Regulatory Fees to recover an amount of $374,000,000 that Congress has
required the Commission to collect for fiscal year 2021. Section 9 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, provides for the annual
assessment and collection of regulatory fees under respectively.
DATES: Effective September 22, 2021. To avoid penalties and interest,
regulatory fees should be paid by the due date of September 24, 2021.
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 21-98, MD Docket No. 21-190, adopted on August 25, 2021
and released on August 26, 2020. The full text of this document is
available for public inspection by downloading the text from the
Commission's website at http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0906/FCC-17-111A1.pdf.
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
$374,000,000 in congressionally required regulatory fees for fiscal
year (FY) 2021. The regulatory fees for all payors are due on September
24, 2021.
4. This Report and Order addresses the issues that were raised in
the FY 2021 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking including: (i) The use of
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
have the Media Bureau-based DBS regulatory fee category to be in the
same fee category as cable television and internet Protocol Television
(IPTV); (iii) continuing to assess regulatory fees for full service
broadcast television on population-based methodology that we used for
FY 2020, including changes that we adopted previously for stations in
Puerto Rico; (iv) apportioning NGSO regulatory fees between the new
NGSO fee subcategories for ``less complex'' NGSO systems and ``other''
NGSO systems, taking into account the relative benefits provided to
them from our oversight and regulatory activities; and (v) extending
our streamlined waiver provisions adopted in FY 2020 for FY 2021. These
issues are discussed below.
II. Report and Order
A. Issues Raised by Commenters
5. Broadband DATA Act Implementation. As part of our FY 2021
appropriation, Congress directed the Commission to assess and collect
$374 million in regulatory fees, of which $33 million is to be made
available for implementing the Broadband DATA Act. Among other things,
the Broadband DATA Act requires the Commission to collect standardized,
granular data on the availability and quality of both fixed and mobile
broadband internet access services, to create a common dataset of all
locations where fixed broadband internet access service can be
installed (the Fabric), and to create publicly available coverage maps.
6. Several commenters representing the broadcast industry object to
the assessment on broadcasters of any portion of the $33 million
designated by Congress to cover the costs of implementation of the
Broadband DATA Act as part of the Commission's FY 2021 appropriation.
They argue that broadcasters are not regulated by nor do they benefit
from implementation of the Broadband DATA Act. Specifically, that these
Broadband DATA Act costs are not overhead costs because they pertain
only to certain Commission core bureaus and identifiable entities,
namely, broadband service providers, that are regulated by and benefit
from the Commission's activities implementing the legislation.
7. Therefore, we adjust the Commission's approach to account for
the unusual circumstances accompanying the Broadband DATA Act earmark.
While we categorize the costs of implementation of the Broadband DATA
Act as indirect costs consistent with our normal methodology, in this
limited instance, given the one-time nature and magnitude of the
earmark, the statutory text, the legislative history, and the record in
this proceeding, we exclude one group of regulatees--broadcasters or
``Media Services'' licensees--from their share of these indirect costs.
While we modify our methodology here with respect to the $33 million
earmark, this one-time modification is consistent with the Commission's
longstanding goals of implementing a fair, sustainable, and
administrable regulatory fee regime.
8. Auction FTEs. Several commenters contend that the Commission
should include auctions FTEs in the calculation of indirect and
overhead expenses. In other words, excluding Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau FTEs who work on auction issues artificially
depresses the costs attributable to the wireless industry and,
disadvantages Media Bureau regulatees, as the Media Bureau has
substantially fewer of its FTEs classified as auction employees. We
find, however, that including auctions FTEs would be inconsistent with
section 9 of the Act and therefore decline to accept this proposal.
Section 9 of the Communications Act requires the Commission to assess
and collect regulatory fees to recover the costs of carrying out the
Commission's functions equal to the amount of the Commission's salaries
and expenses appropriations each fiscal year. Auctions FTEs are not
included in the calculation of regulatory fees because our methodology
excludes all auction-related FTEs and their overhead from the
regulatory fee calculations. Auctions
[[Page 52743]]
expenses are separately funded and not part of the Commission's
appropriation supported by regulatory fees. The Commission recovers the
costs of developing and implementing its section 309(j) spectrum
auctions program as an offsetting collection against auction proceeds
and subject to an annual cap.
