one copy are sufficient.

I. Procedural Matters

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

I. Introduction

    1. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, we seek comment on the 
Commission's proposed regulatory fees for fiscal year (FY) 2021. 
Specifically, we propose to collect $374,000,000 in regulatory fees for 
FY 2021, pursuant to sections 9 and 9A of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended (Act or Communications Act), and the Commission's FY 
2021 Appropriation.
    2. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, we seek comment on 
several specific regulatory fee issues: (i) Including non-geographic 
numbers in the calculation of the number of subscribers for each 
commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider; (ii) ending our phase 
in of direct broadcast satellite (DBS) regulatory fees, and instead 
including the Media Bureau-based DBS regulatory fee in the same fee 
category as cable television and Internet

[[Page 26263]]

Protocol Television (IPTV); (iii) assessing regulatory fees for full 
service broadcast television using the same population-based 
methodology that we used for FY 2020 and continuing the changes we 
adopted previously for stations in Puerto Rico; (iv) adopting new 
regulatory fees for the new NGSO fee subcategories for ``less complex'' 
NGSO systems and ``other'' NGSO systems; and (v) extending our 
streamlined waiver provisions adopted last year for FY 2021.
    3. Each year the Commission issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
to seek comment on its regulatory fee methodology and proposed 
regulatory fees for the fiscal year. The Commission also seeks to 
improve the regulatory fee methodology. Since 2013, the Commission has 
made numerous reforms to the regulatory fee schedule. In 2019, the 
Commission adopted several rule amendments to conform them to the RAY 
BAUM'S Act of 2018. Last year, the Commission added non-U.S. licensed 
space stations with United States market access grants to the 
regulatory fee schedule. The Commission concluded that assessing the 
same regulatory fees on all space stations with U.S. market access, 
whether U.S. licensed or non-U.S. licensed, would better reflect the 
benefits received by these operators through the Commission's 
adjudicatory, enforcement, regulatory, and international coordination 
activities, and would promote regulatory parity and fairness among 
space station operating in the United States.

II. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Methodology for Allocating FTEs

    4. Congress requires us to collect $374,000,000 in regulatory fees 
for FY 2021. In doing so, section 9 of the Act requires us to set 
regulatory fees to ``reflect the full-time equivalent number of 
employees within the bureaus and offices of the Commission adjusted to 
take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits 
provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.'' We 
implement this directive by looking first to the core bureaus, i.e., 
the bureaus that conduct work that directly benefits fee payors, in 
order to establish the number of direct FTEs from each bureau. The 
remaining non-auction FTEs and other Commission costs are categorized 
as indirect. Once we have identified the direct FTEs for each core 
bureau, we look within each core bureau to allocate fees to specific 
fee categories. These proportional calculations allocate all Commission 
non-auction related costs across all fee categories. We seek comment on 
this methodology.
    5. The Commission identifies the number of FTEs within each of the 
four core bureaus (i.e., Wireline Competition Bureau, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, International Bureau, and Media Bureau) and 
then further subdivides within each core bureau to account for its 
regulatory fee categories. As a general matter, we expect that the work 
of the FTEs in the four core bureaus will remain focused on the 
industry segment regulated by each of those bureaus. Consistent with 
past practices, we propose that the allocation of fee categories for FY 
2021 will be based on the Commission's calculation of FTEs in each 
regulatory fee category. The work of the FTEs in the indirect bureaus 
and offices benefits the Commission and the telecommunications industry 
generally and is not specifically focused on the regulatees and 
licensees of one core bureau. We propose that, consistent with past 
practices, the total FTEs for each fee category include the direct FTEs 
associated with that category plus a proportional allocation of 
indirect FTEs. Applying the section 9 requirements to calculate 
regulatory fees, we propose to allocate the total collection target 
across all regulatory fee categories. Each regulatee within a fee 
category then pays its proportionate share based on an objective 
measure (e.g., revenues or number of subscribers). To calculate fees 
for each licensee, we identify ``units'' used to calculate the fees. 
For example, broadcast licensee fees will vary by population served and 
wireless licensees will pay fees based on their number of subscribers. 
These calculations are illustrated in Table 2. The sources for the unit 
estimates that are used in these calculations are listed in Table 4.
    6. We project approximately $32.0 million (8.56% of the total FTE 
allocation, 28 direct FTEs) in fees from International Bureau 
regulatees; $83.5 million (22.33% of the total FTE allocation, 73 
direct FTEs) in fees from Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
regulatees; $122.4 million (32.72% of the total FTE allocation, 107 
direct FTEs) from Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and $136.1 
million (36.39% of the total FTE allocation, 119 direct FTEs) from 
Media Bureau regulatees. We seek comment on our calculation for the FY 
2021 FTEs (327 total direct FTEs). The proposed fees are based on the 
established methodology, applied to the allocated FTEs and based on the 
Commission's appropriation amount of $374,000,000. We seek comment on 
this methodology and on the schedule of FY 2021 regulatory fees as set 
forth in Tables 2 and 3.

