I. Procedural Matters
6. Ex Parte Information. The proceeding initiated by this NPRM, in
which we seek comment on proposals as described above, 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 Sec. 1.1206(b) of the Commission's rules. In
proceedings governed by Sec. 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.
7. 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 NPRM. The Commission will send a copy of
the NPRM, including the IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration.
8. 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).
[[Page 38589]]
I. Introduction
9. For fiscal year (FY) 2022, the Commission is required to collect
$381,950,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2022, pursuant to sections 9 and
9A of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act),
and the Commission's FY 2022 Appropriations Act. In this NPRM, we seek
comment on associated changes to the non-geostationary orbit (NGSO)
space stations regulatory fee rates. We also seek comment on the
Commission's proposed regulatory fees for FY 2022 as set forth in
Tables 2 and 3 in addition to other issues including: continuing to use
our methodology for calculating television broadcaster regulatory fees
based on population; calculating the costs of collection of regulatory
fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold; and how our
proposals may promote or inhibit advances in diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility.
II. Background
10. Congress requires the Commission to assess and collect
regulatory fees each year in an amount that can reasonably be expected
to equal the amount of its annual salaries and expenses (S&E)
appropriation. Regulatory fees cover direct costs, such as salaries and
expenses; indirect costs, such as overhead functions; statutorily
required tasks that do not directly equate with oversight and
regulation of a particular regulatee but instead benefit the Commission
and the industry as a whole; and support costs such as rent, utilities,
and equipment. Regulatory fees also cover the costs incurred in
oversight and regulation of entities that are statutorily exempt from
paying regulatory fees (i.e., governmental and nonprofit entities,
amateur radio operators, and noncommercial radio and television
stations), entities that are exempt from payment of FY 2022 regulatory
fees because their total assessed annual regulatory fees fall below the
annual de minimis threshold, and entities whose regulatory fees are
waived. Pursuant to section 9(d) of the Communications Act, the
Commission's methodology for assessing regulatory fees must ``reflect
the full-time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and
offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that
are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee
by the Commission's activities.'' For FY 2022, the Commission must
recover $381,950,000, as set forth in the FY 2022 Consolidated
Appropriations Act.
11. Each year, early in the fiscal year, the Commission receives
full time equivalent (FTE) data from its Human Resources Office, and
identifies FTE data at the core bureau level (i.e., direct FTEs), which
is then used to determine the FTE allocations for the four core
bureaus. This FTE data is then filtered down to the various fee
categories within each core bureau based on the fee category
percentages for each bureau. After the number of direct FTEs is
determined within each core bureau of the Commission, a percentage of
the total amount to be collected in regulatory fees for a given fiscal
year is calculated for each core bureau based on the number of direct
FTEs within a core bureau. The total of the percentages for each core
bureau must equal 100% of the amount to be collected. The total
percentage for a core bureau is then used to calculate the percentages
for the various regulatory fee categories within each core bureau, as
provided by the Commission's bureaus. Thus, the regulatory fee
categories within each core bureau make up a percentage of a core
bureau's total percentage to be collected in regulatory fees.
12. These percentages, either at the regulatory fee category level
within a core bureau or summed up to the core bureau level, represent
the dollar amount of regulatory fees to be collected by multiplying
each fee category percentage by the target goal to be collected. For
example, the Wireline Competition Bureau, a core bureau, has direct
FTEs that constitute 33.74% of all regulatory fees to be collected. The
Wireline Competition Bureau also has two fee categories from which
33.74% of the fees are to be collected: (1) the Interstate
Telecommunications Service Provider Fee (ITSP) fee category constitutes
32.62%, and (2) the Toll Free Number fee category constitutes 1.12% for
a total sum of 33.74%. The percentage for each fee category represents
the amount to collect in regulatory fees for that fee category--for
example, for the ITSP fee category, 32.62% amounts to $124.59 million
from an FY 2022 target goal of $381,950,000. This dollar amount
($124.59 million) divided by the estimated units for the ITSP fee
category determines the fee rate, which is then rounded to the nearest
$5, where applicable. Indirect FTEs are then allocated proportionally
based on the allocation percentage of direct FTEs of each core bureaus.
13. The indirect FTEs are the FTEs in the Enforcement Bureau,
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau, Chairwoman's and Commissioners' offices, Office of the
Managing Director, Office of General Counsel, Office of the Inspector
General, Office of Communications Business Opportunities, Office of
Engineering and Technology, Office of Legislative Affairs, Office of
Workplace Diversity, Office of Media Relations, Office of Economics and
Analytics, and Office of Administrative Law Judges, along with some
FTEs in the Wireline Competition Bureau and the International Bureau
that the Commission has previously classified as indirect for
regulatory fee purposes. Unlike the work of direct FTEs, the work of
FTEs designated as indirect benefits the Commission and the industry as
a whole and is not specifically focused on the regulatees and licensees
of a core bureau. The high percentage of indirect FTEs is indicative of
the fact that many Commission activities and costs are not limited to a
particular fee category and instead benefit the Commission and its work
as a whole.
