Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2023

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission 
(Commission) revises its Schedule of Regulatory Fees to recover 
$390,192,000 that Congress has required the Commission to collect for 
its fiscal year (FY) 2023. Sections 9 and 9A of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended (Act or Communications Act), provides for the 
annual assessment and collection of regulatory fees by the Commission.

DATES: Effective September 15, 2023, except for 47 CFR 1.1166, which is 
effective October 16, 2023, and 47 CFR 1.1914, which is delayed 
indefinitely. The Commission will publish a document in the Federal 
Register announcing the effective date for 47 CFR 1.1914 after review 
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act. To avoid penalties and interest, regulatory 
fees should be paid by the due date of September 20, 2023.

Synopsis

I. Administrative Matters

A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    1. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 substantively 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). The non-substantive modifications to an information 
collection related to 47 CFR 1.1166 effected in this document were 
approved by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, on August 17, 2023.

C. Congressional Review Act

    3. 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 to Congress and the Government Accountability Office 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

II. Introduction

    4. In this item, the Commission takes action to address 
longstanding concerns to better ensure that our assessment and 
collection of our annual regulatory fees is more closely aligned with 
the burden of the work being performed by Commission employees for each 
regulatory fee category. Specifically, we adopt the proposals in our 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Regulatory Fee Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FY 
2023 NPRM) (88 FR 36154, June 1, 2023) and reallocate almost nineteen 
percent of our indirect full time equivalents (FTEs) as direct to one 
of the Commission's four core licensing bureaus, following a high-
level, comprehensive staff analysis of the time utilized in the 
oversight and regulation of certain segments of the telecommunications 
industry. Our decisions in this Report and Order reflect our conclusion 
that we can determine, with reasonable accuracy for this fiscal year, 
that certain FTEs from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of 
Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security 
Bureau that were previously considered to be indirect are devoted to 
work that is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of 
regulatory fee payors in a core bureau such that the FTE burden of that 
work should be allocated as direct to that bureau for regulatory fee 
purposes. Consistent with our long-standing regulatory fee methodology, 
we implement these reallocations and we adopt a schedule of regulatory 
fees, as set forth in Appendices B and C, in order to collect 
$390,192,000 in congressionally required regulatory fees for FY 2023 by 
the end of September.
    5. Additionally, in the Report and Order, we (i) adopt our proposal 
regarding the calculation of television and radio broadcaster 
regulatory fees, including the modification of the existing grid by 
adding a new tier for AM and FM radio stations; (ii) continue to 
consider operations for on-orbit servicing (OOS) and rendezvous and 
proximity operations (RPO) on a mission-by-mission basis for regulatory 
fee purposes, and apply the regulatory fee for ``Space Stations 
(Geostationary Orbit)'' to OOS and RPO spacecraft operating near the 
geostationary orbit (GSO) arc, unless it is determined that the OOS or 
RPO spacecraft is operating as part of an existing GSO system and 
therefore should not be assessed a separate regulatory fee; (iii) 
confirm that orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) are responsible for 
regulatory fees under the current regulatory fee scheme; (iv) continue 
two of the temporary measures that were implemented in FYs 2020 through 
2022 to assist regulatory fee payors that were experiencing financial 
hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic to request waiver, reduction, 
deferral and/or installment payment of regulatory fees, and continue a 
third such measure in modified form; (v) decline to permit regulatory 
fee payors to prepay their regulatory fees in installments before the 
annual regulatory fee payment deadline; and (vi) make certain technical 
corrections to 47 CFR 1.1914 and 1.1166.

A. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees and FTE Allocation

    6. Consistent with our statutory mandate and our regulatory fee 
methodology, we start our regulatory fee assessment with the FTE counts 
and then adjust fees to reflect other factors related to the benefits 
provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities. In 
section 9 of the Act Congress prescribes that regulatory fee payors 
bear the FTE burden associated with their oversight and regulation by 
the relevant core bureau(s). Insofar as the non-auctions FTE time in 
the four core bureaus continues to focus on the oversight and 
regulation of fee payors in the industry segment regulated by each of 
those bureaus, we will continue to apportion regulatory fees across fee 
categories based on the number of non-auction direct FTEs in each core 
bureau and take into account factors that are ``reasonably related to 
the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the

[[Page 63695]]

Commission's activities.'' After we determine the number of direct FTEs 
for each core bureau, we use these numbers to start our calculations of 
the percentage of the total amount of regulatory fees to be collected 
for a given fiscal year from each fee category.
    7. We then allocate appropriated amounts to be recovered 
proportionally based on the number of direct FTEs within each core 
bureau. Those proportions are then subdivided within each core bureau 
into fee categories among the regulatory fee payors served by the core 
bureau. Finally, within each regulatory fee category, we divide the 
amount to be collected by a unit that allocates the regulatee's 
proportionate share based on an objective measure. As a general matter, 
there is no additional calculation to attribute indirect costs. 
Instead, the proportional allocation of the whole S&E appropriation 
based on the number of direct FTEs effectively attributes all indirect 
costs among the core bureaus so that the Commission can recover its 
entire appropriation each year.
    8. As the Commission has explained, ``[g]iven the Act's requirement 
that fees must `reflect' FTEs before adjusting fees to take into 
account other factors, we find FTE counts by far the most administrable 
starting point for regulatory fee allocations.'' Regulatory fees must 
cover the entire S&E appropriation, even those portions of the 
appropriation that supports work on issues for which we do not have 
regulatory fee categories. Therefore, we continue to find that, 
consistent with section 9 of the Act, regulatory fees are not based on 
a precise allocation of specific employees with certain work 
assignments each year and instead are based on a higher-level approach. 
While some commenters continue to take issue with some of the 
Commission's determinations of whether certain FTEs should be 
considered to be indirect or direct and also advocate that the 
Commission should adopt new fee categories, no commenter has offered an 
alternative methodology for the Commission to recover our annual 
appropriation. Instead, we agree with commenters that argue that the 
record supports the adoption of regulatory fees consistent with the 
Commission's long standing regulatory fee framework. Accordingly, we 
find no basis to adjust our general methodology for assessing 
regulatory fees. We find that the Commission's general methodology for 
establishing regulatory fees has been, and continues to be, appropriate 
and consistent with section 9 of the Act. Thus, for FY 2023, our fee 
methodology will attribute the direct FTEs within each core bureau to 
payor categories based on the nature of the FTE work. We also will 
consider the ministerial adjustments necessitated by the more 
discernable changes from the prior year regulatory fee proceeding, 
e.g., changes in the: (i) FY appropriation, (ii) FTE levels, and (iii) 
relevant unit measures for each regulatory fee category. Once the 
percentages of total direct FTEs in the core bureaus are determined, 
the Commission calculates fee rates among the specific fee categories 
within each core bureau based upon the fee categories' proportional fee 
amounts to be collected. These proportional calculations allocate all 
Commission non-auction related costs across all fee categories that 
total the target goal amount.
    9. For FY 2023, our Human Resources Management office has provided 
the Commission data identifying 339.25 non-auctions, direct FTEs 
distributed among the core bureaus. In consultation with the bureaus 
and offices, we have validated this data. In the FY 2023 NPRM, 
following a high level, yet comprehensive, staff analysis of indirect 
FTE time in non-core bureaus and offices, we proposed to reallocate 63 
indirect FTEs from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of 
Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security 
Bureau where we were able to determine with reasonable accuracy for the 
fiscal year that the FTE burden of such work is directly related to the 
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors in a core bureau such 
that it should be considered as direct to that bureau for the purposes 
of calculating regulatory fees. As explained fully below, with the 
overwhelming support of commenters, we adopt our proposal for these 
reallocations. In addition, in order to apply consistent principles to 
our determinations, and in response to the record gathered in this 
proceeding, we also reallocate two direct FTEs from the Media Bureau to 
be considered as indirect FTEs because the nature of their work is 
sufficiently linked to work that is similar to that of work performed 
in the Enforcement Bureau, which is categorized as indirect. Our 
adoption of these reallocations results in a revised total of 400.25 
non-auctions, direct FTEs for FY 2023. Our calculations of direct FTEs 
associated with each core bureau are now as follows: International 
Bureau (31), Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (98), Wireline 
Competition Bureau (143.25), and Media Bureau (128).
    10. Based on these reallocations and after we make adjustments to 
these direct FTE counts to implement Commission precedent regarding 
FTEs working on non-high cost Universal Service Fund matters, we will 
collect approximately $30.32 million (7.77%) in fees from the 
International Bureau regulatory fee payors; $95.83 million (24.56%) in 
fees from the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatory fee payors; 
$140.12 million (35.91%) in fees from Wireline Competition Bureau 
regulatory fee payors; and $123.92 million (31.76%) in fees from Media 
Bureau regulatory fee payors.
    11. The record supports our proposal to reallocate certain indirect 
FTEs from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Economics and 
Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct 
to a core bureau because we can determine with reasonable accuracy for 
the fiscal year that these FTEs are devoted to work that is 
sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee 
payors in a core bureau such that the burden of that work should be 
allocated as direct for regulatory fee purposes. Commenters addressing 
this issue agree that by taking a more granular approach, the 
Commission's fee structure more closely aligns the recovery of costs 
with those who benefit from Commission regulatory activities. 
Commenters support our proposal to reallocate a total of 63 indirect 
FTEs as direct for regulatory fee purposes. They contend that doing so 
will advance the Communications Act objective for the Commission to 
take into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits 
provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.
    12. We conclude that, as part of our annual FTE analysis, we will 
continue to evaluate whether any FTEs should be reallocated for 
regulatory fee purposes as we do each year when reviewing and 
validating the FTE data. And, where our evaluation merits inclusion of 
proposed reallocations, we will seek comment on any such potential 
reallocation of FTEs in an annual proceeding. We note, however, that we 
will exercise our discretion regarding where to focus our analytical 
efforts each year to best respond to changes in the FCC's substantive 
work, changes in the FCC's organization, and changes in the 
telecommunications industry itself. We further conclude that such 
agency discretion is particularly important because we agree with CTIA 
that we do not wish to inadvertently expand our indirect FTE levels by 
engaging in an endless review of all FTE allocations. As such, we will 
exercise our discretion to ensure that we conduct our annual review in 
a manner that is fair, manageable, and sustainable.

[[Page 63696]]

    13. We emphasize that our decision to adopt our proposal today is 
in accord with past Commission precedent. Thus, it is not uncommon for 
the Commission to reassign direct FTEs as indirect or from one core 
bureau to another for regulatory fee purposes to reflect, among other 
things, changes in the FCC's substantive work, changes in the FCC's 
organization, and changes in the telecommunications industry.
    14. As we described in the FY 2023 NPRM, we limit our reallocation 
of indirect FTEs as direct FTEs to a core bureau for regulatory fee 
purposes to those instances where we can determine with reasonable 
accuracy for the entire fiscal year that such FTE work furthers the 
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors. We recognize that 
this reclassification represents a change from some recent reviews of 
the same offices. Nevertheless, at this time our evaluation of FTE time 
in the non-core bureaus and offices supports our conclusion that, for 
certain FTEs in the Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of 
General Counsel, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, it 
is appropriate to consider the FTE burden of their work as directly 
devoted to the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors. For 
that reason, we are adopting our proposal that such FTE time should be 
considered direct for those relevant core bureau(s).
    15. For the purposes of this determination, we have evaluated 
whether measurable FTE time for FY 2023 is primarily being spent on the 
regulation and oversight of regulatory fee payors. Commission staff 
excluded any FTE time from this analysis if it was not equivalent to 
the time of at least one FTE, concluding that less than a full-time FTE 
demonstrates that the work being done is appropriately considered to be 
indirect and should not be reassigned. Table 1 below summarizes all of 
the reallocations we are adopting today.