B. Calculating Regulatory Fees for Commercial Mobile Radio Services

    7. The Commission sets regulatory fees by identifying a unit for a 
fee category, calculating the amount to be collected from that 
category, and then dividing the target collection amount by the unit 
count. The regulatory fee unit for the Commercial Mobile Radio Services 
(CMRS) fee category is the number of subscribers. Historically, each 
CMRS provider self-reported its subscriber count for regulatory fee 
purposes. In 2004, the Commission started using the ``assigned number'' 
count as the proxy for subscribers to address concerns regarding the 
accuracy of prior estimates.
    8. The definition of assigned numbers is as follows: Assigned 
numbers are numbers working in the Public Switched Telephone Network 
under an agreement such as a contract or tariff at the request of 
specific end users or customers for their use, or numbers not yet 
working but having a customer service order pending. Numbers that are 
not yet working and have a service order pending for more than five 
days shall not be classified as assigned numbers.
    9. The Commission currently provides each CMRS provider with its 
estimated subscriber counts based on information included in the 
Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) Report. The NRUF Report 
is based upon data provided by telecommunications carriers holding 
numbering resources, which include CMRS providers. CMRS providers are 
responsible for certifying the accuracy of their subscriber counts and 
can adjust the counts to correct any inaccuracies.
    10. Non-geographic numbers are not associated with any particular 
geographic area, as typical numbers are, such as numbers in the 202 
area code. They are also included in NRUF data and fall within the 
definition of assigned numbers. Historically, non-geographic numbers 
were commonly used for ``follow me'' services, which allowed a consumer 
to receive a call at different locations, and were not used for 
independent subscribers. The Commission, therefore, has not previously 
included these numbers in the CMRS subscriber count estimates.
    11. More recently, usage of non-geographic numbers has increased 
substantially. Non-geographic numbers are often used for machine-to-
machine calling, such as wireless alarm monitoring and car emergency 
services subscriptions, and counting non-

[[Page 26264]]

geographic numbers for regulatory fee purposes would no longer be 
duplicative of the geographic number. CMRS service providers have the 
information necessary to determine if their non-geographic numbers 
should be counted for calculating their number of subscribers for 
regulatory fee purposes. Accordingly, we propose to include non-
geographic numbers in the calculation of the number of subscribers for 
each CMRS provider, as reflected in Table 2 and the CMRS regulatory fee 
factor, as reflected in Table 3. Under this proposal, CMRS provider 
regulatory fees will be calculated and should be paid based on the 
inclusion of non-geographic numbers. CMRS providers could then adjust 
the total number of subscribers, if needed. We note that including non-
geographic numbers, if appropriate, will not change the total amount to 
be collected from this industry, but will likely reduce the per 
subscriber fee because the number of units will increase. We seek 
comment on this analysis.
    12. In addition, we seek comment on whether there are any other 
changes in the CMRS industry that we should consider in calculating 
regulatory fees. For example, are there subscriber devices accessing 
wireless carrier 4G and 5G networks for IP-only use cases not requiring 
traditional phone numbers (e.g., industrial sensors, remote health 
monitoring devices, etc.) and if so, what identifiers govern their 
access (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identity, or IMSI) and 
who is in the best position to identify how many are in use by each 
licensee? Other categories of CMRS subscriber numbers, if added to the 
CMRS calculation, would not increase the total amount collected from 
the industry, but may reduce the amount per subscriber by increasing 
the number of units.

C. Direct Broadcast Satellite Regulatory Fees

    13. Direct Broadcast Satellite (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. The two DBS providers, AT&T and DISH Network, 
are MVPDs. The Media Bureau oversees the regulation of MVPDs, i.e., 
regulated companies that make available for purchase, by subscribers or 
customers, multiple channels of video programming. The Media Bureau 
relies on a common pool of FTEs to carry out its oversight of MVPDs and 
other video distribution providers. These responsibilities include 
market modifications, local-into-local, must-carry and retransmission 
consent disputes, program carriage and program access complaints, over-
the-air reception device declaratory rulings and waivers, rulemakings, 
and proposed transactions. For Media Bureau activities in FY 2021, the 
Commission must collect $74.84 million in regulatory fees from MVPDs, 
i.e., cable TV systems (including CARS licenses), IPTV providers, and 
DBS operators.
    14. We propose to end the phase in of the DBS regulatory fee and 
assess all DBS, cable television, and IPTV providers at the same per 
subscriber regulatory fee, i.e., the fee category would equally include 
cable television, IPTV, and DBS. The Commission has been phasing in the 
DBS operator regulatory fee for 6 years. In FY 2015, the Commission 
decided to phase in the new Media Bureau-based regulatory fee for DBS, 
starting at 12 cents per subscriber per year, as a subcategory in the 
cable television and IPTV category. At the same time, the Commission 
committed to updating the regulatory fee rate in future years. The DBS 
regulatory fee is based on the significant number of Media Bureau FTEs 
that work on MVPD issues that include DBS, ``not a particular number of 
FTEs focused solely on DBS'' or ``specific recent proceedings.'' The 
Commission has increased the DBS regulatory fee by 12 cents per 
subscriber per year in each subsequent year and in FY 2020 the DBS fee 
was 72 cents. We propose to end the phase in and assess the same 
regulatory fee, i.e., $0.96, per subscriber, per year, for DBS, cable 
television, and IPTV. We seek comment on this proposal.

