Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2021 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission revises its Schedule of 

Regulatory Fees to recover an amount of 

$374,000,000 that Congress has required 

the Commission to collect for fiscal year 

2021. Section 9 of the Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended, provides for 

the annual assessment and collection of 

regulatory fees under respectively. 

DATES: Effective September 22, 2021. To 

avoid penalties and interest, regulatory 

fees should be paid by the due date of 

September 24, 2021.

I. Administrative Matters 

A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

1. As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), the 

Commission has prepared a Final 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) 

relating to this Report and Order. The 

FRFA is located at the end of this 

document. 

B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 Analysis 

2. This document does not contain 

new or modified information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public 

Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it 

does not contain any new or modified 

information collection burden for small 

business concerns with fewer than 25 

employees, pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). 

C. Congressional Review Act 

2. The Commission has determined, 

and the Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

concurs that these rules are non-major 

under the Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will 

send a copy of this Report & Order to 

Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A). 

3. In this Report and Order, we adopt 

a schedule to collect the $374,000,000 

in congressionally required regulatory 

fees for fiscal year (FY) 2021. The 

regulatory fees for all payors are due on 

September 24, 2021. 

4. This Report and Order addresses 

the issues that were raised in the FY 

2021 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

including: (i) The use of non-geographic 

numbers in the calculation of the 

number of subscribers for each 

commercial mobile radio service 

(CMRS) provider; (ii) ending our phasein of direct broadcast satellite (DBS) 

regulatory fees, and have the Media 

Bureau-based DBS regulatory fee 

category to be in the same fee category 

as cable television and internet Protocol 

Television (IPTV); (iii) continuing to 

assess regulatory fees for full service 

broadcast television on populationbased methodology that we used for FY 

2020, including changes that we 

adopted previously for stations in 

Puerto Rico; (iv) apportioning NGSO 

regulatory fees between the new NGSO 

fee subcategories for ‘‘less complex’’ 

NGSO systems and ‘‘other’’ NGSO 

systems, taking into account the relative 

benefits provided to them from our 

oversight and regulatory activities; and 

(v) extending our streamlined waiver 

provisions adopted in FY 2020 for FY 

2021. These issues are discussed below. 

II. Report and Order 

A. Issues Raised by Commenters 

5. Broadband DATA Act 

Implementation. As part of our FY 2021 

appropriation, Congress directed the 

Commission to assess and collect $374 

million in regulatory fees, of which $33 

million is to be made available for 

implementing the Broadband DATA 

Act. Among other things, the Broadband 

DATA Act requires the Commission to 

collect standardized, granular data on 

the availability and quality of both fixed 

and mobile broadband internet access 

services, to create a common dataset of 

all locations where fixed broadband 

internet access service can be installed 

(the Fabric), and to create publicly 

available coverage maps. 

6. Several commenters representing 

the broadcast industry object to the 

assessment on broadcasters of any 

portion of the $33 million designated by 

Congress to cover the costs of 

implementation of the Broadband 

DATA Act as part of the Commission’s 

FY 2021 appropriation. They argue that 

broadcasters are not regulated by nor do 

they benefit from implementation of the 

Broadband DATA Act. Specifically, that 

these Broadband DATA Act costs are 

not overhead costs because they pertain 

only to certain Commission core 

bureaus and identifiable entities, 

namely, broadband service providers, 

that are regulated by and benefit from 

the Commission’s activities 

implementing the legislation. 

7. Therefore, we adjust the 

Commission’s approach to account for 

the unusual circumstances 

accompanying the Broadband DATA 

Act earmark. While we categorize the 

costs of implementation of the 

Broadband DATA Act as indirect costs 

consistent with our normal 

methodology, in this limited instance, 

given the one-time nature and 

magnitude of the earmark, the statutory 

text, the legislative history, and the 

record in this proceeding, we exclude 

one group of regulatees—broadcasters or 

‘‘Media Services’’ licensees—from their 

share of these indirect costs. While we 

modify our methodology here with 

respect to the $33 million earmark, this 

one-time modification is consistent with 

the Commission’s longstanding goals of 

implementing a fair, sustainable, and 

administrable regulatory fee regime. 

