters argue that foreign licensed space 
stations do not benefit from Commission regulatory activity after the 
space station is operational, and that compliance with market access 
conditions are pre-operational assessments that occur before the 
licensee is subject to any regulatory fees, we disagree. Both U.S. 
licensed space stations and non-U.S. licensed space stations often make 
changes to their operations after they have been brought into service, 
through modification applications or petitions. Ongoing U.S. licensed 
and non-U.S. licensed space station operations are subject to, and 
benefit from, the rulemaking and other regulatory activities described 
above during the entire service period of the space station. In 
addition, we do not agree that the relevant processing costs incurred 
should only be assessed in the country where the space station is 
licensed, and that assessing fees in the United States for the same 
processing costs would be duplicative. Moreover, the Commission's 
substantial regulatory efforts for satellite services benefit non-U.S. 
licensed space station operators with market access and it would be 
inequitable to continue charging only U.S. licensees for these benefits 
to foreign operators.
    28. Commenters also argue that we should exempt or adopt a reduced 
fee for non-U.S. licensed GSO satellites in certain circumstances. We 
adopt one of these proposals and reject the others. Eutelsat argues 
that U.S. licensed earth stations onboard vessels (ESVs) operating 
outside U.S. territorial waters and communicating with foreign licensed 
satellites should not be subject to regulatory fees.
    29. Eutelsat argues that U.S. licensed earth stations onboard 
vessels (ESVs) operating outside U.S. territorial waters and 
communicating with foreign licensed satellites should not be subject to 
regulatory fees. These operations are similar, in regulatory treatment, 
to those of earth stations aboard aircraft (ESAAs) operating outside 
the United States and communicating with non-U.S. licensed space 
stations. We agree that the same

[[Page 59868]]

rationale also applies here. Accordingly, non-U.S. licensed space 
stations that are listed as a point of communication on ESV licenses 
are exempt from the regulatory fee obligations if the ESV license 
clearly limits U.S. licensed ESV terminals' access to these non-U.S. 
licensed space stations to situations in which these terminals are in 
foreign territories and/or international waters and the license does 
not otherwise allow the non-U.S. licensed space station access to the 
U.S. market.
    30. Two commenters propose fee exemptions for certain non-U.S. 
licensed satellite systems based on the theory that they are not 
actually providing services in the United States. Astranis proposes 
that foreign licensed satellites accessing U.S. gateway/feeder link 
earth stations should be exempt from regulatory fees, because these 
satellites are not providing commercial services to the U.S. market but 
are just obtaining services from the U.S.-based earth stations. 
Astranis argues, the provision of gateway or feeder link services to 
foreign satellites is a benefit to the earth station operators. AWS 
proposes that non-U.S. licensed NGSO systems that downlink traffic to 
U.S. licensed earth stations, solely for immediate transit outside the 
United States and not intended for U.S. customers, should be exempt 
from regulatory fees. We disagree with both proposals. Unlike the 
limited exemptions adopted for operations exclusively outside the 
United States or for TT&C operations that are directed to the safe and 
effective operation of the satellite in orbit, the proposed exceptions 
are for services provided in the United States and involve data 
operations unrelated to the safe and effective satellite operations in 
orbit. These data services could involve significant data exchange 
traffic in the United States. Feeder link earth stations are located in 
the United States and carry data to and from various users. Further, 
the direction of the data flow is irrelevant in the context of 
regulatory fees. We therefore reject both proposals.
    31. Two commenters propose exemptions or reduced fees based on 
coverage area. Astranis proposes that we adopt a tiered fee structure 
based on the U.S. population with the satellite's coverage area, so 
that the non-U.S. licensed satellite regulatory fee can more directly 
relate to the costs incurred by the Commission and benefits received by 
the U.S. and foreign licensed payors. SES proposes that foreign 
licensed satellites whose U.S. coverage is limited to one or more 
territories in the Pacific Ocean (Guam, American Samoa, Midway Island, 
Wake Island, and the Northern Mariana Islands) be exempt from 
regulatory fees because of the distance from mainland United States and 
the few number of potential customers located on these islands. 
Astranis contends that similar considerations apply to other remote and 
underserved areas, such as Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Caribbean 
territories. It argues an exception for these areas would allow 
satellite operators to better meet the Commission's goal of affordable, 
high-speed internet access in those underserved areas, and therefore 
should be exempt from regulatory fees for satellites with a service 
area outside the contiguous United States comprising less than one 
percent of the U.S. population. Telesat disagrees with this proposal to 
exempt non-U.S. licensed satellites from regulatory fees because these 
factors would apply equally to U.S. licensed satellites and also to 
other geographic areas. Telesat suggests that if a foreign or U.S. 
licensed operator contends that under certain facts it would be 
inappropriate to pay regulatory fees, they should request a waiver. We 
agree with Telesat and reject the argument for exemptions or reduced 
fees based on the U.S. geographic areas served by the space station. 
Commenters have not shown that providing service to a remote area would 
reduce the International Bureau's costs or affect the benefits to the 
regulatee.

G. Non-Geostationary Orbit Space Station Regulatory Fees

    32. In the 2020 Regulatory Fee Reform Order we decided to allocate 
80% of space station fees to GSO space stations and 20% of space 
stations fees to NGSO space stations based upon the number of 
applications processed, the rulemakings, and the number of FTEs working 
on oversight for each category of operators. In response to the 
proposed GSO and NGSO regulatory fees in the FY 2020 NRPM, commenters 
assert that we should adopt separate fee categories for distinct types 
of NGSO systems, argue we should phase in the NGSO fee increase and not 
increase by more than 7.5% per year, and question the accuracy of our 
list of non-U.S. licensed space stations granted market access that 
would be subject to regulatory fees. We find that there is not 
sufficient evidence in the record to establish different fees for NGSO 
systems at this time and will seek comment on the issue in future 
rulemaking. We decline to phase in the NGSO fee increase as 
inconsistent with section 9 of the Act and adopt the proposed fees, 
adjusted to take into account changes to the number of assessible 
satellites. We agree, however, with the suggestion to publish a list of 
the space stations and systems in operation that would be subject to 
regulatory fees and attach such list in Table 8.
    33. We disagree with commenters that object to the proposed fees 
for NGSO systems as too high for certain NGSOs and contend that the 
Commission should adopt separate fee categories for distinct types of 
NGSO systems, that the Commission should apportion the FTEs based on 
different types of NGSOs, or that we have not established that the 
actual benefits provided to NGSO payors are equal. That NGSO systems 
may differ in size or other characteristics does not preclude grouping 
them in the same fee category. The Commission groups similar services 
for regulatory fee purposes, regardless of the varying regulatory 
obligations of each entity and without calculating how many FTEs are 
devoted to each individual regulation, because activity levels and 
participation in specific proceedings may change from year to year, 
such as when interconnected Voice over internet Protocol (VoIP) 
providers were added to the interstate telecommunications service 
providers (ITSP) category. We did not propose differential treatment of 
NGSOs in the FY 2020 NPRM, and we do not see compelling reasons to 
deviate from our traditional assessment methods based on the record 
before us now.
    34. Some contend that given the broad range of NGSO networks 
serving or planning to serve the United States market, the Commission 
should adopt a multi-tiered approach based on total number of 
satellites deployed and total transmit bandwidth. SpaceX contends that 
these commenters have not shown any meaningful tie between the number 
of satellites in an NGSO system and the use of Commission resources. We 
agree that there is not sufficient evidence in the record to establish 
different fees for sized NGSO systems. Accordingly, we will seek 
further comment in future rulemaking.
    35. We disagree with commenters who argue that the proposed 
increase in NGSO regulatory fees requires us to phase in the fee 
increase over time, and not increase by more than 7.5% per year. SpaceX 
argues that the significant increase in fees for NGSO systems justify a 
7.5% cap. We disagree. A cap for one fee category would result in an 
increase in the other fee categories. We are required under section 9 
of the Act to adopt fees that ``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

[[Page 59869]]

related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the 
Commission's activities.'' And given the large amount of work the 
Commission has done on NGSO systems over the past year, we find the 
benefits of Commission oversight for such systems substantial. For 
these reasons, we decline to adopt a phased in approach or a cap in 
regulatory fees.
    36. Finally, commenters raise issues with the accuracy of our list 
of non-U.S. licensed space stations granted market access that would be 
subject to regulatory fees. Eutelsat contends that the Commission 
erroneously included Eutelsat 172B as both U.S. and foreign licensed 
and it should be removed from the foreign licensed list. Commenters 
propose that the Commission identify the U.S. licensed and foreign 
licensed GSO and NGSO space stations that will be subject to regulatory 
fees to enable operators to review the list for accuracy. Telesat 
disagrees and suggests that any errors can be resolved by discussions 
with individual operators. We agree with the suggestion to publish list 
the space stations and systems in operation that would be subject to 
regulatory fees. We have attached the list of U.S. licensed operators 
and foreign licensed operators with U.S. market access in Table 8 and 
any party identifying an error should advise Commission staff by 
contacting the Financial Operations Help Desk at 877-480-3201, Option 
6.