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

    16. We conclude that 63 FTEs from the Office of Economics and 
Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and the Public Safety and 
Homeland Security Bureau devote their time to the oversight and 
regulation of regulatory fee payors, where we can determine with 
reasonable accuracy for the entire fiscal year, as we discuss below. 
For that reason, we reallocate the FTE time as direct to the relevant 
core bureau(s) for calculating regulatory fees. Likewise, to apply 
consistent principles across our determinations, we reallocate two 
direct FTEs from the Media Bureau as indirect FTEs because the nature 
of their work is sufficiently linked to work that is similar to that 
performed in the Enforcement Bureau, which has been categorized as 
indirect. Below, we discuss our analysis.
    17. Office of Economics and Analytics (OEA). We adopt our proposal 
to reallocate 30 indirect FTEs from OEA as direct to a core bureau for 
regulatory fee purposes as follows: two to the International Bureau, 
eight to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 13 to the Wireline 
Competition Bureau, and seven to the Media Bureau. We reach this 
conclusion after evaluating the burden of FTE time in OEA.
    18. Following its inception in 2018, the Commission concluded that 
it was appropriate for the non-auctions FTEs in OEA to be considered 
indirect FTEs because their work benefits the entire Commission as well 
as the telecommunications industry and does not specifically focus on 
regulatory fee payors. As a general matter, this remains true today. Of 
relevance to the regulatory fee proceeding, OEA's non-auction funded 
work provides economic analysis, including cost-benefit analysis, for 
rulemakings, transactions, adjudications, and other Commission actions; 
develops policies and strategies to help manage Commission data 
resources and establish best practices for data use throughout the 
Commission in coordination with other bureaus and offices; and conducts 
long-term research on ways to improve the Commission's policies and 
processes in each of these areas. Notably, OEA collaborates with and 
advises other bureaus and offices in the areas of economic and data 
analysis and with respect to the analysis of benefits, costs, and 
regulatory impacts of Commission policies, rules, and proposals. As 
part of this collaboration, OEA reviews all rulemakings prepared by 
those bureaus and offices, all other Commission-level items that 
contain economic or data analysis, and similar items that the bureaus 
or offices release on delegated authority.
    19. In evaluating the burden of the work currently being performed 
by OEA's FTEs, staff recognized that certain bureaus tend to generate 
more economic and data issues for OEA to analyze as well as more 
documents that require OEA review. For FY 2023, we find that there is 
measurable work done by OEA FTEs that is being done directly in 
furtherance of the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors in 
certain industry segments. In fact, staff analysis reveals that the 
work and expertise of certain FTEs from OEA remain devoted to the 
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors in a manner that is 
consistent with the FTE burden of work performed within a core bureau 
prior to the OEA's implementation. This determination supports our 
decision to reallocate the burden of the work of certain of OEA's FTEs 
as direct for regulatory fee purposes. We recognize that this is a 
partial change from our determination in the 2019 regulatory fee 
proceeding with respect to OEA FTEs. We have explained however, that 
our determinations are based an analysis of the actual work of the OEA.

[[Page 63697]]

    20. We conclude that 13 indirect FTEs from OEA should be 
reallocated as direct FTEs to the Wireline Competition Bureau because 
the burden of their work is devoted to universal service fund issues in 
high-cost areas; competition and interconnection; setting rates for 
calls from incarcerated persons; the establishment of a national 
suicide hotline, and efforts to evaluate the costs, benefits, and 
public interest factors associated with protecting privacy matters such 
as the Wireline Competition Bureau's work on customer proprietary 
network information (CPNI) rules addressing access, use, and disclosure 
of information related to the use of a telecommunications service 
subscribed to by a customer of a telecommunications carrier. This FTE 
work is being done directly in furtherance of the oversight and 
regulation of Wireline Competition Bureau regulatory fee payors, 
therefore, we find that it appropriate to reallocate it as direct to 
the Wireline Competition Bureau for purposes of our regulatory fee 
calculation.
    21. Similarly, staff analysis shows that the work of eight OEA FTEs 
address various wireless and spectrum issues, such as mergers, 
transactions, and acquisitions, mobile spectrum holdings policies, and 
deployment in rural areas and on tribal lands. Insofar as the burden of 
this work is being done directly in furtherance of the oversight and 
regulation of Wireless Telecommunications Bureau regulatory fee payors, 
we adopt our proposal to reallocate these eight indirect FTEs as direct 
FTEs to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, for purposes of our 
regulatory fee calculation.
    22. Further, we find that because the burden of the work of seven 
FTEs from OEA relates to broadcast and cable issues, including 
ownership regulation, next generation (or NextGen TV) standards, 
content source disclosures, program carriage and retransmission, and 
rates and billing practices, and is being done directly in furtherance 
of the oversight and regulation of Media Bureau regulatory fee payors, 
it is appropriate to reallocate these FTEs as direct to the Media 
Bureau, proportionally among the Media Bureau regulatory fee 
categories, for purposes of our regulatory fee calculation.
    23. Lastly, because the burden of the work of two FTEs from OEA 
addressing undersea cables, international bearer circuits, and 
satellite services related issues is done directly in furtherance of 
the oversight and regulation of International Bureau regulatory fee 
payors, we conclude that it is appropriate to reallocate these two 
indirect FTEs as direct to the International Bureau, proportionally 
among the International Bureau regulatory fee categories.
    24. Office of General Counsel (OGC). Our evaluation of the burden 
of the FTE time in OGC supports the Commission's repeated conclusion 
that the majority of the work this office performs is most 
appropriately categorized as indirect, for regulatory fee purposes. On 
review, however, for FY 2023 we conclude that certain aspects of OGC's 
work are sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of 
individual regulatory fee categories such that five FTEs from OGC 
should be reallocated as direct FTEs to a relevant core bureau for 
regulatory purposes.
    25. OGC serves as the chief legal advisor to the Commission and its 
various bureaus and offices. In that capacity OGC's responsibilities 
are generally described as interpreting new and existing statutes and 
executive orders as they pertain to the Commission's exercise of its 
Communications Act authority and other authorities, as well as 
performing such functions involving implementation of such statutes and 
executive orders as may be assigned to it by the Commission. OGC 
advises the Commission in the preparation and revision of our rules, 
recommends decisions in adjudicatory matters before the Commission, 
assists the Commission in its decision-making capacity and performs a 
variety of legal functions regarding internal and other administrative 
matters. OGC also advises and represents the Commission in matters of 
litigation. These roles are divided between the Administrative Law 
Division and the Litigation Division and are overseen by the General 
Counsel (GC) and the GC's Front Office.
    26. The Litigation Division represents the Commission in a wide 
variety of court cases covering actions that most federal agencies are 
subject to (e.g., personnel, Federal Tort Claims Act, Freedom of 
Information Act, False Claims Act, and contract actions and disputes) 
in addition to challenges regarding the Commission's exercise of our 
Communications Act authority. After careful consideration of the burden 
of FTE work in this division, we do not make any FTE reallocations for 
the Litigation Division. The level of effort to support litigation that 
is unrelated to our Communications Act authority is generally not tied 
to oversight and regulation of any regulatory fee category. Thus, the 
FTE burden of this work remains appropriately considered as indirect. 
The FTE burden associated with litigation that directly touches on our 
Communications Act authority should also remain as indirect. We make 
this determination for a variety of reasons. Primarily, it is not 
possible to determine with any level of consistency year to year 
whether the FTE work in support of litigation matters benefits a 
particular regulatory fee category. This is particularly true because 
the essential issue in dispute when a matter moves to litigation may 
touch on issues of broader concern than any one regulatory fee group, 
or conversely be so procedural as to be effectively generic to all 
federal agency action. Moreover, at its core, the FTE work defending 
the Commission's expert authority in implementing the Communications 
Act is the epitome of work that benefits the agency as a whole and we 
do not believe it would be fair for any one regulatory fee group to 
shoulder the FTE burden of such work.
    27. The Administrative Law Division provides legal advice to the 
Commission concerning a wide array of substantive areas of the law 
necessary to the functioning of any federal agency. In large part, such 
work benefits the work of the Commission as a whole and is not specific 
to any particular regulatory fee category. Thus, the FTE burden 
associated with such work properly remains almost entirely allocated as 
indirect. In contrast to the Litigation Division, however, it is 
possible to determine that some of the burden of the work performed by 
FTEs from the Administrative Law Division, particularly in reviewing 
Commission rules, proposed rules, and adjudicatory orders, as well as 
providing extensive advice on the Commission's authority under the 
Communications Act, including the exercise of delegated authority by 
the bureaus and offices, is done in furtherance of the oversight and 
regulation of regulatory fee payors in the core bureaus. Accordingly, 
where we have determined that this work is directly related to our 
oversight and regulation of specific regulatory fee payor categories, 
we adopt our determination to reallocate the FTE burden of such work as 
direct to the relevant core bureau(s). Specifically, for FY 2023 we 
reallocate one OGC FTE as direct to the Wireline Competition Bureau; 
two OGC FTEs as direct to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau; one 
OGC FTE as direct to the Media Bureau, proportionally among the Media 
Bureau fee categories; and one OGC FTE as direct to the International

[[Page 63698]]

Bureau, proportionally among the International Bureau fee categories.
    28. Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB). We also 
adopt our proposal to reallocate, for regulatory fee purposes, a total 
of 28 indirect FTEs from PSHSB as direct FTEs to core bureaus as 
follows: 13 to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, nine to the 
Wireline Competition Bureau, and six to the Media Bureau.
    29. PSHSB advises and coordinates within the Commission on all 
matters pertaining to public safety, homeland security, national 
security, cybersecurity, emergency management and preparedness, 
disaster management, and related matters. Insofar as the bureau leads 
initiatives that strengthen public safety and emergency response 
capabilities enabling the Commission to assist the public, first 
responders, law enforcement, hospitals, the communications industry and 
all levels of government in times of emergency, we continue to conclude 
that the majority of its work is best categorized as indirect. PSHSB is 
organized into three divisions: the Policy and Licensing Division, the 
Operations and Emergency Management Division, and the Cybersecurity and 
Communications Reliability Division. On review for FY 2023, we conclude 
that certain aspects of the burden of some of the FTE work within these 
divisions is sufficiently linked to the oversight and regulation of 
individual regulatory fee categories such that certain FTEs, as 
described below, should be reallocated as direct FTEs to a relevant 
core bureau for regulatory purposes.
    30. The Policy and Licensing Division develops and administers 
rules, regulations, and policies to support public safety entities, 
including law enforcement, fire and emergency medical first responders, 
Public Safety Answering Points, and emergency operations organizations. 
The division handles licensing of public safety frequencies, including 
modifications, renewals and adjudications, in frequencies below 470 
MHz, and in 470-512 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 4.9 GHz and 5.9 GHz under 
part 90 of the Commission's rules, and the microwave bands under part 
101; 911/Enhanced 911/Next Generation 911; Communications Assistance 
for Law Enforcement Act; the Emergency Alert System (EAS); operability 
and interoperability for public safety communications and the First 
Responder Network Authority; and intra- and interagency coordination on 
spectrum management.
    31. After analyzing the FTE work in the Policy and Licensing 
Division, we conclude that the burden of the work of 14 FTEs in this 
division is directly in furtherance of the oversight and regulation of 
regulatory fee payors of a core bureau such that it is appropriate to 
adopt our proposal to reallocate these FTEs as direct, for regulatory 
fee purposes. Of the 14 FTEs we have identified, we reallocate two FTEs 
as direct to the Wireline Competition Bureau, eight FTEs as direct to 
the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and four FTEs as direct to the 
Media Bureau. Specifically, we adopt these reallocations for regulatory 
fee purposes because the burden of the work performed on 911 policy, 
covering issues such as 911 location accuracy, and the transition to 
Next Generation 911, as well as clarifying provider obligations and 
acting on waiver and other provider-specific requests, directly 
furthers the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors of the 
Wireline Competition Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. 
Similarly, with regard to the four FTEs we proposed to consider as 
direct to the Media Bureau, we adopt these reallocations for regulatory 
fee purposes, proportionally among the fee categories in the Media 
Bureau, because the FTE burden of the work on the EAS, developing and 
maintaining the operational rules that apply to EAS participants (i.e., 
broadcasters), facilitating interactions between EAS participants and 
alert originators, reviewing State EAS Plans, and acting on waiver and 
similar requests from broadcasters directly furthers the oversight and 
regulation of the regulatory payors of the Media Bureau.
    32. The Operations and Emergency Management Division (OEMD) ensures 
the readiness of the Federal Communications Commission to respond to 
threats and emergencies; conducts and coordinates risk and incident 
management activities; and supports public safety and events of 
national security significance. Division staff recommend, develop, and 
implement emergency plans, policies, and preparedness programs covering 
the reporting and situational awareness of communications status during 
times of emergency and Commission functions during emergency 
conditions. OEMD also manages the provision of service by 
communications service providers during emergency conditions.
    33. The division staff provide legal guidance and perform technical 
operations in support of interagency Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and 
Territorial (SLTT) government national security and public safety risk 
and incident management efforts. In addition, the division provides 
situational awareness to FCC and federal government leadership 
regarding national security risks and makes recommendations to help 
manage those risks; manages the FCC Continuity Programs to ensure the 
Commission's ability to perform the functions vital to an enduring 
government and the availability of nationwide and international 
communications under all conditions; and assesses and evaluates the 
status of communications services and infrastructure through Over-The-
Air observations and analysis by its Spectrum Monitoring and Analysis 
Response Team. The division also coordinates with the U.S. Department 
of Homeland Security on critical national security and emergency 
preparedness priority communications programs, such as 
Telecommunication Service Priority Program, Government Emergency 
Telecommunications Service, and Wireless Priority Service. After 
analyzing the FTE work in OEMD, we conclude that the burden of the work 
of five FTEs in this division is directly in furtherance of the 
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors of a core bureau such 
that it should be reallocated for regulatory purposes. Specifically, of 
the five FTEs we have identified from this division there are two FTEs 
that should be reallocated as direct FTEs to the Wireline Competition 
Bureau, two FTEs that should be reallocated as direct FTEs to the 
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and one FTE that should be 
reallocated as a direct FTE to the Media Bureau, proportionally among 
the fee categories in the Media Bureau. OEMD's deployment of personnel 
to disaster areas primarily supports the oversight and regulation of 
the regulatory fee payors of all three of these core bureaus by, among 
other things, receiving and facilitating federal partner responses to 
requests from providers in disaster areas with issues such as obtaining 
access to facility sites and procurement of fuel for generators.
    34. Moreover, with regard to the two FTEs we reallocate as direct 
to the Wireline Competition Bureau and the two FTEs we reallocate as 
direct to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, we adopt these 
changes for regulatory fee purposes because the burden of the work 
performed by these FTEs is directly related to the oversight and 
regulation of wireline and wireless regulatory fee payors. In 
particular, the FTE burden from this division relates to working with 
federal partners on risk assessment and surveying the status of 
providers' service and infrastructure