8. Auction FTEs. Several commenters 

contend that the Commission should 

include auctions FTEs in the calculation 

of indirect and overhead expenses. In 

other words, excluding Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau FTEs who 

work on auction issues artificially 

depresses the costs attributable to the 

wireless industry and, disadvantages 

Media Bureau regulatees, as the Media 

Bureau has substantially fewer of its 

FTEs classified as auction employees. 

We find, however, that including 

auctions FTEs would be inconsistent 

with section 9 of the Act and therefore 

decline to accept this proposal. Section 

9 of the Communications Act requires 

the Commission to assess and collect 

regulatory fees to recover the costs of 

carrying out the Commission’s functions 

equal to the amount of the 

Commission’s salaries and expenses 

appropriations each fiscal year. 

Auctions FTEs are not included in the 

calculation of regulatory fees because 

our methodology excludes all auctionrelated FTEs and their overhead from 

the regulatory fee calculations. Auctions 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52743 

expenses are separately funded and not 

part of the Commission’s appropriation 

supported by regulatory fees. The 

Commission recovers the costs of 

developing and implementing its 

section 309(j) spectrum auctions 

program as an offsetting collection 

against auction proceeds and subject to 

an annual cap. 

9. Office of Engineering and 

Technology Activities. Commenters 

contend that the Commission should 

require users of unlicensed spectrum 

and/or equipment manufacturers to pay 

regulatory fees to support the 

Commission’s Office of Engineering and 

Technology’s (OET’s) work on the 

management of spectrum for unlicensed 

use and authorization of equipment. We 

decline the commenters’ request to 

revisit our fundamental regulatory fees 

methodology, and their proposal to 

create one or more new regulatory fee 

payor categories consisting of 

unlicensed spectrum users and/or 

equipment manufacturers, which under 

our current methodology would 

effectively transform OET into a ‘‘core 

bureau’’ and transform OET FTEs into 

‘‘direct’’ FTEs. The Commission has not 

treated OET as a core bureau and has 

considered its FTEs’ work to be 

‘‘indirect’’ activities for which all payors 

of regulatory fees have been responsible. 

10. Exempt Noncommercial Stations. 

A broadcast commenter contends that 

broadcasters should not be responsible 

for the regulatory fees of exempt 

noncommercial stations. The RAY 

BAUM’S Act specifically exempted noncommercial radio and television stations 

from regulatory fees. And because 

Congress has mandated collection of 

regulatory fees equal to the annual 

appropriation, the $374 million must be 

collected from all non-exempt 

regulatory fee payors. As a result, we 

find it is consistent with section 9 of the 

Act to include those costs that are 

attributable to all regulatees in each 

bureau’s revenue requirement because 

all of the regulatees in that fee category, 

whether they pay regulatory fees or not, 

benefit from the oversight and 

regulation of that bureau. 

B. Commercial Mobile Radio Service 

Regulatory Fees Calculation 

11. We adopt our proposal to include 

non-geographic numbers in the 

calculation of the number of subscribers 

for each Commercial Mobile Radio 

Service (CMRS) provider. The inclusion 

non-geographic numbers does not 

increase the total amount collected from 

the CMRS industry but will reduce the 

per subscriber fee. In the FY 2021 

NPRM, we determined that, with the 

inclusion of non-geographic numbers, 

there would be 504 million payment 

units, and the estimated regulatory fee 

would be 15 cents per subscriber. As we 

explained in the FY 2021 NPRM, nongeographic numbers are assigned 

numbers but not associated with any 

particular geographic area. They are 

included in Numbering Resource 

Utilization Forecast (NRUF) Report data 

and fall within the definition of 

assigned numbers. Historically, nongeographic numbers were commonly 

used for ‘‘follow me’’ services, which 

allowed a consumer to receive a call at 

different locations, and were not used 

for independent subscribers. For that 

reason, the Commission did not 

previously include these numbers in the 

CMRS subscriber count estimates 

because it would result in double 

counting of subscribers. More recently, 

however, non-geographic numbers are 

increasingly used for machine-tomachine calling, such as wireless alarm 

monitoring and car emergency services 

subscriptions. Therefore, counting nongeographic numbers for regulatory fee 

purposes is no longer duplicative of the 

geographic number. No commenters 

oppose our proposal, and we therefore 

adopt it. 