14. In section 9 of the Communications Act, Congress prescribed a
method of collecting an amount equal to the full S&E appropriation by
keying the regulatory fee assessment to FTE burden. As a result, the
fee assigned to each regulatory fee category relates to the FTE burden
associated with their oversight and regulation by the relevant core
bureaus. Because the total amount the Commission must collect in an
offsetting collection generally changes each fiscal year, payors'
regulatory fees will also typically change each fiscal year as a
mathematical consequence of the changes in the total amount to be
collected, the number of Commission FTEs, and projected unit estimates
for each fee category. Beyond those changed collection requirements,
consideration of changes, additions, or deletions to the regulatory fee
schedule is focused on the Commission's direct FTE cost burden related
to the regulatory fee category at issue within each core bureau.
15. Adjustments and Amendments to Regulatory Fee Schedule. Each
year, the Commission is required to adjust the schedule of regulatory
fees to ``(A) reflect unexpected increases or decreases in the number
of units subject to the payment of such fees; and (B) result in the
collection of the amount required'' by the Commission's annual
appropriation. Each year the Commission issues a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to seek comment on its methodology for assessing regulatory
fees and the proposed regulatory fees for the fiscal year.
[[Page 38590]]
III. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
16. In this annual regulatory fee NPRM, we seek comment on our
methodology for assessing regulatory fees and on the schedule of FY
2022 regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 and 3. We also seek
comment on associated changes to the NGSO space station regulatory fee
rates in addition to several other issues such as continuing to use our
methodology for calculating television broadcaster regulatory fees
based on population; calculating the costs of collection of regulatory
fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold; and how our
proposals may promote or inhibit advances in diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility.
A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees
17. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees. Congress has
required us to collect $381,950,000 in regulatory fees for FY 2022. In
doing so, section 9 of the Communications 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 first looking to the core bureaus within
the Commission in order to identify the number of direct non-auction
FTEs from each core bureau and then categorize the remaining non-
auction FTEs and other Commission costs as indirect. Once the direct
FTEs are identified, we then allocate fees to specific fee categories
within each core bureau. These proportional calculations allocate all
Commission non-auction related costs across all fee categories. We find
that our methodology is consistent with section 9 of the Communications
Act which requires us to base our methodology on the number of FTEs in
calculating regulatory fees. We seek comment on this methodology and on
the schedule of FY 2022 regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 and 3.
Any proposals or comments requesting a change or modification to our
proposed FY 2022 regulatory fees should include a thorough analysis
showing a sufficient basis for making the change and provide
alternative options for the Commission to meet its statutory obligation
to collect the full amount of the appropriation by the end of the
fiscal year. Commenters should also indicate how such alternative
options are fair, administrable, and sustainable.
18. Allocating FTEs. Consistent with past practices, we propose to
base the allocation of fee categories for FY 2022 on the Commission's
calculation of FTEs in each regulatory fee category. Each year, early
in the fiscal year, the Commission receives FTE data from the
Commission's Human Resources Office, and identifies FTE data at the
core bureau level (direct FTEs). This FTE data is then filtered down to
the various fee categories within each core bureau. The total FTEs for
each fee category include the direct FTEs associated with that category
plus a proportional allocation of indirect FTEs. Applying the
requirements of section 9 of the Communications Act 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. To calculate fees for each licensee, we identify ``units''
used to calculate the fees. For example, broadcast licensees' fees will
vary by population served and commercial mobile radio service (CMRS)
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.
19. In sum, there are 329 direct FTEs for FY 2022, distributed
among the core bureaus as follows International Bureau (28), Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (70), Wireline Competition Bureau (111), and
the Media Bureau (120). This results in 8.51% of the FTE allocation for
International Bureau regulatees; 21.28% of the FTE allocation for
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; 33.74% of the FTE
allocation for Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and 36.47% of
FTE allocation for Media Bureau regulatees. There are in turn 943
indirect FTEs spread across the Commission: Enforcement Bureau (187),
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (111), Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (98), part of the International Bureau (52),
part of the Wireline Competition Bureau (38), Chairman and
Commissioners' offices (22), Office of the Managing Director (136),
Office of General Counsel (70), Office of the Inspector General (47),
Office of Communications Business Opportunities (10), Office of
Engineering and Technology (66), Office of Legislative Affairs (8),
Office of Workforce Diversity (4), Office of Media Relations (12),
Office of Economics and Analytics (78), and Office of Administrative
Law Judges (4). Allocating these indirect FTEs based on the direct FTE
allocations yields an additional 80.26 FTEs attributable to
International Bureau regulatees, 200.64 FTEs attributable to Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatees, 318.16 FTEs attributable to
Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees, and 343.95 FTEs attributable to
Media Bureau regulatees.