[[Page 63699]]

following major disasters, emergencies, matters of law enforcement or 
events of a national security as well as facilitating providers' 
restoration by coordinating requests and responses with other federal 
and SLTT entities and private sector companies. In addition, the FTE 
burden of this work in this division involves administering legal 
oversight and review of the Commission's Local Number Portability Act 
(LNPA) activities.
    35. In addition, the work done by one FTE in OEMD directly supports 
the oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors of the Media 
Bureau by conducting site surveys of media broadcast transmitters to 
determine potential issues of radio frequency interference, and by 
deploying personnel to disaster areas to perform spectrum scans before 
and after disasters to ascertain the operational status of broadcast 
stations and assist those that are not operational. Based on this 
analysis, we adopt our proposal to reallocate, for regulatory fee 
purposes, one FTE from OEMD as a direct to Media Bureau, proportionally 
among the fee categories in that bureau.
    36. The Communications and Crisis Management Center (FCC Operations 
Center), which is part of OEMD, maintains a 24/7 staff at FCC 
Headquarters. Its responsibilities include: monitoring the status of 
communications and engaging in real-time with emergency operations 
centers and PSAPs in the event of outages or disasters; resolving 
consumer complaints; supporting the Commission's enforcement 
activities; granting special temporary authority to Commission 
licensees after hours; and maintaining the Commission's primary 
classified environment and the required support systems.
    37. The Operations Center is available 24/7 to field requests from 
all regulatees for assistance and to grant special temporary authority 
outside of normal business hours. Operations Center staff routinely 
field calls regarding consumer complaints of communications outages and 
interference or requests for information on the provision of wireless 
and wireline communications services in specific regions of the Nation. 
In response to these communications, Operations Center staff will 
coordinate solutions across Commission Bureaus and Offices, SLTT 
stakeholder entities, and private sector companies. After staff 
analysis of data regarding the FTE work performed in the Operations 
Center, we find that the burden of the work of three FTEs from the 
Operations Center is performed directly in furtherance of the oversight 
and regulation of regulatory fee payors such that it should be 
reallocated as direct to a core bureau, for regulatory fee purposes. 
Specifically, we reallocate one FTE as a direct to the Wireline 
Competition Bureau, one FTE as direct FTE to Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, and one FTE as direct to the Media Bureau, 
proportionally among the fee categories in that bureau.
    38. The Cybersecurity and Communications Reliability Division helps 
ensure that the nation's communications networks are reliable and 
secure so that the public can communicate, especially during 
emergencies. This division identifies and promotes network improvements 
through analysis and investigation of significant communications 
outages, providing situational awareness of the status of 
communications infrastructure during times of emergency and administers 
the Commission's primary advisory committee on communications security 
and reliability, and rulemakings. Focus areas include emergency 
communications, such as 911 and wireless emergency alerting, network 
performance during disasters, and major network outages and threats. 
This division monitors and analyzes communications network outages to 
identify trends, assess actions the FCC can take to help prevent and 
mitigate outages, and where necessary, assist response and recovery 
activities. Finally, the division supports the security of services 
provided across platforms, in the Commission's Alerting Security 
docket, and Federal Advisory Committee work on 911 standards and 
alerting standards, as well as network and supply chain security.
    39. The Cybersecurity and Communications Reliability Division 
provides oversight and regulation of the regulatory payors by, among 
other things, providing situational awareness of the status of 
communications infrastructure and coordinating requests for assistance 
during times of emergency. After analyzing the burden of the work done 
in this division, we adopt our proposal to reallocate four FTEs from 
this division as direct to the Wireline Competition Bureau because the 
burden of the work being done on wireline network outage reporting, in 
routine and disaster environments, as well as outages and notifications 
impacting the 911 and 988 systems, is directly in furtherance of the 
oversight and regulation of wireline regulatory fee payors We also 
adopt our proposal to reallocate two FTEs from this division as direct 
to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau because the FTE burden of 
this work is being done to administer the Mandatory Disaster Response 
Initiative to ensure providers of commercial mobile services can engage 
in mutual aid activities during times of emergency. The FTE burden in 
this division also includes working with the Federal Advisory Committee 
on standards and best practices related to 5G deployment as well as the 
work performed to develop and implement performance standards and 
regulation of wireless regulatory fee payors.
    40. Conclusion Regarding Allocations. Table 2 below summarizes the 
FTE reallocations adopted here.

B. Non-High Cost Universal Service Fund FTEs

    41. In the FY 2017 Report and Order, the Commission reallocated 38 
direct FTEs from the Wireline Competition Bureau working on the non-
high-cost programs of the Universal Service Fund as indirect for 
regulatory fee purposes. The Commission found that this reallocation 
was supported by the fact that contributions to the Universal Service 
Fund are required from service providers using any technology that has 
end-user interstate telecommunications and because of changes in the 
universal service fund regulatory landscape. The Commission observed 
that although initially universal service programs were focused on 
wireline services, wireless carriers, and broadband providers had since 
become involved in the E-Rate, Lifeline, and Rural Healthcare programs. 
The Commission also noted that the E-Rate, Lifeline, and Rural 
Healthcare programs tie funding eligibility to the beneficiary, i.e., a 
school, a library, a low-income individual or family, or a rural 
healthcare provider, and not to Commission regulatory fee payors. Given 
these considerations, the Commission concluded that the burden of FTE 
time dedicated to non-high cost Universal Service Fund programs should 
be considered indirect because the nature of the work being conducted 
is not focused specifically on the oversight and regulation of fee 
payors of any core bureau. The Universal Service Fund programs are 
administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), 
with oversight from the Commission. Specifically, the Commission 
reasoned that the FTE time devoted to the non-high cost Universal 
Service Fund issues is not oversight and regulation of a category of 
regulatory fee payors, but instead is the oversight of several 
Universal Service Fund programs (administered by USAC) with a wide 
array of beneficiaries and participants. With such a diversity of 
participants, beneficiaries, and contributors, and a wide variety of 
issues addressed by Commission staff (including matters pertaining to 
entities that are not Commission regulatory fee payors), the Commission 
concluded that Interstate Telecommunications Service Providers (ITSPs) 
were no longer the sole contributors or beneficiaries of these 
programs. The Commission further found that it could not determine the 
benefits flowing from Commission oversight of the programs to any one 
fee category, let alone a particular cross-section of fee categories or 
even an entire industry. The Commission explained that as they are not 
traditional telecommunication industry members, attributing the 
benefits of FTE non-high cost work to any one fee category would be 
problematic at best. For all of these reasons, the Commission concluded 
that FTE time spent on non-high cost Universal Service Fund issues 
should be reassigned as indirect.
    42. In the FY 2017 Report and Order, the Commission also observed 
that the concern that the reallocation would impose a burden on 
broadcasters, which do not participate in the universal service program 
was misplaced ``as there is no completely pure way to precisely 
allocate every Commission FTE.'' In support of this decision the 
Commission explained that the Commission's methodology need not reach 
scientific precision and instead must simply be reasonable. 
Subsequently, the Commission addressed NAB's continued objection to 
assessing broadcasters for the costs of these indirect FTEs in the FY 
2022 Report and Order by explaining that the reallocation was 
appropriate and that indirect FTEs in the Commission devote their time 
to a large variety of issues, some of which may not directly affect 
every Commission regulatee, including broadcasters. The Commission 
nonetheless took a closer look at the FTE burden associated with these 
non-high cost Universal Service Fund issues, and determined that 
broadcasters should be excluded from the burden associated with these 
indirect FTEs. Based on this determination, the burden associated with 
these indirect FTEs in FY 2022 was apportioned among all other 
regulatory fee payors.
    43. For FY 2023, we tentatively concluded that the Commission's FY 
2022 reasoning remained sound and the indirect FTE burden associated 
with these non-high cost Universal Service Fund programs should not be 
apportioned to broadcasters. We sought comment on this tentative 
conclusion and asked any commenters asserting that these indirect FTEs 
should be reassigned as direct FTEs to a core bureau to provide an 
explanation of how these FTEs provide a direct benefit to other fee 
payors.
    44. NAB continues to assert that we should reallocate the burden of 
FTE time dedicated to these matters as direct to a core bureau or 
bureaus because providers receive funding and program beneficiaries 
receive subsidies. Specifically, NAB argues that the Commission could 
base this reallocation upon the information the Commission has about 
the fee payors that receive a particular percentage of the Commission's 
non-high cost USF program funds. Likewise, the State Broadcasters 
Association contends that because these programs provide certain 
service providers with significant funding, it should not be difficult 
to determine the direct impact of the FTE burden that benefits specific 
regulatees. We disagree. As CTIA correctly points out, our regulatory 
fees must be based on the work conducted by Commission staff, i.e., the 
Commission's FTE burden, and the amount of USF program funds that a 
regulatory fee payor receives, is not a relevant factor in allocating 
regulatory fees among the core bureaus.
    45. In particular, we agree with CTIA that NAB's argument to 
reallocate FTEs based upon the financial benefit received by any 
particular service provider does not properly demonstrate that the FTE 
burden of this work is devoted to the oversight and regulation of any 
regulatory fee category such that it should be considered to be direct. 
WISPA also supports the Commission's decision to treat the FTE burden 
of this work as indirect, and remarks that

[[Page 63701]]

attributing FTEs as direct on the basis of such work could unfairly 
impact smaller providers, like WISPA's members, and cause an exodus 
from non-high cost USF programs, which would be contrary to the public 
interest. Moreover, the FTE work on these non-high cost Universal 
Service Fund programs covers issues regarding all program participants 
as well as benefits that are derived by the general public. We continue 
to agree with prior Commission determinations that FTE time spent on 
non-high cost Universal Service Fund issues is indirect because we 
cannot reasonably determine the FTE burden of oversight of the programs 
to any one fee payor category, let alone a particular cross-section of 
fee payors or even an entire industry.
    46. As we have stated previously, indirect FTE time is devoted to 
issues that may include more than one regulated service or matters that 
are not related to services regulated by the Commission. Commenters' 
argument is based on their assertion that they do not obtain benefit 
from the universal service programs, but that is not a factor in 
determining whether the FTEs should be allocated as direct to other fee 
payors. Accordingly, we conclude that NAB's suggestion to reallocate 
the burden of the 23.75 FTEs working on non-high cost Universal Service 
Fund matters as direct to a core bureau based upon the percentage of 
subsidies received by any particular category of fee payor category 
conflates the nature of the work of the Commission's FTEs with the 
identity of the entities that ultimately receive support from any 
particular program. Commenters have thus failed to show that these 
indirect FTEs should be reassigned as direct. We therefore affirm prior 
Commission determinations that the burden of FTE time devoted to non-
high cost Universal Service Fund programs is properly categorized as 
indirect, and that such a conclusion is consistent with how FTEs 
working for programs that benefit consumers and the American public are 
treated elsewhere in the Commission.
    47. Additionally, as explained in the FY 2023 NPRM, staff analysis 
of the FTE burden associated with these non-high cost Universal Service 
Fund programs reveals that we need to adjust the number of indirect 
FTEs working on the non-high cost Universal Service Fund programs from 
38 FTEs in FY 2022 downward to 23.75 indirect FTEs for FY 2023, a 
decrease of 14.25 indirect FTEs. As a result of staff's comprehensive 
review of the Commission's indirect bureaus and offices, we conclude 
that the FTE time within the Office of Engineering and Technology, the 
Enforcement Bureau, and the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, 
continues to be appropriately designated as indirect.