C. Direct Broadcast Satellite Fees 

12. We adopt our proposal to 

complete the phase-in of the DBS 

regulatory fee and place all DBS, cable 

television, and internet Protocol 

television (IPTV) providers in the same 

fee category at the same per subscriber 

regulatory fee. Direct Broadcast Satellite 

(DBS) service is a nationally distributed 

subscription service that delivers video 

and audio programming via satellite to 

a small parabolic ‘‘dish’’ antenna at the 

subscriber’s location. DBS providers are 

multichannel video programming 

distributors (MVPDs), as defined in 

section 602(13) of the Act. The Media 

Bureau oversees the regulation of 

MVPDs, including the two providers of 

DBS in the United States: DISH Network 

and DIRECTV. Upon adoption of this 

Report and Order, the Commission will 

include cable, IPTV, and DBS in the 

same fee category. Commenters also 

request that the Commission use 

updated MVPD subscriber numbers that 

are closer in time to the release of the 

Commission’s annual regulatory fee 

order. While we understand this 

concern, we are unable to 

administratively accommodate this 

request. Since DBS subscriber 

information is not reported to the 

Commission, it would be difficult for 

the Commission to permit DBS 

providers to pay based on their most 

recent subscriber count in June, for 

example, because this subscriber count 

information would only become known 

to the Commission when DBS providers 

make their payment in late September. 

Therefore, we decline to make this 

change on the reporting date of DBS 

subscriber information. 

D. Full-Service Television Broadcaster 

Fees 

1. FY 2021 Regulatory Fees 

13. We adopt the use of the 

population-based methodology for fullservice television broadcasters for FY 

2021, as proposed. In FY 2020, the 

Commission completed the transition to 

a population-based full-power broadcast 

television regulatory fee, finding it to be 

more equitable. In the FY 2021 NPRM, 

we proposed adopting a factor of .8525 

of one cent ($.008525) per population 

served for FY 2021 full-power broadcast 

television station fees. We are, however, 

adopting a lower fee factor, .7793 of one 

cent ($.007793). This lower fee factor is 

a result of excluding radio and 

television broadcasters from the $33 

million portion of our appropriation 

that is earmarked for implementation of 

the Broadband DATA Act. The 

population data for each licensee and 

the population-based fee (population 

multiplied by $.007793) for each fullpower broadcast television station, 

including each satellite station, is listed 

in Table 7. Some commenters argue that 

the Commission’s resources in oversight 

and regulation do not increase or 

decrease depending on the population 

served by a broadcaster, and therefore 

we should not base the regulatory fee on 

the population served. These 

commenters do not, however, offer an 

alternative proposal that would be fair 

and reasonable to small and large 

broadcasters. As we have previously 

stated, the Commission’s methodology 

need not reach scientific precision, but 

simply be reasonable. 

2. Stations in Puerto Rico 

14. We adopt the same adjustments to 

population count for FY 2021 for TV 

broadcasters in Puerto Rico that we 

provided those broadcasters in FY 2020. 

Previously, a group of broadcasters in 

Puerto Rico argued that our 

methodology overstates the population 

served by Puerto Rico stations because 

the mountainous terrain conditions 

result in the TVStudy overstating the 

population served. They also argued 

that significant and measurable drops in 

Puerto Rico’s population resulting from 

an exodus caused in part by Hurricane 

Maria overstated that the population 

counts underlying the TVStudy. To 

address these concerns, in the FY 2020 

Report and Order, the Commission 

52744 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

reduced the population counts used in 

the TVStudy by 16.9%, or the decline 

between the last census in 2010 and the 

current population estimate. 

Additionally, the Commission limited 

the market served by primary television 

stations and commonly owned satellite 

broadcast stations in Puerto Rico to no 

more than 3.10 million people, the latest 

population estimate. We find that since 

commenters on this issue do not oppose 

the Commission’s actions, we adopt our 

proposals in the FY 2021 NPRM to 

adjust the population and to limit the 

market served by all stations to the total 

population. 

E. Toll-Free Numbers 

15. We decline to revise our rules and 

remove a Responsible Organizations 

(RespOrgs)’s responsibility to pay 

regulatory fees for toll-free numbers. 

Toll-free numbers allow callers to reach 

the called party without being charged 

for the call. With toll-free calls, the 

charge for the call is paid by the called 

party (the toll-free subscriber) instead. 