H. International Bearer Circuit Regulatory Fees

    37. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we sought comment on the allocation of IBC 
fees and adopting new tiers for the fees. As discussed below, we find 
that capacity is an appropriate measure by which to assess IBC fees. We 
also find that the allocation between submarine cables and terrestrial 
and satellite circuits should be changed to reflect the changing 
distribution of international capacity as more and larger submarine 
cables are put into service. Hence, we do not adopt a unified tier 
structure at this time but will continue to assess fees based on active 
terrestrial and satellite circuits and on lit capacity of submarine 
cables. We do, however, adjust the tiers for submarine cables.
    38. IBC regulatory fees reflect the work performed by the 
International Bureau, primarily the Telecommunications and Analysis 
Division and the Office of the Bureau Chief, for the benefit of all 
U.S. international telecommunications service providers, and our 
submarine cable licensees. International telecommunications service is 
provided over terrestrial, satellite, and submarine cable facilities. 
In the 2020 Regulatory Reform Order, we concluded, based on a review by 
the International Bureau, that eight FTEs should be allocated to IBCs 
for regulatory fee purposes, and 20 FTEs to the satellite category.
    39. IBC fees consist of (1) active terrestrial and satellite 
circuits, and (2) lit submarine cable systems. Prior to 2009, IBC fees 
were collected based on the number of 64 kbps circuits for each of the 
three types of facilities used to provide international service. In 
2009, the Commission changed the methodology for assessing IBC fees 
from basing the fee on 64 kbps circuits for all types of IBCs to 
assessing fees for submarine cable operators on a per cable landing 
license basis, with higher fees for larger capacity submarine cable 
systems and lower fees for smaller capacity submarine cable systems. 
The Commission concluded that this methodology served the public 
interest and was competitively neutral because it included both common 
carriers and non-common carriers. Under this bifurcated approach, based 
on the 2009 Consensus Proposal from the submarine cable operators, 
87.6% of IBC fees were assessed to submarine cable systems and 12.4% to 
terrestrial and satellite facilities based on relative capacity at the 
time. The Commission adopted a five-tier structure for assessing fees 
on submarine cables systems, and a per gigabits per second (Gbps) 
assessment for terrestrial and satellite facilities based on active 
circuits. The fee assessment on submarine cables cover the costs for 
regulatory activity concerning submarine cables as well as the services 
provided over the submarine cables.
1. Using Capacity To Assess IBC Regulatory Fees
    40. We start by reaffirming that IBC regulatees with higher 
capacity receive a greater benefit from the Commission's work and 
should be assessed accordingly. The Commission has historically used 
capacity to assess IBCs. The Commission continued to assess IBC fees on 
active 64 kbps circuits until 2009 when it adopted a new fee structure 
that assesses fees on international submarine cable systems, but that 
new structure still used capacity of the cable system for determining 
the fees with smaller submarine cable systems paying a lower fee than 
larger systems. Terrestrial and satellite facilities continued to have 
IBC fees assessed on a 64 kbps circuit capacity basis until 2018 when 
the Commission began assessing the fees based on Gbps.
    41. This year the International Bureau undertook a review of its 
work, staffing, and distribution of responsibilities benefiting its fee 
payors, between the Telecommunications and Analysis Division and the 
Satellite Division and based on this review, we allocated eight FTEs to 
the international bearer circuit category. The Commission found that 
almost all of the IBC work benefits all international 
telecommunications service providers no matter what facilities those 
services are provided over--submarine cable systems, terrestrial 
facilities, or satellites. Submarine cable licensees benefit from work 
that includes among others, maintaining the licensing database, 
enforcing benchmarks, coordination with other U.S. Government agencies, 
including coordinating with other U.S. agencies' undersea activities to 
protect submarine cables, protecting U.S. customers and consumers from 
anticompetitive actions by foreign carriers, licensing international 
section 214 authorizations and submarine cables including review of 
transactions, and representing U.S. interests at bilateral and 
multilateral negotiations and at international organizations. The 
Commission's activities make it possible for submarine cable operators 
and other IBC providers to provide service to their customers. Those 
operators of facilities with larger capacity to carry more data derive 
a greater benefit from the Commission's work in this regard.
    42. Several commenters retread well-trodden ground to object to 
this assessment, but we find yet again that they have not provided a 
rationale to alter our assessment of fees within the IBC category based 
on capacity. Contrary to the Submarine Cable Coalition's argument that 
basing fees on capacity is unlawful, use of capacity is a fundamental 
premise of how the Commission assesses regulatory fees. Licensees with 
larger facilities benefit more from the Commission's work and thus 
should pay a larger proportion of the Commission's costs--just as we 
have found that licensees with more customers (like MVPD subscribers or 
commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) subscribers) or with more 
revenues (such as ITSPs) benefit more from the Commission's activities. 
CenturyLink states that to the extent that those FTEs working on issues 
that benefit IBC regulates as a whole, it is reasonable to use capacity 
to allocate the fees among the regulatees. We agree (as the Commission 
has long held) that capacity is a reasonable basis in the context of 
IBCs to assess those costs

[[Page 59870]]

