I. Administrative Matters
5. Ex Parte Information. The proceeding initiated by this Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, in which we seek comment on proposals as described
below, shall be treated as a ``permit-but-disclose'' proceeding in
accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules. Persons making ex
parte presentations must file a copy of any written presentation or a
memorandum summarizing any oral presentation within two business days
after the presentation (unless a different deadline applicable to the
Sunshine period applies). Persons making oral ex parte presentations
are reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentation must (1) list
all persons attending or otherwise participating in the meeting at
which the ex parte presentation was made, and (2) summarize all data
presented and arguments made during the presentation. If the
presentation consisted in whole or in part of the presentation of data
or arguments already reflected in the presenter's written comments,
memoranda, or other filings in the proceeding, the presenter may
provide citations to such data or arguments in his or her prior
comments, memoranda, or other filings (specifying the relevant page
and/or paragraph numbers where such data or arguments can be found) in
lieu of summarizing them in the memorandum. Documents shown or given to
Commission staff during ex parte meetings are deemed to be written ex
parte presentations and must be filed consistent with section 1.1206(b)
of the Commission's rules. In proceedings governed by section 1.49(f)
of the Commission's rules or for which the Commission has made
available a method of electronic filing, written ex parte presentations
and memoranda summarizing oral ex parte presentations, and all
attachments thereto, must be filed through the electronic comment
filing system available for that proceeding, and must be filed in their
native format (e.g., .doc, .xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants
in this proceeding should familiarize themselves with the Commission's
ex parte rules.
6. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, as amended (RFA), requires that an agency prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis for notice and comment rulemakings, unless the
agency certifies that ``the rule will not, if promulgated, have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.''
[[Page 25433]]
Accordingly, we have prepared an Initial Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (IRFA) concerning the potential impact of rule and policy
changes contained in this NPRM. The IRFA is set forth in Section VI.
The Commission invites the general public, in particular small
businesses, to comment on the IRFA. Comments must be filed by the
deadlines for comments on the NPRM indicated on the first page of this
document and must have a separate and distinct heading designating them
as responses to the IRFA.
7. Paperwork Reduction Act. This document does not contain any
proposed new or substantively modified information collections 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. Sec. 3506(c)(4).
II. Introduction
8. Each fiscal year, the Commission is required to collect
regulatory fees in an amount equal to its annual salaries and expenses
(S&E) appropriation by the end of September. Pursuant to section 9 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act),
and the Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025, the Commission
must collect $390,192,000, which is an amount equal to its fiscal year
(FY) 2025 salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation. The Act requires
the Commission to assess and collect regulatory fees to recover the
costs of carrying out its activities in the total amounts provided for
in Appropriations Acts.
9. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), we propose and
seek comment on the regulatory fees and methodology to assess and
collect $390,192,000 in congressionally required regulatory fees for FY
2025, as set forth in Tables 3, 4, and 7. Consistent with the
Commission's long-standing regulatory fee methodology, staff has again
undertaken a high-level, yet comprehensive, analysis of the work being
performed by Commission employees to determine if identifiable full
time equivalent (FTE) time is related to the oversight and regulation
of fee payors such that it should be taken into consideration in
applying our fee methodology. Based upon this analysis, we propose to
increase the number of direct FTEs that are allocated to the licensing
bureaus. In particular, we propose reallocating 61 indirect FTEs as
direct FTEs to the Commission's core licensing bureaus. As described
fully below, such reallocations--which are substantially similar to the
Commission's determinations in fiscal years 2023 and 2024--reflect our
conclusion that we can determine that certain FTE work in the Office of
General Counsel, the Office of Economics and Analytics, and the Public
Safety and Homeland Security Bureau 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 a
core bureau for regulatory fee purposes for FY 2025.
10. Moreover, as explained more fully below, because we released a
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in February seeking comment on
whether the Commission should adjust the methodologies it uses to
assess fee rates for space and earth station payors, in this NPRM we
seek comment on proposed regulatory fees for space and earth station
fee payors under both existing and proposed methodologies. We also
propose to continue the Commission's past practice of calculating
television broadcaster regulatory fees using our methodology of
population-based full-service broadcast television regulatory fees as
set forth in Table 8.
III. Background
11. Section 9 of the Communications Act obligates the Commission to
assess and collect regulatory fees each year, totaling an amount that
can reasonably be expected to equal the amount of its annual S&E
appropriation. Fiscal year 2025 started on October 1, 2024, and ends on
September 30, 2025. The Commission's regulatory fee collection is
guided by both the statutory authority in sections 6 and 9 of the
Communications Act and the explicit language of each fiscal year's S&E
appropriation directing the amount to be collected as an offsetting
collection. Thus, the Commission has no discretion regarding the amount
of fees to be collected in any given fiscal year. Regulatory fees
recover all of the Commission's direct, indirect, and support costs,
including costs to cover statutorily required tasks that do not
directly equate with oversight and regulation of a particular
regulatee, but instead benefit the Commission and the industry as a
whole. Direct costs are those such as salaries and expenses; indirect
costs are those such as overhead functions; and support costs include
those such as rent, utilities, and equipment. Since regulatory fees
must recover the total amount of the Commission's appropriation, they
also must cover the costs incurred in oversight and regulation of: (1)
entities that are statutorily exempt from paying regulatory fees; (2)
entities whose total assessed annual regulatory fees fall below the
annual de minimis threshold; and (3) entities whose regulatory fees are
waived. Entities that are exempt from paying regulatory fees include
governmental and nonprofit entities, amateur radio operators, and
noncommercial radio and television stations.
12. Congress has prescribed a method for the Commission to collect
an amount equal to the full S&E appropriation in section 9 of the
Communications Act, keying the regulatory fee assessment to the
Commission's FTE burden. One FTE, a ``Full Time Equivalent'' or ``Full
Time Employee,'' is a unit of measure equal to the work performed
annually by a full-time person (working a 40-hour workweek for a full
year) assigned to the particular job, and subject to agency personnel
staffing limitations established by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget. In this proceeding, if we state 1.5 FTEs work on a particular
subject matter, that might mean three individuals spend 50% of their
time on that area. Moreover, in this NPRM, when we discuss FTEs and any
change in allocation, it is solely for regulatory fee purposes and does
not reflect proposals for the change of personnel in the various
organizational work units.
13. Specifically, the Commission's methodology for assessing
regulatory fees must ``reflect the full-time equivalent number of
employees within the Commission's bureaus and offices, adjusted to take
into account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits
provided to the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.'' As a
result, the fee assigned to each regulatory fee category relates to the
FTE burden associated with oversight and regulation of each regulatory
fee category by the relevant core bureaus (i.e., the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, the Media Bureau, most of the Wireline
Competition Bureau, part of the Office of International Affairs, and
most of the Space Bureau). The Commission has previously concluded that
allocating the work of FTEs in the Wireline Competition Bureau devoted
to non-high-cost Universal Service Fund programs as indirect is
consistent with how FTEs working for programs that benefit consumers,
and the American public are treated elsewhere in the Commission.
Similarly, the Commission has previously explained that most of the
work of OIA, including the work of
[[Page 25434]]
the Global Strategies and Negotiation Division, does not benefit a
specific fee payor, but rather the government as whole, and is
therefore appropriately categorized as indirect. The Commission does,
however, continue to categorize as direct the FTE work of OIA
concerning international bearer circuit issues, including the services
provided over submarine cables, determining that such FTE work is
direct.
14. Given that the total amount of the offsetting collection
generally changes each fiscal year, the regulatory fees due from payors
also typically change as a mathematical consequence of the total amount
that needs to be collected, the number of FTEs, and the projected unit
estimates for each regulatory fee category. As the Commission has
explained previously, because the Communication Act's explicit language
requires that fees must reflect FTEs, FTE counts are the most
administrable starting point for regulatory fee allocations, and
regulatory fees are based on the direct FTEs in core bureaus. Thus,
when considering changes, additions, or deletions to the regulatory fee
schedule, we focus on the direct FTE cost burden related to the
regulatory fee category at issue within each of the core licensing
bureaus.
15. Moreover, we do not assign direct FTEs within a bureau to
specific fee categories ``by rote or at random, but rather in a manner
that reflects the time spent by FTEs on a regulatory fee category,
which is in itself a reflection of ``benefit'' to the fee category.''
Thus, we apportion regulatory fees across fee categories based on the
number of direct FTEs in each core bureau to take into account factors
that are reasonably related to the payors' benefits. As a practical
matter, regulatory fees are a zero-sum game because the Commission must
collect the full amount of its appropriation each fiscal year. That is,
any decrease to the fees paid by one category of regulatory fee payors
necessitates an increase in fees paid by other categories of regulatory
fee payors.
16. Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Allocation and Fee Calculation. The
Commission allocates FTEs according to the nature of the work performed
by its different organizational units. If the work performed by a group
or office is directly related to the oversight and regulation of a
regulatory fee category or categories in one of the five core licensing
bureaus then those FTEs are considered to be direct FTEs. The
Commission has long relied on direct FTE allocations because it has
found those allocations best reflect the `benefits provided to the
payor of the fee by the Commission's activities. Work that cannot be
allocated to one of those regulatory fee categories is counted as an
indirect FTE. Under this framework, the Commission assesses the
allocation of FTEs by first determining the number of direct non-
auctions FTEs in each of the Commission's core bureaus. Other factors
the Commission takes into consideration include the annual
appropriation and the projected unit estimates. Regulatory fees are
initially apportioned across the regulatory fee categories based on the
number of direct FTEs in each core bureau whose time is focused on a
particular industry segment and then are adjusted ``to take into
account factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to
the payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.''
17. The FTE time devoted to developing and implementing the
Commission's spectrum auctions is not included in the calculation of
regulatory fees and is not offset by the collection of regulatory fees.
Thus, the Commission's methodology excludes all spectrum auction-
related FTEs and their overhead from the regulatory fee calculations.
To the extent that FTEs within the core bureaus spend a portion of
their time on auctions issues and a portion of their time on
appropriated issues, their time is split and only the non-auctions
portion of their time is reflected in the relevant core bureau's direct
FTE count.
18. Early in each fiscal year, the Human Resources Management
office identifies FTEs at the core bureau level and then staff validate
that data through consultation with the bureaus and offices to
determine the direct FTEs allocated to each of the five core bureaus.
After determining the number of direct FTEs for each core bureau, those
numbers are then used to calculate the corresponding percentage of the
total amount of regulatory fees to be collected for a given fiscal
year. Specifically, staff allocates appropriated amounts to be
recovered proportionally based on the number of direct FTEs within each
core bureau. The percentage for each core bureau is the number of
direct non-auction FTEs within the core bureau divided by the total
number of direct non-auction FTEs in the Commission. 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. Those proportions are then subdivided
and apportioned within each core bureau into fee categories among the
regulatees being served based on the time spent on each fee category.
Finally, within each regulatory fee category the amount to be collected
is divided by a unit count that allocates the regulatory fee payor's
proportionate share based on an objective measure.
19. Historically, the Commission has categorized the FTEs in the
Enforcement, Consumer and Governmental Affairs, and Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureaus along with some of the work in the Wireline
Competition and the former International Bureau as well as the work of
those in the Office of the Chair and the Commissioners' Offices and in
the Offices of the Managing Director, General Counsel, Inspector
General, Communications Business Opportunities, Engineering and
Technology, Legislative Affairs, Workplace Diversity, Media Relations,
Economics and Analytics, and Administrative Law Judges as indirect for
regulatory fee purposes. Indirect FTE time covers a wide range of
issues that include services that are not specifically correlated with
one core bureau, let alone one specific category of regulatory fee
payors. Indirect FTE work also includes matters that are not specific
to any regulatory fee category, and many Commission attorneys,
economists, engineers, analysts, and other staff work on a variety of
issues during a single fiscal year, which benefits the Commission, the
telecommunications industry, and the public.
20. Adjustments and Amendments to Regulatory Fee Schedule. By
statute, the Commission must annually establish a fee proceeding to
consider adjustments to the prior fee schedule to reflect unexpected
increases or decreases in the number of units subject to the payment of
such fees and result in the collection of the amount required by the
Commission's annual appropriation. For example, if the number of units
in a regulatory fee category increase, the amount due per unit may
decrease. This would also include proportionate increases in a given
fee category to reflect an overall increase in the annual FY
appropriation. Such changes are rarely the subject of dispute and are
usually addressed in the more ministerial changes to the fee schedule.
The Commission will also propose amendments to the fee schedule ``if it
determines that changes are necessary for the fees to reflect the full-
time equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of
the Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are
reasonably related to the benefits provided to the
[[Page 25435]]
payor of the fee by the Commission's activities.'' Pursuant to the Act,
the Commission must notify Congress immediately upon adoption of any
adjustment. The Act also requires the Commission to notify Congress at
least 90 days prior to making effective any amendments to the
regulatory fee schedule.
21. In implementing our statutory authority, we consider the
adoption of a new regulatory fee category or a change in an existing
regulatory fee category only when we develop a sufficient basis for
making the change, ensuring that our assessment of regulatory fees is
fair, administrable, and sustainable. The Commission has adopted new
regulatory fee categories and new methodologies for calculating
regulatory fees when there is a sufficient basis for doing so based on
the record, and under the relevant statutory provisions and precedent.
If we adopt any of the proposals in the FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM to adjust the methodologies used to assess space
and earth station regulatory fees, such changes will constitute
amendments to the schedule of regulatory fees and must be submitted to
Congress at least 90 days before becoming effective.
IV. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
22. In this NPRM, we propose and seek comment on regulatory fees
for FY 2025 as set forth in Tables 3, 4, and 7. We also seek comment on
our proposal to continue to calculate television broadcaster regulatory
fees using the Commission's methodology of population-based full-
service broadcast television regulatory fees. We note that we do not
consider any of the specific proposals we make in this NPRM to
constitute amendments to the schedule of regulatory fees or our
methodologies that would need to be submitted to Congress at least 90
days before becoming effective.
A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees
1. Methodology for Assessing Regulatory Fees
23. For FY 2025, we propose to collect $390,192,000 in regulatory
fees, which is equal to our annual salaries and expenses (S&E) FY 2025
appropriation. As explained above, section 9 of the Communications Act
requires us to set regulatory fees to ``reflect the full-time
equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the
Commission adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably
related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the
Commission's activities.'' Our first step in establishing our
regulatory fee schedule is identifying changes from the prior fiscal
year regulatory fee proceeding, e.g., changes in the (i) FY
appropriation, (ii) FTE levels, and (iii) relevant unit amounts for
each regulatory fee category. Our second step is to identify the number
of direct non-auction FTEs in each core bureau for purposes of the
regulatory fee calculation. The remaining non-auction FTEs and other
Commission costs are considered indirect and are not part of the
regulatory fee calculation. After we determine the number of direct
FTEs for each core bureau, we calculate the percentage of regulatory
fees that we will need to collect for the given fiscal year from each
regulatory fee category within each core bureau. These proportional
calculations allocate all Commission non-auction related costs across
all regulatory fee categories.
a. FTE Reallocations
24. Using the Commission's long-standing methodology to assess
regulatory fees, staff conducted a high level analysis of the time
utilized in the oversight and regulation of certain segments of the
telecommunications industry to propose regulatory fees for FY 2025,
which reflect the full-time equivalent number of employees within the
Commission's bureaus and offices, adjusted to take into account factors
that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of
the fee by the Commission's activities. Our proposals to reallocate
certain indirect FTEs as direct to one of the Commission's core
bureaus, explained fully below, reflect our conclusion that we can
determine, with reasonable accuracy for this fiscal year, that certain
FTE time from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Economics
and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is
devoted to work that is sufficiently linked to the oversight and
regulation of regulatory fee payors such that the FTE burden of that
work should be allocated as direct to a core bureau for regulatory fee
purposes.
25. Any proposals or comments requesting a change or modification
to our proposed methodology for FY 2025 should include a thorough
analysis showing a sufficient basis for making the change and provide
alternative options for the Commission to meet its statutory obligation
to collect the full amount of the appropriation by the end of the
fiscal year. Commenters should also indicate how such proposed
alternative options are fair, administrable, and sustainable.
b. Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fee Rates
26. In the recently released FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM, we continue to consider and seek further comment
on proposals made in connection with the FY 2024 Space and Earth
Station Regulatory Fees NPRM, to change the regulatory fee methodology
used to assess regulatory fees for space and earth station fee payors.
These proposals, which were not acted on in FY 2024, include: (1)
whether to assess regulatory fees on authorized, but not operational,
space and earth stations; (2) using an alternative methodology for
assessing space station regulatory fees; (3) establishing tiers within
existing NGSO space station fee categories based on the number of space
stations in the system; and (4) creating new categories of earth
station regulatory fees.
27. In today's NPRM, we propose and seek comment on regulatory fee
rates in Tables 3 and 4 based on our existing methodology, as well as
on proposed regulatory fee rates in Tables 7 that are based on the
various proposals set forth in the FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM. Our proposed space and earth station regulatory
fee rates are estimates because final space and earth station
regulatory fee rates are dependent upon the outcome of the FY 2025
Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM proceeding. We also
recognize that there could be a combination of the proposals based upon
commenters' feedback and the outcome of the FY 2025 Space and Earth
Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM. Accordingly, we are not seeking comment
again in this proceeding on the specific proposals to adjust our
existing methodology for assessing space and earth station regulatory
fees, or to adopt an alternative methodology for assessing space
station regulatory fees, which are set forth in the FY 2025 Space and
Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM. Comments pertaining to the
proposals set forth in the Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees
FNPRM regarding the categories and allocation of fees for space and
earth stations should not be submitted again in response to this NPRM.