Historically, the Commission has not 

assessed regulatory fees on toll-free 

numbers under the rationale that the 

entities controlling the numbers, 

wireline and wireless carriers, were 

paying regulatory fees based on either 

revenues or subscribers. For reasons 

discussed in the FY 2014 Report and 

Order and the FY 2015 Report and 

Order, the Commission established a 

regulatory fee obligation for RespOrgs 

that manage toll-free numbers, 

beginning in FY 2015, so that toll-free 

numbers are allocated in an equitable 

and orderly manner that serves the 

public interest under section 251(e)(1) 

of the Act. 

16. A commenter contends that the 

regulatory fee for toll-free numbers 

should be assessed differently for 

entities that are not carriers, arguing that 

carriers that report revenues on FCC 

Form 499s, should be responsible for 

the payment of regulatory fees. 

Commenter contends that clients should 

remit the fee to the Commission under 

their own FCC Registration Numbers. 

We disagree and continue to believe that 

the existing process is orderly and 

equitable. While we recognize that 

many RespOrgs offset their fee 

payments to the Commission by passing 

these fees on to their customers who use 

the toll-free numbers, this practice is not 

mandatory. The statutory responsibility 

for payment of the regulatory fee rests 

solely with the regulated entity, the 

RespOrg, and not with customers of the 

RespOrg. Therefore, it is the 

responsibility of the RespOrg to pay the 

full amount of toll-free regulatory fees to 

the Commission by the fee due date. 

F. Submarine Cable Regulatory Fees 

17. We adopt our proposal to use the 

same tiers for assessing fees on 

submarine cable operators for FY 2021 

as in FY 2020, which are based on the 

‘‘lit’’ capacity of the fiber-optic 

submarine cable. International bearer 

circuits (IBCs) consist of terrestrial and 

satellite circuits and submarine cable 

systems. Prior to 2009, IBC regulatory 

fees were collected based on 64 kbps 

circuits for each of the three types of 

facilities used to provide international 

service. In 2009, at the request of a large 

number of submarine cable operators 

(‘‘2009 Consensus Proposal’’), the 

Commission changed the methodology 

for assessing IBC fees and began to 

assess fees on a per cable landing 

license basis, with higher fees for larger 

submarine cable systems and lower fees 

for smaller submarine cable systems. 

The Commission concluded that this 

methodology served the public interest 

and was competitively neutral because 

it included both common carriers and 

non-common carriers. Through FY 

2019, the Commission continued to 

assess fees for international service 

provided over terrestrial and satellite 

facilities based on a per 64 kbps basis 

with the proportion of 87.6% for 

submarine cable operators, and 12.4% 

for terrestrial and satellite facilities 

based on relative capacity at the time. 

Later, the Commission adopted a fivetier structure for assessing fees on 

submarine cables systems, with larger 

systems paying more based on lit 

capacity, and a per gigabits per second 

(Gbps) assessment on active circuit 

capacity for terrestrial and satellite 

facilities. 

18. In the FY 2020 Report and Order, 

the Commission revised the allocation 

of IBC fees and adopted new tiers for the 

fees. The Commission concluded that a 

ratio attributing 95% to submarine 

cables and 5% to terrestrial and satellite 

circuits would be more reasonable than 

the historic ratio. The Commission 

found again that capacity was an 

appropriate measure by which to assess 

IBC fees. The Commission rejected the 

use of a flat rate for submarine cables 

and adjusted the tiers for submarine 

cables. Subsequently, in the FY 2021 

NPRM, we proposed to use the same 

tiers for assessing fees on submarine 

cable operators as the Commission 

adopted in the FY 2020 Report and 

Order. We find there are no significant 

changes in our regulatory framework 

and oversight of submarine cables, or 

changes in the marketplace, to 

reevaluate our fee framework based on 

lit capacity. As the Commission has 

previously stated, lit capacity is a 

reasonable basis to assess regulatory 

costs among the submarine cable 

regulatees that benefit from the 

Commission’s work. We therefore find 

sufficient reason to adopt submarine 

cable systems fees based on lit capacity. 

