PUBLIC NOTICE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 1919 M STREET, N.W. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 News media information 202/418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202/418-2830 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov ftp.fcc.gov August 3, 1998 FY 1998 Mass Media Regulatory Fees The Federal Communications Commission issues this Public Notice in order to provide information concerning the payment of regulatory fees in FY 1998. If you are a licensee in any of the mass media services, you should carefully review this Public Notice. WHO MUST PAY REGULATORY FEES IN FY 1998 Most licensees and other entities regulated by the Commission must pay regulatory fees in FY 1998. This Public Notice concerns the following Mass Media licensees: commercial AM & FM radio stations, commercial television stations, Low Power Television and television translator and booster licensees, broadcast auxiliary, FM translator and FM booster licensees, and multipoint distribution service licensees (includes multichannel multipoint distribution service). Noncommercial educational licensees are exempt from regulatory fees as are licensees of auxiliary broadcast services such as low power auxiliary stations, television auxiliary service stations, remote pickup stations and aural broadcast auxiliary stations where such licenses are used in conjunction with commonly owned non- commercial educational stations. Emergency alert system (EAS) licenses for auxiliary service facilities are also exempt as are Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) licensees. Governments and nonprofit entities (exempt under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code) are not required to pay regulatory fees and should not submit payment. The Commission requires that each exempt entity submit, or have on file with the Commission, a current IRS Determination Letter documenting its nonprofit status, a certification of governmental authority, or certification from a governmental authority attesting to its exempt status. The regulatory fee to be assessed is based upon the nature of the authorization (e.g. construction permit or license) held as of October 1, 1997. Responsibility for payment of that fee rests with the current holder of the permit or license at the time payment is due. WHY THE COMMISSION MUST COLLECT REGULATORY FEES The requirement to collect annual regulatory fees is contained in Public Law 103-66, "The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission's enforcement, public information, international and policy and rulemaking activities. These fees are in addition to any application processing fees associated with obtaining a license or other authorization from the Commission. WHEN FEES WILL BE DUE Fee payments must be received by the Commission during the period beginning September 14, 1998, and ending September 18, 1998, in order to avoid a 25% late payment penalty. FCC FORM 159 Regulatory fee payments must be accompanied by FCC FORM 159 ("FCC Remittance Advice"). This form has been revised and you must use the version dated July 1997. A copy of this form, with specific instructions, is attached to this Public Notice and may be used to submit fees. Reproduced forms are acceptable. Please see "Special Instructions for Completing FCC FORMs 159 and 159-C" for detailed information on how to correctly complete these forms. Unless you are submitting your information on diskette, you must list each Call Sign separately on Forms 159/159-C. Written attachments are not acceptable. Failure to properly complete FCC Forms 159/159-C will delay the processing of your regulatory fee payment. Over the past years, payers have been allowed the option to pay for more than 50 call signs by submitting the Form 159 information on diskette. That option is still available. Information on how to file electronically on diskette will be made available on a subsequent public notice. WHERE TO SEND REGULATORY FEE PAYMENTS If sending your regulatory fee payment by mail, please address your envelope as follows: Federal Communications Commission Regulatory Fees P.O. Box 358835 Pittsburgh, PA 15251-5835 If you prefer to send your regulatory fee payment by courier to our lockbox bank, you may do so 24 hours per business day (except Federal or bank holidays).

When paying by credit card, please make sure you complete and sign block 28 of FCC FORM 159. Payments may also be made by wire transfer or ACH Debit. Instructions are provided below. NOTE: We encourage arrangements to consolidate regulatory fee payments either by a single entity or by different entities into a single payment instrument. Consolidated fee payments may cover any number of service categories. Multiple fee payments may be made utilizing any of the methods of payment mentioned above. Payers who will be making a single payment for a significant number of entities and wish to submit their payment information on diskette in lieu of submitting a large number of FCC FORMs 159-C ("Advice Continuation Sheets") may do so. Specific instructions regarding diskette submission will be issued separately. No more than twenty-five (25) Form 159-C's should be manually submitted for payment. If more than twenty-five (25) Form 159-C's are to be submitted, we encourage the public to file the information on diskette. WIRE TRANSFER PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS A wire transfer is a transaction that you initiate via your bank. It authorizes your bank to wire funds from your account to our lockbox bank, the Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, PA. All payments made by wire transfer must be supported by a completed FCC Remittance Advice (FCC FORM 159) and Advice Continuation Sheet (FCC FORM 159-C), if required. The FCC FORM 159 must be faxed to Mellon Bank at (412) 236-5702 at least one hour before the wire transfer on the same business day. Indicate on the top of the FCC FORM 159 "Wire Transfer - Regulatory Fee Payment." In Box (1) - Lockbox#, located at the upper left hand corner, indicate "358835." Failure to submit the completed FCC FORM 159 will result in a delay in