D. Television Broadcaster Issues

    15. Last year the Commission completed the transition to a 
population-based full-power broadcast television regulatory fee. We 
seek comment again on the use of population-based fees for full-power 
broadcast television stations based on the station's contour. We 
propose adopting a factor of .8525 of one cent ($.008525) per 
population served for FY 2021 full-power broadcast television station 
fees. The population data for broadcasters' service areas are extracted 
from the TVStudy database, based on a station's projected noise-limited 
service contour. The population data for each licensee and the 
population-based fee (population multiplied by $.008525) for each full-
power broadcast television station, including each satellite station, 
is listed in Table 7. We seek comment on these proposed fees.
    16. We also seek comment on streamlining our current methodology, 
for FY 2022, by refining the current television broadcaster table, in 
Table 7, to a tiered table, similar to the tiered table used for radio 
licensees. The current process required to implement a per call sign 
fee calculation imposes a significant administrative cost on the 
Commission and a portion of fee payors. Specifically, the Commission 
must generate and publish the 50 plus page table of all call signs and 
their respective fees in the Federal Register each year to ensure a fee 
for every call sign is established. Publication is necessary, 
regardless of whether a particular call sign is exempt, as a station's 
status may change over the course of a year. This has caused confusion 
to some fee payors. Further, discrepancies last year led to several 
hundred inquiries by fee payors. Using a tiered system would simplify 
the process for fee payors and the Commission while still assessing 
fees based on each broadcasters' population served. We seek comment on 
whether the administrative benefits for the Commission and fee payors 
of using a tiered table to establish television broadcaster regulatory 
fees would outweigh the costs and be easier for fee payors to navigate. 
Commenters should discuss whether such a table would be more 
administrable than the current population-based chart establishing 
individual fee amounts for each station. A model streamlined table 
based on the proposed FY 2021 television broadcaster fees is set forth 
below in Table 1.

    17. Stations in Puerto Rico. Previously, a group of broadcasters in 
Puerto Rico argued that the population-based methodology overstates the 
population served by Puerto Rico stations because the mountainous 
terrain conditions result in TVStudy overstating the population served. 
They also argued that significant and measurable drops in Puerto Rico's 
population resulting from an exodus caused in part by Hurricane Maria 
overstated that the population counts

[[Page 26265]]

underlying TVStudy. For those reasons, the Commission sought comment 
last year on adjusting the fees of such broadcasters in two discrete 
ways and adopted such proposals in the FY 2020 Report and Order, 36 FCC 
Rcd 1731. We seek comment on continuing those adjustments for FY 2021. 
We propose to account for the objectively measurable reduction in 
population by reducing the population counts used in TVStudy by 16.9%, 
or the decline between the last census in 2010 and the current 
population estimate, as we did for FY 2020. Additionally, in FY 2020 
the Commission adopted a proposal 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. We seek comment on adopting these proposals again 
for FY 2021.

E. NGSO Regulatory Fees

    18. The Commission has adopted two new fee subcategories, one for 
``less complex'' NGSO systems and a second for all other NGSO systems 
identified as ``other'' NGSO systems, both under the broader category 
of ``Space Stations (Non-Geostationary Orbit).'' We have analyzed the 
time International Bureau FTEs devote to oversight and regulation of 
the less complex systems listed in Appendix E and we seek comment on 
the percentage of regulatory fees that should be allocated to each 
subcategory of NGSO systems. We propose an 20/80 allocation within the 
category of NGSO fees, with ``less complex'' NGSO systems responsible 
for 20% of NGSO regulatory fees and '' the remaining NGSO systems 
(``Other'') responsible for 80% of NGSO regulatory fees. Based on our 
current experience and considering our costs reasonably related to 
regulating and overseeing all NGSO systems, we think that a 20/80 
percent split between less complex systems and other NGSO systems would 
be appropriate. The proposed 80 percent of total NGSO fees 
apportionment to other NGSO systems category is based on the fact that 
a small minority of Commission efforts appear to involve NGSO systems 
that meet our definition of a less complex NGSO system.
    19. We recognize the considerable challenge of assigning a precise 
number to the apportionment of regulatory fees between less complex and 
other categories of NGSO space stations, given that all of these 
systems are NGSO systems and continue to benefit from our various 
activities, including rulemakings, enforcement, applications, and 
international activities, to some extent. For example, a number of 
systems with limited U.S. earth stations providing EESS have been 
granted waivers of the processing round procedures. Although there is 
no cost associated with a processing round, these waivers provide 
continuous benefits to these less complex systems. Based on our NGSO 
experience and judgement, we believe an approximate apportionment of 
FTEs' time working on oversight for each category of operators may be 
the most practical way to estimate the relative percentages of the 
benefits driven by our activities. Accordingly, we propose that a 20/80 
split would be a reasonable apportionment to distribute our regulatory 
cost reasonably related to the benefits these fee payors are receiving. 
We seek comment on these conclusions. Accordingly, we propose 
regulatory fees of $105,525 per Space Station (Non-Geostationary 
Orbit)--Less Complex and $337,725 per Space Station (Non-Geostationary 
Orbit)--Other, as reflected in Table 6.