G. Space Station Regulatory Fees 

1. NGSO Regulatory Fees—Less 

Complex and Other 

19. In 2020, the Commission adjusted 

the allocation of FTEs among GSO and 

NGSO space station and earth station 

operators. The Commission noted the 

disparity in number of units between 

GSO space stations (98) and NGSO 

systems (seven), and observed that 

many space stations can be operated 

under a single NGSO license while 

counting as a single unit for regulatory 

fee purposes, but only one satellite can 

be operated per GSO space station 

regulatory fee unit. To ensure that 

regulatory fees more closely reflect the 

work of FTEs’ oversight and regulation 

for each category, the Commission 

allocated 80% of space station 

regulatory fees to GSOs and 20% of the 

space station regulatory fees to NGSOs. 

20. In the Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking attached to the FY 2020 

Report and Order, the Commission 

sought comment on adopting 

subcategories of NGSO systems for 

regulatory fee purposes. Based on 

comments received, we concluded that 

space systems planning to communicate 

with 20 or fewer U.S. authorized earth 

stations that are primarily used for Earth 

Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) 

and/or Automatic Identification System 

(AIS) are significantly less complex to 

regulate than other types of NGSO 

systems. We concluded that this 

category of ‘‘less complex’’ systems does 

in fact require fewer Commission 

resources for several reasons. Such 

systems rarely involve resourceintensive NGSO processing rounds, 

based on their ability to share with other 

operators in the requested frequency 

bands. The ‘‘Other’’ types of NGSO 

systems typically have a more global 

presence, thereby requiring significantly 

more resources in connection with 

international forums. These other NGSO 

systems also have significant spectrum 

needs and involve a variety of frequency 

bands, technical issues, and services, 

constituting a significant part of the 

International Bureau’s NGSO work and 

resource allocation. We therefore 

adopted two new fee subcategories: 

‘‘less complex’’ NGSO systems and all 

other NGSO systems identified as 

‘‘other’’ NGSO systems, both under the 

broader category of ‘‘Space Stations 

(Non-Geostationary Orbit)’’ with an 20/ 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52745 

80 allocation within the NGSO fee 

category. We proposed a 20/80 

allocation (in the FY 2021 NPRM) 

within the category of NGSO fees, with 

‘‘less complex’’ NGSO systems 

responsible for 20% of NGSO regulatory 

fees and the remaining NGSO systems 

(‘‘other’’) responsible for 80% of NGSO 

regulatory fees. 

21. Several commenters disagree 

generally with creating NGSO 

subcategories, arguing that operators 

should not pay differing fees based on 

whether an NGSO system is ‘‘less 

complex.’’ Below, we discuss the NGSO 

subcategories and the allocation of the 

NGSO fees among the NGSO 

subcategories. 

a. NGSO Space Station Subcategories 

22. We reject commenters’ arguments 

that we should not have adopted the 

‘‘less complex’’ and ‘‘other’’ 

subcategories within the NGSO 

regulatory fee category. Our decision is 

based on the fact that commenters 

primarily rely on arguments that were 

fully considered and addressed as part 

of our decision in the Report and Order 

accompanying the FY 2021 NPRM, 

providing no new arguments or citing 

no new developments. Thus, our 

decision to create two NGSO fee 

subcategories incorporated elements of 

the specific proposals, and our decisionmaking process did not constitute an 

‘‘abrupt reversal’’ or ‘‘abrupt change in 

direction,’’ but was based on a fully 

developed record following a notice and 

comment rulemaking. 

23. We also disagree with the 

contention that we ‘‘attached misplaced 

significance’’ to application processing 

costs in determining the amount of 

Commission resources used in the 

oversight and regulation of NGSO 

systems because we took into 

consideration processing round 

procedures in concluding that certain 

NGSO systems require fewer 

Commission resources. Section 9 of the 

Communications Act requires the 

Commission to recover, through 

regulatory fees, the total amount of its 

appropriation each year. The 

Commission must consider all FTE time 

costs in recovering its regulatory fees. 

We perform a holistic analysis of our 

regulation of NGSO systems and the 

FTE time accorded the oversight and 

regulation thereof, including 

rulemakings benefiting those systems, 

which are directly relevant for purposes 

of assessing regulatory fees. In so doing, 

we look at the overall FTE time spent in 

oversight and regulation of the types of 

NGSO systems and identify examples of 

proceedings involving certain NGSO 

systems. 