C. New Regulatory Fee Categories

    48. In the FY 2023 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. The 
Satellite Operators argue that the Commission has unquestionable 
jurisdiction to extend its regulatory fee categories to include service 
providers and manufacturers that benefit from the Commission's 
regulatory activities. The Satellite Operators suggest that we again 
seek comment on four new fee categories: (i) broadband internet access 
providers, (ii) database administrators that enable unlicensed 
operations, (iii) equipment manufacturers, and (iv) experimental 
licenses. TechFreedom, on the other hand, contends that the Commission 
lacks legal authority to require entities that it neither licenses nor 
regulates to pay regulatory fees.
    49. We have previously sought comment on the fee categories 
proposed by the Satellite Operators and others, and, as no new facts or 
analysis have been provided in the record to support such proposals, we 
are neither adopting such categories at this time nor seeking further 
comment on them. Because commenters have provided no basis for us to 
change the Commission's prior determinations on this issue and we 
therefore affirm that such fees would be unworkable and logistically 
infeasible to collect at this time.

D. Space Station and International Bearer Circuit Regulatory Fees

1. Space Station Regulatory Fees
a. NGSO/GSO 80/20 Allocation
    50. For FY 2023, we adopt the regulatory fees for space and earth 
stations proposed in the FY 2023 NPRM, which were based on the 
allocation of International Bureau FTEs that regulated space and earth 
stations. The International Bureau existed for most of FY 2023, and 
therefore we conclude that it is appropriate to adopt regulatory fees 
for FY 2023 based on the work of International Bureau FTEs for this 
fiscal year. We find that the proposed categories and allocations 
continue to accurately reflect the allocation of International Bureau 
FTEs in FY 2023. For the reasons discussed below, we decline to change 
allocations or add categories or subcategories of space station 
regulatory fees at this time. FY 2024 will be the first full fiscal 
year that the Space Bureau will be in existence. We anticipate closely 
evaluating the work of staff during the first year to ensure the 
continued accuracy of our FTE allocations. Moreover, given the rapid 
pace of development change in this segment of the telecommunications 
industry, we also anticipate closely considering whether any space and 
earth station regulatory fee categories should be revised in the coming 
years.
    51. The FY 2023 NPRM sought comment on proposed regulatory fees for 
space and earth stations. For space stations, the proposed fees were 
calculated using the existing allocation of FTEs between GSO and NGSO 
space station categories, and among different categories of NGSO space 
station systems. Under the existing methodology of calculating 
regulatory fees for space stations, 80% of space station regulatory 
fees are allocated to GSOs and 20% of the space station regulatory fees 
to NGSOs. In addition, there are two subcategories for NGSO space 
stations regulatory fees: ``less complex'' NGSO systems and all other 
NGSO systems identified as ``other'' NGSO systems. ``Less complex'' 
NGSO systems are defined as NGSO satellite 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). ``Less complex'' NGSO fees and 
``other'' NGSO fees were split within the broader NGSO fee category on 
a 20/80 basis. In 2022, the Commission adopted a methodology for 
calculating the regulatory fee for small satellites and small 
spacecraft (together, small satellites) within the NGSO fee category 
based on 1/20th (5%) of the average of the non-small satellite NGSO 
space station regulatory fee rates from the current fiscal year on a 
per license basis.
    52. The FY 2023 NPRM did not seek comment on the methodology 
previously adopted to allocate regulatory fees among GSO and NGSO space 
stations, nor did it seek comment on the definitions of existing 
subcategories of NGSO space stations or the creation of new 
subcategories of NGSO space stations in general. It did, however, seek 
comment generally on whether to adopt new regulatory fee categories and 
on ways to improve the regulatory fee process regarding ``any and all 
categories of service.'' It also sought comment specifically on how to 
apply regulatory fees to spacecraft performing On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) 
and Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) specifically operating 
near the geostationary satellite orbit arc.
    53. No comments were received in response to the proposed 
regulatory fees

[[Page 63702]]

for earth stations or for small satellites. As stated above, we find 
that these categories and allocations continue to accurately reflect 
the allocation of International Bureau FTEs for FY 2023. Accordingly, 
we adopt the proposed regulatory fees for earth stations and small 
satellites for FY 2023.
    54. Several space station operators, individually or collectively, 
submitted comments regarding proposed regulatory fees for space 
stations other than small satellites. Broadly speaking, the comments 
can be divided into two categories. The first category proposes 
revisions to our existing methodology and categories for assessing 
regulatory fees on NGSO space stations. These commenters argue in favor 
of revising the ``20/80'' allocation between ``less complex'' and 
``other'' NGSO space stations, revisiting the definition of ``less 
complex'' NGSO space station systems, or proposing to initiate a 
further notice of proposed rulemaking to revise and expand the 
subcategories of NGSO space station fees. The second category provides 
comments on how to apply regulatory fees to OOS and RPO spacecraft. We 
address each category of comments in turn below, but in each instance 
conclude that the record is insufficient at this time to adopt changes 
to the proposed regulatory fees for FY 2023 or to initiate a further 
notice of proposed rulemaking. Moreover, as observed previously in this 
order, the Commission's methodology need not reach scientific precision 
and instead must simply be reasonable.
b. NGSO Space Stations ``Less Complex'' and ``Other'' Regulatory Fees
    55. 20/80 Less Complex/Other Allocation. The Satellite Operators 
contend that we should revisit the ``20/80 split'' between ``less 
complex'' and ``other'' NGSO space station systems and the assumptions 
that underly it. They argue that our regulatory fee structure should 
``not remain stagnant'' regarding the nature of ``less complex'' NGSO 
space station systems that provide EESS, and that the Commission should 
initiate a further notice of proposed rulemaking because ``[t]oday's 
EESS business . . . is virtually unrecognizable from what existed when 
the Commission first established [the ``less complex''] NGSO regulatory 
fee structure'' in 2021.
    56. We find that the record is insufficient at this time to 
revisit, or to initiate a further rulemaking to revisit, the 20/80 
allocation between ``less complex'' and ``other'' NGSO space station 
systems. The Satellite Operators do not provide any specific 
alternative proposals to the current allocations, other than to seek 
comment on the significance of the purported changes to the EESS 
business in order to build a foundation to take action on next year. As 
the EESS Operators observe, however, the Satellite Operators offer no 
new evidence that might cause the Commission to alter its conclusions 
and change the allocation, but repeat the argument they have made in 
the regulatory fee proceedings for FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and 
do not provide a basis for the Commission to revisit its decision 
regarding NGSO fee category definitions adopted in the FY 2021 NPRM. In 
addition, the purported changes to the EESS business presented by the 
Satellite Operators (for example, multiplying use cases, mushrooming 
demand of customers for data, and changes in methods of distribution) 
do not go to the factors relied on in adopting the 20/80 allocation 
between ``less complex'' and ``other'' NGSO space stations: the amount 
of staff work involved in regulating NGSO space stations planning to 
communicate with 20 or fewer U.S. authorized earth stations primarily 
in EESS and/or AIS versus the amount of work involved in regulating 
other types of NGSO space station systems. Thus, there is no basis for 
initiating a further notice of proposed rulemaking at this time.
    57. NGSO Space Station Fee Category Definitions and Expansion. Some 
commenters propose to revisit the definition of ``less complex'' NGSO 
space station systems to include a broader range of NGSO space station 
systems, or to initiate a further notice of proposed rulemaking to 
revise and expand the subcategories of NGSO space station fees. In 
particular, Kin[eacute]is alleges that the Commission did not fully 
explain the decision in the FY 2021 NPRM to use ``the total number of 
earth stations with which satellite network will communicate'' as the 
``only'' factor to distinguish NGSO space station systems as ``less 
complex'' for regulatory fee purposes. To the extent that 
Kin[eacute]is's comments seek reconsideration of our holding in in that 
order, we agree with other comments that such an argument would be 
untimely. While we decline to revisit our prior holding, we will, 
however, address the Kin[eacute]is comments to the extent it proposes 
that the Commission should, on a going forward basis, expand the 
category of ``less complex'' NGSO space stations to include factors 
other than ``the total number of earth stations with which satellite 
network will communicate'' to distinguish NGSO space station systems as 
``less complex.''
    58. As an initial matter, Kin[eacute]is mischaracterizes the prior 
decision as to which types of NGSO space station systems are ``less 
complex'' as being based only on the number of earth stations utilized 
by a NGSO space station system. In fact, the number of earth stations 
was not, and is not, the only factor for determining that an NGSO space 
station system is ``less complex'' for regulatory fee purposes. Rather, 
the Commission found that NGSO space station systems ``planning to 
communicate with 20 or fewer U.S.-authorized earth stations that are 
primarily used for [EESS] and/or [AIS] are significantly less complex 
to regulate than other types of NGSO systems'' (italics added). As the 
Commission explained, multiple factors led to determining that NGSO 
space station systems communicating with 20 or less U.S.-authorized 
earth stations used primarily for EESS and/or AIS involved less staff 
resources to regulate that other NGSO space station systems.
    59. Thus, the number of earth stations is not the only factor for 
determining whether an NGSO space station system is ``less complex'' 
for regulatory fee purposes, but it is one factor, together with the 
service primarily being provided, that serves as a proxies for other 
factors, such as whether processing rounds are required to process the 
application, the geographic area being served by the system, the 
quantity and range of spectrum needs, and how the system utilizes 
spectrum vis-[agrave]-vis other systems. All these factors, not just 
the number of earth stations, go towards determining the amount of FTE 
resources required to regulate a NGSO space station system, thereby 
determining whether an NGSO space station system is ``less complex'' 
for regulatory fee purposes.
    60. We note that the possibility of other NGSO space station 
systems being categorized as ``less complex'' for regulatory fee 
purposes in the future has not be rejected or precluded. Indeed, such a 
possibility has been expressly recognized. But the inclusion of NGSO 
space station systems into the ``less complex'' category must arise 
from factors that reflect the amount of work that FTEs perform to 
regulate such systems relative to the work performed for other NGSO 
space station systems. If the Commission finds in the future that 
another type of NGSO space station system requires less regulatory work 
than other NGSO space station systems, that type of NGSO space station 
system would be eligible for the ``less complex'' category as well. 
Although Kin[eacute]is and Myriota argue that their non-voice, non-
geostationary mobile satellite service (NVNG MSS) designed to provide 
``Internet of Things'' (IoT) connectivity

[[Page 63703]]