among the regulatees that benefit from that work.
    43. We also once again reject assertions that only the work of two 
FTEs benefits submarine cable operators. The North American Submarine 
Cable Association (NASCA) points to a 2014 order, arguing that the 
Commission found that only two FTEs work to the benefit of submarine 
cable operators and that should be reflected in the regulatory fees. 
Although the Commission explained in 2015 that this was a misstatement, 
NASCA continues to cite this as part of its arguments. The Submarine 
Cable Coalition similarly argues that the Commission provides limited 
benefits to submarine cable operators. CenturyLink disagrees and argues 
the commenters have not provided a sound explanation why using capacity 
is unreasonable or prohibited by section 9. And indeed, we reject 
NASCA's and the Submarine Cable Coalition's arguments that submarine 
cables benefit only from a limited number of FTEs as suggested six 
years ago--we conducted an FTE reevaluation prior to setting the FY 
2020 IBC fees and the benefits attributable submarine cables are 
reflected in the proposed fees.
    44. We also reject the argument that submarine cables do not 
benefit from the Commission's IBC work because most submarine cables 
operate on a non-common carriage (or private carriage) basis. Since 
2009, the Commission has assessed regulatory fees on both common 
carrier and non-common carrier submarine cable systems, as requested by 
industry in the Consensus Plan, and because both benefit from the 
landing licenses issued by the Commission. We also note that 
terrestrial and satellite IBC fees are assessed on both common carrier 
and non-common carrier circuits. Further, while a submarine cable may 
operate on a non-common carrier basis, the traffic carried on the 
submarine cable includes common carrier traffic.
2. Division of IBC Regulatory Fees
    45. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we proposed to change the allocation of 
the IBC fees between submarine cable systems and terrestrial and 
satellite facilities. Since 2009, 87.6% of IBC fees have been allocated 
to submarine cables and 12.4% to terrestrial and satellite facilities. 
This allocation was adopted in the Submarine Cable Order (74 FR 22104 
(May 12, 2009)) and was based on the relative circuits in 2008.
    46. Based on the minimum capacity for the 2019 rate tiers for 
regulatory fees paid for submarine cables in FY 2019 (meaning a 
licensee that paid the rate for a capacity of 4000 Gbps or higher on 
the submarine cable is presumed to have a capacity of 4000 Gbps), the 
Commission calculated that the ratio between submarine cable and 
terrestrial and satellite IBCs is at least 90.8% submarine cable and no 
more than 9.8% terrestrial and satellite circuits. This calculation, 
assuming lit capacity at the minimum capacity in the tier, 
substantially undercounts actual lit capacity in these submarine cables 
therefore an upward adjustment of 5% more closely approximates actual 
lit capacity numbers. The Commission concluded that a ratio attributing 
95% to submarine cables and 5% to terrestrial and satellite circuits 
would be more reasonable than the historic ratio and sought comment on 
this reallocation.
    47. CenturyLink supports the proposal to allocate 95% of IBC fees 
to submarine cable and 5% to satellite and terrestrial IBCs. SIA argues 
that the 95%/5% allocation continues to underestimate submarine cable 
capacity and that the allocation should be closer to 98.3%/1.7%, but it 
does not provide any support for this proposed allocation. Based on the 
record, we are adopting our proposed reallocation between submarine 
cable and satellite and terrestrial IBCs, as we proposed in the FY 2020 
NPRM.
3. IBC Regulatory Fee Tiers
    48. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we also sought comment on combining the 
submarine cable and terrestrial and satellite IBC categories and 
assessing IBC fees based on a unified fee structure. Under this 
proposal, terrestrial and satellite IBC owners would pay regulatory 
fees based on the number of active international circuits using the 
rates set out in the proposed tiers. Submarine cable operators would 
continue to pay regulatory fees for each international submarine cable 
system based on the lit capacity of the cable system using the same 
tiers. Commenters generally oppose the proposal to unify the two 
categories and we decline to adopt it here, arguing that a combined 
tier structure would increase IBC fees paid by satellite operators, but 
obtain no additional benefit from this tiered structure. SES and SIA 
further contend that we should eliminate regulatory fees for satellite 
IBCs. They observe that we previously rejected tiers for terrestrial 
and satellite IBCs due to the wide range of numbers of circuits among 
carriers and that tiers could result in large increases in fees, and so 
satellite IBCs should continue to pay a fee on the basis of a Gbps 
circuit.
    49. Based on the comments, we decline to adopt the proposed unified 
tier structure at this time. Instead, we adopt the alternative proposal 
in the FY 2020 NPRM to maintain our current fee structure and will 
continue to assess regulatory fees for terrestrial and satellite IBCs 
on a per Gbps circuit basis. We will use a six tier structure for fees 
assessed to submarine cable systems, using lit capacity of the cable 
system.
    50. We reject, again, using a flat rate for submarine cables. NASCA 
contends that the industry proposal that the Commission adopted in 2009 
was meant to replace capacity-based fees with a flat fee per submarine 
cable system. The Commission has previously addressed this issue and 
rejected adopting a flat fee for submarine cables. Contrary to NASCA's 
assertion, the Commission never indicated in the Submarine Cable Order 
that it intended to move to a flat fee and indeed it specifically 
stated that over time the categories of small and large systems will 
change as systems grow in capacity. The Commission updated the tiers in 
2018 to reflect the increasing capacity of submarine cable systems and 
we do so again this year.
4. Submarine Cable IBC Regulatory Fees
    51. Since FY 2009, when the Commission established a new 
methodology for assessing submarine cable fees, the level of capacity 
for submarine cable systems has increased by leaps and bounds. The 
Commission has expanded the different tiers to accommodate for this 
rapid expansion in growth. However, the basic methodology for 
calculating submarine cable fees has not changed since FY 2009. 
Submarine cable fees are still calculated on the basis of ``1'' unit, 
``.5'' units, ``.25'' units and so forth. In the FY 2020 NPRM, the 
proposed basic unit of fees remained at ``1'' unit, and this ``1'' unit 
is at the fee level of $295,000 and at the tier threshold of 3,500-
6,500 Gbps. The tier threshold at 2,000-3,500 Gbps constituted ``.5'' 
units ($147,500), while the tier level above 6,500 Gbps ($590,000), as 
proposed, was double the ``1'' unit fee and constituted ``2'' units. 
The basic methodology for calculating submarine cable fees had not 
changed, just expanded to include a level above ``1'' unit due to 
increases in capacity.
    52. Some commenters argue that calculations underlying this year's 
regulatory fees are incorrect. CenturyLink states that the proposed 
fees have calculation errors and will result in an overcollection of 
over $11 million. NASCA contends that the wrong denominator was used in 
the calculation of submarine cable fee--the

[[Page 59871]]

number of licensed cables, 53, should be the denominator instead of the 
number of payment units. This erroneous calculation would lead to an 
overcollection of $14,128,475. And AT&T does its own calculations to 
come up with its own tier structure.
    53. Submarine cable system operators are not currently required to 
disclose the lit capacity of their submarine cable systems to the 
Commission. In the absence of such data, the Commission must rely on 
estimates based on the submarine cable system fee payor's past 
certifications that accompany their regulatory fee payments. Both NASCA 
and the Submarine Cable Coalition have filed data about the current lit 
capacity of their members' submarine cable systems to provide a factual 
basis for us to conclude a higher number of fee payors will be paying 
at the highest level. Taking the new information into account and 
applying the new top tier ratio, we adopt the following submarine cable 
systems regulatory fee tiers:

 Table 2--FY 2020 International Bearer Circuits--Submarine Cable Systems
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               FY 2020
Submarine cable systems (capacity as        Fee ratio         regulatory
        of December 31, 2019)                                    fees
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than 50 Gbps...................  .0625 Units..........      $13,450
50 Gbps or greater, but less than     .125 Units...........       26,875
 250 Gbps.
250 Gbps or greater, but less than    .25 Units............       53,750
 1,500 Gbps.
1,500 Gbps or greater, but less than  .5 Units.............      107,500
 3,500 Gbps.
3,500 Gbps or greater, but less than  1.0 Unit.............      215,000
 6,500 Gbps.
6,500 Gbps or greater...............  2.0 Units............      430,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    54. With these adjustments, the new fees for submarine cable 
systems are: $430,000 for capacities of 6,500 Gbps or greater; $215,000 
for capacities of 3,500 Gbps or greater but less than 6,500 Gbps; 
$107,500 for capacities of 1,500 Gbps or greater but less than 3,500 
Gbps; $53,750 for capacities of 250 Gbps or greater but less than 1,500 
Gbps, $26,875 for capacities of 50 Gbps or greater but less than 250 
Gbps; and $13,450 for capacities less than 50 Gbps.
    55. These changes reduce the highest tier from $590,000 to $430,000 
using a ``2'' unit fee, the ``1'' unit fee from $295,000 to $215,000, 
the ``.5'' unit fee from $147,500 to $107,500, the ``.25'' unit fee 
from $73,750 to $53,750, the ``.125'' unit fee from $36,875 to $26,875, 
and the ``.0625'' unit fee from $18,450 to $13,450.
    56. The Submarine Cable Coalition contends that the high regulatory 
fees impact the competitiveness and desirability of United States as a 
landing location, and so operators may elect to obtain licenses in 
Canada or Mexico, even if a significant portion of the traffic on the 
cable is intended for or would originate from destinations in the 
United States. While we recognize that regulatory fees are a factor for 
the industry to consider in their business plans, we cannot adjust 
regulatory fees based on fees assessed in other countries. Instead, we 
are required by section 9 of the Act to base regulatory fees on the 
FTEs in the bureaus and offices in the Commission ``adjusted to take 
into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits 
provided.''
    57. Finally, NASCA argues that the Commission should charge fees 
based on active capacity rather than lit capacity. NASCA notes that 
``active'' capacity is revenue-generating while ``lit'' capacity is 
merely electronically enabled capacity and does not equate to revenue-
generating capacity. NASCA and the Submarine Cable Coalition assert 
that failure to define and distinguish between ``active'' and ``lit'' 
capacity in the FY 2020 NPRM creates ambiguities that could lead to 
gamesmanship if regulated parties seek to lower regulatory fees owed.
    58. We clarify that submarine cables will be assessed IBC fees 
based on ``lit'' capacity. As the Commission explained in the FY 2019 
Report and Order, the submarine cable IBCs are based on the lit 
capacity of the submarine cable as of December 31 of the previous year, 
in this case December 31, 2019. The Commission uses lit capacity 
``because that is the amount of capacity that submarine cable operators 
are able to provide services over and the regulatory fee is in part 
recovering the costs related to the regulation and oversight of such 
services.'' We believe that the term ``lit capacity'' is a well-
established industry terminology and its use will less likely to create 
any ambiguity that may lead to gamesmanship.

