SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Released: July 24, 1996
1. The Managing Director has determined the dates for collection of
the fees adopted in the fiscal year 1996 regulatory fee proceeding. See
Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 1996, FCC-
295 (released July 5, 1996), 61 FR 36629 (July 12, 1996). We are
establishing collection dates as indicated below.
2. Annual regulatory fees for Geosynchronous Space Station
licensees, Intelsat and Inmarsat Signatories, and Low Earth Orbit
[[Page 40156]]
Satellite System Licensees are due on September 30, 1996.
3. Annual regulatory fees for regulatees in the cable television,
common carrier, international (except the three categories listed in
paragraph 2 above), mass media, and commercial wireless services are
due during the period beginning September 12, 1996, and ending
September 20, 1996. Parties paying these fees electronically are
requested to submit them on September 12th or September 13th.
4. Applicants for new, renewal and reinstatement licenses in the
private wireless services which pay annual fees of $7.00 in advance for
each year of their license term in combination with the appropriate
application fee are to begin paying the new rate on September 12, 1996.
For private wireless licensees which pay $3.00 in advance for each year
of their license term in combination with the appropriate application
fee, there is no change and they will continue to do so.
5. Since the time for collecting fees is extremely limited, we are
unable to offer installment payments for fiscal year 1996.
6. Accordingly, it is ordered That the dates for collection of
fiscal year 1996 regulatory fees are as provided in paragraphs 2, 3 and
4 of this Order. This action is taken under delegated authority
pursuant to Secs. 0.231(a) and 1.1157(b)(1) of the Commission's rules.
47 U.S.C. Secs. .231(a) and 1.1157(b)(1).