F. Continued Flexibility in FY 2021 for Regulatory Payors Seeking 
Waivers Due to Financial Hardship Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic

    20. We seek comment on whether we should extend to the FY 2021 
regulatory fee season the temporary measures the Commission adopted in 
FY 2020 with respect to FY 2020 regulatory fees to provide relief to 
regulatees whose businesses have suffered financial harm due to the 
pandemic. The FY 2020 Report and Order, 36 FCC Rcd 1731, included 
several mechanisms to provide such relief, such as: Waiver of section 
1.1166(a) of the Commission's rules to permit parties seeking 
regulatory fee waiver and deferral for financial hardship reasons to 
make a single request for both waiver and deferral; waiver of the same 
rule to permit requests to be submitted electronically to the 
Commission, rather than in paper form; waivers to allow parties seeking 
extended payment terms to do so by submitting an email request, and 
allowing a combined installment payment request with any waiver, 
reduction, and deferral requests in a single filing.
    21. In addition to those rule waivers, the Commission exercised its 
discretion to reduce the interest rate typically charged on 
installments payments to a nominal rate--and it also waived the down 
payment normally required before granting an installment payment 
request. The Commission also partially waived the requirement that 
parties seeking relief on financial hardship grounds submit with their 
requests all financial documentation needed to prove financial 
hardship. This allowed regulatees experiencing pandemic related 
financial hardship to submit additional financial documentation post-
filing if necessary to determine whether relief should be granted. The 
Commission directed the Managing Director to work with individual 
regulatees that filed requests if additional documents were needed to 
render a decision on the request.
    22. Finally, the Commission allowed debtors barred from filing 
requests or applications by the red-light rule who are experiencing 
financial hardship due to the pandemic to nonetheless request relief 
with respect to their regulatory fees. The Commission authorized the 
Managing Director to partially waive the red light to permit 
consideration of those requests while requiring those parties to 
resolve all delinquent debt to the Commission's satisfaction in the 
process.
    23. We seek comment on extending these temporary measures for FY 
2021 regulatory fees due to the continuing pandemic. We remind 
commenters that we cannot relax the standard for granting a waiver or 
deferral of fees, penalties, or other charges for late payment of 
regulatory fees under section 9A of the Act. Under that statute, the 
Commission may only waive a regulatory fee, penalty or interest if it 
finds there is good cause for the waiver and that the waiver is in the 
public interest. The Commission has only granted financial hardship 
waivers when the requesting party has shown it ``lacks sufficient funds 
to pay the regulatory fees and to maintain its service to the public.'' 
Other statutory limitations include that the Commission must act on 
waiver requests individually, and cannot extend the deadline we set for 
payment of fees beyond September 30.

G. Additional Regulatory Fee Reform

    24. We seek comment on additional regulatory fee reform and ways to 
further improve our regulatory fee process to make it less burdensome 
for all entities. We seek comment on whether there are licensees who 
are not listed as a fee category in our current regulatory fee schedule 
and should be included. We also seek comment on whether our fee setting 
methodologies could be improved or updated to ensure that our 
regulatory fees are more equitable or otherwise streamlined to make the 
fee schedule simpler. As part of this analysis, we seek comment on the 
costs and benefits of reforming our fee-setting process.

III. Procedural Matters

    25. Included below are procedural items as well as our current 
payment and collection methods. We include these payments and 
collection procedures here as a useful way of reminding regulatory fee 
payers and the public about these aspects of the annual regulatory fee 
collection process.
    26. 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 
2021 regulatory fee collection in Fact Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
    27. 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 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 (including bank closing schedules) with 
their bankers several days before they plan to make the wire transfer 
to allow sufficient time for the transfer to be initiated and completed 
before the deadline. Complete instructions for making wire payments are 
posted at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer.
    28. De Minimis Regulatory Fees, Section 9(e)(2) Exemption. Under 
the de minimis rule, and pursuant to our analysis under section 9(e)(2) 
of the Act, a regulatee is exempt from paying regulatory fees if the 
sum total of all of its annual regulatory fee liabilities is $1,000 or 
less for the fiscal year. The de minimis threshold applies only to 
filers of annual regulatory fees, not regulatory fees paid through 
multi-year filings, and it is not a permanent exemption. Each regulatee 
will need to reevaluate the total annual fee liability each fiscal year 
to determine whether they meet the de minimis exemption.
    29. 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, 2020 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, 2020.
     Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must 
be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 
2020. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned 
after October 1, 2020, 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 section 
52.103 of the Commission's rules. The unit count should be based on 
toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2020.
     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, 2020. The number of subscribers, units, 
or telephone numbers on December 31, 2020 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, 2020, 
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 seven 
regulatory fee categories in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees pay 
``small multi-year wireless regulatory fees.'' Entities pay these 
regulatory fees in advance for the entire amount period covered by the 
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 2021.
     Multichannel Video Programming Distributor Services (cable 
television operators, CARS licensees, DBS, and IPTV): Regulatory fees 
must be paid for the number of basic cable television subscribers as of 
December 31, 2020. Regulatory fees also must be paid for CARS licenses 
that were granted on or before October 1, 2020. In instances where a 
permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2020, 
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, 2020. In instances where a permit or license 
is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2020, responsibility for 
payment rests with the holder of the permit or license as of the fee 
due date.
     International Services: Regulatory fees must be paid for 
(1) earth stations and (2) geostationary orbit space stations and non-
geostationary orbit satellite systems that were licensed and 
operational on or before October 1, 2020. In instances where a permit 
or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2020, 
responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or 
license as of the fee due date.
    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, 2020. Regulatory fees for terrestrial and 
satellite IBCs are to be paid based on

