FCC Announces Revised Application Fee Schedule

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of revised application fee schedule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document that was released on March 26, 2009, the 
Commission announces that effective April 28, 2009, the application 
fees charged to licensees and permittees will increase to reflect the 
change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U).

DATES: Effective April 28, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: CORES Helpdesk at 1-877-480-3201 
(Option 4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to an Order published in the 
Federal Register at 74 FR 5107, January 29, 2009, the application fees 
charged to licensees and permittees by the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) will increase effective April 28, 2009 to reflect the 
change in the Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U). Section 8(b) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended in the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1989, requires cost-of-living adjustments to the 
application fee schedule every two years after October 1, 1991. 
Increases in the dollar amount of all section 8 application fees are 
based on the percentage change in the CPI-U from the date of enactment 
of the legislation. The new Schedule of Application Fees reflects the 
net change in the CPI-U of 4.9 percent, calculated from October 2005 
through October 2007 in accordance with previously Sec.  1.1115 
(currently Sec.  1.1117) of part 1 of the Commission's rules.
    Wireless Telecommunications Services application fees that have an 
associated regulatory fee that must be paid at the time of application 
filing are noted by an asterisk in the Schedule. Please refer to the 
most recent Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Fee Filing Guide for the 
total fee that is due for these specific services.
    Copies of all fee filing guides for each of the Bureaus/Offices 
that have feeable services may be obtained on the Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/fees/appfees.html. Copies may also be obtained by calling 
Forms Distribution at (202) 418-3676 or toll free by calling 1-800-418-
3676.

You may also pick up the filing guides in the Commission Room TW-B200.
    All revenues generated by section 8 Application Fees are deposited 
in the General Fund of the United States Treasury.

Application Fees, please contact the CORES Helpdesk at 1-877-480-3201