should also be categorized as ``less complex,'' their arguments focus 
on the alleged superior benefits received by other NGSO space station 
systems compared to their own, rather than on the amount of regulatory 
work that FTEs perform. Such benefits, however, are not material to 
determining the complexity of regulation of a satellite system, which 
is the determining criterion for a ``less complex'' NGSO space station 
system. As such, we find that the record is not sufficiently developed 
at this time to determine that NVNG MSS IoT space station systems 
should be included in the ``less complex'' NGSO space station 
regulatory fee category.
    61. Kin[eacute]is also proposes that the Commission adopt a further 
notice of proposed rulemaking to develop a record to separate the 
various NGSO networks into more homogenous categories that group 
providers together with others that provide similar types of services. 
Kin[eacute]is proposes that we adopt a multi-tiered approach to the fee 
categories for NGSO space station systems, using many different factors 
to group NGSO space station systems into tiers that would ``charge each 
provider an amount commensurate with its demands on Commission 
resources and the benefits it receives through regulation based on 
these enumerated factors.'' Kin[eacute]is suggests five NGSO tiers: (1) 
Global Fixed/Mobile Broadband; (2) Big LEO Voice & Data; (3) EESS Space 
Imaging & Other; (4) UHF IoT Data Collection & Monitoring/AIS; and (5) 
SmallSat. Although much of the basis for the different tiers is 
purported differences in the benefits received from FCC regulation, 
Kin[eacute]is also attempts to quantify the amount of FTE work 
necessitated by each tier by evaluating the number of filings each tier 
made in our Electronic Comments Filing System (ECFS) from the start of 
FY 2022 until June 1, 2023.
    62. We find Kin[eacute]is's multi-tiered proposal for defining NGSO 
fee categories to be potentially useful framework as the Commission has 
used such multi-tiered approaches for assessing regulatory fees for 
other services. There is not sufficient time, however, to consider such 
expansive changes in time to adopt regulatory fees for FY 2023 because 
the conclusions underlying the proposal by Kin[eacute]is require 
further comment and evaluation. Kin[eacute]is's attempts to quantify 
the amount of FTE work necessitated by each proposed tier rely 
exclusively on filings made during a limited time period in docketed 
proceedings such as rulemakings, without consideration of applications 
and related filings, which would be made through ICFS, not ECFS. In 
addition, as the Satellite Operators observe, Kin[eacute]is has not 
attempted to explain how we would allocate the FTE time among these 
categories.
    63. We agree, however, that an examination of our regulatory fees 
and categories for NGSO space stations would be useful in light of 
changes resulting from the creation of the Space Bureau and fuller 
consideration of possible adjustments to into account factors that are 
reasonably related to the benefits provided by the Commission's 
activities. We do not, however, have a sufficient record to initiate 
such an examination at this time. Section 9 requires regulatory fees be 
keyed to the FTE burden associated with the oversight and regulation of 
each regulatory fee category. We anticipate that the changes in the 
industry that resulted our decision to create the Space Bureau will 
likely also result in changes in the relative FTE burden between and 
among our space and earth station fee payors. Moreover, we anticipate 
the creation of the Space Bureau will result in the streamlining of the 
oversight and regulation of space stations, which could also change FTE 
burdens. Accordingly, we find it will be more efficient to seek comment 
on proposals to reexamine the categories of regulatory fees for NGSO 
space station systems, like the one offered by Kin[eacute]is, at the 
same time as other proposals that might arise as part of a more 
holistic review of the FTE burden of the Space Bureau in FY 2024.
    64. Miscellaneous. Space X contends that we have miscalculated the 
space station regulatory fees because we based our calculations on nine 
units in the ``Space Stations (Non-Geostationary, Other)'' category, 
instead of ten. Although there are ten such licensed systems, one of 
the licensed systems was not operational as of October 1, 2022, and we 
are removing that station from the unit count when calculating the per 
unit fee. A unit count of nine is correct.
c. Spacecraft Performing On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) and Rendezvous and 
Proximity Operations (RPO) (In-Space Servicing Industries)
    65. In the FY 2022 NPRM, we sought comment on adopting regulatory 
fee categories for spacecraft performing OOS and RPO. OOS and RPO 
missions, which can include satellite refueling, inspecting and 
repairing in-orbit spacecraft, capturing and removing debris, and 
transforming materials through manufacturing while in space, have the 
potential to benefit all space stations and improve the sustainability 
of the outer space environment and the space-based services. Due to the 
nascent nature of the OOS and RPO, or more generally ``in-space 
servicing'' industries, we currently do not have a regulatory fee 
category for such spacecraft. The Commission noted at that time that 
there have been a limited number of such operations and tentatively 
concluded that it was 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.
    66. Neither the scope of in-space servicing operations nor the 
regulatory framework developed sufficiently to adopt regulatory fee 
categories for FY 2022. As a result, in the FY 2023 NPRM we sought 
comment on defining this emerging category of operations for regulatory 
fee purposes, including whether a separate regulatory fee category is 
necessary for those spacecraft that may conduct such in-space servicing 
operations in the future. The FY 2023 NPRM also observed that some 
spacecraft conducting satellite servicing operate, or plan to operate, 
near the GSO arc, but that most of these operations are likely to 
ultimately be in NGSO.
    67. Currently, two spacecraft operate under part 25 for 
communications while conducting these types of operations with GSO 
satellites. These two spacecraft remain operational in FY 2023. In the 
FY 2023 NPRM, the Commission tentatively concluded that, despite being 
assigned their own call signs, which is the unit usually used to assess 
fees for satellite regulatees operating in GSO, such spacecraft appear 
to operate as part of existing GSO systems, rather than as separate 
independent spacecraft. Therefore, there would be no independent system 
for a separate fee assessment for these operations near the GSO arc, 
and the regulatory burden (i.e., the FTE time) for such operations 
would be included in the fees collected from the GSO regulatory fee 
payors. The Commission sought comment on this tentative conclusion and 
whether it may not apply to future operations of OOS and RPO 
spacecraft, which may operate more independently of the satellites that 
they will service. The Commission also observed that, for spacecraft 
conducting OOS and RPO with GSO satellites, identifying whether such 
spacecraft operations are part of an existing GSO system appears to be 
the first step in determining whether the Commission should assess a 
separate regulatory fee. The FY 2023 NPRM proposed to apply the 
regulatory fee for ``Space Stations (Geostationary Orbit)'' to OOS and 
RPO spacecraft operating near the GSO arc,

[[Page 63704]]

unless a determination is made that the OOS or RPO spacecraft is 
operating as part of an existing GSO system and therefore should not be 
assessed a separate regulatory fee. The Commission sought comment on 
this approach, as well as on the specific factors that should be 
considered to determine whether a OOS or RPO spacecraft is operating as 
part of an existing GSO system for regulatory fee purposes.
    68. We find that the record remains too incomplete to adopt a 
separate regulatory fee category for spacecraft performing OOS and RPO 
at this time. Although commenters generally support the creation of 
new, separate regulatory fee categories for OOS and RPO space stations, 
we conclude there is insufficient understanding of the nature and 
regulation of such spacecraft to consider concrete proposals for 
assessing regulatory fees for OOS and RPO space stations at this time. 
The Commission is still in the early stages of considering the 
regulatory environment for such services as a whole, and the definition 
of which services would fit into OOS and RPO and the regulatory 
framework for such services are yet to be developed. Accordingly, we 
are unable to determine who would be eligible for such a category or 
the amount of the FTE burden that the Commission would spend in 
regulating such a category, which is a necessary first step in adopting 
regulatory fees. We will continue to develop the record regarding a 
possible separate fee category for OOS, RPO, and in-space servicing 
more generally, with the benefit of progress made in rulemaking 
proceedings concerning these emerging services and will revisit this 
issue as part of the regulatory fees proceeding for FY 2024.
    69. We will continue to develop a record that will inform possible 
establishment of a fee category(ies) and appropriate methodology for 
assessing such a fee category(ies). We will also continue to consider 
OOS and RPO spacecraft licensing for those spacecraft operating near 
the GSO arc on a mission-by-mission basis. Relatedly, Astroscale 
requests that we also clarify that a determination that the OOS or RPO 
spacecraft is operating as part of an existing GSO system could also 
include GSO servicing spacecraft operating in other frequency bands not 
supported by the client vehicle. We find, however, that the record is 
insufficiently developed at this time to act on this request. Although 
some comments oppose ever assessing the fee for GSO space stations on 
OOS and RPO spacecraft, arguing that the current GSO fee category 
reflects FTE hours spent on typical GSO spacecraft issues and that 
these are not efforts that servicing spacecraft near the GSO arc 
benefit from, there is no other fee category available for space 
stations operating in geostationary orbit, and section 9 does not 
permit the Commission to exempt regulatees from paying regulatory fees. 
Because we are not proposing to adopt, at this time, a regulatory fee 
category for OOS or RPO operations, or in-space servicing more 
generally, we need not consider what factors should go into determining 
the regulatory fees for such categories.
    70. Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV). The FY 2023 NPRM also sought 
comment on additional or different definitions for a potential new fee 
category, such as including in the definition of OOS concepts of 
operation such as deployment via an OTV. Spaceflight argues that the 
new fee category for in-space servicing systems should be broadly 
defined, encompassing a range of activities, including OTV deployment 
services, rendezvous and proximity operations, refueling, situational 
awareness, and debris-related activities. Spaceflight submits that it 
is essential that OTVs are not simply designated as either GSO or NGSO, 
but rather recognized as a distinct category within the regulatory 
framework. Spaceflight believes that OTVs possess distinct capabilities 
and serve a specific purpose in space operations, making it crucial to 
establish a separate classification that reflects these 
characteristics. Spaceflight supports a fee assessment comparable to 
the one applicable for small satellites because there are similarities 
between OTVs and the small satellite systems. Spaceflight argues that 
both types of missions are generally characterized by the following 
factors: (i) limited interference protection, (ii) limited mission 
durations, (iii) smaller system investments, (iv) less probability of 
ongoing adjudications, (v) higher chance to require multiple licenses 
or market grants, and (vi) a limited number of in-space servicing 
missions.
    71. In addition, Spaceflight disagrees with our position that 
innovative OTVs should not be classified as in-orbit servicing 
spacecraft but rather as an NGSO spacecraft which deploys other 
spacecraft and contends that the Commission has not provided a basis by 
which to characterize Sherpa-AC1, or OTVs more generally, as ``less 
complex'' NGSO systems for regulatory fee purposes. Spaceflight 
explains that the very purpose of OTVs is to support other space 
missions, and this service is more similar to that of a launch vehicle, 
rather than a traditional communications or other satellite service. 
Spaceflight argues that there is nothing in the record or the 
Commission's analysis to explain why a physical, in-orbit delivery 
service is like the satellite services provided by NGSO spacecraft 
classified in the ``less complex'' fee category, i.e., Earth imaging or 
other type of monitoring services. Moreover, Spaceflight purports that 
simply classifying OTV missions as ``less complex'' based on the number 
of earth stations used to communicate with the OTV system would be 
inappropriate. Spaceflight submits that traditional systems generally 
rely more heavily on spectrum use, either for the provision of two-way 
communications or the transmission of service data, such as imagery of 
the Earth or other similar commercial data; however, OTVs generally use 
spectrum simply to operate the spacecraft or for other limited testing. 
Spaceflight argues that such spectrum use is also typically on a non-
interference and unprotected basis because there is no specific 
spectrum allocation for the physical services provided by OTV 
operators.
    72. Spaceflight also argues that OTVs generally have significantly 
shorter operational lives compared to traditional NGSO satellites, such 
as mission lifetimes of less than a few hours or days. In contrast, 
Spaceflight contends, satellites in traditional communications or 
imaging satellite systems have mission lifetimes measured in years and 
are generally parts of constellations with 15-year license terms. For 
these reasons, Spaceflight submits that OTVs are unlike ``less 
complex'' (or ``other'') NGSO systems and should not be treated as such 
for regulatory fee purposes. Spaceflight further argues that if the 
Commission decides that OTV licensees should pay annual regulatory fees 
associated with ``less complex'' NGSO licenses, OTV operators should be 
permitted to seek blanket licenses for the launch and operation of 
multiple OTV spacecraft per license. Spaceflight submits that such a 
policy would be consistent with the treatment of other NGSO systems and 
licensees and would more accurately reflect regulatory costs borne by 
the Commission.
    73. As stated above, the record is not sufficiently complete to 
adopt or even propose a separate regulatory fee category for spacecraft 
performing OOS, regardless of whether OTVs are included within the 
definition of OOS or not. We will continue to develop the record 
regarding a possible separate fee category for OOS, RPO, and in-space 
servicing more generally, and will consider OTVs as part of that record

[[Page 63705]]

development. In addition, Spaceflight's proposal that OTV operators 
should be permitted to seek blanket licenses for the launch and 
operation of multiple OTV spacecraft per license is outside the scope 
of this proceeding and is more appropriately considered as part of a 
separate license application or rulemaking.
2. International Bearer Circuit Regulatory Fees--Submarine Cable 
Systems
    74. We reject the Submarine Cable Coalition's request to revise the 
Commission's regulatory fee methodology for submarine cable operators, 
which is based upon the lit capacity of the fiber-optic submarine 
cable, because, they contend, that under our current methodology the 
fees charged to submarine cable operators do not account for the amount 
of Commission resources and services required for oversight. We find 
that the Submarine Cable Coalition provides no persuasive argument that 
the Commission's assessment of these regulatory fees based on capacity 
is contrary to the Communications Act and is not reasonably related to 
the benefits provided. We adopt our proposal to use the same tiers for 
assessing fees on submarine cable operators for FY 2023 as in FY 2022, 
which are based on the ``lit'' capacity of the fiber-optic submarine 
cable.
    75. International bearer circuits (IBCs) consist of terrestrial and 
satellite circuits and submarine cable systems. In the 2009 Submarine 
Cable Order (74 FR 22104, May 12, 2009), based on a consensus proposal 
made by a large number of submarine cable operators (Consensus 
Proposal), the Commission adopted a new methodology for assessing IBC 
fees. Instead of assessing IBC fees based on 64 kbps circuits for all 
types of IBCs, the Commission began assessing regulatory fees for 
submarine cable operators on a per cable landing license basis, with 
higher fees for larger capacity submarine cable systems and lower fees 
for smaller capacity submarine cable systems. The Commission adopted a 
five-tier structure for assessing fees on submarine cables systems 
based on lit capacity. The Commission explained that it will define 
operational submarine cable systems as either ``large'' or ``small'' 
submarine cable systems based on the capacity of each system and the 
``small'' systems will be further subdivided into additional 
subcategories. The Commission concluded that this methodology served 
the public interest and was competitively neutral because it included 
both common carrier and non-common carrier submarine cable operators. 
The Commission also explained that the methodology would be easier to 
administer and for submarine cable operators to comply with. The 
Commission further stated that a lower fee for licensees of smaller 
cable systems would mitigate concerns that a flat fee may create a 
barrier to entry for new entrants. In the FY 2020 Report and Order (85 
FR 59864, September 23, 2020), the Commission found that lit capacity 
was an appropriate measure by which to assess IBC fees for submarine 
cables.
    76. The Submarine Cable Coalition contends that the fee structure 
continues to impose disproportionate fees on submarine cable operations 
that do not reflect their limited use of Commission resources and 
services. These commenters argue that the benefits submarine cable 
licensees receive from the Commission's work pale significantly in 
comparison to the regulatory oversight required of other Commission 
licensees. The Submarine Cable Coalition argues that a regulatory fee 
structure disconnected from and disproportionate to the benefits 
rendered to the regulatory fee payor is contrary to the Communications 
Act and imposes an undue burden on the industry.
    77. We disagree with the Submarine Cable Coalition's contention 
that the Commission's regulatory fee methodology is contrary to the 
Communications Act and that the Commission has not developed regulatory 
fees that are reasonably related to the benefits provided. The 
Commission has long held that capacity is a reasonable basis to assess 
regulatory costs among the submarine cable regulatory fee payors that 
benefit from the Commission's work. As the Commission has previously 
stated, the fee assessment on submarine cables covers the costs for 
regulatory activity concerning submarine cables as well as the services 
provided over the submarine cables. We find it reasonable to continue 
to assess higher regulatory fees on licensees with larger facilities 
that benefit more from the Commission's work and thus should pay a 
larger proportion of the Commission's costs.
    78. Since FY 2009, when the Commission adopted the new methodology 
for assessing submarine cable fees, the level of lit capacity for 
submarine cable systems has increased and the Commission has expanded 
the different tiers to take into account this change and accommodate 
for this rapid growth in capacity. However, the basic methodology for 
calculating submarine cable fees based on capacity has not changed. 
Submarine cable fees are still calculated on the basis of ``1'' unit, 
``.5'' units, ``.25'' units and so forth. Furthermore, we note that the 
regulatory fees for FY 2023 have been reduced from those assessed in FY 
2022. As discussed above, lit capacity remains a reasonable basis to 
apportion regulatory costs among the submarine cable regulatory fee 
payors that benefit from the Commission's work, and our fee methodology 
with respect to submarine cables continues to reasonably reflect the 
FTE costs for our regulatory activity concerning submarine cables as 
well as the services provided over the submarine cables.