In this item, we specifically seek comment on the proposed regulatory
fee rates for space and earth station payors for FY 2025 based on our
existing methodology and on the proposals set forth in the Space and
Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM. As examples, commenters in
response to this NPRM could address the specific proposed rates
calculated for a category of fee payor or the
[[Page 25436]]
accuracy of the estimated number of units of fee payors in a specific
category.
28. We seek comment on the adjusted schedule of regulatory fees for
space and earth station payors, as proposed in Tables 3 and 4. These
rates are based on the existing categories of space and earth station
fee payors contained in section 1.1156 of the Commission's rules for
space and international services. There are four current categories of
space station payors: (1) Space Stations (Geostationary Orbit, GSO);
(2) Space Stations (Non-Geostationary Orbit, NGSO)--Less Complex; (3)
Space Stations (Non-Geostationary Orbit)--Other; and (4) Space Station
(Small Satellites). ``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).
``Small Satellites'' are space stations licensed pursuant to the
streamlined small satellite process contained in section 25.122 of the
Commission's rules. The Space Stations (Small Satellites) category also
includes ``small spacecraft'' licensed pursuant to the analogous
streamlined procedures of section 25.123 of the rules. In addition,
there is a single category of earth station payors--Earth Stations:
Transmit/Receive & Transmit only. Since our fiscal year 2020
proceeding, non-U.S. licensed space stations granted market access to
the United States through a Petition for Declaratory Ruling or through
earth station licenses are subject to regulatory fees. Beginning in FY
2024, space stations that are principally used for Rendezvous and
Proximity Operations (RPO), On-Orbit Servicing (OOS), including Orbital
Transfer Vehicles (OTV), are included in the existing fee category for
``small satellites'' on an interim basis.
29. Under the existing methodology of calculating regulatory fees
for space and earth station payors, the Commission multiplies the space
station and earth station FTE allocation percentages by the target goal
of collections (overall total amount to collect), respectively, to
determine the amount to be collected from each regulatory fee category.
In the FY 2024 Second Report and Order, the Commission adjusted the
split of space station allocation percentages between the GSO and NGSO
regulatory fee categories to 60/40, respectively, because the
Commission found it more accurately reflected the current FTE work in
these two categories of regulatory fee payors. The amount to be
collected by the space station and earth station regulatory fee
categories divided by the projected number of units determines the fee
rate. There are several space station regulatory fee categories--GSO,
NGSO ``other,'' NGSO ``less complex,'' and small satellites--and each
of these regulatory fee categories has its own respective FTE
allocation percentage to determine the fee rate. In the FY 2024 Space
Station Regulatory Fees Order, the Commission adopted the proposal to
set the regulatory fee for small satellites for FY 2024 at the level
set for FY 2023, i.e., $12,215, with future annual adjustments to
reflect the percentage change in the Commission's annual appropriation,
unit count, and FTE allocation percentage from the previous fiscal
year. The Commission implemented these changes to the methodology for
regulatory fees in the FY 2024 Second Report and Order. Accordingly,
under the existing methodology, we propose to assess the small
satellite fee for FY 2025 at $12,330. We calculate the proposed
regulatory fees for space and earth station payors for FY 2025 under
this methodology in Tables 3 and 4, taking into account our estimate of
the Commission's S&E appropriation for FY 2025. We seek comment on
these proposed regulatory fees if the Commission employs its existing
methodologies for FY 2025.
30. However, if proposals made in the FY 2025 Space and Earth
Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM to change the existing methodology are
adopted, in part or in whole, and become effective for FY 2025, the
resulting possible space and earth station regulatory fees could change
substantially. For example, if the proposal is adopted to assess
regulatory fees on authorized, not just operational, space stations, it
may increase the number of units of space station payors, which in turn
could decrease the calculated per-unit regulatory fee for GSO and NGSO
space station payors. This change could assess fees on space station
regulatees that may not be assessed regulatory fees under the existing
methodology. In FY 2024, the Commission adopted its proposal to
apportion regulatory fees between earth and space station payors based
on the percentage of direct FTEs involved in the licensing and
regulation of each category, which led to an the increase of earth
station regulatory fees to $2,610 for FY 2024. At the same time, the
Commission has recently proposed an alternative methodology for
assessing regulatory fees in the FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM that would replace the existing four categories
of space station regulatory fees for GSO and NGSO space stations with a
single fee category for all space stations and a fee for small
satellites. If adopted, this would also substantially change the
regulatory fees calculated for FY 2025 under the existing methodology.
31. We recognize that the FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM proceeding is still ongoing and it is unknown
whether any of the proposals will be adopted in whole or in part in
time to be effective for FY 2025. In addition, the number of units per
fee category also depends on whether certain proposals in the Space and
Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNRPM are adopted and may impact the
regulatory fee rates adopted in this proceeding in a subsequent Report
and Order. Accordingly, we explain, as part of our calculations within
Table 7, the methodology and the underlying assumptions for arriving at
the calculated regulatory fees for the proposals in the FY 2025 Space
and Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM in order to provide as much
information as reasonably possible at this time to potential
commenters. We seek comment on these calculations and the methodology
and underlying assumptions that went into them.
2. Adjustment of Reallocations of Certain Indirect FTEs as Direct FTEs
32. According to information provided by our Human Resources
Management office, at the start of FY 2025, there were 384.5 direct
non-auctions FTEs that are distributed among the core licensing
bureaus. With respect to the indirect FTE time in the non-core bureaus
and offices, staff has undertaken a high-level, yet comprehensive
analysis of the work being performed by non-auctions FTEs in the Office
of Economics and Analytics, Office of General Counsel, and Office of
Engineering and Technology as well as the Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau, Enforcement Bureau and the Consumer and Governmental
Affairs Bureau (and other bureaus and offices) to determine if
identifiable time of any of those FTEs is related to the oversight and
regulation of fee payors such that it should be taken into
consideration in applying our fee methodology. In other words, staff
has examined and validated the data to determine whether any indirect
FTE time in the non-core bureaus and offices should be reallocated to
be considered as direct FTE time to a core bureau.
33. As discussed herein, based on staff analysis, which is
reasonably accurate for FY 2025, we propose to reallocate 63 indirect
FTEs from the
[[Page 25437]]
Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and
the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as direct FTEs to core
bureaus because, as the Commission concluded in FY 2024 and FY 2023,
the nature of their work remains primarily related to the oversight and
regulation of fee payors. Additionally, consistent with the
Commission's determination for the past two fiscal years, we propose to
reallocate two direct FTEs from the Media Bureau to be 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
previously been categorized as indirect. These reallocations result in
an overall proposed increase of 61 indirect FTEs being reallocated as
direct FTEs to core bureaus. We find that these proposed reallocations
are consistent with section 9 of the Communications Act, which requires
us to determine regulatory fees based on FTEs.
34. As the Commission explained in the FY 2023 Report and Order,
the nature of the work of the FTEs in its non-core bureaus and offices
is generally categorized as indirect. For example, the Office of
Engineering and Technology provides engineering and technical expertise
to the agency as a whole and supports each of the agency's core
bureaus. Likewise, the Enforcement Bureau FTE oversight is focused on
the integrity of Commission's rules and ensuring the implementation of
the Commission's Act, which is work that benefits the agency as a whole
and the American public, and not one particular group of regulatory fee
payors. Similarly, the work of FTEs in the Consumer and Governmental
Affairs Bureau is primarily devoted to developing and implementing
consumer policies as required by the Communications Act, including
disability rights, consumer education, processing informal complaints,
outreach to state, local, and Tribal governments, and oversight more
generally of the telecommunications industry (e.g., establishing and
oversight of the Reassigned Numbers Database). In sum, the Commission
has found it would not be equitable for any one regulatory fee group of
payors to shoulder the FTE burden of indirect work. Nothing in the
proposals we offer today changes those prior general determinations. In
this NPRM, we propose regulatory fee rates in Tables 3 and 4, based on
our existing methodology incorporating these proposals. We seek comment
on our proposals.
35. As demonstrated in Tables 1 and 2 below, we propose to
reallocate a sum total of 61 indirect FTEs, to be distributed as
described below. Based on these proposed reallocations and after
adjustments are made to the direct FTE counts to implement Commission
precedent, we would have a total of 445.5 non-auctions direct FTEs for
FY 2025, and we would collect approximately $7.039 million (1.80%) in
fees from the Office of International Affairs regulatory fee payors;
$44.872 million (11.50%) in fees from the Space Bureau regulatory fee
payors; $105.582 million (27.06%) in fees from Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau regulatory fee payors; $116.580 million
(29.88%%) in fees from Wireline Competition Bureau regulatory fee
payors; and $116.119 million (29.76%) in fees from Media Bureau
regulatory fee payors.

* Figures may not add up to column totals due to rounding.
36. Our proposals to reallocate indirect FTEs relies on staff's
validation of the data and the same analysis employed in FY 2023 and FY
2024 evaluating whether measurable FTE time for FY 2025 is primarily
being spent on the regulation and oversight of regulatory fee payors
such that it should be considered as direct to a core bureau.