[[Page 26267]]

active (used or leased) international bearer circuits as of December 
31, 2020 in any terrestrial or satellite transmission facility for the 
provision of service to an end user or resale carrier. When calculating 
the number of such active circuits, entities must include circuits used 
by themselves or their affiliates. For these purposes, ``active 
circuits'' include backup and redundant circuits as of December 31, 
2020. 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, 2020, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of 
the permit or license as of the fee due date.
    30. 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''). We have 
included non-geographic numbers in the calculation of the number of 
subscribers for each CMRS provider in Table 2 and the CMRS regulatory 
fee factor proposed in Table 3. CMRS provider regulatory fees will be 
calculated and should be paid based on the inclusion of non-geographic 
numbers. CMRS providers can adjust the total number of subscribers, if 
needed. This information of telephone numbers (subscriber count) will 
be posted on the Commission's electronic filing and payment system (Fee 
Filer).
    31. A carrier wishing to revise its telephone number (subscriber) 
count can do so by accessing Fee Filer and follow the prompts to revise 
their telephone number counts. Any revisions to the telephone number 
counts should be accompanied by an explanation or supporting 
documentation. The Commission will then review the revised count and 
supporting documentation and either approve or disapprove the 
submission in Fee Filer. If the submission is disapproved, the 
Commission will contact the provider to afford the provider an 
opportunity to discuss its revised subscriber count and/or provide 
additional supporting documentation. If we receive no response from the 
provider, or we do not reverse our initial disapproval of the 
provider's revised count submission, the fee payment must be based on 
the number of subscribers listed initially in Fee Filer. Once the 
timeframe for revision has passed, the telephone number counts are 
final and are the basis upon which CMRS regulatory fees are to be paid. 
Providers can view their final telephone counts online in Fee Filer. A 
final CMRS assessment letter will not be mailed out.
    32. 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, 2020), 
and submit their fee payment accordingly. Whether a carrier reviews its 
telephone number counts in Fee Filer or not, the Commission reserves 
the right to audit the number of telephone numbers for which regulatory 
fees are paid. In the event that the Commission determines that the 
number of telephone numbers that are paid is inaccurate, the Commission 
will bill the carrier for the difference between what was paid and what 
should have been paid.

Notes on Table 2
\1\ The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ``Rounded New FY 2021 Regulatory Fee'' constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class
  of service. The actual FY 2021 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 3.
\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, 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6 (2004).
\4\ The chart at the end of Table 3 lists the submarine cable bearer circuit regulatory fees (common and non-common carrier basis) that resulted from
  the adoption of the Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 24
  FCC Rcd 6388 (2008) and Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Second Report and Order, 24 FCC Rcd 4208 (2009). The
  Submarine Cable fee in Table 2 is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Table 3.
\5\ The actual digital television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Table 7.

Table 4--Sources of Payment Unit Estimates for FY 2021

    In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2021, we 
adjusted FY 2020 payment units for each service to more accurately 
reflect expected FY 2021 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 2021 estimates with actual FY 2020 
payment units to ensure that our revised estimates were reasonable. 
Where appropriate, we adjusted and/or rounded our final estimates to 
take into consideration the fact that certain variables that impact on 
the number of payment units cannot yet be estimated with sufficient 
accuracy. These include an unknown number of waivers and/or exemptions 
that may occur in FY 2021 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 2021 payment units are based on FY 2020 
actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2021 
projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2020. We have either 
rounded the FY 2020 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these 
variables.

Table 5--Factors, Measurements, and Calculations That Determine Station 
Signal Contours and Associated Population Coverages

AM Stations

    For stations with nondirectional daytime antennas, the theoretical 
radiation was used at all azimuths. For stations with directional 
daytime antennas, specific information on each day tower, including 
field ratio, phase, spacing, and orientation was retrieved, as well as 
the theoretical pattern root-mean-square of the radiation in all 
directions in the horizontal plane (RMS) figure (milliVolt per meter 
(mV/m) @1 km) for the antenna system. The standard, or augmented 
standard if pertinent, horizontal plane radiation pattern was 
calculated using techniques and methods specified in sections 73.150 
and 73.152 of the Commission's rules. Radiation values were calculated 
for each of 360 radials around the transmitter site. Next, estimated 
soil conductivity data was retrieved from a database representing the 
information in FCC Figure R3. Using the calculated horizontal radiation 
values, and the retrieved soil conductivity data, the distance to the 
principal community (5 mV/m) contour was predicted for each of the 360 
radials. The resulting distance to principal community contours were 
used to form a geographical polygon. Population counting was 
accomplished by determining which 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. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    1. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as 
amended (RFA), the Commission prepared this Initial Regulatory 
Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) of the possible significant economic impact 
on small entities by the policies and rules proposed in the Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (Notice). Written comments are requested on this 
IRFA. Comments must be identified as responses to the IRFA and must be 
filed by the deadline for comments on this Notice. The Commission will 
send a copy of the Notice, including the IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for 
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration (SBA). In addition, the 
Notice and IRFA (or summaries thereof) will be published in the Federal 
Register.