E. Broadcaster Regulatory Fees for FY 2023

1. Full Service Television
    79. The Commission has utilized a population-based full-service 
broadcast television regulatory fee since 2020. The population-based 
methodology conforms with the service authorized here--broadcasting 
television to the American people. In the FY 2023 NPRM, we proposed to 
continue to assess fees for full-power broadcast stations based on the 
population covered by a full-service broadcast station's contour and 
proposed adopting a factor of 0.7799 of one cent ($0.007799) per 
population served for FY 2023 full-power broadcast television station 
fees. We received no comments on this issue. We therefore conclude that 
we will continue to use the population-based methodology for full-
service television broadcasters based on the population covered by a 
full-service broadcast television station's contour. We also adopt a 
factor of 0.7799 of one cent ($0.007799) per population served for FY 
2023 full-power broadcast television station fees. The population data 
for broadcasters' service areas will continue to be determined using 
the TVStudy software and the LMS 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 
$0.007799) for each full-power broadcast television station is listed 
in Table 10. For those VHF stations whose power had to be increased to 
obtain a clearer signal, the Commission will continue to use a 
population count based on that station's lower VHF power level rather 
than at the increased power level.

[[Page 63706]]

2. Radio Stations
    80. In the FY 2023 NPRM, we sought comment on the existing tiered 
fee structure for radio broadcasters regulatory fees and proposed the 
creation of an additional tier within the lowest population tier to 
ensure that broadcaster fees fairly represent the regulatory oversight 
benefits distributed among all radio broadcasters and that the 
regulatory fees assessed to the smaller broadcasters are ``reasonably 
related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the 
Commission's activities'' as required by section 9(d) of the Act. NAB 
agrees that we should adopt the proposal to create a new fee tier for 
the smallest AM and FM radio stations. In its reply comments, the State 
Associations of Broadcasters agree that the Commission should implement 
the proposed new radio tier to more fairly distribute the burden of 
regulatory fees. No commenter in the record objected to our proposal. 
We therefore adopt a revised radio station regulatory fee table that 
includes a lower population tier for AM and FM broadcasters. 
Specifically, we separate the previous years' tier of <=25,000 
population into two tiers: (1) <=10,000, and (2) 10,001-25,000. The 
remaining population tier thresholds will stay the same as prior years. 
In addition, beginning in FY 2023, the radio population count that is 
the basis for assessing regulatory fees will include 2020 U.S. Census 
data.

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

F. Continuing Flexibility in FY 2023 for Regulatory Fee Payors

    81. In FYs 2020, 2021, and 2022, we provided temporary relief to 
fee payors experiencing financial hardship caused or exacerbated by the 
COVID-19 pandemic. In the FY 2023 NPRM, we asked whether we should 
continue certain of those temporary measures for FY 2023 regulatory 
fees. Both NAB and the State Broadcasters Associations filed comments 
in support of continuing the temporary measures for FY 2023 regulatory 
fees. While the National Emergency has ended, we recognize, as NAB and 
the State Broadcasters Associations pointed out in their comments to 
the FY 2023 NPRM, that extending relief measures for FY 2023 regulatory 
fees while businesses like broadcasters continue to recover from the 
economic impact of the pandemic, will benefit fee payors. Therefore, 
the Commission finds good cause to continue to offer a nominal interest 
rate and waive its down payment requirement, for installment payment of 
regulatory fee debt. OMD will continue to exercise its delegated 
authority to partially waive Sec.  1.1910 of the Commission's rules to 
allow regulatees on ``red light'' and experiencing financial hardship 
to nonetheless request waiver, reduction, deferral, and/or installment 
payment of their FY 2023 regulatory fees, provided that those 
regulatees resolve all of the delinquent debt they owe to the 
Commission in advance of the Commission's decision on their relief 
requests.
    82. We also will continue a partial waiver of Sec.  1.1166 of our 
rules to permit fee payors seeking waiver, deferral or reduction of 
their FY 2023 regulatory fees to submit documentation supporting their 
requests after their underlying requests are submitted. This partial 
waiver of Sec.  1.1166(c) does not remove the burden of submitting 
documents in support of individual waiver requests. Parties seeking 
waiver, deferral or reduction of their FY 2023 regulatory fees must 
make a good faith effort to submit all necessary documentation with 
their initial regulatory fee waiver requests. As part of our partial 
waiver of 1.1166(c), we will provide fee payors, after filing their 
requests for waiver, reduction or deferral of their FY 2023 regulatory 
fees, with one opportunity to submit additional documents to support 
their requests, which submission must occur by January 31, 2024 in 
order for their supplemental documentation to be considered with their 
requests. We condition our temporary waiver in order to more closely 
align our practices with the requirements of Sec.  1.1166. This 
provides fee payors with relief while at the same time scaffolding a 
return to normal operation of our rules.
    83. The State Broadcasters Associations also advocate for making 
permanent these remaining temporary measures, stating that without 
them, the Commission's processes and rules, particularly with respect 
to installment payment requests, are sufficiently onerous as to prevent 
distressed fee payors from effectively accessing the relief. Because we 
did not propose to codify the remaining temporary measures in the FY 
2023 NPRM, the record is insufficient to consider the State 
Broadcasters Associations' proposal and we therefore decline to 
consider it at this time.
    84. Finally, in the FY 2023 NPRM, we amended Sec.  1.1166 of our 
rules to permit parties seeking regulatory fee waiver, reduction and/or 
deferral to make a single request for all forms of relief sought, 
rather than requiring separate filings for each form of relief, and to 
require all requests made under the rule to be submitted electronically 
to a dedicated email address. We also amended Sec.  1.1914 of our rules 
to direct parties seeking to pay their regulatory fees in installments 
to submit those requests to the same dedicated email address and to 
permit those parties to combine their installment payment requests with 
their waiver. While we did not receive any comments on this point, it 
is very unlikely that the OMB PRA approval process will conclude in 
time for parties seeking installment relief to proceed under the 
codified revisions to Sec.  1.1914. Therefore, we will continue these 
revisions to Sec.  1.1914 as temporary measures until their 
codification is effective.
    85. We also remind regulatory fee payors that we cannot relax the

[[Page 63707]]

substantive 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 charge if it finds there is good 
cause for the waiver and that the waiver is in the public interest. The 
Commission has only granted financial hardship waivers when the 
requesting party has shown it ``lacks sufficient funds to pay the 
regulatory fees and to maintain its service to the public.'' Other 
statutory limitations include that the Commission must act on waiver 
requests individually, and cannot extend the deadline we set for 
payment of fees beyond September 30.

G. Providing Installment Payment Relief to Small Regulatory Fee Payors

    86. In the FY 2023 NPRM, we sought comment on a proposal to allow 
regulatory fee payors to prepay their annual regulatory fees in 
increments before the annual regulatory fee payment deadline. The State 
Broadcasters Associations asked that the Commission consider the 
proposal, on the basis that permitting incremental prepayment of 
regulatory fees would ease broadcasters' regulatory fee burden. In 
seeking comment on the proposal, we noted that implementation of such a 
program would require modifications to our recordkeeping, financial 
operations, and accounting systems and additional personnel to 
administer the program. We asked commenters what concrete benefits the 
Commission and participating regulatory fee payors would derive from 
the program, to justify the Commission's cost of implementing and 
administering a prepayment by installment program. In their reply 
comments, the State Broadcasters Associations concede the significant 
administrative difficulties of a prepayment program but do not identify 
any program benefits sufficient to justify implementation and 
administration of such a program. We received no other comments on the 
proposal. Because the record does not identify any concrete benefits 
derived from a prepayment program, as distinct from, for example, 
broadcasters individually setting aside money each month in advance of 
the payment deadline to pay their regulatory fee obligation, and would 
increase the Commission's costs, we decline to adopt the proposal to 
permit regulated parties to prepay their annual regulatory fee 
obligation in increments in advance of the regulatory fee payment 
deadline.

H. Technical Corrections to Sections 1.1166 and 1.1914 of the 
Commission's Rules

    87. We further amend Sec.  1.1166 to delete certain language added 
to the rule in error in the FY 2023 NPRM. Specifically, we delete ``or 
installment payment'' in the introductory paragraph of Sec.  1.1166 and 
in 1.1166(a), make grammatical changes to move the word ``or'' twice, 
and we delete ``and 1.1914'' in 1.1166(a). We also restore the 
following text (bolded) that was inadvertently deleted from Sec.  
1.1166(a) in the FY 2023 NPRM: ``All requests for waiver, reduction and 
deferral shall be acted upon by the Managing Director with the 
concurrence of the General Counsel.''
    88. We also make two technical corrections to Sec.  1.1914 to 
clarify the language of the rule. The third sentence of Sec.  1.1914(a) 
is revised to read as follows: ``Requests for installment payment of 
non-regulatory fee debt shall be filed electronically, by submission to 
the following email address: [email protected].'' We make 
this change to ensure that, for administrative simplicity purposes, 
installment payment requests that are non-regulatory fee in nature are 
submitted to a different email address than the email address to which 
all regulatory fee relief requests, including those for installment 
payment of regulatory fees, are to be submitted. Finally, we revise the 
fourth sentence of Sec.  1.1914(a) to more clearly state that requests 
for installment payment of regulatory fees may be combined with other 
regulatory fee relief requests that are filed pursuant to Sec.  1.1166 
of our rules. We make these technical corrections sua sponte without 
notice and comment because we conclude that they are rules of agency 
organization, procedure, or practice exempt from the general notice-
and-comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

I. Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

    89. In the FY 2023 NPRM, we sought 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 did not receive any comments on this issue. While 
diversity and equity considerations do not impact our methodology for 
establishing regulatory fee rates, we continue to remain mindful of the 
importance of these considerations and the impact of our rules on them. 
We again emphasize, however, that the Commission is not permitted 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, consistent with the requirements of 
section 9 of the Act.