Specifically, where the amount of work under consideration equaled .5
FTE or less, we rounded down to the nearest whole FTE and only proposed
our reallocations in one full FTE increments. In analyzing the work of
indirect FTEs in the non-core bureaus, we applied conservative
estimates. The Commission previously concluded that less than a full-
time FTE demonstrates that the work being done is appropriately
considered to be indirect and should not be reassigned.
37. Based upon our analysis of the data, some FTE time in the
Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General Counsel, and
the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is being primarily spent
on the regulation and oversight and regulation of regulatory fee
payors. Similar to the last two years, we therefore propose that 63
indirect FTEs should be reallocated as direct FTEs to a core bureau.
Additionally, consistent with past practice, we propose to reallocate
two direct FTEs from the Media Bureau as indirect because the nature of
their work is sufficiently linked to work that is similar to that
performed in the Enforcement Bureau, which has previously been
categorized as indirect. We therefore propose reallocating the sum
total of 61 indirect FTE time to direct to a relevant core bureaus and
office for calculating regulatory fees. Below, we discuss our analysis
for the Office of Economics and Analytics, the Office of General
Counsel, and the
[[Page 25438]]
Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
38. Office of Economics and Analytics (OEA) FTEs. The Commission
historically has concluded that it is appropriate for the non-auctions
FTEs in OEA to be considered indirect FTEs because their work benefits
the Commission and the telecommunications industry and does not
specifically focus on regulatory fee payors. As a general matter, OEA
is responsible for expanding and strengthening the use of economic
analysis in Commission policy making, for enhancing the development and
use of auctions, and for implementing consistent and effective agency-
wide data practices and policies. Specifically, OEA (a) provides
economic analysis, including cost-benefit analysis, for rulemakings,
transactions, adjudications, and other Commission actions; (b) manages
Commission auctions in support of and in coordination with other
bureaus and offices; (c) 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 (d) conducts long-term research on ways to improve the
Commission's policies and processes in each of these areas. As the
Commission has recognized the last two fiscal years, however, there is
measurable FTE time in OEA that is done directly in furtherance of the
oversight and regulation of regulatory fee payors in certain industry
segments.
39. For FY 2025, as was the case in FY 2024, based on staff review
of the data, we propose to reallocate 29 indirect FTEs from OEA as
direct to a core bureau for regulatory fee purposes as follows: one to
the Space Bureau, eight to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 13
to the Wireline Competition Bureau, and seven to the Media Bureau. We
seek comment on this proposed reallocation.
40. Office of General Counsel (OGC) FTEs. As explained in prior
regulatory fee proceedings, much of the work of the OGC, as represented
by FTE allocations, is considered to be indirect. 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.
41. As the Commission has found in the past two years, however, we
believe that certain aspects of OGC's work are sufficiently linked to
the oversight and regulation of individual regulatory fee categories
that the associated FTEs could properly be considered direct FTEs for
such regulatory fee categories. For FY 2025, after staff evaluation of
the data, we propose that four indirect FTEs from OGC should be
reallocated as direct FTEs to a relevant core bureau for regulatory
purposes. Specifically, based on the substance of the work that is
being done directly in furtherance of the oversight and regulation of
regulatory fee payors in certain industry segments for FY 2025, we
propose to reallocate four indirect FTEs as direct to a core bureau
follows: one to the Wireline Competition Bureau, one to the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (instead of two as in FY 2024), one to the
Space Bureau (new for this year), and one to the Media Bureau. We seek
comment on this proposed reallocation for FY 2025.
42. Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) FTEs. The
work of the PSHSB, as represented by FTE allocations, also has been
largely considered to be indirect in prior regulatory fee proceedings.
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. PSHSB 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; thus, the majority of the work of its FTEs is best
categorized as indirect. We conclude, however, as the Commission did in
FY 2024 and FY 2023, that based on substantive work that is being done
directly in furtherance of the oversight and regulation of regulatory
fee payors in certain industry segments for FY 2025, it is appropriate
to reallocate 30 indirect FTEs from PSHSB as direct to a core bureau
for regulatory fee purposes as follows: 14 to the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, nine to the Wireline Competition Bureau, and
seven to the Media Bureau. We seek comment on this proposed
reallocation.
43. Conclusion of the Proposal to Reallocate Certain Indirect FTEs
from OEA, OGC, and PSHSB as Direct FTEs to a Relevant Core Bureau. As
represented above, FTE time associated with the proposed reallocations
for regulatory fee purposes would be added to the direct FTE totals for
a relevant core bureau. In other words, this proposed reallocation of
indirect FTEs would result in increasing the number of direct FTEs in a
core bureau and reducing the total number of indirect FTEs within the
Commission. Because our underlying methodology for calculating
regulatory fees remains unchanged, we conclude that our fee regulatory
fee calculation continues to be consistent with section 9 of the
Communications Act, which requires us to base our methodology on the
number of FTEs in calculating regulatory fees. We seek comment on this
conclusion.
44. We continue to be mindful that our consideration of the work of
FTEs as direct or indirect can change over time based on our evaluation
of the FTE burden associated with the Commission's work assignments,
fluctuations within industry segments, and needs of specific regulatory
fee payors. Table 2 shows the percentage of regulatory fees allocated
to each core bureau based on the proposed reallocation of a total of 61
indirect FTEs as direct to a core bureau, as discussed above. Such FTE
reallocations, for regulatory fee purposes, would be proportionally
distributed within the core bureau. We seek comment on these
reallocations for FY 2025.
45. As reflected in Table 2 below, our proposals reallocate the sum
total of 61 indirect FTEs as direct for regulatory fee purposes in FY
2025, resulting in a 15.9% increase in our overall direct FTE count for
FY 2025, and a decrease of 4.25% in the overall direct FTE count from
FY 2024. We make these proposals consistent with our long-standing
regulatory fee methodology and based upon our determinations, which are
reasonably accurate for fiscal year 2025. We seek comment on our
proposals and this tentative conclusion.

46. Any proposals or comments requesting a change or modification
to these proposed regulatory fees for FY 2025 should include a thorough
analysis showing a sufficient basis for making the change and provide
alternative options for the Commission to meet its statutory obligation
to collect the full amount of the appropriation by the end of the
fiscal year. Commenters should also indicate how such proposed
alternative options are fair, administrable, and sustainable.
B. Broadcast Television Stations
47. For FY 2025, we propose to continue to assess fees for full-
power broadcast television stations based on the population covered by
a full-service broadcast television station's contour as the Commission
has since 2020. Previously, from approximately 1995 through 2018,
regulatory fees for full-power television stations were based on the
Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA) groupings 1-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-
100, and remaining markets (DMAs 101-210). The population-based
methodology conforms with the service authorized here--broadcasting
television to the American people. We further propose to continue our
use of 2020 U.S. Census data to assess fees for full-power broadcast
television stations, as we traditionally have over the last few years.
The population data for broadcasters' service areas are determined
using the TVStudy software and the Licensing and Management System
(LMS) database, based on a station's projected noise-limited service
contour. However, consistent with the Commission's decision in FY 2024,
we will continue to base assessments on limiting the population count
of full-power television stations that rely on satellite television
stations to reach terrain-limited areas in Puerto Rico. As previously
implemented, the Commission based assessments on a full-power
television station and its satellite facility on a maximum of 3.1
million population. Hence, the maximum fee amount that will be paid by
a full-power TV station and its associated satellite facility together
is 3.1 million times .006379 (the fee rate) = $19,774). We seek comment
on our mechanism for how we will calculate the regulatory fee based on
the previously decided population-based methodology. We propose
adopting a factor of $.006379 per population served for the FY 2025
full-power broadcast television station fee. The population data for
each licensee and the population-based fee (population multiplied by
$.006379 for each full-power broadcast television station) are listed
in Table 8. We seek comment on these proposed fees.
C. Improving the Regulatory Fees Process
48. We have a statutory obligation to assess and collect regulatory
fees each fiscal year in an amount equal to the Commission's annual S&E
appropriation. We seek additional comment on ``whether we should adopt
new regulatory fee categories and on ways to improve our regulatory fee
process regarding any and all categories of service.'' We ask that
commenters explain the legal bases for any proposals they make and how
such proposals fit within the Commission's statutory authority and our
existing regulatory fee methodology. We invite additional comment to
help inform our consideration of these issues.
V. Procedural Matters
49. Included below are procedural items as well as our current
payment and collection methods. We include these payments and
collection procedures to remind regulatory fee payers and the public
about these aspects of the annual regulatory fee collection process.