A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Proposed Rules

    2. The Notice seeks comment on regulatory fees for fiscal year (FY) 
2021, as required by section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended (Communications Act or Act). The Notice sets forth the proposed 
regulatory fees for FY 2021 for regulatees in the Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, Media Bureau, Wireline Competition Bureau, 
and International Bureau. The proposed regulatory fees are attached to 
the Notice in Tables 2 and 3.
    3. This regulatory fee Notice is needed because the Commission is 
required by Congress to adopt regulatory fees each year ``to recover 
the costs of carrying out the activities described in section 6(a) only 
to the extent, and in the total amounts, provided for in Appropriation 
Acts.'' The objective of the Notice is to propose regulatory fees for 
FY 2021. The Notice seeks comment on the Commission's proposed 
regulatory fees for FY 2021.
    4. The Notice proposes to collect $374,000,000 in regulatory fees 
for FY 2021, as detailed in the proposed fee schedules in Tables 2 and 
3. In addition, the Notice seeks comment on a proposed increase in the 
DBS fee rate; proposed fees for full-power broadcast televisions using 
the actual population covered by the station's contour, as the 
Commission adopted last year; and a fee for a new regulatory fee 
category for ``less complex'' non-geostationary space stations. All 
proposed fees are listed in Tables 2 and 3 of the Notice.
    5. The Notice seeks comment on whether to continue for FY 2021 
regulatory fees the temporary relief measures adopted in FY 2020 for 
requesting waiver, reduction, deferral, and installment payment of FY 
2020 regulatory fees. Specifically, the Notice seeks comment on whether 
we should extend to the FY 2021 regulatory fee season the temporary 
measures the Commission adopted in FY 2020 to provide relief to 
regulatees whose businesses have suffered financial harm due to the 
pandemic, i.e., waiver of section 1.1166(a) of the Commission's rules 
to permit parties seeking regulatory fee waiver and deferral for 
financial hardship reasons to make a single request for both waiver and 
deferral; waiver of the same rule to permit requests to be submitted 
electronically to the Commission, rather than in paper form; waivers to 
allow parties seeking extended payment terms to do so by submitting an 
email request, and allowing a combined installment payment request with 
any waiver, reduction, and deferral requests in a single filing.

B. Legal Basis

    6. This action, including publication of proposed rules, is 
authorized under sections (4)(i) and (j), 159, and 303(r) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

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

    7. 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 
SBA.
    8. Small Businesses, Small Organizations, Small Governmental 
Jurisdictions. Our actions, over time,

[[Page 26300]]

may affect small entities that are not easily categorized at present. 
We therefore describe here, at the outset, three broad groups of small 
entities that could be directly affected herein. First, while there are 
industry specific size standards for small businesses that are used in 
the regulatory flexibility analysis, according to data from the SBA's 
Office of Advocacy, in general a small business is an independent 
business having fewer than 500 employees. These types of small 
businesses represent 99.9% of all businesses in the United States which 
translates to 28.8 million businesses.
    9. Next, the type of small entity described as a ``small 
organization'' is generally ``any not-for-profit enterprise which is 
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.'' 
Nationwide, as of August 2016, there were approximately 356,494 small 
organizations based on registration and tax data filed by nonprofits 
with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
    10. Finally, the small entity described as a ``small governmental 
jurisdiction'' is defined generally as ``governments of cities, 
counties, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special 
districts, with a population of less than fifty thousand.'' U.S. Census 
Bureau data from the 2012 Census of Governments indicate that there 
were 90,056 local governmental jurisdictions consisting of general 
purpose governments and special purpose governments in the United 
States. Of this number there were 37,132 General purpose governments 
(county, municipal and town or township) with populations of less than 
50,000 and 12,184 Special purpose governments (independent school 
districts and special districts) with populations of less than 50,000. 
The 2012 U.S. Census Bureau data for most types of governments in the 
local government category show that the majority of these governments 
have populations of less than 50,000. Based on this data we estimate 
that at least 49,316 local government jurisdictions fall in the 
category of ``small governmental jurisdictions.'' Governmental entities 
are, however, exempt from application fees.
    11. 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 and IPTV) 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. U.S. Census Bureau 
data for 2012 show 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, the majority of firms in this industry can be 
considered small.
    12. 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. Under the 
applicable SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 
or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2012 show that there 
were 3,117 firms that operated for the entire year. Of that total, 
3,083 operated with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus under this 
category and the associated size standard, the Commission estimates 
that the majority of local exchange carriers are small entities.
    13. 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. Under the applicable SBA size 
standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 
U.S. Census Bureau data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 firms operated the 
entire 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 our actions. According to Commission data, one thousand 
three hundred and seven (1,307) 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. Thus, 
using the SBA's size standard the majority of incumbent LECs can be 
considered small entities.
    14. 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 and under that size standard, such a 
business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census 
Bureau 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 these data, the Commission concludes that the majority of 
Competitive LECS, CAPs, Shared-Tenant Service Providers, and Other 
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.
    15. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs). Neither the Commission nor the 
SBA has developed a small business size standard specifically for 
Interexchange Carriers. The closest applicable NAICS Code category is 
Wired Telecommunications Carriers. 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 Bureau data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 firms 
operated for the entire 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 the majority of interexchange service 
providers are small entities.

