COMMISSION PROPOSES AMENDMENTS TO
SCHEDULE OF REGULATORY FEES - MD DOCKET
NO. 96-84 (Report No. DC 96-29, Action in Docket Case)
The FCC is seeking comment on its proposed
Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 Schedule of Regulatory Fees. The
amount that the Congress requires the FCC to collect in
regulatory fees for FY 1996 is $116,400,000--the same
amount it required the FCC to recover through regulatory
fees in FY 1995. As a result, most of the proposed fees do
not change substantially from FY 1995.
Action by the Commission April 5, 1996 by NPRM
(FCC 96-153).