20. Based on these allocations and the requirement to collect
$381,950,000 in regulatory fees this year, we project collecting
approximately $32.51 million (8.51%) in fees from International Bureau
regulatees; $81.27 million (21.28%) in fees from Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; $128.86 million (33.74%) from
Wireline Competition Bureau regulatees; and $139.31 million (36.47%)
from Media Bureau regulatees. We set specific regulatory fees in Table
3 so that regulatees within a fee category pay their proportionate
share based on an objective measure (e.g., revenues or number of
subscribers). The proposed fees are based on the established
methodology, applied to the allocated direct FTEs and based on the
Commission's appropriation amount of $381,950,000. We seek comment on
our methodology. Commenters proposing adjustments to our methodology
should explain the basis for their proposals.
1. Regulatory Fee Rates for Space Stations
21. We seek comment on the proposed regulatory fees for space
stations as provided in Table 2. In 2021, the Commission adopted new
NGSO space stations regulatory fee subcategories: ``less complex'' and
``other,'' both under the broader category of ``Space Stations (Non-
Geostationary Orbit).'' In the FY 2021 Report and Order, 86 FR 52742
(Sept. 22, 2021), the Commission subsequently adopted the proposal from
the FY 2021 NPRM, 86 FR 52429 (Sept. 21, 2021), to allocate 20% of NGSO
space station regulatory fees to ``less complex'' NGSO space stations
and 80% of NGSO regulatory fees to ``other'' NGSO space stations. As
discussed above, in this proceeding, we determine a fee methodology for
small satellites, and integrate the small satellite fee category into
the NGSO space stations fee category. Accordingly, in Table 2, we have
included the proposed fees for NGSO space stations calculated by
assessing the fees that small satellites will pay in FY 2022, reducing
that amount from the overall NGSO space stations fee category, and
allocating the remaining NGSO space station fees 20/
[[Page 38591]]
80 using the two new fee subcategories: ``less complex'' NGSO space
stations and all other NGSO space stations identified as ``other'' NGSO
space stations.''
22. Below is a table illustrating the proposed NGSO fee rates for
FY 2022. These proposed regulatory fees are also listed in Tables 2 and
3. We seek comment on these proposed regulatory fees. Commenters
proposing alternative should explain the basis for their proposals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed NGSO--small satellite fee Proposed NGSO--less complex space station fee (per
(per license) Proposed NGSO--other space station fee (per system) system)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$12,145........................... $338,020 $140,840
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Spacecraft Performing On-Orbit Servicing and Rendezvous and
Proximity Operations. Two commenters propose the creation of additional
fee categories, citing similarities between the characteristics of
small satellites and those other satellite services commenters contend
should have a separate fee. Spaceflight proposes that the Commission
create a separate fee category for spacecraft performing on-orbit
services (OOS), which would include deployment, rendezvous and
proximity services. Spaceflight posits that OOS spacecraft share
characteristics of small satellites and ``less complex'' NGSO systems
thereby justifying the creation of a new and lower fee category.
Spaceflight also distinguishes between OOS spacecraft and traditional
NGSO satellites in that OOS spacecraft have limited duration and scope
of use as well as a limited number of earth stations; require a smaller
investment in OOS technology; require less ongoing regulation owing to
the shorter duration of OOS spacecraft; will likely be licensed on a
shared use basis. Spaceflight also notes that OOS spacecraft are
licensed on a non-interference basis without the need for processing
round procedures or post-processing round disputes over matters such as
interference protection and spectrum priority. In addition, Astroscale
proposes that the Commission create a new fee category for rendezvous
and proximity operations (RPO). Astroscale submits that a Commission
proceeding to create service rules and a corresponding fee category for
RPO services would provide much needed permanency and clarity to
support this nascent infrastructure. In allocating this fee, Astroscale
argues that the Commission should consider the similarities that RPO
services share with small satellites, such as one-way data
communication, and with ``less complex'' NGSO systems, such as the
less-intensive use of ground stations.
24. At this time, we tentatively conclude that it would be
premature to adopt new fee categories for OOS and RPO operations. To
date, there have been a limited number of such operations and these
have been treated on a case-by-case basis. Except for GSO servicing
missions, we expect that most OOS and RPO operations will be NGSO, but
we tentatively conclude that it is too early to identify exactly where
operations such as those in low-Earth orbit (LEO) might fit into the
regulatory fee structure in the future. Thus, at this time, we do not
have a record sufficient to propose to establish a fee category(ies)
and appropriate methodology for assessing such a fee category(ies). We
propose that, until we gain more experience in regulating such systems,
we continue to regulate these systems as we have and consider OOS and
RPO spacecraft licensing on a mission-by-mission basis. We seek comment
on these tentative conclusions. Commenters that nonetheless favor a new
fee category or categories should fully explain the basis for their
positions, including how the Commission might identify exactly where
these operations might fit into the regulatory fee structure.
25. However, although we do not adopt a new regulatory and
corresponding fee category for OOS and RPO spacecraft at this time, we
further seek comment on whether and how to assess fees for these types
of spacecraft, and other types of satellites servicing other
satellites, which operate near to the GSO arc. Specifically, we seek
comment on whether a satellite servicing other satellites that operates
above the GSO arc should be treated as a GSO space station for
regulatory fee purposes. We also seek comment on what factors should be
considered in determining whether the servicing spacecraft should be
assessed regulatory fees separately. For example, what percentage of
time are the satellites co-located with a GSO satellite?