I. Flexibility for Regulatory Payors Given the COVID-19 Pandemic

    59. In the FY 2020 NPRM, we sought comment on providing relief to 
regulatees whose businesses have suffered financial harm due to the 
pandemic. At the outset, we noted the statutory constraints the 
Commission faces in providing relief from fee payment--its obligations 
to collect $339,000,000 in FY 2020 regulatory fees and to fairly and 
proportionately allocate the burden of those fees among regulatees, and 
the Commission's inability to exempt regulatees other than those 
expressly exempt in the statute. We asked commenters to suggest relief 
measures the Commission might implement within the statutory 
limitations we described.
    60. All of the comments we received in response to our request 
support the provision of regulatory relief to regulatees financially 
harmed by the pandemic. The majority of comments were filed by or on 
behalf of broadcasters and of those, all oppose increasing FY 2020 
broadcaster regulatory fees, urging the Commission to either suspend 
the fee increases or waive altogether FY 2020 broadcaster regulatory 
fees. Commenters also suggest the Commission waive the 25% penalty for 
broadcasters that do not pay their fee by September 30, 2020 and extend 
the September 30 deadline.
    61. Several commenters suggest that the Commission relax its 
standard for waiver requests, including to permit consideration of 
waiver requests by parties that are red lighted for other debt owed to 
the Commission and to allow waiver of the portion of fees attributable 
to any month a station has been off the air. Others suggest simplifying 
the waiver filing process to be more ``easily navigable and 
inexpensive'' for small broadcasters in particular, including to permit 
a single letter filing for both waiver and deferral requests. Another 
commenter urges the Commission to modify the financial documentation it 
considers germane to demonstrate financial hardship, to account for 
current circumstances in which previously financially healthy 
broadcasters are experiencing significant financial distress owing to 
the pandemic.
    62. Several commenters support the expanded use of the Commission's

[[Page 59872]]

installment payment program for regulatees unable to pay their fees by 
the September 30 deadline, urging the Commission to offer installment 
payment terms of 6-12 months and beyond, deferred lump sum payments, 
nominal interest rates, no down payment, and simplify the documents 
required to obtain an installment payment agreement.
    63. We take several steps to address the concerns raised by 
commenters. First, we simplify our filing requirements for waiver, 
reduction, and deferral requests for FY 2020 fees to ensure that 
regulatees needing assistance are not precluded from requesting it on 
procedural grounds. Section 1.1166(a) of the Commission's rules 
requires requests for waiver, reduction, or deferral to be filed as 
separate pleadings and states that ``any such request that is not filed 
as a separate pleading will not be considered by the Commission.'' 
Given the ongoing pandemic, we temporarily waive this rule to permit 
parties seeking fee waiver and deferral for financial hardship reasons 
to make a single request for both waiver and deferral. We also 
temporarily waive Sec.  1.1166(a) of our rules to direct requests to be 
submitted electronically to the following Commission email address: 
[email protected].
    64. Second, we temporarily waive our rules to the extent necessary 
so that parties seeking extended payment terms for FY 2020 regulatory 
fees may do so by submitting an email request to the same email 
address: [email protected]. Installment payment requests may be 
combined with waiver, reduction, and deferral requests in a single 
request.
    65. Third, we exercise our discretion under section 3717(a) of the 
Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, as amended, to reduce the 
interest rate the Commission charges on installments payments to a 
nominal rate--and we exercise our discretion to forego the down payment 
normally required before granting an installment payment request.
    66. Fourth, we recognize that demonstrating financial hardship 
caused by the pandemic may require different financial documentation 
than the documentation the Commission has traditionally accepted. While 
the burden of proving financial hardship remains with the party 
requesting it, we direct the Managing Director to work with individual 
regulatees that have filed requests if additional documents are needed 
to render a decision on the request.
    67. Fifth, we waive in part our red light rule to allow debtors 
that are experiencing financial hardship to nonetheless request relief 
with respect to their regulatory fees. Under the red light rule, the 
Commission will not act on any application or request for relief if the 
requesting party has not paid a debt owed to the Commission. In light 
of the pandemic, we find that temporary waiver of the red light rule, 
at the Managing Director's discretion, to permit regulatees that are 
experiencing financial difficulties and that owe other debt to the 
Commission to request waivers, reductions, deferrals, and installment 
payment terms for FY 2020 fees is appropriate. However, those 
regulatees for whom the red light is waived will be required to resolve 
all delinquent debt by paying it in full, entering into an installment 
agreement to repay the debt, and/or if applicable, curing all payment 
and other defaults under existing installment agreements.
    68. We direct the Managing Director to release one or more public 
notices describing in more detail the enhanced relief we will provide 
to regulatees whose businesses have been affected by the pandemic, with 
filing and other instructions as needed.
    69. Finally, we address the suggestions that would contravene the 
statute or our precedent. We cannot waive FY 2020 fees or the 25% late 
payment penalty for any group of broadcasters because doing so would 
effectively exempt the group, when the statute does not permit such an 
exemption, but instead requires a case-by-case determination in order 
to waive a fee or penalty. Similarly, we cannot reduce broadcaster fees 
except on a case-by-case basis. And we cannot suspend the FY 2020 fee 
increases solely because advertising revenues have dropped. We cannot 
extend the September 30 deadline, as September 30 marks the end of our 
fiscal year and we are required to collect FY 2020 fees by fiscal year 
end.
    70. We also cannot relax the standard we employ for fee waiver, 
reduction, or deferral based on financial hardship grounds. Section 9A 
of the Act permits the Commission to waive a regulatory fee, penalty or 
interest for good cause if the waiver is in the public interest. Where 
financial hardship is the asserted basis for a waiver, the Commission 
has consistently interpreted that to require a showing that the 
requesting party ``lacks sufficient funds to pay the regulatory fees 
and to maintain its service to the public.'' We believe the existing 
waiver standard together with the measures described above will work as 
designed, to provide fee relief to those regulatees most in need. 
Regulatees whose businesses have been hurt by the pandemic, but not to 
the extent required to receive a waiver, reduction, or deferral, will 
be eligible to pay their FY 2020 fees in installments if they show that 
they cannot pay the fee in lump sum, but can do so with extended 
payment terms.