9. Office of Engineering and Technology Activities. Commenters
contend that the Commission should require users of unlicensed spectrum
and/or equipment manufacturers to pay regulatory fees to support the
Commission's Office of Engineering and Technology's (OET's) work on the
management of spectrum for unlicensed use and authorization of
equipment. We decline the commenters' request to revisit our
fundamental regulatory fees methodology, and their proposal to create
one or more new regulatory fee payor categories consisting of
unlicensed spectrum users and/or equipment manufacturers, which under
our current methodology would effectively transform OET into a ``core
bureau'' and transform OET FTEs into ``direct'' FTEs. The Commission
has not treated OET as a core bureau and has considered its FTEs' work
to be ``indirect'' activities for which all payors of regulatory fees
have been responsible.
10. Exempt Noncommercial Stations. A broadcast commenter contends
that broadcasters should not be responsible for the regulatory fees of
exempt noncommercial stations. The RAY BAUM'S Act specifically exempted
non-commercial radio and television stations from regulatory fees. And
because Congress has mandated collection of regulatory fees equal to
the annual appropriation, the $374 million must be collected from all
non-exempt regulatory fee payors. As a result, we find it is consistent
with section 9 of the Act to include those costs that are attributable
to all regulatees in each bureau's revenue requirement because all of
the regulatees in that fee category, whether they pay regulatory fees
or not, benefit from the oversight and regulation of that bureau.
B. Commercial Mobile Radio Service Regulatory Fees Calculation
11. We adopt our proposal to include non-geographic numbers in the
calculation of the number of subscribers for each Commercial Mobile
Radio Service (CMRS) provider. The inclusion non-geographic numbers
does not increase the total amount collected from the CMRS industry but
will reduce the per subscriber fee. In the FY 2021 NPRM, we determined
that, with the inclusion of non-geographic numbers, there would be 504
million payment units, and the estimated regulatory fee would be 15
cents per subscriber. As we explained in the FY 2021 NPRM, non-
geographic numbers are assigned numbers but not associated with any
particular geographic area. They are included in Numbering Resource
Utilization Forecast (NRUF) Report 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. For that reason, the Commission did not previously include
these numbers in the CMRS subscriber count estimates because it would
result in double counting of subscribers. More recently, however, non-
geographic numbers are increasingly used for machine-to-machine
calling, such as wireless alarm monitoring and car emergency services
subscriptions. Therefore, counting non-geographic numbers for
regulatory fee purposes is no longer duplicative of the geographic
number. No commenters oppose our proposal, and we therefore adopt it.
C. Direct Broadcast Satellite Fees
12. We adopt our proposal to complete the phase-in of the DBS
regulatory fee and place all DBS, cable television, and internet
Protocol television (IPTV) providers in the same fee category at the
same per subscriber regulatory fee. 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. DBS providers are multichannel
video programming distributors (MVPDs), as defined in section 602(13)
of the Act. The Media Bureau oversees the regulation of MVPDs,
including the two providers of DBS in the United States: DISH Network
and DIRECTV. Upon adoption of this Report and Order, the Commission
will include cable, IPTV, and DBS in the same fee category. Commenters
also request that the Commission use updated MVPD subscriber numbers
that are closer in time to the release of the Commission's annual
regulatory fee order. While we understand this concern, we are unable
to administratively accommodate this request. Since DBS subscriber
information is not reported to the Commission, it would be difficult
for the Commission to permit DBS providers to pay based on their most
recent subscriber count in June, for example, because this subscriber
count information would only become known to the Commission when DBS
providers make their payment in late September. Therefore, we decline
to make this change on the reporting date of DBS subscriber
information.