B. Full-Service Television Broadcaster Fees
26. In the FY 2020 Report and Order, 85 FR 59864 (Sept. 23, 2020),
we completed the transition to a population-based full-service
broadcast television regulatory fee. We do not reopen that decision
relating to these regulatory fees being based on population at this
time. For FY 2022, we propose to continue to assess fees for full-power
broadcast television stations based on the population covered by a
full-service broadcast television station's contour and seek comment on
our mechanism, described below, for how we will calculate the
regulatory fee based on the previously decided population-based
methodology. As described in Table 7, we propose adopting a factor of
.88 of one cent ($.008803) per person served for FY 2022 full-service
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 $.008803 for each full-service broadcast
television station), including each satellite station is listed in
Table 7. We seek comment on these proposed fees. Any commenters
suggesting different ways to measure population-based fees for full-
service television broadcasters should indicate the proposed fees and
the underlying calculation and basis for the fees.
C. De Minimis Threshold
27. We seek comment on how to calculate the costs of collection of
regulatory fees in establishing the annual de minimis threshold of
$1,000. Section 9(e)(2) of the Communications Act permits the
Commission to exempt a party from paying regulatory fees if ``in the
judgment of the Commission, the cost of collecting a regulatory fee
established under this section from a party would exceed the amount
collected from such party. . . .'' NAB proposes that we increase the de
minimis threshold, above $1,000, in order to assist small broadcasters.
We remind commenters that the text of section 9(e)(2) of the
Communications Act does not include language
[[Page 38592]]
suggesting that such considerations be used in determining the cost of
collecting a regulatory fee for purposes of setting the de minimis
threshold.
28. In the FY 2019 Report and Order, 84 FR 50890 (Sept. 26, 2019),
the Commission concluded that section 9(e)(2) of the Communications Act
codifies our authority to adopt a de minimis exemption. At that time,
the Commission analyzed the average cost of collecting delinquent debt
and estimated that the Commission's cost of collecting the debt would
exceed $1,000. The Commission determined that its administrative debt
collection process involves many steps, including data compilation,
preparation and validation; invoicing; debt transfer for third party
collection; responding to debtor questions and disputes; and processing
payments. Accordingly, the Commission retained the de minimis threshold
for annual regulatory fee payors at $1,000.
29. We seek comment on NAB's proposal to increase the de minimis
threshold. Commenters should discuss how we should calculate the costs
of collection of regulatory fees and whether the cost of collecting a
regulatory fee begins after the regulatory fees are due and once
delinquencies occur. Alternatively, should the cost of collection begin
when the Commission collects data on a payor's regulatory fee status,
generally prior to the regulatory fee due date? Commenters advocating a
higher annual de minimis threshold should discuss which steps in the
debt collection process should be included in ``the cost of collecting
a regulatory fee.'' For example, should the Commission also consider
the costs associated with reviewing and resolving waiver requests and
installment payment requests? Commenters suggesting an increase should
indicate what the threshold should be increased to and the factual and
statutory basis for such an increase. Commenters should also explain if
the proposed definition of costs of collection is consistent with other
uses of the term in the U.S. Code with respect to collection of federal
fees.
D. Indirect Full Time Equivalents
30. As discussed above, the Commission has previously reclassified
certain direct FTEs as indirect for regulatory purposes due to the
nature of their work assignments. We seek comment on whether such
reclassifications, on balance, produce a more accurate regulatory fee
assessment. If reclassification is appropriate in certain
circumstances, should we consider different calculation methods when
reclassified FTEs work on issues that clearly do not benefit certain
classes of licensees? If so, how should we adjust our calculation
method? In addition, how frequently should the Commission revisit such
reclassifications to ensure that the FTEs accurately reflect the work
of the relevant Bureau? Are the current reclassifications still
appropriate? To what extent does reclassification undermine the
Commission's rationale for retaining its current direct/indirect
methodology?
E. New Regulatory Fee Categories
31. In the FY 2021 NPRM, we sought comment on ``whether we should
adopt new regulatory fee categories and on ways to improve our
regulatory fee process regarding any and all categories of service.''
We invite additional comment in order to help inform our consideration
of these issues.
F. Digital Equity and Inclusion
32. Finally, the Commission, as part of its continuing effort to
advance digital equity for all, including people of color, persons with
disabilities, persons who live in rural or tribal areas, and others who
are or have been historically underserved, marginalized, or adversely
affected by persistent poverty or inequality, invites comment on any
equity-related considerations and benefits (if any) that may be
associated with the proposals and issues discussed herein.
Specifically, we seek comment on how our proposals may promote or
inhibit advances in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, as
well the scope of the Commission's relevant legal authority. We note
that diversity and equity considerations, however, do not allow the
Commission to shift fees from one party of fee payors to another nor to
raise fees for any purpose other than as an offsetting collection in
the amount of our annual S&E appropriation.