III. Procedural Matters

    71. 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 
payors and the public about these aspects of the annual regulatory fee 
collection process.
    72. 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, 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 
2019 regulatory fee collection in Fact Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
    73. Payment Methods. Pursuant to an Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) directive, the Commission is moving towards a paperless 
environment, extending to disbursement and collection of select Federal 
Government payments and receipts. In 2015, the Commission stopped 
accepting checks (including cashier's checks and money orders) and the 
accompanying hardcopy forms (e.g., Forms 159, 159-B, 159-E, 159-W) for 
the payment of regulatory fees. During the fee season for collecting 
regulatory fees, regulatees can pay their fees by credit card through 
Pay.gov, ACH, debit card, or by wire transfer. Additional payment 
instructions are posted on the Commission's website at https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/regfees.html. The receiving bank for all wire 
payments is the U.S. Treasury, New York, NY (TREAS NYC). Any other form 
of

[[Page 59873]]

payment (e.g., checks, cashier's checks, or money orders) will be 
rejected. For payments by wire, a 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 Federal Communications 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 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 https://transition.fcc.gov/fees/wiretran.html.
    74. 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:
     Media Services: Regulatory fees must be paid for initial 
construction permits that were granted on or before October 1, 2019 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, 2019.
     Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must 
be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 
2019. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned 
after October 1, 2019, 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, 2019.
     Wireless Services: 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, 2019. The number of subscribers, units, 
or telephone numbers on December 31, 2019 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, 2019, 
responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or 
license as of the fee due date.
     Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: The first eight 
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 2020.
     Multichannel Video Programming Distributor 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, 2019. Regulatory fees 
also must be paid for CARS licenses that were granted on or before 
October 1, 2019. In instances where a permit or license is transferred 
or assigned after October 1, 2019, 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, 2019. In 
instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after 
October 1, 2019, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of 
the permit or license as of the fee due date.
     International Services (Earth Stations, Space Stations 
(GSO and NGSO): Regulatory fees must be paid for (1) earth stations and 
(2) geostationary orbit space stations and non-geostationary orbit 
satellite systems that were U.S licensed, or non-U.S. licensed but 
granted U.S. market access, and operational on or before October 1, 
2019. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned 
after October 1, 2019, responsibility for payment rests with the holder 
of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
    [cir] For FY 2020 only, non-U.S. licensed GSO and NGSO satellites 
that have been granted market access to the U.S. through a Petition for 
Declaratory Ruling (PDR) or through an earth station had until July 15, 
2020 to relinquish their market access status to avoid having to pay FY 
2020 regulatory fees in September 2020. If non-U.S. licensed GSO and 
NGSO satellites, either through a PDR or an earth station, still have 
market access after July 15, 2020, regulatory fees will be assessed, 
and payment will be required by the due date of FY 2020 regulatory 
fees.
     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, 2019. Regulatory fees for 
terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or 
leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2019 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 terrestrial and satellite 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, 2019. 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, 2019, responsibility for payment rests 
with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
    75. Commercial Mobile Radio Service (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''). 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).
    76. 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

[[Page 59874]]

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.
    77. 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, 2019), 
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.
    78. Enforcement. Regulatory fee payments must be paid by their due 
date. Section 9A(c)(1) of the Act requires the Commission to impose a 
late payment penalty of 25% of unpaid regulatory fee debt, to be 
assessed on the first day following the deadline for payment of the 
fees. Section 9A(c)(2) of the Act requires the Commission to assess 
interest at the rate set forth in 31 U.S.C. 3717 on all unpaid 
regulatory fees, including the 25% penalty, until the debt is paid in 
full. The RAY BAUM'S Act, however, prohibits the Commission from 
assessing the administrative costs of collecting delinquent regulatory 
fee debt. Thus, while section 9A(c) of the Act leaves intact those 
parts of Sec.  1.1940 of the Commission's rules pertaining to penalty 
and interest charges, the Commission will no longer assess 
administrative costs on delinquent regulatory fee debts.
    79. The Commission will pursue collection of all past due 
regulatory fees, including penalties and accrued interest, using 
collection remedies available to it under the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996, its implementing regulations and federal 
common law. These remedies include offsetting regulatory fee debt 
against monies owed to the debtor by the Commission, and referral of 
the debt to the United States Treasury for further collection efforts, 
including centralized offset against monies other federal agencies may 
owe the debtor.
    80. Failure to timely pay regulatory fees, penalties or accrued 
interest will also subject regulatees to the Commission's ``red light'' 
rule, which generally requires the Commission to withhold action on and 
subsequently dismiss applications and other requests for benefits by 
any entity owing debt, including regulatory fee debt, to the 
Commission.
    81. In addition to financial penalties, section 9(c)(3) of the Act, 
and Sec.  1.1164(f) of the Commission's rules grant the Commission the 
authority to revoke authorizations for failure to pay regulatory fees 
in a timely fashion. Should a fee delinquency not be rectified in a 
timely manner the Commission may require the licensee to file with 
documented evidence within sixty (60) calendar days that full payment 
of all outstanding regulatory fees has been made, plus any associated 
penalties as calculated by the Secretary of Treasury in accordance with 
Sec.  1.1164(a) of the Commission's rules, or show cause why the 
payment is inapplicable or should be waived or deferred. Failure to 
provide such evidence of payment or to show cause within the time 
specified may result in revocation of the station license.
    82. Effective Date. Providing a 30-day period after Federal 
Register publication before this Report and Order becomes effective as 
normally required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) will not allow sufficient time to 
collect the FY 2020 fees before FY 2020 ends on September 30, 2020. For 
this reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), we find there is good 
cause to waive the requirements of section 553(d), and this Report and 
Order will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. 
Because payments of the regulatory fees will not actually be due until 
late September, persons affected by this Report and Order will still 
have a reasonable period in which to make their payments and thereby 
comply with the rules established herein.
    83. Paperwork Reduction Act 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).
    84. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. As required by the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) the Commission has prepared a 
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) relating to this Report 
and Order. The FRFA is contained in the back of this rulemaking.

Notes on Table 3
\1\ The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ``Rounded New FY 2020 Regulatory Fee'' constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class
  of service. The actual FY 2020 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 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 and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 69 FR 72020 (Dec. 10, 2004) and 69 FR 72048 (Dec. 10, 2004), 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, 73
  FR 50201 (Aug. 26, 2008) and 73 FR 50285 (Aug. 26, 2008), 24 FCC Rcd 6388 (2008) and Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year
  2008, Second Report and Order, 74 FR 22104 (May 12, 2009), 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 digital television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Table 8.

    Regulatory fees for the categories shaded in gray are collected by 
the Commission in advance to cover the term of the license and are 
submitted at the time the application is filed.

Table 5--Sources of Payment Unit Estimates for FY 2020

    In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2020, we 
adjusted FY 2020 payment units for each service to more accurately 
reflect expected FY 2020 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, when 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 2020 estimates with actual FY 2019 
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

[[Page 59877]]

with sufficient accuracy. These include an unknown number of waivers 
and/or exemptions that may occur in FY 2020 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 2020 payment 
units are based on FY 2019 actual payment units, it does not 
necessarily mean that our FY 2020 projection is exactly the same number 
as in FY 2019. We have either rounded the FY 2019 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 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.

V. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    85. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as 
amended (RFA), an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was 
included in the FY 2020 NPRM. The Commission sought written public 
comment on these proposals including comment on the IRFA. This Final 
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) conforms to the IRFA.

A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Report and Order

    86. In this Report and Order we adopt our proposal in the FY 2020 
NPRM on collecting $339,000,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2020, 
pursuant to section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended 
(Communications Act or Act). These regulatory fees will be due in 
September 2020. Under section 9 of the Communications Act, regulatory 
fees are mandated by Congress and collected to recover the regulatory 
costs associated with the Commission's enforcement, policy and 
rulemaking, user information, and international activities in an amount 
that can be reasonably expected to equal the amount of the Commission's 
annual appropriation. This Report and Order adopts the regulatory fees 
proposed in the FY 2020 NPRM, with some minor changes.