D. Full-Service Television Broadcaster Fees
1. FY 2021 Regulatory Fees
13. We adopt the use of the population-based methodology for full-
service television broadcasters for FY 2021, as proposed. In FY 2020,
the Commission completed the transition to a population-based full-
power broadcast television regulatory fee, finding it to be more
equitable. In the FY 2021 NPRM, we proposed adopting a factor of .8525
of one cent ($.008525) per population served for FY 2021 full-power
broadcast television station fees. We are, however, adopting a lower
fee factor, .7793 of one cent ($.007793). This lower fee factor is a
result of excluding radio and television broadcasters from the $33
million portion of our appropriation that is earmarked for
implementation of the Broadband DATA Act. The population data for each
licensee and the population-based fee (population multiplied by
$.007793) for each full-power broadcast television station, including
each satellite station, is listed in Table 7. Some commenters argue
that the Commission's resources in oversight and regulation do not
increase or decrease depending on the population served by a
broadcaster, and therefore we should not base the regulatory fee on the
population served. These commenters do not, however, offer an
alternative proposal that would be fair and reasonable to small and
large broadcasters. As we have previously stated, the Commission's
methodology need not reach scientific precision, but simply be
reasonable.
2. Stations in Puerto Rico
14. We adopt the same adjustments to population count for FY 2021
for TV broadcasters in Puerto Rico that we provided those broadcasters
in FY 2020. Previously, a group of broadcasters in Puerto Rico argued
that our methodology overstates the population served by Puerto Rico
stations because the mountainous terrain conditions result in the
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 underlying the TVStudy. To address these concerns, in
the FY 2020 Report and Order, the Commission
[[Page 52744]]
reduced the population counts used in the TVStudy by 16.9%, or the
decline between the last census in 2010 and the current population
estimate. Additionally, the Commission limited the market served by
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 find that since commenters on this issue do not
oppose the Commission's actions, we adopt our proposals in the FY 2021
NPRM to adjust the population and to limit the market served by all
stations to the total population.
E. Toll-Free Numbers
15. We decline to revise our rules and remove a Responsible
Organizations (RespOrgs)'s responsibility to pay regulatory fees for
toll-free numbers. 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. Historically, the Commission has not assessed
regulatory fees on toll-free numbers under the rationale that the
entities controlling the numbers, wireline and wireless carriers, were
paying regulatory fees based on either revenues or subscribers. For
reasons discussed in the FY 2014 Report and Order and the FY 2015
Report and Order, the Commission established a regulatory fee
obligation for RespOrgs that manage toll-free numbers, beginning in FY
2015, so that toll-free numbers are allocated in an equitable and
orderly manner that serves the public interest under section 251(e)(1)
of the Act.
16. A commenter contends that the regulatory fee for toll-free
numbers should be assessed differently for entities that are not
carriers, arguing that carriers that report revenues on FCC Form 499s,
should be responsible for the payment of regulatory fees. Commenter
contends that clients should remit the fee to the Commission under
their own FCC Registration Numbers. We disagree and continue to believe
that the existing process is orderly and equitable. While we recognize
that many RespOrgs offset their fee payments to the Commission by
passing these fees on to their customers who use the toll-free numbers,
this practice is not mandatory. The statutory responsibility for
payment of the regulatory fee rests solely with the regulated entity,
the RespOrg, and not with customers of the RespOrg. Therefore, it is
the responsibility of the RespOrg to pay the full amount of toll-free
regulatory fees to the Commission by the fee due date.
F. Submarine Cable Regulatory Fees
17. We adopt our proposal to use the same tiers for assessing fees
on submarine cable operators for FY 2021 as in FY 2020, which are based
on the ``lit'' capacity of the fiber-optic submarine cable.