50. Credit Card Transaction Levels. In accordance with Treasury
Financial Manual, Volume I, Part 5, Chapter 7000, Section 7065.20a--
Credit Card Collections, the total daily credit card transactions
processed from a single customer can be no more than $24,999.99
(hereinafter the ``Maximum Daily Limit'') and the total monthly
transactions processed from a single customer (based on a rolling 30-
day period) can be no more than $100,000.00 (hereinafter the ``Maximum
Monthly Limit''). Transactions greater than the Maximum Limits will be
rejected. If a customer initiates multiple
[[Page 25440]]
transactions on the same day with the same credit card, those
transactions causing the total charge to exceed the Maximum Limits will
also be rejected. This 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
debit cards, Automates Clearing House (ACH) debits from a bank account,
and wire transfers. Each of these payment options is available after
filing regulatory fee information in the Commission's Registration
System (CORES). Further details will be provided regarding payment
methods and procedures at the time of FY 2025 regulatory fee collection
in Fact Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees.
51. 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 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.
52. 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, 2024 for
AM/FM radio stations, full-power VHF/UHF broadcast television stations,
and satellite television stations. Regulatory fees must be paid for all
broadcast facility licenses granted on or before October 1, 2024.
Wireline (Common Carrier) Services: Regulatory fees must
be paid for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1,
2024. In instances where an authorization is transferred or assigned
after October 1, 2024, responsibility for payment rests with the holder
of the authorization as of the fee due date. Audio bridging service
providers are included in this category. For Responsible Organizations
(RespOrgs) that manage Toll Free Numbers (TFN), regulatory fees should
be paid on all working, assigned, and reserved toll free numbers as
well as toll free numbers in any other status as defined in section
52.103 of the Commission's rules. The unit count should be based on
toll free numbers managed by RespOrgs on or about December 31, 2024.
Wireless Services: Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS)
cellular, mobile, and messaging services (fees based on number of
subscribers or telephone number count): Regulatory fees must be paid
for authorizations that were granted on or before October 1, 2024. The
number of subscribers, units, or telephone numbers on December 31, 2024
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, 2024, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of
the permit or license as of the fee due date.
Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: The first eight
regulatory fee categories in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees (first
seven in our Calculation of Fees in Table 4) pay ``small multi-year
wireless regulatory fees.'' Entities pay these regulatory fees in
advance for the entire amount period covered by the five-year or ten-
year terms of their initial licenses and pay regulatory fees again only
when the license is renewed, or a new license is obtained. We include
these fee categories in our rulemaking to publicize our estimates of
the number of ``small multi-year wireless'' licenses that will be
renewed or newly obtained in FY 2025.
Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) Services
(cable television operators, Cable Television Relay Service (CARS)
licensees, DBS, and IPTV): Regulatory fees must be paid for the number
of basic cable television subscribers as of December 31, 2024.
Regulatory fees also must be paid for CARS licenses that were granted
on or before October 1, 2024. In instances where a permit or license is
transferred or assigned after October 1, 2024, 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, 2024. In instances where a permit or license is transferred or
assigned after October 1, 2024, responsibility for payment rests with
the holder of the permit or license as of the fee due date.
International Services: Regulatory fees must be paid for
earth stations that were licensed (or authorized) on or before October
1, 2024. Regulatory fees must also be paid for geostationary orbit
space stations (GSO) and non-geostationary orbit satellite systems
(NGSO), and the two NGSO subcategories ``Other'' and ``Less Complex,''
that were licensed and operational on or before October 1, 2024.
Licensees of small satellites that were licensed and operational on or
before October 1, 2024 must also pay regulatory fees. In instances
where a permit or license is transferred or assigned after October 1,
2024, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or
license as of the fee due date. Proposals also have been made to assess
regulatory fees on all space stations that are authorized only (earth
stations are feeable when they become licensed or authorized).
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, 2023. Regulatory fees for
terrestrial and satellite IBCs are to be paid based on active (used or
leased) international bearer circuits as of December 31, 2023, 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, 2023. 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,
2023, responsibility for payment rests with the holder of the permit or
license as of the fee due date.
53. CMRS and Mobile Services Assessments. The Commission will
compile data from the Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF)
[[Page 25441]]
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 3 and the CMRS regulatory fee factor proposed in Table 4. CMRS
provider regulatory fees will be calculated and should be paid based on
the inclusion of non-geographic numbers. CMRS providers can adjust the
total number of subscribers, if needed. This information of telephone
numbers (subscriber count) will be posted on CORES along with the
carrier's Operating Company Numbers (OCNs).
54. A carrier wishing to revise its telephone number (subscriber)
count can do so by accessing CORES and following the prompts to revise
their telephone number counts. Any revisions to the telephone number
counts should be accompanied by an explanation. The Commission will
then review the revised count and supporting explanation, if any, 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 supporting documentation. If the Commission receives no
response from the provider, or the Commission does not reverse its
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.
55. 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, 2024),
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. If the Commission determines that a carrier paid CMRS or
mobile services regulatory fees based on an incorrect number of
telephone numbers, the Commission will bill the carrier for the
difference between what was paid and what should have been paid.

Notes on Table 3
\1\ The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ``Rounded FY 2025 Reg. Fee'' are the result of dividing the revenue requirement by the payment units
of each radio class category. The actual FY 2025 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 4.
\2\ The AM and FM Construction Permit revenues and the full-power (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 full-power (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues, and in the AM and FM Construction
Permit revenues, were offset by increases in the revenue totals for full-power television stations by market size, and in the AM and FM radio stations
by class size and population served, respectively.
\3\ The MDS/MMDS category was renamed Broadband Radio Service (BRS). See Amendment of Parts 1, 21, 73, 74 and 101 of the Commission's Rules to
Facilitate the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, Educational and Other Advanced Services in the 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 MHz Bands,
Report & Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6 (2004).
\4\ The chart at the end of Table 4 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 3 is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Table 4.
\5\ The actual full-power television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Table 8.

Table 5--Sources of Payment Unit Estimates for FY 2025
In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2025, we
adjusted FY 2024 payment units for each service to more accurately
reflect expected FY 2025 payment liabilities. We obtained our updated
estimates through a variety of means and sources. For example, we used
Commission licensee databases, 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), 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 are received after the 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, 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 2025 estimates with actual FY 2024
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 2025 and the fact that, in many services, the
number of actual licensees or station operators fluctuates over time
due to economic, technical, or other reasons. When we note, for
example, that our estimated FY 2025 payment units are based on FY 2024
actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2025
projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2024. We have either
rounded the FY 2025 number or adjusted it slightly to account for these
variables.

Table 6--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.

Table B--FY 2025 Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees Calculations
if Proposals To Amend the Existing Fee Methodology Are Adopted and
Effective
The following chart provides an analysis of potential regulatory
fees for space and earth stations for FY 2025 assuming the proposal to
amend the existing methodology by creating tiers of ``small'' and
``large'' constellations within the NGSO space station ``other'' fee
category, as described in the Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, is adopted and effective for FY
2025. This proposal includes the creation of new fee categories for
Large and Small Constellations in the NGSO ``other'' category and
assessment of fees on authorized, not just operational, space stations.
It assumes the same number of earth station payors in FY 2025 as there
were in FY 2024 (2900 units). It does not incorporate the proposals
included in the alternative methodology.

VI. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended
(RFA), the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has prepared
this Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) of the policies and
rules proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) assessing
the possible significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. The Commission requests written public comments on this
IRFA. Comments must be identified as responses to the IRFA and must be
filed by the deadlines for comments on the NPRM. The Commission will
send a copy of the NPRM, including this IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration (SBA). In addition, the
NPRM and IRFA (or summaries thereof) will be published in the Federal
Register.
A. Need for, and Objectives of, the Proposed Rules
57. Each fiscal year, the Commission is required to collect
regulatory fees in an amount equal to our annual salaries and expenses
(S&E) appropriation by the end of September. Pursuant to section 9 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act),
and the Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025 the Commission
must collect $390,192,000, which is an amount equal to its fiscal year
(FY) 2025 salaries and expenses (S&E) appropriation. The Commission's
methodology for assessing regulatory fees must ``reflect the full-time
equivalent number of employees within the bureaus and offices of the
Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably
related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the
Commission's
[[Page 25477]]
activities.'' The total amount the Commission must collect in an
offsetting collection generally changes each fiscal year, and payors'
regulatory fees will also typically change each fiscal year as a
mathematical consequence of the changes in the total amount to be
collected, the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs), and projected
unit estimates for each regulatory fee category. The NPRM seeks comment
on the proposed regulatory fees and methodology for FY 2025, as set
forth in Tables 3, 4, and 7. The NPRM also seeks comment on the
calculation of television broadcaster regulatory fees as set forth in
Table 8. Finally, the Commission seeks comment on whether any new
regulatory fee categories or processes will improve its ability to meet
its statutory obligations to assess and collect regulatory fees.
B. Legal Basis
58. The proposed action is authorized pursuant to sections 4(i),
4(j), 9, 9A, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 159, 159A, and 303(r).
C. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which
the Proposed Rules Will Apply
59. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of and, where
feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be
affected by the proposed rules, if adopted. The RFA generally defines
the term ``small entity'' as having the same meaning as the terms
``small business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small governmental
jurisdiction.'' In addition, the term ``small business'' has the same
meaning as the term ``small business concern'' under the Small Business
Act. A ``small business concern'' is one which: (1) is independently
owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and
(3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the SBA.