III. Procedural Matters

    90. Included below are procedural items as well as our current 
payment and collection methods.
    91. Commission's Registration System. To increase efficiency, the 
Commission is using an all-electronic payment system for regulatory 
fees, which is contained within the Commission's Registration System 
(CORES). Before using CORES for the first time, you must obtain an FCC 
Username through the FCC User Registration System, and subsequently use 
it to access CORES and either register an FCC Registration Number (FRN) 
or associate an existing FRN to your password. If you are unable to 
register electronically, you may fax your application for a 
Registration Number (FCC Form 160) to the CORES Helpdesk at (202) 418-
7869 for filing procedures.
    92. Credit Card Transaction Levels. In accordance with Treasury 
Financial Manual, Volume I, Part 5, Chapter 7000, Section 7055.20--
Transaction Maximums, 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 the CORES system. Further details will be provided 
regarding payment methods and procedures at the time of FY 2023 
regulatory fee collection in Fact Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
    93. 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://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer. The receiving bank 
for all wire payments is the U.S. Treasury, New York, NY (TREAS NYC). 
Any other

[[Page 63708]]

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://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer.
    94. 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 regulatory fee payor 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 
regulatory fee payor will need to reevaluate the total annual fee 
liability each fiscal year to determine whether it meets the de minimis 
exemption.
    95. 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, 2022 for 
AM/FM radio stations and VHF/UHF broadcast television stations. 
Regulatory fees must be paid for all broadcast facility licenses 
granted on or before October 1, 2022.
     Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must 
be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 
2022. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or assigned 
after October 1, 2022, 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, 2022.
     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, 2022. The number of subscribers, units, 
or telephone numbers on December 31, 2022 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, 2022, 
responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or 
license as of the fee due date.
     Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: The first seven 
regulatory fee categories in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees pay 
``small multi-year wireless regulatory fees.'' Entities pay these 
regulatory fees in advance for the entire amount period covered by the 
ten-year terms of their initial licenses, and pay regulatory fees again 
only when the license is renewed, or a new license is obtained. We 
include these fee categories in our rulemaking to publicize our 
estimates of the number of ``small multi-year wireless'' licenses that 
will be renewed or newly obtained in FY 2022.
     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, 2022. Regulatory fees also must be paid for CARS licenses 
that were granted on or before October 1, 2022. In instances where a 
permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2022, 
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, 2022. In instances where a permit or license 
is transferred or assigned after October 1, 2022, 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) by all licensed or 
authorized earth stations on or before October 1, 2022, (2) 
geostationary orbit space stations and non-geostationary orbit 
satellite systems that are licensed and operational on or before 
October 1, 2022, and (3) small satellite space stations that were 
licensed and operational on or before October 1, 2022. In instances 
where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1, 
2022, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or 
license as of the fee due date. During the ``de-commissioning'' phase 
of satellites, whereby satellites are often not operational, the 
satellite license must be cancelled by September 30, 2022 to avoid 
paying FY 2023 regulatory fees.
     International Services (Submarine Cable Systems, 
Terrestrial and Satellite Services): Regulatory fees for submarine 
cable systems are to be paid on a per cable landing license basis based 
on lit circuit capacity as of December 31, 2022. Regulatory fees for 
terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or 
leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2022 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, 2022. 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, 
2022, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or 
license as of the fee due date.
    96. 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 Table 6 and the CMRS regulatory fee rate. 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.
    97. A carrier wishing to revise its telephone number (subscriber) 
count can do so by accessing CORES and follow the prompts to revise 
their telephone number counts. Any revisions to the telephone number 
counts should be accompanied by an explanation or

[[Page 63709]]

supporting documentation. The Commission will then review the revised 
count and supporting documentation and either approve or disapprove the 
submission in CORES. 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 CORES. 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 CORES. A final CMRS assessment 
letter will not be mailed out.
    98. Because some carriers do not file the NRUF report, they may not 
see their telephone number counts in CORES. 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, 2022, 
and submit their fee payment accordingly. Whether a carrier reviews its 
telephone number counts in CORES 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.
    99. Effective Date. Providing a 30-day period after Federal 
Register publication before this Report and Order becomes effective as 
normally required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) will not allow sufficient time to 
collect the FY 2023 fees before FY 2023 ends on September 30, 2023. For 
this reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), we find there is good 
cause to waive the requirements of section 553(d), and this Report and 
Order will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. 
Because payments of the regulatory fees will not actually be due until 
late September, persons affected by the Report and Order will still 
have a reasonable period in which to make their payments and thereby 
comply with the rules established herein.
    100. People with Disabilities. To request materials in accessible 
formats for people with disabilities (braille, large print, electronic 
files, audio format), send an email to [email protected] or call the 
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at (202) 418-0530 (voice).

\1\ The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ``Rounded New FY 2023 Regulatory Fee'' constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class
  of service. The actual FY 2023 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 6.
\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 based on the threshold 10,001-25,000, the traditional basis for
  identifying the lowest licensed fee. 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

\4\ The chart at the end of Table 5 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 4 is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Table 5.

Table 6--Sources of Payment Unit Estimates for FY 2023

    In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2023, we 
adjusted FY 2022 payment units for each service to more accurately 
reflect expected FY 2023 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. As more current data is received after the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM) is released, the Commission sometimes adjusts the 
NPRM fee rates to reflect the new information in the Report and Order. 
This is intended to make sure that the fee rates in the Report and 
Order reflect more recent and accurate information. We realize that by 
adjusting the unit counts as more accurate information is received may 
adjust the fee rates for certain regulatory fee categories. Certain 
entities that collect the fees from customers in advance in order to 
pay the Commission, such as Cable and DBS companies, ITSP providers, 
Cell Phone and Toll-Free providers, to name a few, may need to adjust 
their billings to customers as the Commission adjusts its fee rates. As 
a result, the Commission understands that these adjustments are 
necessary so that these regulatees can recover their fee obligations 
from their customers.
    We sought verification for these estimates from multiple sources 
and, in all cases, we compared FY 2023 estimates with actual FY 2022 
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 2023 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 2023 payment units are based on FY 2022 
actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2023 
projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2022. We have either 
rounded the FY 2023 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these 
variables.

Table 7--Factors, Measurements, and Calculations That Determine Station 
Signal Contours and Associated Population Coverages

AM Stations

    For stations with nondirectional daytime antennas, the theoretical 
radiation was used at all azimuths. For stations with directional 
daytime antennas, specific information on each day tower, including 
field ratio, phase, spacing, and orientation was retrieved, as well as 
the theoretical pattern root-mean-square of the radiation in all 
directions in the horizontal plane (RMS) figure (milliVolt per meter 
(mV/m) @1 km) for the antenna system. The standard, or augmented 
standard if pertinent, horizontal plane radiation pattern was 
calculated using techniques and methods specified in sections 73.150 
and 73.152 of the Commission's rules. Radiation values were calculated 
for each of 360 radials around the transmitter site. Next, estimated 
soil conductivity data was retrieved from a database representing the 
information in FCC Figure R3. Using the calculated horizontal radiation 
values, and the retrieved soil conductivity data, the distance to the 
principal community (5 mV/m) contour was predicted for each of the 360 
radials. The resulting distance to principal community contours were 
used to form a geographical polygon. Population counting was 
accomplished by determining which 2020 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 2020 block centroids were contained in the polygon. 
The sum of the population figures for all enclosed blocks represents 
the total population for the predicted principal community coverage 
area.

V. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    101. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as 
amended (RFA), an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was 
included in the Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal 
Year 2023, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FY 2023 NPRM) released in 
June 2023. The Commission sought written public comment on the 
proposals in the FY 2023 NPRM, including comment on the IRFA. No 
comments were filed addressing the IRFA.

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

    102. In the Report and Order, we adopt a regulatory fee schedule to 
collect $390,192,000 in congressionally mandated regulatory fees for FY 
2023. Under section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
(Act or Communications Act), regulatory fees are mandated by Congress 
and collected to recover the regulatory costs associated with the 
Commission's oversight and regulatory activities in an amount that can 
be reasonably expected to equal the amount of the Commission's annual 
appropriation. The objective in 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 and/or regulation, with a fair, 
administrable and sustainable fee framework based on the number of 
full-time equivalents (FTEs) involved in such oversight and regulation 
in the licensing bureaus.
    103. In the FY 2023 NPRM, the Commission sought comment on the 
methodology for assessing regulatory fees and the FY 2023 regulatory 
fee schedule, as well as on other issues related to the collection of 
regulatory fees including: (i) the calculation of television and radio 
broadcaster regulatory fees, including the modification of the existing 
grid by adding a new tier for AM and FM radio stations; (ii) defining 
the category of operations for on-orbit servicing (OOS) and rendezvous 
and proximity operations (RPO)) (``In-Space Servicing'' Industries) for 
regulatory fee purposes, including whether a separate regulatory fee 
category is necessary and how to apply regulatory fees to OOS and RPO 
spacecraft specifically operating near the geostationary satellite 
orbit arc; (iii) evaluating how the Commission's proposals may promote 
or inhibit advances in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; 
(iv) considering whether to continue in FY 2023 several of the 
temporary measures the Commission implemented in FYs 2020 through 2022; 
and (v) whether to permit regulatory fee payors to prepay their 
regulatory fees in installments. For FY 2023, the Commission adopts, 
with modification, the regulatory fee schedule set forth in Appendices 
B and C to the Report and Order.

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

    104. There were no comments filed that specifically addressed the 
proposed rules and policies presented in the IRFA

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

    105. The Chief Counsel did not file any comments in response to the 
proposed rules in this proceeding.

[[Page 63742]]

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

    106. 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 rules adopted herein. The following entities may be 
affected by the Report and Order:
     Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers.
     Telecommunications Carriers.
     Competitive Local Exchange Carriers.
     Interexchange Carriers.
     Operator Service Providers.
     Local Resellers.
     Toll Resellers.
     Satellite Telecommunications.
     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 
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 ISPs) or Voice over internet Protocol 
services, via client-supplied telecommunications connections are also 
included in this industry.
     Television Broadcasting.
     Radio Stations.
     Cable Companies and Systems.
     Cable System Operators.
     Direct Broadcast Satellite Service.
     Responsible Organizations, or RespOrgs (also referred to 
as Toll-Free Number providers).
     Carrier RespOrgs.
     Wired Telecommunications Carriers.
     Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) 
engage in operating and maintaining switching and transmission 
facilities to provide communications via the airwaves.
     Other Management Consulting Services. This industry 
includes 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.

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

    107. The Report and Order does not adopt any new reporting, 
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements. Small and other 
regulated entities are required to pay regulatory fees on an annual 
basis. The cost of compliance with the annual regulatory fee assessment 
for small entities is the amount assessed for their regulatory fee 
category and should not require small entities to hire professionals in 
order to comply. Small entities that qualify can take advantage of the 
exemption from payment of regulatory fees allowed under the de minimis 
threshold. Small entities may request a waiver, reduction, deferral, 
and/or installment payment of their FY 2023 regulatory fees. The waiver 
process is an easier filing process for smaller entities that may not 
be familiar with our procedural filing rules.

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

    108. The RFA requires an agency to provide, ``a description of the 
steps the agency has taken to minimize the significant economic impact 
on small entities . . . including a statement of the factual, policy, 
and legal reasons for selecting the alternative adopted in the final 
rule and why each one of the other significant alternatives to the rule 
considered by the agency which affect the impact on small entities was 
rejected.
    109. The Report and Order for FY 2023 maintains several approaches 
from the prior regulatory fee framework which will minimize the 
significant economic impact for some small entities. Specifically, the 
FY 2023 regulatory fee framework maintains: (1) the methodology adopted 
using the population-based calculations for TV broadcasters that was 
initially adopted because it is a more fair methodology for smaller 
broadcasters; (2) the flexibility for regulatory payees to request a 
waiver, reduction, deferral and/or installment payments of their 
regulatory fees; and (3) the application of the Commission's de minimis 
threshold rule adopted pursuant to section 9(e)(2) of the Act, which 
exempts a regulatee 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 and provides relief to small and other entities with 
lower annual regulatory fees.
    110. The Commission received comments proposing alternatives to 
various elements of the methodology for assessing regulatory fees and 
the FY 2023 regulatory fee schedule that the Commission proposed in the 
FY 2023 NPRM, as well as other issues related to the collection of 
regulatory fees. Below we discuss a number of these proposals and why 
they were not adopted.
    111. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees and FTE Allocation. 
Satellite Operators suggested that instead of assessing regulatory fees 
on an annual basis, based on our annual appropriation, we should 
instead determine the allocation of regulatory fee costs associated 
with each non-application proceeding and identify its allocation in the 
document that initiates the proceeding. We rejected this proposal in 
the Report and Order because it is inconsistent with section 9 of the 
Act. We are required to conduct an annual regulatory fee proceeding 
each year, and to recover the annual appropriation. Further, this 
approach would fail to recover the Commission's entire appropriation on 
an annual basis, and would not be administratively feasible because we 
cannot assess the duration or impact of a proceeding in a manner that 
accurately correlates it to the burden of FTE time annually.
    112. Non-High Cost Universal Service Fund FTEs. The National 
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) proposed that we reallocate the 
burden of FTE time dedicated to non-high cost universal service fund 
issues as direct to a core bureau or bureaus. We declined to adopt 
NAB's suggested reallocation because it conflates the nature of the 
work of the Commission's FTEs with the identity of the entities that 
ultimately receive a subsidy from any particular program. The FTE time 
devoted to the non-high cost universal service programs is not in 
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors, but is oversight and 
management of the programs generally. The programs tie funding 
eligibility to the beneficiary, i.e., a school, a library, a low-income 
individual or family, or healthcare provider, and not to Commission 
regulatory fee payors.
    113. Other FTE Allocations: Office of Engineering and Technology, 
Enforcement Bureau, and Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. We 
rejected proposals that suggest that the burden of FTE time dedicated 
to equipment authorization should have its own fee category or be 
characterized as direct to any particular category of fee payor. OET 
FTEs benefit the work of the Commission as a whole and are not specific 
to any particular regulatory fee category. We also rejected Intelsat's