B. Summary of the Significant Issues Raised by the Public Comments in 
Response to the IRFA

    87. None.

C. Response to Comments by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 
Business Administration

    88. No comments were filed by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration.

D. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which 
the Rules Will Apply

    89. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of, and where 
feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be 
affected by the proposed rules and policies, if adopted. The RFA 
generally defines the term ``small entity'' as having the same meaning 
as the terms ``small business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small 
governmental jurisdiction.'' In addition, the term ``small business'' 
has the same meaning as the term ``small business concern'' under the 
Small Business Act. A ``small business concern'' is one which: (1) Is 
independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of 
operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the 
Small Business Administration (SBA). Nationwide, there are a total of 
approximately 27.9 million small businesses, according to the SBA.
    90. Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The U.S. Census Bureau 
defines this industry as ``establishments primarily engaged in 
operating and/or providing access to transmission facilities and 
infrastructure that they own and/or lease for the transmission of 
voice, data, text, sound, and video using wired communications 
networks. Transmission facilities may be based on a single technology 
or a combination of technologies. Establishments in this industry use 
the wired telecommunications network facilities that they operate to 
provide a variety of services, such as wired telephony services, 
including VoIP services, wired (cable) audio and video programming 
distribution, and wired broadband internet services. By exception, 
establishments providing satellite television distribution services 
using facilities and infrastructure that they operate are included in 
this industry.'' The SBA has developed a small business size standard 
for Wired Telecommunications Carriers, which consists of all such 
companies having 1,500 or fewer employees. Census data for 2012 shows 
that there were 3,117 firms that operated that year. Of this total, 
3,083 operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this size 
standard, most firms in this industry can be considered small.
    91. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Neither the Commission nor the 
SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically 
applicable to local exchange services. The closest applicable NAICS 
code category is Wired Telecommunications Carriers as defined in 
paragraph 6 of this FRFA. Under the applicable SBA size standard, such 
a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. According to 
Commission data, census data for 2012 shows that there were 3,117 firms 
that operated that year. Of this total, 3,083 operated with fewer than 
1,000 employees. The Commission therefore estimates that most providers 
of local exchange carrier service are small entities that may be 
affected by the rules adopted.
    92. Incumbent LECs. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a small business size standard specifically for incumbent 
local exchange services. The closest applicable NAICS code category is 
Wired Telecommunications Carriers as defined in paragraph 6 of this 
FRFA. Under that size standard, such a business is small if it has 
1,500 or fewer employees. According to Commission data, 3,117 firms 
operated in that year. Of this total, 3,083 operated with fewer than 
1,000 employees. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most 
providers of incumbent local exchange service are small businesses that 
may be affected by the rules and policies adopted. Three hundred and 
seven (307) Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers reported that they were 
incumbent local exchange service providers. Of this total, an estimated 
1,006 have 1,500 or fewer employees.
    93. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (Competitive LECs), 
Competitive Access Providers (CAPs), Shared-Tenant Service Providers, 
and Other Local Service Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA 
has developed a small business size standard specifically for these 
service providers. The appropriate NAICS code category is Wired 
Telecommunications Carriers, as defined in paragraph 6 of this FRFA. 
Under that size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or 
fewer employees. U.S. Census data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 firms 
operated during that year. Of that number, 3,083 operated with fewer 
than 1,000 employees. Based on this data, the Commission concludes that 
most Competitive LECS, CAPs, Shared-Tenant Service Providers, and Other

[[Page 59908]]

Local Service Providers, are small entities. According to Commission 
data, 1,442 carriers reported that they were engaged in the provision 
of either competitive local exchange services or competitive access 
provider services. Of these 1,442 carriers, an estimated 1,256 have 
1,500 or fewer employees. In addition, 17 carriers have reported that 
they are Shared-Tenant Service Providers, and all 17 are estimated to 
have 1,500 or fewer employees. Also, 72 carriers have reported that 
they are Other Local Service Providers. Of this total, 70 have 1,500 or 
fewer employees. Consequently, based on internally researched FCC data, 
the Commission estimates that most providers of competitive local 
exchange service, competitive access providers, Shared-Tenant Service 
Providers, and Other Local Service Providers are small entities.
    94. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs). Neither the Commission nor the 
SBA has developed a definition for Interexchange Carriers. The closest 
NAICS code category is Wired Telecommunications Carriers as defined in 
paragraph 6 of this FRFA. The applicable size standard under SBA rules 
is that such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 
U.S. Census data for 2012 indicates that 3,117 firms operated during 
that year. Of that number, 3,083 operated with fewer than 1,000 
employees. According to internally developed Commission data, 359 
companies reported that their primary telecommunications service 
activity was the provision of interexchange services. Of this total, an 
estimated 317 have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, the 
Commission estimates that most interexchange service providers are 
small entities that may be affected by the rules adopted.
    95. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. Neither the Commission nor the 
SBA has developed a small business definition specifically for prepaid 
calling card providers. The most appropriate NAICS code-based category 
for defining prepaid calling card providers is Telecommunications 
Resellers. This industry comprises establishments engaged in purchasing 
access and network capacity from owners and operators of 
telecommunications networks and reselling wired and wireless 
telecommunications services (except satellite) to businesses and 
households. Establishments in this industry resell telecommunications; 
they do not operate transmission facilities and infrastructure. Mobile 
virtual networks operators (MVNOs) are included in this industry. Under 
the applicable SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census data for 2012 show that 1,341 
firms provided resale services during that year. Of that number, 1,341 
operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this category and 
the associated small business size standard, the majority of these 
prepaid calling card providers can be considered small entities. 
According to Commission data, 193 carriers have reported that they are 
engaged in the provision of prepaid calling cards. All 193 carriers 
have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, the Commission estimates 
that the majority of prepaid calling card providers are small entities 
that may be affected by the rules adopted.
    96. Local Resellers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a small business size standard specifically for Local 
Resellers. The SBA has developed a small business size standard for the 
category of Telecommunications Resellers. Under that size standard, 
such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. Census 
data for 2012 show that 1,341 firms provided resale services during 
that year. Of that number, 1,341 operated with fewer than 1,000 
employees. Under this category and the associated small business size 
standard, the majority of these local resellers can be considered small 
entities. According to Commission data, 213 carriers have reported that 
they are engaged in the provision of local resale services. Of this 
total, an estimated 211 have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, 
the Commission estimates that the majority of local resellers are small 
entities that may be affected by the rules adopted.
    97. Toll Resellers. The Commission has not developed a definition 
for Toll Resellers. The closest NAICS code Category is 
Telecommunications Resellers, and the SBA has developed a small 
business size standard for the category of Telecommunications 
Resellers. Under that size standard, such a business is small if it has 
1,500 or fewer employees. Census data for 2012 show that 1,341 firms 
provided resale services during that year. Of that number, 1,341 
operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this category and 
the associated small business size standard, the majority of these 
resellers can be considered small entities. According to Commission 
data, 881 carriers have reported that they are engaged in the provision 
of toll resale services. Of this total, an estimated 857 have 1,500 or 
fewer employees. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the 
majority of toll resellers are small entities.
    98. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a definition for small businesses specifically applicable to 
Other Toll Carriers. This category includes toll carriers that do not 
fall within the categories of interexchange carriers, operator service 
providers, prepaid calling card providers, satellite service carriers, 
or toll resellers. The closest applicable NAICS code category is for 
Wired Telecommunications Carriers as defined in paragraph 6 of this 
FRFA. Under the applicable SBA size standard, such a business is small 
if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. Census data for 2012 shows that 
there were 3,117 firms that operated that year. Of this total, 3,083 
operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this category and 
the associated small business size standard, most Other Toll Carriers 
can be considered small. According to internally developed Commission 
data, 284 companies reported that their primary telecommunications 
service activity was the provision of other toll carriage. Of these, an 
estimated 279 have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, the 
Commission estimates that most Other Toll Carriers are small entities.
    99. Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite). This 
industry comprises establishments engaged in operating and maintaining 
switching and transmission facilities to provide communications via the 
airwaves. Establishments in this industry have spectrum licenses and 
provide services using that spectrum, such as cellular services, paging 
services, wireless internet access, and wireless video services. The 
appropriate size standard under SBA rules is that such a business is 
small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. For this industry, Census 
data for 2012 show that there were 967 firms that operated for the 
entire year. Of this total, 955 firms had fewer than 1,000 employees. 
Thus, under this category and the associated size standard, the 
Commission estimates that the majority of wireless telecommunications 
carriers (except satellite) are small entities. Similarly, according to 
internally developed Commission data, 413 carriers reported that they 
were engaged in the provision of wireless telephony, including cellular 
service, Personal Communications Service (PCS), and Specialized Mobile 
Radio (SMR) services. Of this total, an estimated 261 have 1,500 or 
fewer employees. Thus, using available data, we estimate that the 
majority of wireless firms can be considered small.