[[Page 26301]]

    16. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. Neither the Commission nor the 
SBA has developed a small business size standard specifically for 
prepaid calling card providers. The appropriate NAICS code category for 
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 network operators (MVNOs) 
are included in this industry. 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. U.S. Census Bureau 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, 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.
    17. Local Resellers. The SBA has not developed a small business 
size standard specifically for Local Resellers. The SBA category of 
Telecommunications Resellers is the closest NAICs code category for 
local resellers. The Telecommunications Resellers 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 network operators (MVNOs) are included 
in this industry. Under the SBA's size standard, such a business is 
small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data from 
2012 show that 1,341 firms provided resale services during that year. 
Of that number, all 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, 213 carriers have reported that they are 
engaged in the provision of local resale services. Of these, an 
estimated 211 have 1,500 or fewer employees and two have more than 
1,500 employees. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the 
majority of local resellers are small entities.
    18. Toll Resellers. The Commission has not developed a definition 
for Toll Resellers. The closest NAICS Code Category is 
Telecommunications Resellers. The Telecommunications Resellers 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. MVNOs are included in this industry. 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. 2012 Census Bureau data 
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.
    19. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a size standard 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 IRFA. Under that size standard, such a business is small if it has 
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2012 show 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, the majority of firms in this industry can be considered 
small. According to 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.
    20. 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, U.S. 
Census Bureau data for 2012 show that there were 967 firms that 
operated for the entire year. Of this total, 955 firms had employment 
of 999 or fewer employees and 12 had employment of 1,000 employees or 
more. Thus under this category and the associated size standard, the 
Commission estimates that the majority of wireless telecommunications 
carriers (except satellite) are small entities.
    21. Television Broadcasting. This Economic Census category 
``comprises establishments primarily engaged in broadcasting images 
together with sound.'' These establishments operate television 
broadcast 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 such businesses: 
Those having $41.5 million or less in annual receipts. The 2012 
Economic Census reports that 751 firms in this category operated in 
that year. Of that number, 656 had annual receipts of $25,000,000 or 
less. Based on this data we therefore estimate that the majority of 
commercial television broadcasters are small entities under the 
applicable SBA size standard.
    22. The Commission has estimated the number of licensed commercial 
television stations to be 1,377. Of this

[[Page 26302]]

total, 1,258 stations (or about 91 percent) had revenues of $41.5 
million or less, according to Commission staff review of the BIA Kelsey 
Inc. Media Access Pro Television Database (BIA) on November 16, 2017, 
and therefore these licensees qualify as small entities under the SBA 
definition. In addition, the Commission has estimated the number of 
licensed noncommercial educational television stations to be 384. 
Notwithstanding, the Commission does not compile and otherwise does not 
have access to information on the revenue of NCE stations that would 
permit it to determine how many such stations would qualify as small 
entities. There are also 2,300 low power television stations, including 
Class A stations (LPTV) and 3,681 TV translator stations. Given the 
nature of these services, we will presume that all of these entities 
qualify as small entities under the above SBA small business size 
standard.
    23. We note, however, that 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, 
another element of the definition of ``small business'' requires that 
an 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 broadcast 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. Also, as noted above, an additional element of the 
definition of ``small business'' is that the entity must be 
independently owned and operated. The Commission notes that it is 
difficult at times to assess these criteria in the context of media 
entities and its estimates of small businesses to which they apply may 
be over-inclusive to this extent.
    24. Radio Stations. 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 as firms 
having $41.5 million or less in annual receipts. Economic Census data 
for 2012 show that 2,849 radio station firms operated during that year. 
Of that number, 2,806 firms operated with annual receipts of less than 
$25 million per year, 17 with annual receipts between $25 million and 
$49,999,999 million and 26 with annual receipts of $50 million or more. 
Therefore, based on the SBA's size standard the majority of such 
entities are small entities.
    25. According to Commission staff review of the BIA/Kelsey, LLC's 
Media Access Pro Radio Database as of January 2018, about 11,261 (or 
about 99.9 percent) of 11,383 commercial radio stations had revenues of 
$41.5 million or less and thus qualify as small entities under the SBA 
definition. The Commission has estimated the number of licensed 
commercial AM radio stations to be 4,633 stations and the number of 
commercial FM radio stations to be 6,738, for a total number of 11,371. 
We note the Commission has also estimated the number of licensed 
noncommercial (NCE) FM radio stations to be 4,128. Nevertheless, the 
Commission does not compile and otherwise does not have access to 
information on the revenue of NCE stations that would permit it to 
determine how many such stations would qualify as small entities. We 
also note, that in assessing whether a business entity qualifies as 
small under the above definition, business control affiliations must be 
included. The Commission's estimate therefore likely overstates the 
number of small entities that might be affected by its action, because 
the revenue figure on which it is based does not include or aggregate 
revenues from affiliated companies. In addition, to be determined a 
``small business,'' an entity may not be dominant in its field of 
operation. We further note, that it is difficult at times to assess 
these criteria in the context of media entities, and the estimate of 
small businesses to which these rules may apply does not exclude any 
radio station from the definition of a small business on these basis, 
thus our estimate of small businesses may therefore be over-inclusive. 
Also, as noted above, an additional element of the definition of 
``small business'' is that the entity must be independently owned and 
operated. The Commission notes that it is difficult at times to assess 
these criteria in the context of media entities and the estimates of 
small businesses to which they apply may be over-inclusive to this 
extent.
    26. Cable Companies and Systems (Rate Regulation). The Commission 
has also 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. Industry data indicate that there are 4,600 active cable 
systems in the United States. Of this total, all but five 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. 
Commission records show 4,600 cable systems nationwide. Of this total, 
3,900 cable systems have fewer than 15,000 subscribers, and 700 systems 
have 15,000 or more subscribers, based on the same records. Thus, under 
this standard as well, we estimate that most cable systems are small 
entities.
    27. Cable System Operators (Telecom Act Standard). The 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 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 
one percent 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.'' As of 2019, there were 
approximately 48,646,056 basic cable video subscribers in the United 
States. Accordingly, an operator serving fewer than 486,460 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 five 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. Therefore, 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.
    28. 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 included in SBA's economic census 
category ``Wired Telecommunications Carriers.'' The Wired 
Telecommunications Carriers industry comprises 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