International bearer circuits (IBCs) consist of terrestrial and
satellite circuits and submarine cable systems. Prior to 2009, IBC
regulatory fees were collected based on 64 kbps circuits for each of
the three types of facilities used to provide international service. In
2009, at the request of a large number of submarine cable operators
(``2009 Consensus Proposal''), the Commission changed the methodology
for assessing IBC fees and began to assess fees on a per cable landing
license basis, with higher fees for larger submarine cable systems and
lower fees for smaller 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. Through FY 2019, the Commission continued to assess
fees for international service provided over terrestrial and satellite
facilities based on a per 64 kbps basis with the proportion of 87.6%
for submarine cable operators, and 12.4% for terrestrial and satellite
facilities based on relative capacity at the time. Later, the
Commission adopted a five-tier structure for assessing fees on
submarine cables systems, with larger systems paying more based on lit
capacity, and a per gigabits per second (Gbps) assessment on active
circuit capacity for terrestrial and satellite facilities.
18. In the FY 2020 Report and Order, the Commission revised the
allocation of IBC fees and adopted new tiers for the fees. 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. The Commission found again that capacity was
an appropriate measure by which to assess IBC fees. The Commission
rejected the use of a flat rate for submarine cables and adjusted the
tiers for submarine cables. Subsequently, in the FY 2021 NPRM, we
proposed to use the same tiers for assessing fees on submarine cable
operators as the Commission adopted in the FY 2020 Report and Order. We
find there are no significant changes in our regulatory framework and
oversight of submarine cables, or changes in the marketplace, to
reevaluate our fee framework based on lit capacity. As the Commission
has previously stated, lit capacity is a reasonable basis to assess
regulatory costs among the submarine cable regulatees that benefit from
the Commission's work. We therefore find sufficient reason to adopt
submarine cable systems fees based on lit capacity.
G. Space Station Regulatory Fees
1. NGSO Regulatory Fees--Less Complex and Other
19. In 2020, the Commission adjusted the allocation of FTEs among
GSO and NGSO space station and earth station operators. The Commission
noted the disparity in number of units between GSO space stations (98)
and NGSO systems (seven), and observed that many space stations can be
operated under a single NGSO license while counting as a single unit
for regulatory fee purposes, but only one satellite can be operated per
GSO space station regulatory fee unit. To ensure that regulatory fees
more closely reflect the work of FTEs' oversight and regulation for
each category, the Commission allocated 80% of space station regulatory
fees to GSOs and 20% of the space station regulatory fees to NGSOs.
20. In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking attached to the FY
2020 Report and Order, the Commission sought comment on adopting
subcategories of NGSO systems for regulatory fee purposes. Based on
comments received, we concluded that space systems planning to
communicate with 20 or fewer U.S. authorized earth stations that are
primarily used for Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) and/or
Automatic Identification System (AIS) are significantly less complex to
regulate than other types of NGSO systems. We concluded that this
category of ``less complex'' systems does in fact require fewer
Commission resources for several reasons. Such systems rarely involve
resource-intensive NGSO processing rounds, based on their ability to
share with other operators in the requested frequency bands. The
``Other'' types of NGSO systems typically have a more global presence,
thereby requiring significantly more resources in connection with
international forums. These other NGSO systems also have significant
spectrum needs and involve a variety of frequency bands, technical
issues, and services, constituting a significant part of the
International Bureau's NGSO work and resource allocation. We therefore
adopted two new fee subcategories: ``less complex'' NGSO systems and
all other NGSO systems identified as ``other'' NGSO systems, both under
the broader category of ``Space Stations (Non-Geostationary Orbit)''
with an 20/
[[Page 52745]]
80 allocation within the NGSO fee category. We proposed a 20/80
allocation (in the FY 2021 NPRM) 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.
21. Several commenters disagree generally with creating NGSO
subcategories, arguing that operators should not pay differing fees
based on whether an NGSO system is ``less complex.'' Below, we discuss
the NGSO subcategories and the allocation of the NGSO fees among the
NGSO subcategories.
a. NGSO Space Station Subcategories
22. We reject commenters' arguments that we should not have adopted
the ``less complex'' and ``other'' subcategories within the NGSO
regulatory fee category. Our decision is based on the fact that
commenters primarily rely on arguments that were fully considered and
addressed as part of our decision in the Report and Order accompanying
the FY 2021 NPRM, providing no new arguments or citing no new
developments. Thus, our decision to create two NGSO fee subcategories
incorporated elements of the specific proposals, and our decision-
making process did not constitute an ``abrupt reversal'' or ``abrupt
change in direction,'' but was based on a fully developed record
following a notice and comment rulemaking.