crediting your account. Due to Federal Reserve regulations, wire transfers received after 6:00 p.m. (EDT) will be credited to the next business day. The following information should be provided to your bank in order to complete the wire transfer: ABA Routing Number 043000261 Receiving Bank: Mellon Pittsburgh BNF: FCC/ACV--9116106 OBI Field: (Skip one space between each information item) "REGULATORYPAY" PAYER TIN (Exactly as on FCC FORM 159, Block #25) PAYER NAME (Exactly as on FCC FORM 159, Block #2) Phone: (Daytime Phone #, exactly as on FCC FORM 159, Block #9) LOCKBOX 358835 ACH DEBIT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS If you are interested in using Mellon's Customer Initiated Payment Program (CIP), a brief application form must be completed and a personal identification number (PIN) issued by the bank. Arrangements for using this process must be completed 14 days prior to submitting payment of the regulatory fee. After you have been set up for this program, you have until September 17, 1998 to submit payment to ensure processing by the deadline date of September 18, 1998. Please contact Regina Dorsey, Chief, Billings & Collections Branch, Financial Operations Division at (202) 418- 1995 for further details. COMPLIANCE Please make sure your total remittance and the amount indicated on the FCC FORM 159 are in agreement. Failure to do so will delay processing. Licensees are solely responsible for accurately accounting for all licenses and for paying proper regulatory fees. Any data omission, erroneous or incomplete data submission, or payment deficiency may result in a 25% monetary penalty, dismissal of pending actions, and/or revocation of any authorization. You are strongly urged to submit your payments on time and accurately in order to avoid a penalty. Additionally, the Commission will invoke any lawful authority it may possess under the Debt Collection Act to collect any fees due or outstanding against any licensee failing to meet its regulatory fee payment obligations. WAIVERS, REDUCTIONS AND DEFERMENTS OF REGULATORY FEES The Commission will consider requests for waivers, reductions or deferments of regulatory fees, in extraordinary and compelling circumstances only, upon a showing that such action overrides the public interest in reimbursing the Commission for its regulatory costs. Your regulatory fee must be paid by the due date even if a request is made for a waiver or reduction. This will ensure efficient collection in situations where a waiver or reduction is not warranted and will allow the requestor to avoid a 25% late-payment penalty if its request is denied. The regulatory fee will be refunded later if the request is granted. Only in exceptional or compelling instances (where payment of the regulatory fee along with the waiver or reduction request could result in the reduction of service to a community or other financial hardship to the licensee), will the Commission accept a petition to defer payment along with a waiver or reduction request. All requests for deferments must be received before September 18, 1998, in order to avoid the 25% late-payment penalty. Please submit your written waiver or reduction request to the following address: Office of the Managing Director Federal Communications Commission 1919 M. Street, N.W., Room 450 Washington, D.C. 20554 attn: Regulatory Fee Waiver/Reduction Request However, submit your regulatory fee payment to the address on page 2 of this Public Notice.

FEE PAYMENT PROCEDURES FOR COMMERCIAL AM AND FM RADIO STATIONS Who Must Pay: Responsibility for payment of the regulatory fee rests with the current holder of the permit or license at the time payment is due. Licensees of commercial AM radio stations and holders of construction permits for new stations in the AM service where the license or permit was granted on or before October 1, 1997. AM radio station licensees who also hold auxiliary broadcast service licenses operated in conjunction with the main AM station (e.g., remote pickup stations, aural broadcast STLs, intercity relay stations and low power auxiliary stations) will also be assessed a regulatory fee for each of these stations. Licensees of commercial FM radio stations and holders of construction permits for new stations in the FM service where the license or permit was granted on or before October 1, 1997. FM radio station licensees who also hold auxiliary broadcast service licenses operated in conjunction with the main FM station (e.g., remote pickup stations, aural broadcast STLs, intercity relay stations and low power auxiliary stations) will also be assessed a regulatory fee for each of these stations. Governments and nonprofit entities (exempt under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code) are not required to pay regulatory fees and should not submit payment. The Commission requires that each exempt entity submit, or have on file with the Commission, a current IRS Determination Letter documenting its nonprofit status, a certification of governmental authority, or certification from a governmental authority attesting to its exempt status. AM Conversion Table: For those licensees of AM radio stations who may be unfamiliar with the current station class designations, we provide the following: Old Class New Class Class I Class A Class II & III Class B Class II.D & II.S Class D Class III.D & III.S Class D Class IV Class C Fee Requirement: Fees are assessed for AM and FM radio station licensees based upon class of station and population served. Determination of class is based upon the station's most recent granted license on or before October 1, 1997. AM and FM radio stations are divided into 36 fee groups. A complete listing of all AM and FM stations in call sign order is attached to the notice sent to AM and FM licensees only. To determine the correct fee to be paid, look for the station's call sign and read across the page to find the city, state, class of station, population served, and the FY 1998 regulatory fee due. The fee amount may also be obtained by contacting the FCC's National Call Center at 1-888-225-5322 or through a search of the FCC's internet web site http://www.fcc.gov.
