Synopsis

I. Introduction

    1. By this Order, the Commission makes rule changes to part 1 of 
the Commission's rules, and amends its Schedule of Application Fees, 47 
CFR 1.1102 through 1.1109, as listed in the Rule Changes section, to 
adjust its fees for processing applications and other filings. Section 
8(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 
requires the Commission to ``assess and collect application fees at 
such rates as the Commission shall establish or at such modified rates 
as it shall establish pursuant to'' Section 8(b).\1\ Section 8(g) 
contains the Schedule of Charges for a broad range of application 
categories as well as procedures for modifying and collecting these 
charges.\2\ Section 8(b)(1) requires that the Schedule of Application 
Fees ``be reviewed by the Commission every two years after October 1, 
1991, and adjusted by the Commission to reflect changes in the Consumer 
Price Index.'' As required by Section 8(b)(1), this Order increases 
application fees to reflect the net change in the Consumer Price Index 
for all Urban Consumers (``CPI-U'') of 3.7 percent, an increase of 
8.825 index points calculated from October 2015 (237.838) to October 
2017 (246.663).\3\

[[Page 38040]]

The adjustments comply with the statutory formula set forth in Section 
8(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 47 U.S.C. 158(a).
    \2\ The RAY BAUM's Act of 2018 amended Section 8 of the 
Communications Act and provided an effective date of October 1, 2018 
for such changes. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Division 
P--RAY BAUM's Act of 2018, Title I, FCC Reauthorization, Public Law 
115-141 (March 23, 2018). Congress envisioned a transition between 
fees adopted before and after the effective date of the amendments 
to Section 8. In particular, Congress provided that application fees 
in effect on the day before the effective date of the RAY BAUM's Act 
shall remain in effect until such time as the Commission adjusts or 
amends such fee. Id. Section 8 fees are revised every even year and 
the Commission expects that this Order will become effective before 
October 1, 2018. We also note that in a separate proceeding, the 
Commission proposed to assess a small satellite application fee of 
$30,000.00 under the RAY BAUM's Act. See Streamlining Licensing 
Procedures for Small Satellites, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, IB 
Docket No. 18-86, FCC 18-44, para. 76 (2018). In this Order, the 
Commission does not address this proposal.
    \3\ Application fees are calculated based upon the process set 
forth in 47 U.S.C. 158(b)(1). The increase in the CPI-U between 
October 2015 (the month used to calculate the last CPI-U adjustment 
of the Schedule of Application Fees) and October 2017 is 8.825 index 
points, a 3.7 percent increase. Section 8(b)(1) prescribes that 
increases or decreases in application fees are to be ``determined by 
the net change in the Consumer Price Index since the date of 
enactment of this section,'' i.e., since December 1989. The actual 
calculation of fees is based on index points that are averaged over 
a time period beginning in December 1989. See Bureau of Labor 
Statistics CPI-U Index, https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/historical-cpi-u-201710.pdf (showing a CPI-U Index of 237.838 for October 2015 
and 246.663 for October 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The methodology and timing of adjustments to application fees 
are prescribed by statute at 47 U.S.C. 158(b). Because our action 
implementing the statute leaves us no discretion, prior notice and 
comment is unnecessary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). This Order is 
also exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq., pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Copies of this Order 
will be sent to Congress and the Comptroller General in compliance with 
the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq. Notification of the 
fee adjustments made in this Order will be published in the Federal 
Register.
    3. Reminder Regarding Lockbox Closures. During the past few years, 
the Commission has been reducing its use of P.O. Boxes for the 
collection of fees and has encouraged the use of electronic payment 
systems for all application and regulatory fees.\4\ The electronic 
payment of fees for applications, tariffs, and petitions increases the 
agency's financial efficiency by reducing expenditures, including the 
annual fee for utilizing the bank's services and the cost of processing 
each transaction manually, with very little or no inconvenience to the 
regulatees, applicants, and the public.\5\ As part of this process, the 
Commission has closed Lockbox 979092 (used to submit fees and petitions 
related to services provided by the Public Safety & Homeland Security 
Bureau) and Lockbox 979091 (used to submit fees and petitions related 
to services provided by the Wireline Competition Bureau).\6\ Additional 
closings will occur in coming months. As these Lockboxes are closed, 
filers will be required to submit payments electronically in accordance 
with the procedures set forth on the Commission's website, https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/fees. Payments can be made through the 
Fee Filer Online System (Fee Filer), accessible at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/fee-filer, although we caution filers that the 
agency may transition to other secure payment systems in the future, 
after appropriate public notice and guidance. To file applications, 
tariffs, and petitions, parties should utilize, as applicable, the 
Commission's Electronic Tariff Filing System for tariffs, which can be 
found at https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/etfsHome.action, or the Electronic 
Comment Filing System (ECFS), which can be found at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display. Petitions filed in hard copy format 
should be submitted according to the procedures set forth on the web 
page of the Commission's Office of the Secretary, https://www.fcc.gov/seretary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission previously revised its payment rules to 
encourage electronic payment of application processing fees and 
require electronic payment of regulatory fees. 47 CFR 1.1112 
(application fees) and 1.1158 (regulatory fees). These rules became 
effective November 30, 2015. 80 FR 66816 (Oct. 30, 2015).
    \5\ See Treasury Financial Manual, Bulletin No. 2017-12, 
``Agency No-Cash or No-Check Policies,'' released on September 18, 
2017 (explaining the circumstances under which agencies may decide 
not to accept payments made in cash or by check), available at 
https://tfm.fiscal.treasury.gov/v1/bull/17-12.pdf; see also https://www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-06-16/pdf/2011-15181.pdf.
    \6\ Amendment of Part 1 of the Commission's Rules, Order, MD 
Docket No. 17-123, 32 FCC Rcd 4203 (2017) (modifying Section 1.1109 
of the Commission's rules to delete reference to P.O. Box 979092 at 
U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri); Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 51, and 
61 of the Commission's Rules, Order, MD Docket No. 17-357, 32 FCC 
Rcd 10565 (2017) (modifying Section 1.1105 of the Commission's rules 
to delete reference to P.O. Box 979091 at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, 
Missouri).