IV. Procedural Matters
33. 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.
34. 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, Automates Clearing House (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 2022 regulatory fee collection in Fact
Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
35. Payment Methods. 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, an FCC 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 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://transition.fcc.gov/fees/wiretran.html.
36. 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, 2021 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, 2021.
Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must
be paid
[[Page 38593]]
for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 2021. In
instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after
October 1, 2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of
the permit or license as of the fee due date. Audio bridging service
providers are included in this category. For Responsible Organizations
(RespOrgs) that manage Toll Free Numbers (TFN), regulatory fees should
be paid on all working, assigned, and reserved toll free numbers as
well as toll free numbers in any other status as defined in Sec.
52.103 of the Commission's rules. The unit count should be based on
toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2021.
Wireless Services: Commercial Mobile Radio Service (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, 2021. The
number of subscribers, units, or telephone numbers on December 31, 2021
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, 2021, 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
five-year or ten-year terms of their initial licenses, and pay
regulatory fees again only when the license is renewed, or a new
license is obtained. We include these fee categories in our rulemaking
to publicize our estimates of the number of ``small multi-year
wireless'' licenses that will be renewed or newly obtained in FY 2022.
Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) Services
(cable television operators, Cable Television Relay Service (CARS)
licensees, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), and internet Protocol TV
(IPTV)): Regulatory fees must be paid for the number of basic cable
television subscribers as of December 31, 2021. Regulatory fees also
must be paid for CARS licenses that were granted on or before October
1, 2021. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or
assigned after October 1, 2021, 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, 2021. In
instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after
October 1, 2021, 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
earth stations that were licensed (or authorized) on or before October
1, 2021. Regulatory fees must also be paid for Geostationary orbit
space stations (GSO) and non-geostationary orbit satellite systems
(NGSO), and the two NGSO subcategories ``Other'' and ``Less Complex,''
that were licensed and operational on or before October 1, 2021.
Licensees of small satellites that were licensed and operational on or
before October 1, 2021 must also pay regulatory fees. In instances
where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1,
2021, 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, 2021. Regulatory fees for
terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or
leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2021, 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, 2021. 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,
2021, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or
license as of the fee due date.
37. 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) along with the
carrier's Operating Company Numbers (OCNs).
38. 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.
39. 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, 2021),
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 2022 Regulatory Fee'' constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class
of service. The actual FY 2022 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 3.
[[Page 38596]]
\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, 69 FR 72020 (Dec. 10, 2004), and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 69 FR 72048 (Dec. 10, 2004), 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, 73 FR 50201(Aug. 26, 2008), and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 73 FR 50285 (Aug. 26, 2008), 24 FCC Rcd 6388 (2008) and Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year
2008, Second Report and Order, 74 FR 36948 (July 27, 2009), 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.
Regulatory fees for the categories shaded in gray are collected by
the Commission in advance to cover the term of the license and are
submitted at the time the application is filed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2022, we
adjusted FY 2021 payment units for each service to more accurately
reflect expected FY 2022 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, where 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 2022 estimates with actual FY 2021
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 2022 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 2022 payment units are based on FY 2021
actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2022
projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2021. We have either
rounded the FY 2022 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these
variables.

Factors, Measurements, and Calculations That Determine Station Signal
Contours and Associated Population Coverages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
AM Stations:
For stations with nondirectional daytime antennas, the theoretical
radiation was used at all azimuths. For stations with directional
daytime antennas, specific information on each day tower, including
field ratio, phase, spacing, and orientation was retrieved, as well
as the theoretical pattern root-mean-square of the radiation in all
directions in the horizontal plane (RMS) figure (milliVolt per
meter (mV/m) @1 km) for the antenna system. The standard, or
augmented standard if pertinent, horizontal plane radiation pattern
was calculated using techniques and methods specified in Sec. Sec.
73.150 and 73.152 of the Commission's rules. Radiation values
were calculated for each of 360 radials around the transmitter
site. Next, estimated soil conductivity data was retrieved from a
database representing the information in FCC Figure R3. Using the
calculated horizontal radiation values, and the retrieved soil
conductivity data, the distance to the principal community (5 mV/m)
contour was predicted for each of the 360 radials. The resulting
distance to principal community contours were used to form a
geographical polygon. Population counting was accomplished by
determining which 2010 block centroids were contained in the
polygon. (A block centroid is the center point of a small area
containing population as computed by the U.S. Census Bureau.) The
sum of the population figures for all enclosed blocks represents
the total population for the predicted principal community coverage
area.
FM Stations:
The greater of the horizontal or vertical effective radiated power
(ERP) (kW) and respective height above average terrain (HAAT) (m)
combination was used. Where the antenna height above mean sea level
(HAMSL) was available, it was used in lieu of the average HAAT
figure to calculate specific HAAT figures for each of 360 radials
under study. Any available directional pattern information was
applied as well, to produce a radial-specific ERP figure. The HAAT
and ERP figures were used in conjunction with the Field Strength
(50-50) propagation curves specified in 47 CFR 73.313 of the
Commission's rules to predict the distance to the principal
community (70 dBu (decibel above 1 microVolt per meter) or 3.17 mV/
m) contour for each of the 360 radials. The resulting distance to
principal community contours were used to form a geographical
polygon. Population counting was accomplished by determining which
2010 block centroids were contained in the polygon. The sum of the
population figures for all enclosed blocks represents the total
population for the predicted principal community coverage area.