60. Small Businesses, Small Organizations, Small Governmental
Jurisdictions. Our actions, over time, may affect small entities that
are not easily categorized at present. We therefore describe, at the
outset, three broad groups of small entities that could be directly
affected herein. First, while there are industry specific size
standards for small businesses that are used in the regulatory
flexibility analysis, according to data from the Small Business
Administration's (SBA) Office of Advocacy, in general a small business
is an independent business having fewer than 500 employees. These types
of small businesses represent 99.9% of all businesses in the United
States, which translates to 34.75 million businesses.
61. Next, the type of small entity described as a ``small
organization'' is generally ``any not-for-profit enterprise which is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.''
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses a revenue benchmark of $50,000
or less to delineate its annual electronic filing requirements for
small exempt organizations. Nationwide, for tax year 2022, there were
approximately 530,109 small exempt organizations in the U.S. reporting
revenues of $50,000 or less according to the registration and tax data
for exempt organizations available from the IRS.
62. Finally, the small entity described as a ``small governmental
jurisdiction'' is defined generally as ``governments of cities,
counties, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special
districts, with a population of less than fifty thousand.'' U.S. Census
Bureau data from the 2022 Census of Governments indicate there were
90,837 local governmental jurisdictions consisting of general purpose
governments and special purpose governments in the United States. Of
this number, there were 36,845 general purpose governments (county,
municipal, and town or township) with populations of less than 50,000
and 11,879 special purpose governments (independent school districts)
with enrollment populations of less than 50,000. Accordingly, based on
the 2022 U.S. Census of Governments data, we estimate that at least
48,724 entities fall into the category of ``small governmental
jurisdictions.''
63. Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The U.S. Census Bureau
defines this industry as establishments primarily engaged in operating
and/or providing access to transmission facilities and infrastructure
that they own and/or lease for the transmission of voice, data, text,
sound, and video using wired communications networks. Transmission
facilities may be based on a single technology or a combination of
technologies. Establishments in this industry use the wired
telecommunications network facilities that they operate to provide a
variety of services, such as wired telephony services, including VoIP
services, wired (cable) audio and video programming distribution, and
wired broadband internet services. By exception, establishments
providing satellite television distribution services using facilities
and infrastructure that they operate are included in this industry.
Wired Telecommunications Carriers are also referred to as wireline
carriers or fixed local service providers.
64. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there
were 3,054 firms that operated in this industry for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 4,590 providers
that reported they were engaged in the provision of fixed local
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 4,146
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
65. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Neither the Commission nor the
SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically
applicable to local exchange services. Providers of these services
include both incumbent and competitive local exchange service
providers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the closest industry
with an SBA small business size standard. Wired Telecommunications
Carriers are also referred to as wireline carriers or fixed local
service providers. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there
were 3,054 firms that operated in this industry for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 4,590 providers
that reported they were fixed local exchange service providers. Of
these providers, the Commission estimates that 4,146 providers have
1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's small business
size standard, most of these providers can be considered small
entities.
66. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (Incumbent LECs). Neither the
Commission nor the SBA have developed a small business size standard
specifically for incumbent local exchange carriers. Wired
Telecommunications Carriers is the closest industry with an SBA small
business size standard. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies
[[Page 25478]]
firms having 1,500 or fewer employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data
for 2017 show that there were 3,054 firms in this industry that
operated for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated with
fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the
2022 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021,
there were 1,212 providers that reported they were incumbent local
exchange service providers. Of these providers, the Commission
estimates that 916 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, the
Commission estimates that the majority of incumbent local exchange
carriers can be considered small entities.
67. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Neither the
Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small
businesses specifically applicable to local exchange services.
Providers of these services include several types of competitive local
exchange service providers. Wired Telecommunications Carriers is the
closest industry with a SBA small business size standard. The SBA small
business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers classifies
firms having 1,500 or fewer employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data
for 2017 show that there were 3,054 firms that operated in this
industry for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated with
fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the
2022 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021,
there were 3,378 providers that reported they were competitive local
exchange service providers. Of these providers, the Commission
estimates that 3,230 providers have 1,500 or fewer employees.
Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard, most of
these providers can be considered small entities.
68. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have developed a small
business size standard specifically for Interexchange Carriers. Wired
Telecommunications Carriers is the closest industry with a SBA small
business size standard. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there
were 3,054 firms that operated in this industry for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 127 providers
that reported they were engaged in the provision of interexchange
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 109
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, the Commission estimates that the
majority of providers in this industry can be considered small
entities.
69. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. Neither the Commission nor the
SBA has developed a small business size standard specifically for
prepaid calling card providers. Telecommunications Resellers is the
closest industry with a SBA small business size standard. The
Telecommunications Resellers industry comprises establishments engaged
in purchasing access and network capacity from owners and operators of
telecommunications networks and reselling wired and wireless
telecommunications services (except satellite) to businesses and
households. Establishments in this industry resell telecommunications;
they do not operate transmission facilities and infrastructure. Mobile
virtual network operators (MVNOs) are included in this industry. The
SBA small business size standard for Telecommunications Resellers
classifies a business as small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S.
Census Bureau data for 2017 show that 1,386 firms in this industry
provided resale services for the entire year. Of that number, 1,375
firms operated with fewer than 250 employees. Additionally, based on
Commission data in the 2022 Universal Service Monitoring Report, as of
December 31, 2021, there were 62 providers that reported they were
engaged in the provision of prepaid card services. Of these providers,
the Commission estimates that 61 providers have 1,500 or fewer
employees. Consequently, using the SBA's small business size standard,
most of these providers can be considered small entities.
70. Local Resellers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard specifically for Local
Resellers. Telecommunications Resellers is the closest industry with a
SBA small business size standard. The Telecommunications Resellers
industry comprises establishments engaged in purchasing access and
network capacity from owners and operators of telecommunications
networks and reselling wired and wireless telecommunications services
(except satellite) to businesses and households. Establishments in this
industry resell telecommunications; they do not operate transmission
facilities and infrastructure. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs)
are included in this industry. The SBA small business size standard for
Telecommunications Resellers classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that
1,386 firms in this industry provided resale services for the entire
year. Of that number, 1,375 firms operated with fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 207
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of local
resale services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 202
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
71. Toll Resellers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard specifically for Toll
Resellers. Telecommunications Resellers is the closest industry with a
SBA small business size standard. The Telecommunications Resellers
industry comprises establishments engaged in purchasing access and
network capacity from owners and operators of telecommunications
networks and reselling wired and wireless telecommunications services
(except satellite) to businesses and households. Establishments in this
industry resell telecommunications; they do not operate transmission
facilities and infrastructure. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs)
are included in this industry. The SBA small business size standard for
Telecommunications Resellers classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that
1,386 firms in this industry provided resale services for the entire
year. Of that number, 1,375 firms operated with fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 457
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of toll
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 438
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
72. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has
developed a definition for small businesses
[[Page 25479]]
specifically applicable to Other Toll Carriers. This category includes
toll carriers that do not fall within the categories of interexchange
carriers, operator service providers, prepaid calling card providers,
satellite service carriers, or toll resellers. Wired Telecommunications
Carriers is the closest industry with a SBA small business size
standard. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there
were 3,054 firms in this industry that operated for the entire year. Of
this number, 2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees.
Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal Service
Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 90 providers
that reported they were engaged in the provision of other toll
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 87
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
73. Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite). This
industry comprises establishments engaged in operating and maintaining
switching and transmission facilities to provide communications via the
airwaves. Establishments in this industry have spectrum licenses and
provide services using that spectrum, such as cellular services, paging
services, wireless internet access, and wireless video services. The
SBA size standard for this industry classifies a business as small if
it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show
that there were 2,893 firms in this industry that operated for the
entire year. Of that number, 2,837 firms employed fewer than 250
employees. Additionally, based on Commission data in the 2022 Universal
Service Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 2021, there were 594
providers that reported they were engaged in the provision of wireless
services. Of these providers, the Commission estimates that 511
providers have 1,500 or fewer employees. Consequently, using the SBA's
small business size standard, most of these providers can be considered
small entities.
74. Television Broadcasting. This industry is comprised of
``establishments primarily engaged in broadcasting images together with
sound.'' These establishments operate television broadcast studios and
facilities for the programming and transmission of programs to the
public. These establishments also produce or transmit visual
programming to affiliated broadcast television stations, which in turn
broadcast the programs to the public on a predetermined schedule.
Programming may originate in their own studio, from an affiliated
network, or from external sources. The SBA small business size standard
for this industry classifies businesses having $47 million or less in
annual receipts as small. 2017 U.S. Census Bureau data indicate that
744 firms in this industry operated for the entire year. Of that
number, 657 firms had revenue of less than $25,000,000. Based on this
data we estimate that the majority of television broadcasters are small
entities under the SBA small business size standard.
