FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
  August 3, 1999
                              
         FY 1999 REGULATORY FEES PAYMENT DUE DATES 
  
  The Commission revised its Schedule of Regulatory Fees on June 11, 1999, in order
  to recover the amount of regulatory fees that Congress has required it to collect for fiscal
  year 1999.  To facilitate collection of regulatory fees, fee payments must be received by the
  Federal Communications Commission during the period September 13, 1999, through
  September 22, 1999, for all annual fee payors.  Parties paying these fees electronically must
  ensure that payment is received by Mellon Bank no later than September 21, 1999, but they
  should submit their fees on September 13th or September 14th to facilitate their receipt and
  recording in a timely fashion.  Payments received after September 22, 1999 will be subject
  to a 25% late payment fee.
  
  Applicants for new, renewal and reinstatement licenses in the private wireless private
  mobile radio (PMRS) and the microwave radio services, which pay annual fees of $13.00 in
  advance for each year of their license term in combination with the appropriate application
  fee, are to begin paying the new fee on September 13, 1999.  Private wireless licensees in the
  aviation, marine, general mobile (GMRS), and other land mobile radio services paying $7.00
  in advance for each year of their license term in combination with the appropriate application
  fee should begin paying the new fee on September 13, 1999.  Applicants for amateur vanity
  call signs paying $1.40 in advance for each year of their license term in combination with
  the appropriate application fee should also begin paying the new fee on September 13, 1999. 
  And as is the case for annual fee payors, payments received after September 22, 1999  will
  be subject to a 25% late payment fee.
  
  Since the time for collecting fees is extremely limited, we are unable to offer
  installment payments for fiscal year 1999.