VI. 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 NPRM.
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 the NPRM. The Commission will send a copy of the NPRM,
including the IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration (SBA). In addition, the NPRM and IRFA (or
summaries thereof) will be published in the Federal Register.
A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Proposed Rules
2. The Commission is required by Congress to assess regulatory fees
each year in an amount that can reasonably be expected to equal the
amount of its annual appropriation. For fiscal year (FY) 2022, the
Commission must recover $381,950,000, as set forth in the FY 2022
Appropriations Act. The objective of the NPRM is to propose the
regulatory fees to be paid by the regulatory fee payors in the
Commission's core bureaus (Media Bureau, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau, Wireline Competition Bureau, and International Bureau) by the
end of the fiscal year for FY 2022 equal to the full amount of the
annual appropriation, and to seek comment on the proposed fees.
Accordingly, in the NPRM, we seek comment on the Commission's historic
methodology for calculating regulatory fees as required by section 9 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act), and on
the schedule of FY 2022 regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 and 3
of the NPRM. We also seek comment on several other issues related to
the collection of regulatory fees: (i) continuing to use our
methodology for calculating television broadcaster regulatory fees
based on population by station contour; (ii) the proposed regulatory
fee rates for the categories of small satellite, ``NGSO--less
complex,'' and ``NGSO--Other'' space stations; (iii) calculating the
costs of collection of regulatory fees in establishing the annual de
minimis threshold; and (iv) how our proposals may promote or inhibit
advances in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
B. Legal Basis
3. This action, including publication of proposed rules, is
authorized under sections (4)(i) and (j), 159, 159A, 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
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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
[[Page 38628]]
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.''
8. Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The U.S. Census Bureau
defines this industry as establishments primarily engaged in operating
and/or providing access to transmission facilities and infrastructure
that they own and/or lease for the transmission of voice, data, text,
sound, and video using wired communications networks. Transmission
facilities may be based on a single technology or a combination of
technologies. Establishments in this industry use the wired
telecommunications network facilities that they operate to provide a
variety of services, such as wired telephony services, including VoIP
services, wired (cable) audio and video programming distribution, and
wired broadband internet services. By exception, establishments
providing satellite television distribution services using facilities
and infrastructure that they operate are included in this industry.
Wired Telecommunications Carriers are also referred to as wireline
carriers or fixed local service providers.
9. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that there
were 3,054 firms that operated in this industry for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 5,183 providers
that reported they were engaged in the provision of fixed local
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 4,737
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
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. Providers of these services
include both incumbent and competitive local exchange service
providers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the closest industry
with a SBA small business size standard. Wired Telecommunications
Carriers are also referred to as wireline carriers or fixed local
service providers. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that there
were 3,054 firms that operated in this industry for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 5,183 providers
that reported they were fixed local exchange service providers. Of
these providers, the Commission estimates that 4,737 providers have
1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's small business
size standard, most of these providers can be considered small
entities.
11. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (Incumbent LECs). Neither the
Commission nor the SBA have developed a small business size standard
specifically for incumbent local exchange carriers. Wired
Telecommunications Carriers is the closest industry with an SBA small
business size standard. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that there
were 3,054 firms in this industry that operated for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 1,227 providers
that reported they were incumbent local exchange service providers. Of
these providers, the Commission estimates that 929 providers have 1,500
or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's small business size
standard, the Commission estimates that the majority of incumbent local
exchange carriers can be considered small entities.
12. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Neither the
Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small
businesses specifically applicable to local exchange services.
Providers of these services include several types of competitive local
exchange service providers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the
closest industry with an SBA small business size standard. The SBA
small business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers
classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer employees as small. U.S. Census
Bureau data for 2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms that operated in
this industry for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated
with fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on Commission data
in the 2021 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31,
2020, there were 3,956 providers that reported they were competitive
local exchange service providers. Of these providers, the Commission
estimates that 3,808 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, most of
these providers can be considered small entities.
13. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs). Neither the Commission nor the
SBA have developed a small business size standard specifically for
Interexchange Carriers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the
closest industry with an SBA small business size standard. The SBA
small business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers
classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer employees as small. U.S. Census
Bureau data for 2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms that operated in
this industry for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated
with fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on Commission data
in the 2021 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31,
2020, there were 151 providers that reported they were engaged in the
provision of interexchange services. Of these providers, the Commission
estimates that 131 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, the
Commission estimates that the majority of providers in this industry
can be considered 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. Telecommunications Resellers is the
closest industry with an SBA small business size standard. 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.