[[Page 59909]]

    100. Television Broadcasting. This Economic Census category 
``comprises establishments primarily engaged in broadcasting images 
together with sound. These establishments operate television 
broadcasting studios and facilities for the programming and 
transmission of programs to the public.'' These establishments also 
produce or transmit visual programming to affiliated broadcast 
television stations, which in turn broadcast the programs to the public 
on a predetermined schedule. Programming may originate in their own 
studio, from an affiliated network, or from external sources. The SBA 
has created the following small business size standard for Television 
Broadcasting firms: Those having $41.5 million or less in annual 
receipts. The 2012 Economic Census reports that 751 television 
broadcasting firms operated during that year. Of that number, 656 had 
annual receipts of less than $25 million per year. Based on that Census 
data we conclude that most firms that operate television stations are 
small. The Commission has estimated the number of licensed commercial 
television stations to be 1,387. In addition, according to Commission 
staff review of the BIA Advisory Services, LLC's Media Access Pro 
Television Database, on March 28, 2012, about 950 of an estimated 1,300 
commercial television stations (or approximately 73%) had revenues of 
$14 million or less. We therefore estimate that the majority of 
commercial television broadcasters are small entities.
    101. In assessing whether a business concern qualifies as small 
under the above definition, business (control) affiliations must be 
included. Our estimate, therefore, likely overstates the number of 
small entities that might be affected by our action, because the 
revenue figure on which it is based does not include or aggregate 
revenues from affiliated companies. In addition, an element of the 
definition of ``small business'' is that the entity not be dominant in 
its field of operation. We are unable at this time to define or 
quantify the criteria that would establish whether a specific 
television station is dominant in its field of operation. Accordingly, 
the estimate of small businesses to which rules may apply does not 
exclude any television station from the definition of a small business 
on this basis and is therefore possibly over-inclusive to that extent.
    102. In addition, the Commission has estimated the number of 
licensed noncommercial educational television stations to be 396. These 
stations are non-profit, and therefore considered to be small entities. 
There are also 2,528 low power television stations, including Class A 
stations (LPTV). Given the nature of these services, we will presume 
that all LPTV licensees qualify as small entities under the above SBA 
small business size standard.
    103. Radio Broadcasting. This Economic Census category ``comprises 
establishments primarily engaged in broadcasting aural programs by 
radio to the public. Programming may originate in their own studio, 
from an affiliated network, or from external sources.'' The SBA has 
established a small business size standard for this category, which is: 
Such firms having $41.5 million or less in annual receipts. Census data 
for 2012 show that 2,849 radio station firms operated during that year. 
Of that number, 2,806 operated with annual receipts of less than $25 
million per year. According to Commission staff review of BIA Advisory 
Services, LLC's Media Access Pro Radio Database, on March 28, 2012, 
about 10,759 (97%) of 11,102 commercial radio stations had revenues of 
$38.5 million or less. Therefore, most such entities are small 
entities.
    104. In assessing whether a business concern qualifies as small 
under the above size standard, business affiliations must be included. 
In addition, to be determined to be a ``small business,'' the entity 
may not be dominant in its field of operation. We note that it is 
difficult at times to assess these criteria in the context of media 
entities, and our estimate of small businesses may therefore be over-
inclusive.
    105. Cable Television and Other Subscription Programming. This 
industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating 
studios and facilities for the broadcasting of programs on a 
subscription or fee basis. The broadcast programming is typically 
narrowcast in nature (e.g., limited format, such as news, sports, 
education, or youth-oriented). These establishments produce programming 
in their own facilities or acquire programming from external sources. 
The programming material is usually delivered to a third party, such as 
cable systems or direct-to-home satellite systems, for transmission to 
viewers. The SBA has established a size standard for this industry of 
$41.5 million or less. Census data for 2012 shows that there were 367 
firms that operated that year. Of this total, 319 operated with annual 
receipts of less than $25 million. Thus under this size standard, most 
firms offering cable and other program distribution services can be 
considered small and may be affected by rules adopted.
    106. Cable Companies and Systems. The Commission has developed its 
own small business size standards for the purpose of cable rate 
regulation. Under the Commission's rules, a ``small cable company'' is 
one serving 400,000 or fewer subscribers nationwide. The Commission's 
industry data indicate that there are currently 4,160 active cable 
systems in the United States. Of this total, all but ten cable 
operators nationwide are small under the 400,000-subscriber size 
standard. In addition, under the Commission's rate regulation rules, a 
``small system'' is a cable system serving 15,000 or fewer subscribers. 
Current Commission records show 4,160 cable systems nationwide. Thus, 
under this standard as well, we estimate that most cable systems are 
small entities.
    107. Cable System Operators (Telecom Act Standard). The 
Communications Act also contains a size standard for small cable system 
operators, which is ``a cable operator that, directly or through an 
affiliate, serves in the aggregate fewer than 1% of all subscribers in 
the United States and is not affiliated with any entity or entities 
whose gross annual revenues in the aggregate exceed $250,000,000.'' 
There are approximately 53 million cable video subscribers in the 
United States today. Accordingly, an operator serving fewer than 
524,037 subscribers shall be deemed a small operator if its annual 
revenues, when combined with the total annual revenues of all its 
affiliates, do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Based on 
available data, we find that all but nine incumbent cable operators are 
small entities under this size standard. We note that the Commission 
neither requests nor collects information on whether cable system 
operators are affiliated with entities whose gross annual revenues 
exceed $250 million. Although it seems certain that some of these cable 
system operators are affiliated with entities whose gross annual 
revenues exceed $250 million, we are unable at this time to estimate 
with greater precision the number of cable system operators that would 
qualify as small cable operators under the definition in the 
Communications Act.
    108. Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service. DBS Service is a 
nationally distributed subscription service that delivers video and 
audio programming via satellite to a small parabolic dish antenna at 
the subscriber's location. DBS is now included in SBA's economic census 
category ``Wired Telecommunications Carriers.'' The Wired 
Telecommunications Carriers industry comprises establishments primarily 
engaged in operating and/or

[[Page 59910]]