23. We also disagree with the contention that we ``attached
misplaced significance'' to application processing costs in determining
the amount of Commission resources used in the oversight and regulation
of NGSO systems because we took into consideration processing round
procedures in concluding that certain NGSO systems require fewer
Commission resources. Section 9 of the Communications Act requires the
Commission to recover, through regulatory fees, the total amount of its
appropriation each year. The Commission must consider all FTE time
costs in recovering its regulatory fees. We perform a holistic analysis
of our regulation of NGSO systems and the FTE time accorded the
oversight and regulation thereof, including rulemakings benefiting
those systems, which are directly relevant for purposes of assessing
regulatory fees. In so doing, we look at the overall FTE time spent in
oversight and regulation of the types of NGSO systems and identify
examples of proceedings involving certain NGSO systems.
24. Finally, we reject commenters' allegations that the
consideration of earth stations is overly simplistic. Comparative
complexity in earth station siting and licensing is not relevant to our
analysis to determine whether an NGSO space system is less complex to
regulate. Regulatory fees for earth stations are separately assessed
from space stations fees. Although individual earth station
applications may differ in terms of Commission resources required to
process, those activities are not relevant to determine whether a space
system planning to communicate with such an earth station is a complex
system or not. Similarly, we disagree with arguments that space station
systems communicating with larger numbers of earth stations are not
likely to require more Commission oversight and regulatory activities.
While an earth station blanket license application for technically-
identical user terminals may in some instances be fairly easily
processed, the ongoing activities associated with regulating the
corresponding NGSO space station system will be more intensive, because
the number of earth stations is an indicator that the space system
itself is more complex. Furthermore, we also disagree with the
contention that our consideration of numbers of earth stations
presupposes that EESS systems require no more than 20 earth stations to
support their network. Our experience has shown that authorized EESS
systems typically communicate with fewer than 20 earth stations in the
United States, and takes into account earth stations owned and operated
by a third party that communicate with a particular NGSO system. As
indicated, we are using ``fewer than 20 earth stations'' as a proxy and
at the application stage, if we determine that a space system is
planning to communicate with more than 20 earth stations based on the
system design, such system design and plans would indicate that the
space system would not fall into the ``less complex'' system category
for regulatory fee purposes. Nothing in the record, or our analysis of
the resources the International Bureau devotes to NGSO oversight and
regulation, demonstrates that we erred in adopting an additional NGSO
space station regulatory fee category for ``less complex'' NGSO
systems.
b. 20/80 NGSO Regulatory Fee Allocation
25. We adopt our proposal from the FY 2021 NPRM to allocate 20% of
NGSO regulatory fees to ``less complex'' NGSO systems and 80% of NGSO
regulatory fees to ``other' NGSO systems. In so doing, we consider the
record, our experience, and analysis of the time International Bureau
FTEs devote to oversight and regulation of ``less complex'' and
``other'' NGSO systems. While some commenters agree with the 20/80
allocation, others disagree. Many of those commenters disagree with the
underlying creation of the ``less complex'' NGSO fee category, as
adopted. The Commission considered various aspects of the Commission's
oversight and the amount of FTE time devoted to the subcategories of
NGSOs, specifically on the number of applications processed, the number
of changes made to the Commission's rules, and the number of FTEs
working on oversight for each category of operators. Here, in
evaluating the FTE time devoted to the subcategories to develop the
proposed 20/80 allocation, we considered the adjudicatory role of the
Commission in connection with different types of NGSO systems--which is
typically more intensive for those systems authorized as part of
processing rounds. We also considered the number of rulemakings over
the last several years, as well as current rulemakings, and which types
of NGSO systems were implicated in those rulemaking activities, and we
considered the various international activities that Commission staff
engage in and how those activities benefit the different types of NGSO
systems. We then considered the number of FTEs typically working on
processing round issues/adjudications on an ongoing basis, compared the
number of FTEs working on various rulemakings, and considered the
number of FTEs in the International Bureau that engage in various
international activities and forums, and the extent to which such
activities benefit each category of NGSO system. Our allocation
percentage is based on our quantitative experience (approximate numbers
of FTE hours spent in a year) and expert judgement, and such
calculation remains to be the best approximation of our FTE cost
allocation at this time, based on the record before us. The fees must
be administrable, and we note again that the Commission's methodology
need not reach scientific precision and instead must simply be
reasonable.