[[Page 38629]]
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 small
business size standard for Telecommunications Resellers classifies a
business as small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census
Bureau data for 2017 shows that 1,386 firms in this industry provided
resale services for the entire year. Of that number, 1,375 firms
operated with fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on
Commission data in the 2021 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of
December 31, 2020, there were 58 providers that reported they were
engaged in the provision of payphone services. Of these providers, the
Commission estimates that 57 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, most of
these providers can be considered small entities.
15. Local Resellers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard specifically for Local
Resellers. Telecommunications Resellers is the closest industry with an
SBA small business size standard. 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. The SBA small business size standard for
Telecommunications Resellers classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that
1,386 firms in this industry provided resale services for the entire
year. Of that number, 1,375 firms operated with fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 293
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of local
resale services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 289
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
16. Toll Resellers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard specifically for Toll
Resellers. Telecommunications Resellers is the closest industry with an
SBA small business size standard. 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. The SBA small business size standard for
Telecommunications Resellers classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that
1,386 firms in this industry provided resale services for the entire
year. Of that number, 1,375 firms operated with fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 518
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of toll
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 495
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
17. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has
developed a definition for small businesses specifically applicable to
Other Toll Carriers. This category includes toll carriers that do not
fall within the categories of interexchange carriers, operator service
providers, prepaid calling card providers, satellite service carriers,
or toll resellers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the closest
industry with an SBA small business size standard. The SBA small
business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers classifies
firms having 1,500 or fewer employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data
for 2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms in this industry that
operated for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated with
fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the
2021 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020,
there were 115 providers that reported they were engaged in the
provision of other toll services. Of these providers, the Commission
estimates that 113 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, most of
these providers can be considered 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
SBA size standard for this industry classifies a business as small if
it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows
that there were 2,893 firms in this industry that operated for the
entire year. Of that number, 2,837 firms employed fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2021 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2020, there were 797
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of wireless
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 715
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
19. Television Broadcasting. This industry is comprised of
``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 small business size standard
for this industry classifies businesses having $41.5 million or less in
annual receipts as small. The 2017 U.S. Census Bureau data indicates
that 744 firms in this industry operated for the entire year. Of that
number, 657 firms had revenue of less than $25,000,000. Based on this
data we estimate that the majority of television broadcasters are small
entities under the SBA small business size standard.
20. The Commission estimates that as of September 2021, there were
1,374 licensed commercial television stations, 384 licensed
noncommercial educational (NCE) television stations,
[[Page 38630]]
2,276 low power television stations, including Class A stations (LPTV)
and 3,106 TV translator stations. The Commission however does not
compile, and otherwise does not have access to financial information
for these television broadcast stations that would permit it to
determine how many of these stations qualify as small entities under
the SBA small business size standard. Nevertheless, given the SBA's
large annual receipts threshold for this industry and the nature of
television station licensees, we presume that all of these entities
qualify as small entities under the above SBA small business size
standard.
21. Radio Stations. This industry is comprised of ``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 small business
size standard for this industry classifies firms having $41.5 million
or less in annual receipts as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017
shows that 2,963 firms operated in this industry during that year. Of
this number, 1,879 firms operated with revenue of less than $25 million
per year. Based on this data and the SBA's small business size
standard, we estimate a majority of such entities are small entities.
22. The Commission estimates that as of September 2021, there were
4,519 licensed commercial AM radio stations, 6,682 licensed commercial
FM radio stations and 4,211 licensed noncommercial (NCE) FM radio
stations. The Commission however does not compile, and otherwise does
not have access to financial information for these radio stations that
would permit it to determine how many of these stations qualify as
small entities under the SBA small business size standard.
Nevertheless, given the SBA's large annual receipts threshold for this
industry and the nature of radio station licensees, we presume that all
of these entities qualify as small entities under the above SBA small
business size standard.
23. Cable Companies and Systems (Rate Regulation). The Commission
has developed its own small business size standard 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. Based
on available data, as of December 2020, there were approximately
45,308,192 basic cable video subscribers in the top Cable multiple
system operators (MSOs) in the United States. Only five cable operators
serving cable video subscribers in the top Cable MSOs had more than
400,000 subscribers. Accordingly, the Commission estimates that the
majority of cable operators are small.
24. Cable System Operators (Telecom Act Standard). The
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, contains a size standard for
small cable system operators, which classifies ``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 small. As of December 2020,
there were approximately 45,308,192 basic cable video subscribers in
the top Cable MSOs in the United States. Accordingly, an operator
serving fewer than 453,082 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, all but five of the cable operators in the Top Cable
MSOs have less than 453,082 subscribers and can be considered small
entities under this size standard. We note however, 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.
25. 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 the Wired
Telecommunications Carriers industry which 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 voice over internet protocol (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.
26. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 3,054
firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of this number,
2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees. Based on this data,
the majority of firms in this industry can be considered small under
the SBA small business size standard. According to Commission data
however, only two entities provide DBS service--DIRECTV (owned by AT&T)
and DISH Network, which require a great deal of capital for operation.