providing access to transmission facilities and infrastructure that 
they own and/or lease for the transmission of voice, data, text, sound, 
and video using wired telecommunications networks. Transmission 
facilities may be based on a single technology or combination of 
technologies. Establishments in this industry use the wired 
telecommunications network facilities that they operate to provide a 
variety of services, such as wired telephony services, including VoIP 
services, wired (cable) audio and video programming distribution; and 
wired broadband internet services. By exception, establishments 
providing satellite television distribution services using facilities 
and infrastructure that they operate are included in this industry. The 
SBA determines that a wireline business is small if it has fewer than 
1500 employees. Census data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 wireline 
companies were operational during that year. Of that number, 3,083 
operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Based on that data, we 
conclude that most wireline firms are small under the applicable 
standard. However, currently only two entities provide DBS service, 
AT&T and DISH Network. AT&T and DISH Network each report annual 
revenues that are in excess of the threshold for a small business. 
Accordingly, we conclude that DBS service is provided only by large 
firms.
    109. All Other Telecommunications. ``All Other Telecommunications'' 
is defined as follows: This U.S. industry is comprised of 
establishments that are primarily engaged in providing specialized 
telecommunications services, such as satellite tracking, communications 
telemetry, and radar station operation. This industry also includes 
establishments primarily engaged in providing satellite terminal 
stations and associated facilities connected with one or more 
terrestrial systems and capable of transmitting telecommunications to, 
and receiving telecommunications from, satellite systems. 
Establishments providing internet services or voice over internet 
protocol (VoIP) services via client-supplied telecommunications 
connections are also included in this industry. The SBA has developed a 
small business size standard for ``All Other Telecommunications,'' 
which consists of all such firms with gross annual receipts of $35 
million or less. For this category, census data for 2012 show that 
there were 1,442 firms that operated for the entire year. Of these 
firms, a total of 1,400 had gross annual receipts of less than $25 
million. Thus, most ``All Other Telecommunications'' firms potentially 
affected by the rules adopted can be considered small.
    110. RespOrgs. RespOrgs, i.e., Responsible Organizations, are 
entities chosen by toll-free subscribers to manage and administer the 
appropriate records in the toll-free Service Management System for the 
toll-free subscriber. Although RespOrgs are often wireline carriers, 
they can also include non-carrier entities. Therefore, in the 
definition herein of RespOrgs, two categories are presented, i.e., 
Carrier RespOrgs and Non-Carrier RespOrgs.
    111. Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission, the U.S. Census, nor 
the SBA have developed a definition for Carrier RespOrgs. Accordingly, 
the Commission believes that the closest NAICS code-based definitional 
categories for Carrier RespOrgs are Wired Telecommunications Carriers 
and Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except satellite).
    112. The U.S. Census Bureau defines Wired Telecommunications 
Carriers as establishments primarily engaged in operating and/or 
providing access to transmission facilities and infrastructure that 
they own and/or lease for the transmission of voice, data, text, sound, 
and video using wired communications networks. Transmission facilities 
may be based on a single technology or a combination of technologies. 
Establishments in this industry use the wired telecommunications 
network facilities that they operate to provide a variety of services, 
such as wired telephony services, including VoIP services, wired 
(cable) audio and video programming distribution, and wired broadband 
internet services. By exception, establishments providing satellite 
television distribution services using facilities and infrastructure 
that they operate are included in this industry. The SBA has developed 
a small business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers, 
which consists of all such companies having 1,500 or fewer employees. 
Census data for 2012 show that there were 3,117 Wired 
Telecommunications Carrier firms that operated for that entire year. Of 
that number, 3,083 operated with less than 1,000 employees. Based on 
that data, we conclude that most Carrier RespOrgs that operated with 
wireline-based technology are small.
    113. The U.S. Census Bureau defines Wireless Telecommunications 
Carriers (except satellite) as establishments engaged in operating and 
maintaining switching and transmission facilities to provide 
communications via the airwaves, such as cellular services, paging 
services, wireless internet access, and wireless video services. The 
appropriate size standard under SBA rules is that such a business is 
small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. Census data for 2012 show 
that 967 Wireless Telecommunications Carriers operated in that year. Of 
that number, 955 operated with less than 1,000 employees. Based on that 
data, we conclude that most Carrier RespOrgs that operated with 
wireless-based technology are small.
    114. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission, the Census, nor 
the SBA have developed a definition of Non-Carrier RespOrgs. 
Accordingly, the Commission believes that the closest NAICS code-based 
definitional categories for Non-Carrier RespOrgs are ``Other Services 
Related To Advertising'' and ``Other Management Consulting Services.''
    115. The U.S. Census defines Other Services Related to Advertising 
as comprising establishments primarily engaged in providing advertising 
services (except advertising agency services, public relations agency 
services, media buying agency services, media representative services, 
display advertising services, direct mail advertising services, 
advertising material distribution services, and marketing consulting 
services. The SBA has established a size standard for this industry as 
annual receipts of $15 million dollars or less. Census data for 2012 
show that 5,804 firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of 
that number, 5,249 operated with annual receipts of less than $10 
million. Based on that data we conclude that most Non-Carrier RespOrgs 
who provide TFN-related advertising services are small.
    116. The U.S. Census defines Other Management Consulting Services 
as establishments primarily engaged in providing management consulting 
services (except administrative and general management consulting; 
human resources consulting; marketing consulting; or process, physical 
distribution, and logistics consulting). Establishments providing 
telecommunications or utilities management consulting services are 
included in this industry. The SBA has established a size standard for 
this industry of $15 million dollars or less. Census data for 2012 show 
that 3,683 firms operated in this industry for that entire year. Of 
that number, 3,632 operated with less than $10 million in annual 
receipts. Based on this data, we conclude that most non-carrier 
RespOrgs who provide TFN-related management consulting services are 
small.

[[Page 59911]]

    117. In addition to the data contained in the four (see above) U.S. 
Census NAICS code categories that provide definitions of what services 
and functions the Carrier and Non-Carrier RespOrgs provide, Somos, the 
trade association that monitors RespOrg activities, compiled data 
showing that as of July 1, 2016, there were 23 RespOrgs operational in 
Canada and 436 RespOrgs operational in the United States, for a total 
of 459 RespOrgs currently registered with Somos.

E. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other 
Compliance Requirements

    118. This Report and Order does not adopt any new reporting, 
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements.

F. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small 
Entities and Significant Alternatives Considered

    119. The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant 
alternatives that it has considered in reaching its approach, which may 
include the following four alternatives, among others: (1) The 
establishment of differing compliance or reporting requirements or 
timetables that take into account the resources available to small 
entities; (2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of 
compliance or reporting requirements under the rule for small entities; 
(3) the use of performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an 
exemption from coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, for small 
entities.
    120. This Report and Order adopts the proposals in the Notice to 
collect $339,000,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2020, as detailed in the 
fee schedules in Table 5, including the following: (i) An increase in 
the DBS fee rate to 72 cents per subscriber, per year, based on the 
Media Bureau FTEs devoted to issues that include DBS. The two DBS 
providers, AT&T and DISH are not small entities. (ii) The 
implementation of the new methodology for calculating the full power 
broadcast television regulatory fees based on the actual population, 
which the Commission initially adopted in FY 2018 and was transitioning 
in over two years. Basing the fee on actual population should offer 
relief to smaller broadcasters, which may include small entities. (iii) 
An exemption from regulatory fees for non-U.S. licensed space stations 
that are listed as a point of communication on earth stations onboard 
vessels (ESV) licenses if the ESV license clearly limits U.S. licensed 
ESV terminals' access to these non-U.S. licensed space stations to 
situations in which these terminals are in foreign territories and/or 
international waters and the license does not otherwise allow the non-
U.S. licensed space station access to the U.S. market. This exemption 
could benefit non-U.S. licensed space stations that are small entities. 
(iv) The revision of the allocation of IBC fees between submarine cable 
and terrestrial and satellite IBCs from 87.6%-12.4% to 95%-5%. Any 
terrestrial or satellite operator with IBCs will benefit. (v) The 
Report and Order notes that the Media Bureau has granted waivers to 
allow VHF stations that demonstrate signal disruptions to exceed the 
maximum power level specified for channels 2-6 in Sec.  73.622(f)(6) 
and for channels 7-13 in Sec.  73.622(f)(7) and, accordingly, will 
assess the regulatory fees for those VHF stations that are licensed 
with a power level that exceeds the maximum based on the maximum power 
level specified for channels 2-6 in Sec.  73.622(f)(6) and for channels 
7-13 in Sec.  73.622(f)(7). To the extent that VHF stations in these 
circumstances are small entities, this could provide regulatory fee 
relief. (vi) The adopts two targeted measures to provide relief to 
Puerto Rico broadcasters. First, we account for the objectively 
measurable reduction in population by reducing the population counts 
used in TVStudy by 16.9%, which reflects the decline between the last 
census in 2010 and the current population estimate. Second, we limit 
the market served by a primary television stations and commonly owned 
satellite broadcast stations in Puerto Rico to no more than 3.10 
million people, the latest population estimate. Thus, the fee for 
television broadcasters and commonly owned satellites, using the 
proposed population fee of $.007837, would not exceed $24,300. (vii) 
The Order adopts streamlined processes for fee payors that have 
experienced financial hardship as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic to 
seek relief and will provide for lowered interest charges on 
installment payment plans. This could benefit small businesses that 
experienced financial hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
    121. In keeping with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, we have considered certain alternative means of mitigating the 
effects of fee increases to a particular industry segment. For example, 
the de minimis threshold is $1,000, which will impact many small 
entities that pay regulatory fees. This de minimis threshold will 
relieve regulatees both financially and administratively. Regulatees 
may also seek waivers or other relief on the basis of financial 
hardship. See 47 CFR 1.1166.

VI. Ordering Clauses

    122. Accordingly, it is ordered that, pursuant to section 9(a), 
(b), (e), (f), and (g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
47 U.S.C. 159(a), (b), (e), (f), and (g), this Report and Order is 
hereby adopted.
    123. It is further ordered that the Report and Order shall be 
effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
    124. It is further ordered that the FY 2020 section 9 regulatory 
fees assessment requirements and the rules set forth in the Final Rules 
are adopted as specified herein.
    125. It is further ordered that the Commission's Consumer and 
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a 
copy of this Report and Order, including the Final Regulatory 
Flexibility Analysis in this rulemaking, to Congress and the Government 
Accountability Office pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