2. NGSO Regulatory Fees--Satellites Authorized Under Multiple Call
Signs
26. We find it premature to make a determination how the
Commission's regulatory fees should apply to NGSO satellites operating
as an integrated NGSO system, but authorized under multiple call signs.
Several commenters to the FY 2021 NPRM asked us to clarify
[[Page 52746]]
whether NGSO satellites operating as an integrated NGSO system, but
authorized under multiple call signs, should be considered part of the
same system--and therefore be assessed a single regulatory fee.
Specifically, commenters suggest that the Commission should consider
NGSO satellites operating as part of the system--but authorized under
multiple call signs (even by different operators)--as one ``system''
for purposes of NGSO regulatory fees. The Commision does not currently
have any authorized NGSO systems that fit the description of a multi-
regulatee/multi-call sign NGSO system. The answer is likely to be fact-
specific, and involve a determination of what exactly constitutes an
NGSO ``system'' and where the space stations in the ``system'' are
operated by different entities. In the case of GSO space stations, it
is clear when there are multiple licensees associated with the same
physical satellite. The situation is less clear for NGSO systems
because the situation could quickly become factually complex where
different space stations in the ``system'' are described as
attributable to different entities for regulatory fee purposes. We will
continue to apply the general presumption that NGSO systems operated by
different licensees or market access grantees constitute different NGSO
systems.
H. Flexibility for Regulatory Payors Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
27. As proposed in the FY 2021 NPRM, we extend the temporary COVID-
19 regulatory fee relief measures that were implemented in our FY 2020
Report and Order. Last year, the Commission adopted certain relief
measures to address concerns raised by commenters about financial
hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Comments received in response
to the FY 2021 NPRM indicate that the financial hardship caused by the
pandemic have continued into the 2021 fiscal year. Accordingly, we find
good reason to continue the same relief measures we adopted in FY 2020
for FY 2021.
28. Specifically, for FY 2021, we again waive section 1.1166 of our
rules, to the extent necessary, to permit parties seeking regulatory
fee waiver, deferral and/or installment payment relief for financial
hardship reasons related to the pandemic. Those parties may make a
single request for all forms of relief sought, whether in combination
or in the alternative, and may submit all such requests for relief
electronically to the Commission via a dedicated email address. For FY
2021, the email address is [email protected]. Additionally, we
partially waive our red-light rule to allow debtors that are
experiencing financial hardship to nonetheless request relief with
respect to their regulatory fees. As we provided in FY 2020, however,
such regulatees are required to resolve all delinquent debt by paying
it in full, entering into an installment agreement to repay it, and/or
if applicable, curing all payment and other defaults under existing
installment agreements. 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.
29. Regulatees whose businesses have been hurt by the pandemic, but
not to the extent required to receive a waiver, reduction, or deferral,
may be eligible to pay their FY 2021 fees in installments under section
1.1914 of our rules. For those regulatees, 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 suspend our down payment
requirement. We also 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 again 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. Finally, we direct the
Managing Director to release one or more public notices describing in
more detail the relief we have described herein.
We remind regulatees 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 the
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.
III. Procedural Matters
30. Included below are procedural items as well as our current
payment and collection methods.
31. 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.
32. 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 http://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
[[Page 52747]]
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.
33. 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 it meets the de minimis exemption.
34. 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 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
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 (Earth Stations and Space
Stations): 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 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.
35. Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) and Mobile Services
Assessments. The Commission compiled 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 Tables 2 and the CMRS regulatory fee rate in
Table 3. CMRS provider regulatory fees are 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).
36. 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
[[Page 52748]]
Filer. A final CMRS assessment letter will not be mailed out.
37. 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.
38. Effective Date. Providing a 30-day period after Federal
Register publication before this Report and Order and Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, becomes effective as normally required by 5 U.S.C.
553(d) will not allow sufficient time to collect the FY 2021 fees
before FY 2021 ends on September 30, 2021. 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 and Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking 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 the Report
and Order will still have a reasonable period in which to make their
payments and thereby comply with the rules established herein.
39. 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 document.
40. 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).
41. Congressional Review Act. 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 and Order and Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to Congress and the Government Accountability Office
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

Notes on Table 2
[[Page 52750]]
\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
[[Page 52752]]
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.

IV. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as
amended (RFA), an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was
included in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for fiscal year
2021. 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
2. In the Report and Order, the Commission adopts a regulatory fee
schedule to collect $374,000,000 in congressionally required regulatory
fees for fiscal year (FY) 2021. Under section 9 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, (Communications Act or 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. The objective in the Report for adopting the regulatory
fee schedule is to comply with the Congressional mandate to recover the
total amount of the Commission's annual appropriation, from the various
industries for which the Commission provides oversight or regulation,
based on the number of full time employees (FTEs) involved in such
oversight and regulation in the licensing bureaus.
B. Summary of the Significant Issues Raised by the Public Comments in
Response to the IRFA
3. None.
C. Response to Comments by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration
4. 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
5. 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.
6. Small Businesses, Small Organizations, Small Governmental
Jurisdictions. Small Businesses, Small Organizations, Small
Governmental Jurisdictions. Our actions, over time, 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 Small
Business Administration's (SBA) 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 30.7 million businesses.
7. 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.''
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses a revenue benchmark of $50,000
or less to delineate its annual electronic filing requirements for
small exempt organizations. Nationwide, for tax year 2018, there were
approximately 571,709 small exempt organizations in the U.S. reporting
revenues of $50,000 or less according to the registration and tax data
for exempt organizations available from the IRS.
8. 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 2017 Census of Governments indicate that there
were 90,075 local governmental jurisdictions consisting of general
purpose governments and special purpose governments in the United
States. Of this number there were 36,931 general purpose governments
(county, municipal and town or township) with populations of less than
50,000 and 12,040 special purpose governments--independent school
districts with enrollment populations of less than 5ll governmental
jurisdictions.''
9. 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 Voice over internet Protocol (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
[[Page 52782]]
than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this size standard, the majority of
firms in this industry can be considered small.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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
[[Page 52783]]
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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. The Commission has estimated the number of licensed commercial
television stations to be 1,377. Of this 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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
[[Page 52784]]
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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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
[[Page 52785]]
Wired Telecommunications Carriers, and Wireless Telecommunications
Carriers (except satellite).
30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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.''
33. 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.
34. 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 management consulting services
are small.
35. 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
36. 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
37. 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.
38. The methodology adopted by the Commission for using the
population-based calculations for TV broadcasters was initially adopted
because it is a fairer methodology for the smaller broadcasters. The
Commission is using this methodology for this year, too. The changes
for Puerto Rican broadcasters were adopted by the Commission in order
to give relief for these broadcasters, some of which may be small
entities, and the Commission is also using this methodology this year.
Finally, the waiver process that we adopted previously and are
continuing in 2021 was adopted to provide relief to entities that have
suffered financial hardship in the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes
small entities.
39. In addition, under the Commission's de minimis rule, 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.
V. Ordering Clauses
40. 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 Report and Order is hereby adopted.
41. It is further ordered that the FY 2021 section 9 regulatory
fees assessment requirements and the rules set forth in this Report and
Order are adopted as specified herein.
42. It is further ordered that this Report and Order shall be
effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
43. It is further ordered that the Commission's Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference
[[Page 52786]]