DIRECTV and DISH Network both exceed the SBA size standard for
classification as a small business. Therefore, we must conclude based
on internally developed Commission data, in general DBS service is
provided only by large firms.
27. Satellite Telecommunications. This industry comprises firms
``primarily engaged in providing telecommunications services to other
establishments in the telecommunications and broadcasting industries by
forwarding and receiving communications signals via a system of
satellites or reselling satellite telecommunications.'' Satellite
telecommunications service providers include satellite and earth
station operators. The SBA small business size standard for this
industry classifies a business with $35 million or less in annual
receipts as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 275
firms in this industry operated for the entire year. Of this number,
242 firms had revenue of less than $25 million. Additionally, based on
Commission data in the 2021 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of
December 31, 2020, there were 71 providers that reported they were
engaged in the provision of satellite telecommunications services. Of
these providers, the Commission estimates that approximately 48
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, a little more than of these providers can
be considered small entities.
28. All Other Telecommunications. This industry 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
[[Page 38631]]
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. Providers of
internet services (e.g. dial-up internet service providers (ISPs)) or
VoIP services, via client-supplied telecommunications connections are
also included in this industry. The SBA small business size standard
for this industry classifies firms with annual receipts of $35 million
or less as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that there
were 1,079 firms in this industry that operated for the entire year. Of
those firms, 1,039 had revenue of less than $25 million. Based on this
data, the Commission estimates that the majority of ``All Other
Telecommunications'' firms can be considered small.
29. RespOrgs. Responsible Organizations, or RespOrgs (also referred
to as Toll-Free Number (TFN) providers), 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.
Based on information on the website of SOMOS, the entity that maintains
a registry of Toll-Free Number providers (SMS/800 TFN Registry) for the
more than 42 million Toll-Free numbers in North America, and the TSS
Registry, a centralized registry for the use of Toll-Free Numbers in
text messaging and multimedia services, there were approximately 446
registered RespOrgs/Toll-Free Number providers in July 2021. RespOrgs
are often wireline carriers, however they can be include non-carrier
entities. Accordingly, the description below for RespOrgs include both
Carrier RespOrgs and Non-Carrier RespOrgs.
30. Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard for Carrier RespOrgs. Wired
Telecommunications Carriers, and Wireless Telecommunications Carriers
(except Satellite) are the closest industries with an SBA small
business size applicable to Carrier RespOrgs.
31. Wired Telecommunications Carriers are 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 small business size standard for this industry
classifies a business as small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S.
Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms that
operated for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated with
fewer than 250 employees. Based on that data, we conclude that the
majority of Carrier RespOrgs that operated with wireline-based
technology are small.
32. Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) engage
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 SBA small business size
standard for this industry classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. For this industry, U.S. Census Bureau data
for 2017 shows that there were 2,893 firms that operated for the entire
year. Of this number, 2,837 firms employed fewer than 250 employees.
Based on this data, we conclude that the majority of Carrier RespOrgs
that operated with wireless-based technology are small.
33. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission, nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Other
Services Related to Advertising and Other Management Consulting
Services'' are the closest industries with an SBA small business size
applicable to Non-Carrier RespOrgs.
34. The Other Services Related to Advertising industry contains
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 small business size standard for this industry classifies a
business as small that has annual receipts of $16.5 million or less.
U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 5,650 firms operated in
this industry for the entire year. Of that number, 3,693 firms operated
with revenue of less than $10 million. Based on this data, we conclude
that a majority of non-carrier RespOrgs who provide TFN-related
management consulting services are small.
35. The Other Management Consulting Services industry contains
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 small business size standard for
this industry classifies a business as small if it has annual receipts
of $16.5 million or less. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that
4,696 firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of that
number, 3,700 firms had revenue of less than $10 million. Based on this
data, we conclude that a majority of non-carrier RespOrgs who provide
TFN-related management consulting services are small.
D. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other
Compliance Requirements for Small Entities
36. The NPRM does not propose any changes to the Commission's
current information collection, reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance
requirements for small entities. Regulatory fee payors, including small
entities, will be required to pay the regulatory fees after such fees
are adopted.
E. 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 Commission has taken steps to minimize the economic impact
on
[[Page 38632]]
small entities by adopting a de minimis threshold under the section
9(e)(2) exemption in the Communications Act. Section 9(e)(2) of the
Communications Act permits the Commission to exempt a party from paying
regulatory fees if ``in the judgment of the Commission, the cost of
collecting a regulatory fee established under this section from a party
would exceed the amount collected from such party . . . .'' The
threshold applies only to filers of annual regulatory fees, not
regulatory fees paid through multi-year filings. Currently, the de
minimis threshold for annual regulatory fee payors is $1,000 or less
for the fiscal year. In the NPRM, the Commission seeks comment on the
feasibility of raising the de minimis threshold.
F. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the
Proposed Rules
39. None.
VII. Ordering Clauses
40. Accordingly, it is ordered that, pursuant to sections 47 U.S.C.
4(i), 4(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 NPRM is
hereby adopted.