[[Page 26303]]

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 1,500 employees. U.S. 
Census Bureau data for 2012 indicates 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 the 
majority of wireline firms are small under the applicable SBA standard. 
Currently, however, only two entities provide DBS service, which 
requires a great deal of capital for operation: DIRECTV (owned by AT&T) 
and DISH Network. DIRECTV and DISH Network each report annual revenues 
that are in excess of the threshold for a small business. Accordingly, 
we must conclude that internally developed FCC data are persuasive 
that, in general, DBS service is provided only by large firms.
    29. All Other Telecommunications. The ``All Other 
Telecommunications'' category is comprised of establishments 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 annual 
receipts of $35 million or less. For this category, U.S. Census Bureau 
data for 2012 shows that there were 1,442 firms that operated for the 
entire year. Of those firms, a total of 1,400 had annual receipts less 
than $25 million and 15 firms had annual receipts of $25 million to 
$49, 999,999. Thus, the Commission estimates that the majority of ``All 
Other Telecommunications'' firms potentially affected by our action can 
be considered small.
    30. RespOrgs. Responsible Organizations, or RespOrgs, 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.
    31. 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).
    32. 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. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2012 show that there were 3,117 
firms that operated that year. Of this total, 3,083 operated with fewer 
than 1,000 employees. Based on that data, we conclude that the majority 
of Carrier RespOrgs that operated with wireline-based technology are 
small.
    33. 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 the majority of Carrier RespOrgs that operated 
with wireless-based technology are small.
    34. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission, the U.S. 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.''
    35. 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 $16.5 million dollars or less. Census data for 2012 
show that 5,804 firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of 
that number, 5,612 operated with annual receipts of less than $10 
million. Based on that data we conclude that the majority of Non-
Carrier RespOrgs who provide toll-free number (TFN)-related advertising 
services are small.
    36. 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 $16.5 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 a majority of non-
carrier RespOrgs who provide TFN-related

[[Page 26304]]

management consulting services are small.
    37. 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.

D. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other 
Compliance Requirements for Small Entities

    38. This Notice does not propose any changes to the Commission's 
current information collection, reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance 
requirements. Licensees, including small entities, will be required to 
pay application fees after such fees are adopted.

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

    39. 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.
    40. The Notice seeks comment on the Commission's proposed 
regulatory fees for FY 2021. The Notice proposes to collect 
$374,000,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2021, as detailed in the 
proposed fee schedules in Tables 2 and 3 of the Notice. The Commission 
has taken steps to minimize the economic impact on small entities by 
adopting a de minimis threshold under the section 9(e)(2) exemption in 
the Act. Under the section 9(e)(2) exemption, a regulatee is exempt 
from paying regulatory fees if the sum total of all of its annual 
regulatory fee liabilities is $1,000 or less for the fiscal year. The 
threshold applies only to filers of annual regulatory fees, not 
regulatory fees paid through multi-year filings. The Commission also 
adopted a new regulatory fee category for ``less complex'' NGSO 
satellite systems, so that these smaller systems would have a lower 
regulatory fee than the other NGSO systems.

F. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the 
Proposed Rules

    41. None.

VI. Ordering Clauses

    42. Accordingly, it is ordered that, pursuant to the authority 
found in sections 4(i) and (j), 9, 9A, and 303(r) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 159, 159A, and 
303(r), this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is hereby adopted.

Federal Communications Commission.