[[Page 63743]]

contention that fraud investigations by the Enforcement Bureau benefit 
their related industries, finding that the fraud investigations handled 
benefit consumers in general as well as other entities. Further, these 
investigations are primarily with respect to federally funded programs, 
and not specifically to benefit regulatory fee payors for any 
particular industry. We accepted NAB's proposal that for regulatory fee 
purposes, the burden of certain FTE time in the Media Bureau should be 
considered as indirect because it is devoted to enforcement 
responsibilities of the Commission's political programming rules, the 
cable and broadcast must carry rules, and the rules related to 
broadcast retransmission consent, among others. We agree, and in order 
to be consistent with the manner that we treat other enforcement 
efforts in the Commission, this FTE time should be reallocated as 
indirect for regulatory fee purposes.
    114. New Regulatory Fee Categories Discussed by Commenters. We do 
not have a sufficient basis, consistent with section 9 of the Act, for 
the adoption of new regulatory fee categories at this time, and 
therefore we rejected such proposals. There is no basis for the 
Commission to change its prior determinations on this issue that such 
fees would be unworkable and logistically infeasible to collect. 
Specifically, Satellite Operators proposed that we again seek comment 
on four fee categories: (i) broadband internet access providers, (ii) 
database administrators that enable unlicensed operations, (iii) 
equipment manufacturers, and (iv) experimental licenses. The Commission 
previously sought comment on these specific issues and as no additional 
information has been provided in the record to support such proposals, 
we are not adopting such categories in the Report and Order or seeking 
further comment on them. Although the Commission has adopted new fee 
categories in the past, in those instances the Commission determined 
that significant FTE resources of a core bureau were being spent on 
oversight and regulatory activities with respect to a specific service 
necessitating a new regulatory fee category. Those circumstances are 
not present here.
    115. Similarly, we rejected Intelsat and Satellite Coalition's 
proposal to adopt a regulatory fee for holders of experimental 
licenses. These licenses are approved for a proposed experiment or 
range of experiments, and not for an actual operational service under 
established service rules. It is likely we would have to consider 
multiple regulatory fee categories and multiple ways of allocating 
proportional fees to such categories. Accordingly, based on the record, 
we did not adopt a new regulatory fee category for broadband internet 
access providers, database administrators that enable unlicensed 
operations, equipment manufacturers, or experimental licenses.
    116. Space Station Regulatory Fees. We did not adopt a number of 
proposals to alter the allocated 80% of space station regulatory fees 
to geostationary orbit space stations (GSO) and 20% of the space 
station regulatory fees to non-geostationary orbit satellite systems 
(NGSO). Satellite Operators contended that we should not attribute only 
20% of the costs of regulating NGSO systems to ``less complex'' 
satellite systems (principally Earth Exploration Satellite Service 
(EESS) systems) and to maintain the dividing line of ``20 or fewer U.S. 
authorized earth stations'' between ``less complex'' NGSO systems and 
``other'' NGSO systems. Kin[eacute]is argued that defining only a 
single category of ``less complex'' systems, and defining them simply 
as systems designed to communicate with 20 or fewer U.S. authorized 
earth stations, is inadequate as the sole basis for distinguishing fee 
liability among myriad types of NGSO satellite systems.
    117. We did not find any reason to deviate from our calculation of 
fees using the 20/80 allocation in our review of the FTE time for space 
stations and for FY 2023. We used the 20/80 allocation between ``less 
complex'' and ``other'' NGSO space station fees, respectively, within 
the NGSO fee category. These allocations continue to accurately reflect 
the amount of work involved in regulating NGSO systems and the number 
of reasonably related benefits provided to the payors of each fee 
category. We are not convinced by the Satellite Operators that the FTE 
time spent on less complex and other NGSO systems issues has changed 
sufficiently to warrant a revision in the 20/80 allocation. We also 
rejected the contention of Space X that we miscalculated the space 
station regulatory fees because we based our calculations on nine NGSO 
systems instead of ten. We recognize that there are ten licensed 
systems; however one of the licensed systems is not yet operational, 
and hence should not be counted in the unit count.
    118. Further, we rejected Spaceflight's proposals for fee 
assessments for ``In-Space Servicing'' Industries. Due to the somewhat 
nascent nature of ``in-space servicing'' industries, we currently do 
not have a regulatory fee category for such spacecraft. As noted in the 
FY 23 NPRM, there have been a limited number of such operations and we 
tentatively concluded that it was 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. We accordingly deferred our 
determination of whether to create a new fee category for such services 
to a future fiscal year once the regulatory framework under which space 
stations performing in-space servicing operations, including OOS, RPO, 
space situational awareness (SSA), and space domain awareness (SDA) 
operations, and the scope of those operations, is better understood.
    119. Kin[eacute]is proposed that the Commission adopt a multi-
tiered approach to NGSO regulatory fees that would charge each provider 
an amount commensurate with its demands on Commission resources and the 
benefits it receives through regulation based on these enumerated 
factors, consistent with the Act. While we find the proposal to be 
useful, it requires further comment and evaluation. There is not time 
to fully consider this proposal prior to the need to adopt regulatory 
fees before the end of the current fiscal year. It will be more 
efficient to seek comment on proposals like this together with other 
proposals that might arise as part of the anticipated reexamination of 
regulatory fees for space and earth stations in light of the creation 
of the Space Bureau.
    120. International Bearer Circuit Regulatory Fees--Submarine Cable 
Systems. In the Report and Order the Commission rejected the Submarine 
Cable Coalition's request to revise the Commission's regulatory fee 
methodology for submarine cable operators, which is based upon the lit 
capacity of the fiber-optic submarine cable. We disagreed with the 
Submarine Cable Coalition's contention that the Commission's regulatory 
fee methodology is contrary to the Communications Act, and that the 
Commission has not developed regulatory fees that are reasonably 
related to the benefits provided. Moreover, we did not find persuasive 
its arguments that the Commission's assessment of these regulatory fees 
based on capacity is contrary to the Communications Act, and is not 
reasonably related to the benefits provided. The Commission has long 
held that capacity is a reasonable basis to assess regulatory costs 
among the submarine cable regulatory fee payors that benefit from the 
Commission's work, and find it reasonable to continue to assess higher 
regulatory fees on licensees with larger facilities that benefit more 
from the Commission's

[[Page 63744]]

work and thus should pay a larger proportion of the Commission's costs.

VI. Ordering Clauses

    121. 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.
    122. It is further ordered that the FY 2023 section 9 regulatory 
fees assessment requirements and the rules set forth in the Final Rules 
section are adopted as specified herein.
    123. It is further ordered that the Report and Order, except for 
portions containing information collection requirements in Sec.  1.1166 
and information collection requirements in Sec.  1.1914, shall be 
effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
    124. It is further ordered that the amendments to Sec.  1.1166 of 
the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1166, which were approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget, as required by the Paperwork Reduction 
Act, on August 17, 2023, shall be effective 30 days after publication 
of this summary in the Federal Register. The amendments to Sec.  1.1914 
of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1914, will not become effective 
until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register that the Office 
of Management and Budget has completed review of any information 
collection requirements that the Office of Managing Director determines 
is required under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Federal 
Communications Commission will publish a document in the Federal 
Register announcing the effective date of these provisions.

Regulatory fees for International Bearer Circuits are to be paid by 
facilities-based common carriers that have active (used or leased) 
international bearer circuits as of December 31 of the prior year in 
any terrestrial or satellite transmission facility for the provision of 
service to an end user or resale carrier, which includes active 
circuits to themselves or to their affiliates. In addition, non-common 
carrier terrestrial and satellite operators must pay a fee for each 
active circuit sold or leased to any customer, including themselves or 
their affiliates, other than an international common carrier authorized

3. Effective October 16, 2023 revise Sec.  1.1166 to read as follows:


Sec.  1.1166  Waivers, reductions and deferrals of regulatory fees.

    The fees established by Sec. Sec.  1.1152 through 1.1156 and 
associated interest charges and penalties may be waived, reduced or 
deferred in specific instances, on a case-by-case basis, where good 
cause is shown and where waiver, reduction or deferral of such fees, 
interest charges and penalties would promote the public interest. 
Requests to pay fees established by Sec. Sec.  1.1152 through 1.1156 
and associated interest charges and penalties in installments may be 
granted in accordance with Sec.  1.1914. Requests for waiver, reduction 
or deferral of regulatory fees for entire categories of payors will not 
be considered.
    (a) Requests for waiver, reduction or deferral of regulatory fees 
shall be filed electronically, by submission to the following email 
address: [email protected]. All requests for waiver, reduction and 
deferral shall be acted upon by the Managing Director with the 
concurrence of the General Counsel. All such requests made pursuant to 
Sec.  1.1166 may be combined in a single pleading.
    (b) Deferrals of fees, interest, or penalties if granted, will be 
for a designated period of time not to exceed six months.
    (c) Petitions for waiver of a regulatory fee, interest, or 
penalties must be accompanied by the required fee, interest, or 
penalties and FCC Form 159. Submitted fees, interest, or penalties will 
be returned if a waiver is granted. Waiver requests that do not include 
the required fees, interest, or penalties or forms will be dismissed 
unless a request to defer payment due to financial hardship, supported 
by documentation of the financial hardship, is included in the filing.
    (d) Petitions for reduction of a fee, interest, or penalty must be 
accompanied by the full fee, interest, or penalty payment and FCC Form 
159. Petitions for reduction that do not include the required fees, 
interest, or penalties or forms will be dismissed unless a request to 
defer payment due to financial hardship, supported by documentation of 
the financial hardship, is included in the filing.
    (e) Petitions for waiver of a fee, interest, or penalty based on 
financial hardship, including bankruptcy, will not be granted, even if 
otherwise consistent with Commission policy, to the extent that the 
total regulatory and application fees, interest, or penalties for which 
waiver is sought exceeds $500,000 in any fiscal year, including 
regulatory fees due in any fiscal year, but paid prior to the due date. 
In computing this amount, the amounts owed by an entity and its 
subsidiaries and other affiliated entities will be aggregated. In cases 
where the claim of financial hardship is not based on bankruptcy, 
waiver, partial waiver, or deferral of fees, interest, or penalties 
above the $500,000 cap may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

4. Delayed indefinitely, revise Sec.  1.1914 to read as follows:


Sec.  1.1914  Collection in installments.

    (a) Subject to the Commission's rules pertaining to the installment 
loan program (see e.g., Sec.  1.2110(g)), subpart Q or other agreements 
among the parties, the terms of which will control, whenever feasible, 
the Commission shall collect the total amount of a debt in one lump 
sum. If a debtor is financially unable to pay a debt in one lump sum, 
the Commission, in its sole discretion, may accept payment in regular 
installments. Requests for installment payment of non-regulatory fee 
debt shall be filed electronically, by submission to the following 
email address: [email protected]. Requests for installment 
payment of regulatory fees may be combined with other requests for 
regulatory fee relief in accordance with Sec.  1.1166(a) and shall be 
filed electronically by submission to [email protected]. The 
Commission will obtain financial statements from debtors who represent 
that they are unable to pay in one lump sum and which are able to 
verify independently such representations (see 31 CFR 902.2(g)). The 
Commission will require and obtain a legally enforceable written 
agreement from the debtor that specifies all of the terms of the 
arrangement, including, as appropriate, sureties and other indicia of 
creditworthiness (see Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, 2 U.S.C. 661, 
et seq., OMB Circular A-129), and that contains a provision 
accelerating the debt in the event of default.

[[Page 63748]]

    (b) The size and frequency of installment payments should bear a 
reasonable relation to the size of the debt and the debtor's ability to 
pay. If possible, the installment payments will be sufficient in size 
and frequency to liquidate the debt in three years or less.
    (c) Security for deferred payments will be obtained in appropriate 
cases. The Commission may accept installment payments notwithstanding 
the refusal of the debtor to execute a written agreement or to give 
security, at the Commission's option.
    (d) The Commission may deny the extension of credit to any debtor 
who fails to provide the records requested or fails to show an ability 
to pay the debt.