75. As of March 31, 2024, there were 1,385 licensed commercial
television stations. Of this total, 1,308 stations (or 94.4%) had
revenues of $47 million or less in 2023, according to Commission staff
review of the BIA Kelsey Inc. Media Access Pro Television Database
(BIA) on January 7, 2025, and therefore these licensees qualify as
small entities under the SBA definition. In addition, the Commission
estimates as of December 31, 2024, there were 382 licensed
noncommercial educational (NCE) television stations, 381 Class A TV
stations, 1,801 LPTV stations and 3,091 TV translator stations. The
Commission, however, does not compile and otherwise does not have
access to financial information for these television broadcast stations
that would permit it to determine how many of these stations qualify as
small entities under the SBA small business size standard.
Nevertheless, given the SBA's large annual receipts threshold for this
industry and the nature of these television station licensees, we
presume that all of these entities qualify as small entities under the
above SBA small business size standard.
76. Radio Stations. This industry is comprised of ``establishments
primarily engaged in broadcasting aural programs by radio to the
public.'' Programming may originate in their own studio, from an
affiliated network, or from external sources. The SBA small business
size standard for this industry classifies firms having $47 million or
less in annual receipts as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show
that 2,963 firms operated in this industry during that year. Of this
number, 1,879 firms operated with revenue of less than $25 million per
year. Based on this data and the SBA's small business size standard, we
estimate a majority of such entities are small entities.
77. The Commission estimates that as of December 31, 2024, there
were 4,383 licensed commercial AM radio stations and 6,625 licensed
commercial FM radio stations, for a combined total of 11,008 commercial
radio stations. Of this total, 11,007 stations (or 99.99%) had revenues
of $47 million or less in 2023, according to Commission staff review of
the BIA Kelsey Inc. Media Access Pro Database (BIA) on January 7, 2025,
and therefore these licensees qualify as small entities under the SBA
definition. In addition, the Commission estimates that as of December
31, 2024, there were 4,477 licensed noncommercial (NCE) FM radio
stations, 1,968 low power FM (LPFM) stations, and 8,880 FM translators
and boosters. The Commission, however, does not compile, and otherwise
does not have access to financial information for these radio stations
that would permit it to determine how many of these stations qualify as
small entities under the SBA small business size standard.
Nevertheless, given the SBA's large annual receipts threshold for this
industry and the nature of radio station licensees, we presume that all
of these entities qualify as small entities under the above SBA small
business size standard.
78. We note, however, that in assessing whether a business concern
qualifies as ``small'' under the above definition, business (control)
affiliations must be included. Our estimate, therefore, likely
overstates the number of small entities that might be affected by our
action, because the revenue figure on which it is based does not
include or aggregate revenues from affiliated companies. In addition,
another element of the definition of ``small business'' requires that
an entity not be dominant in its field of operation. We are unable at
this time to define or quantify the criteria that would establish
whether a specific radio or television broadcast station is dominant in
its field of operation. Accordingly, the estimate of small businesses
to which the rules may apply does not exclude any radio or television
station from the definition of a small business on this basis and is
therefore possibly over-inclusive. An additional element of the
definition of ``small business'' is that the entity must be
independently owned and operated. Because it is difficult to assess
these criteria in the context of media entities, the estimate of small
businesses to which the rules may apply does not exclude any radio or
television station from the definition of a small business on this
basis and similarly may be over-inclusive.
[[Page 25480]]
79. Cable Companies and Systems (Rate Regulation). The Commission
has developed its own small business size standard for the purpose of
cable rate regulation. Under the Commission's rules, a ``small cable
company'' is one serving 400,000 or fewer subscribers nationwide. Based
on industry data, there are about 420 cable companies in the U.S. Of
these, only seven have more than 400,000 subscribers. In addition,
under the Commission's rules, a ``small system'' is a cable system
serving 15,000 or fewer subscribers. Based on industry data, there are
about 4,139 cable systems (headends) in the U.S. Of these, about 639
have more than 15,000 subscribers. Accordingly, the Commission
estimates that the majority of cable companies and cable systems are
small.
80. Cable System Operators (Telecom Act Standard). The
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, contains a size standard for a
``small cable operator,'' which is ``a cable operator that, directly or
through an affiliate, serves in the aggregate fewer than one percent of
all subscribers in the United States and is not affiliated with any
entity or entities whose gross annual revenues in the aggregate exceed
$250,000,000.'' For purposes of the Telecom Act Standard, the
Commission determined that a cable system operator that serves fewer
than 498,000 subscribers, either directly or through affiliates, will
meet the definition of a small cable operator. Based on industry data,
only six cable system operators have more than 498,000 subscribers.
Accordingly, the Commission estimates that the majority of cable system
operators are small under this size standard. We note however, that the
Commission neither requests nor collects information on whether cable
system operators are affiliated with entities whose gross annual
revenues exceed $250 million. Therefore, we are unable at this time to
estimate with greater precision the number of cable system operators
that would qualify as small cable operators under the definition in the
Communications Act.
81. Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service. DBS service is a
nationally distributed subscription service that delivers video and
audio programming via satellite to a small parabolic ``dish'' antenna
at the subscriber's location. DBS is included in the Wired
Telecommunications Carriers industry which comprises establishments
primarily engaged in operating and/or providing access to transmission
facilities and infrastructure that they own and/or lease for the
transmission of voice, data, text, sound, and video using wired
telecommunications networks. Transmission facilities may be based on a
single technology or combination of technologies. Establishments in
this industry use the wired telecommunications network facilities that
they operate to provide a variety of services, such as wired telephony
services, including VoIP services, wired (cable) audio and video
programming distribution; and wired broadband internet services. By
exception, establishments providing satellite television distribution
services using facilities and infrastructure that they operate are
included in this industry.
82. The SBA small business size standard for Wired
Telecommunications Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer
employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that 3,054
firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of this number,
2,964 firms operated with fewer than 250 employees. Based on this data,
the majority of firms in this industry can be considered small under
the SBA small business size standard. According to Commission data,
however, only two entities provide DBS service--DIRECTV (owned by AT&T)
and DISH Network, which require a great deal of capital for operation.
DIRECTV and DISH Network both exceed the SBA size standard for
classification as a small business. Therefore, we must conclude based
on internally developed Commission data, in general DBS service is
provided only by large firms.
83. Satellite Telecommunications. This industry comprises firms
``primarily engaged in providing telecommunications services to other
establishments in the telecommunications and broadcasting industries by
forwarding and receiving communications signals via a system of
satellites or reselling satellite telecommunications.'' Satellite
telecommunications service providers include satellite and earth
station operators. The SBA small business size standard for this
industry classifies a business with $44 million or less in annual
receipts as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that 275 firms
in this industry operated for the entire year. Of this number, 242
firms had revenue of less than $25 million. Consequently, using the
SBA's small business size standard most satellite telecommunications
service providers can be considered small entities. The Commission
notes however, that the SBA's revenue small business size standard is
applicable to a broad scope of satellite telecommunications providers
included in the U.S. Census Bureau's Satellite Telecommunications
industry definition. Additionally, the Commission neither requests nor
collects annual revenue information from satellite telecommunications
providers, and is therefore unable to more accurately estimate the
number of satellite telecommunications providers that would be
classified as a small business under the SBA size standard.
84. 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
(VoIP) services, via client-supplied telecommunications connections are
also included in this industry. The SBA small business size standard
for this industry classifies firms with annual receipts of $35 million
or less as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there were
1,079 firms in this industry that operated for the entire year. Of
those firms, 1,039 had revenue of less than $25 million. Based on this
data, the Commission estimates that the majority of ``All Other
Telecommunications'' firms can be considered small.
85. RespOrgs. Responsible Organizations, or RespOrgs (also referred
to as Toll-Free Number (TFN) providers), are entities chosen by toll
free subscribers to manage and administer the appropriate records in
the toll-free Service Management System for the toll-free subscriber.
Based on information on the website of SOMOS, the entity that maintains
a registry of Toll-Free Number providers (SMS/800 TFN Registry) for the
more than 42 million Toll-Free numbers in North America, and the TSS
Registry, a centralized registry for the use of Toll-Free Numbers in
text messaging and multimedia services, there were approximately 446
registered RespOrgs/Toll-Free Number providers in July 2021. RespOrgs
are often wireline carriers, however they can be include non-carrier
entities. Accordingly, the description below for RespOrgs include both
Carrier RespOrgs and Non-Carrier RespOrgs.
86. Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard for Carrier RespOrgs. Wired
Telecommunications Carriers, and
[[Page 25481]]
Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) are the closest
industries with a SBA small business size applicable to Carrier
RespOrgs.
87. Wired Telecommunications Carriers are establishments primarily
engaged in operating and/or providing access to transmission facilities
and infrastructure that they own and/or lease for the transmission of
voice, data, text, sound, and video using wired communications
networks. Transmission facilities may be based on a single technology
or a combination of technologies. Establishments in this industry use
the wired telecommunications network facilities that they operate to
provide a variety of services, such as wired telephony services,
including VoIP services, wired (cable) audio and video programming
distribution, and wired broadband internet services. By exception,
establishments providing satellite television distribution services
using facilities and infrastructure that they operate are included in
this industry. The SBA small business size standard for this industry
classifies a business as small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S.
Census Bureau data for 2017 show that there were 3,054 firms that
operated for the entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms operated with
fewer than 250 employees. Based on that data, we conclude that the
majority of Carrier RespOrgs that operated with wireline-based
technology are small.
88. Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) engage
in operating and maintaining switching and transmission facilities to
provide communications via the airwaves. Establishments in this
industry have spectrum licenses and provide services using that
spectrum, such as cellular services, paging services, wireless internet
access, and wireless video services. The SBA small business size
standard for this industry classifies a business as small if it has
1,500 or fewer employees. For this industry, U.S. Census Bureau data
for 2017 show that there were 2,893 firms that operated for the entire
year. Of this number, 2,837 firms employed fewer than 250 employees.
Based on this data, we conclude that the majority of Carrier RespOrgs
that operated with wireless-based technology are small.
89. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the Commission nor the SBA have
developed a small business size standard Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Other
Services Related to Advertising and Other Management Consulting
Services'' are the closest industries with a SBA small business size
applicable to Non-Carrier RespOrgs.
90. The Other Services Related to Advertising industry
establishments primarily engaged in providing advertising services
(except advertising agency services, public relations agency services,
media buying agency services, media representative services, display
advertising services, direct mail advertising services, advertising
material distribution services, and marketing consulting services). The
SBA small business size standard for this industry classifies a
business as small that has annual receipts of $16.5 million or less.
U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that 5,650 firms operated in this
industry for the entire year. Of that number, 3,693 firms operated with
revenue of less than $10 million. Based on this data, we conclude that
a majority of non-carrier RespOrgs who provide TFN-related management
consulting services are small.
91. The Other Management Consulting Services industry contains
establishments primarily engaged in providing management consulting
services (except administrative and general management consulting;
human resources consulting; marketing consulting; or process, physical
distribution, and logistics consulting). Establishments providing
telecommunications or utilities management consulting services are
included in this industry. The SBA small business size standard for
this industry classifies a business as small if it has annual receipts
of $16.5 million or less. U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 show that
4,696 firms operated in this industry for the entire year. Of that
number, 3,700 firms had revenue of less than $10 million. Based on this
data, we conclude that a majority of non-carrier RespOrgs who provide
TFN-related management consulting services are small.
D. Description of Economic Impact and Projected Reporting,
Recordkeeping and Other Compliance Requirements for Small Entities
92. The RFA directs agencies to describe the economic impact
proposed rules on small entities, as well as projected reporting,
recordkeeping and other compliance requirements, including an estimate
of the classes of small entities which will be subject to the
requirement and the type of professional skills necessary for
preparation of the report or record.
93. The NPRM does not propose any changes to the Commission's
current information collection, reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance
requirements for collecting regulatory fees from small entities. Small
and other regulated entities are required to pay regulatory fees on an
annual basis. The cost of compliance with the annual regulatory
assessment for small entities is the amount assessed for their
regulatory fee category, which may increase or decrease based upon the
methodology employed by the Commission in FY 2025 to determine the
allocation of direct FTEs within the core bureaus, and indirect FTEs in
non-core bureaus and offices. Costs for regulatory fees may also be
adjusted based on any additions or other changes to regulatory fee
categories. For example, if proposals made in the FY 2025 Space and
Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM are adopted, such as the assessment
of regulatory fees on authorized and operational space stations, it may
increase the number of space station payors, which in turn could
decrease the calculated per-unit regulatory fee for GSO and NGSO space
station payors. Such a change would require fees on small regulatees
that may not have been assessed regulatory fees under the existing
methodology and may require small entities that have not previously
paid regulatory fees to hire professionals to comply. Small entities
that have previously paid regulatory fees may not need to hire
professionals to comply because most should already be familiar with
the Commission's current collection process and, as a result, are
accustomed to paying the annual fees. For small licensees experiencing
financial hardship, access to fee relief, via options such as waiver,
reduction, deferral and/or installment payment of their regulatory fees
may be available, and small entities may be exempt from paying a
regulatory fee if the assessed fee is below the de minimis threshold
that the Commission has established.
E. Discussion of Significant Alternatives Considered That Minimize the
Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities
94. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of any
significant alternatives to the proposed rules that would accomplish
the stated objectives of applicable statutes, and minimize any
significant economic impact on small entities. The discussion is
required to include alternatives such as: ``(1) the establishment of
differing compliance or reporting requirements or timetables that take
into account the resources available to small entities; (2) the
clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance and
reporting requirements under the rule for such small entities; (3) the
use of performance rather than design
[[Page 25482]]
standards; and (4) an exemption from coverage of the rule, or any part
thereof, for such small entities.''
95. Assessment of Regulatory Fees. The Commission's long-standing
methodology for assessing regulatory fees reflects the full-time
equivalent number of employees within the Commission's bureaus and
offices, adjusted to take into account factors that are reasonably
related to the benefits provided to the payor of the fee by the
Commission's activities. In making such adjustments to establish our
regulatory fee schedule for FY 2025, following a high-level staff
analysis of the time utilized in the oversight and regulation of
certain segments of the telecommunications industry, we propose
reallocating certain indirect FTEs as direct to one of the Commission's
core licensing bureaus. Our proposals reflect our conclusion that we
can determine, with reasonable accuracy for this fiscal year, that
certain FTE time from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of
Economics and Analytics, and the Public Safety and Homeland Security
Bureau is 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 a licensing
bureau for regulatory fee purposes.
96. For FY 2025, we propose that 63 indirect FTEs could be
reallocated as direct FTEs to a relevant core bureau for purposes of
calculating regulatory fees for FY 2025, which could reduce regulatory
fee obligations for some small and other regulatory payees.
Additionally, consistent with the Commission's determination for the
past two fiscal years, we propose to reallocate two direct FTEs from
the Media Bureau to be 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 previously been categorized as indirect.
These reallocations result in an overall proposed increase of 61
indirect FTEs being reallocated as direct FTEs to core bureaus. We find
that these proposed reallocations are consistent with section 9 of the
Communications Act, which requires us to determine regulatory fees
based on FTEs.
97. Additionally, on February 25, 2025, the Commission released the
FY 2025 Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM seeking
additional comment on proposed changes to the regulatory fee
methodology used for assessing space and earth station regulatory fees.
In the current NPRM, we propose regulatory fee rates based on the
existing methodology, as well as the proposals set forth in the FY 2025
Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees FNPRM. However, the proposed
space and earth station regulatory fee rates are estimates because the
final space and earth station regulatory fee rates are dependent upon
the outcome of the Space and Earth Station Regulatory Fees proceeding.
Accordingly, the NPRM does not seek additional comment on proposed
alternatives specific to those in the FY 2025 Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees FNPRM. Alternatively, the Commission seeks comment on
the proposed adjusted schedule of regulatory fees for space and earth
station payors located in Table 7 of the NPRM. If any of the proposals
are adopted as part of the subsequent Space and Earth Station
Regulatory Fees Report and Order, it may increase or reduce the
regulatory fee burden on some satellite entities.
98. Broadcast Regulatory Fees. The NPRM proposes whether the
Commission should continue to assess fees for full-power broadcast
television stations based on the population covered by a full-service
broadcast television station's contour which may reduce the economic
impact of the regulatory fees for some small licensees. While the
population-based methodology increases fees for some licensees and
reduces fees for others, the Commission believes the population-based
metric better conforms with the service of broadcasting television to
the American people.
99. Broadcast Regulatory Fees. In the NPRM, we propose to continue
to assess fees for full-power broadcast television stations based on
the population covered by a full-service broadcast television station's
contour which may reduce the economic impact of the regulatory fees for
some small licensees. While the population-based methodology increases
fees for some licensees and reduces fees for others, we believe the
population-based metric better conforms with the service of
broadcasting television to the American people. In addition, small
licensees experiencing financial hardship will continue to have access
to fee relief, such as waiver, reduction, deferral and/or installment
payment of their regulatory fees and may be exempt from paying a
regulatory fee if the assessed fee is below the de minimis threshold
that the Commission has established.
100. Temporary Relief Measures Due to Economic Effects of COVID-19
Pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic and through FY 2023, the
Commission provided certain temporary relief to regulatory fee payors
experiencing financial hardship caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic through a combination of partial rule waivers and direction to
the Office of the Managing Director in exercising its delegated
authority. In the NPRM, we do not plan to implement these temporary
measures for FY 2024. The circumstances for which the measures were
temporarily implemented have changed. The National Emergency COVID-19
pandemic has ended and the national economy is rebounding. We recognize
that some regulatory fee payors may be experiencing lingering or
continuing financial difficulties related to the pandemic's economic
effects, but we believe that sections 1.1166 and 1.1914 of our rules,
now streamlined and simplified, offer those fee payors a
straightforward path to regulatory fee relief.
F. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the