24. Finally, we reject commenters’ 

allegations that the consideration of 

earth stations is overly simplistic. 

Comparative complexity in earth station 

siting and licensing is not relevant to 

our analysis to determine whether an 

NGSO space system is less complex to 

regulate. Regulatory fees for earth 

stations are separately assessed from 

space stations fees. Although individual 

earth station applications may differ in 

terms of Commission resources required 

to process, those activities are not 

relevant to determine whether a space 

system planning to communicate with 

such an earth station is a complex 

system or not. Similarly, we disagree 

with arguments that space station 

systems communicating with larger 

numbers of earth stations are not likely 

to require more Commission oversight 

and regulatory activities. While an earth 

station blanket license application for 

technically-identical user terminals may 

in some instances be fairly easily 

processed, the ongoing activities 

associated with regulating the 

corresponding NGSO space station 

system will be more intensive, because 

the number of earth stations is an 

indicator that the space system itself is 

more complex. Furthermore, we also 

disagree with the contention that our 

consideration of numbers of earth 

stations presupposes that EESS systems 

require no more than 20 earth stations 

to support their network. Our 

experience has shown that authorized 

EESS systems typically communicate 

with fewer than 20 earth stations in the 

United States, and takes into account 

earth stations owned and operated by a 

third party that communicate with a 

particular NGSO system. As indicated, 

we are using ‘‘fewer than 20 earth 

stations’’ as a proxy and at the 

application stage, if we determine that 

a space system is planning to 

communicate with more than 20 earth 

stations based on the system design, 

such system design and plans would 

indicate that the space system would 

not fall into the ‘‘less complex’’ system 

category for regulatory fee purposes. 

Nothing in the record, or our analysis of 

the resources the International Bureau 

devotes to NGSO oversight and 

regulation, demonstrates that we erred 

in adopting an additional NGSO space 

station regulatory fee category for ‘‘less 

complex’’ NGSO systems. 

b. 20/80 NGSO Regulatory Fee 

Allocation 

25. We adopt our proposal from the 

FY 2021 NPRM to allocate 20% of 

NGSO regulatory fees to ‘‘less complex’’ 

NGSO systems and 80% of NGSO 

regulatory fees to ‘‘other’ NGSO 

systems. In so doing, we consider the 

record, our experience, and analysis of 

the time International Bureau FTEs 

devote to oversight and regulation of 

‘‘less complex’’ and ‘‘other’’ NGSO 

systems. While some commenters agree 

with the 20/80 allocation, others 

disagree. Many of those commenters 

disagree with the underlying creation of 

the ‘‘less complex’’ NGSO fee category, 

as adopted. The Commission considered 

various aspects of the Commission’s 

oversight and the amount of FTE time 

devoted to the subcategories of NGSOs, 

specifically on the number of 

applications processed, the number of 

changes made to the Commission’s 

rules, and the number of FTEs working 

on oversight for each category of 

operators. Here, in evaluating the FTE 

time devoted to the subcategories to 

develop the proposed 20/80 allocation, 

we considered the adjudicatory role of 

the Commission in connection with 

different types of NGSO systems— 

which is typically more intensive for 

those systems authorized as part of 

processing rounds. We also considered 

the number of rulemakings over the last 

several years, as well as current 

rulemakings, and which types of NGSO 

systems were implicated in those 

rulemaking activities, and we 

considered the various international 

activities that Commission staff engage 

in and how those activities benefit the 

different types of NGSO systems. We 

then considered the number of FTEs 

typically working on processing round 

issues/adjudications on an ongoing 

basis, compared the number of FTEs 

working on various rulemakings, and 

considered the number of FTEs in the 

International Bureau that engage in 

various international activities and 

forums, and the extent to which such 

activities benefit each category of NGSO 

system. Our allocation percentage is 

based on our quantitative experience 

(approximate numbers of FTE hours 

spent in a year) and expert judgement, 

and such calculation remains to be the 

best approximation of our FTE cost 

allocation at this time, based on the 

record before us. The fees must be 

administrable, and we note again that 

the Commission’s methodology need 

not reach scientific precision and 

instead must simply be reasonable. 

2. NGSO Regulatory Fees—Satellites 

Authorized Under Multiple Call Signs 

26. We find it premature to make a 

determination how the Commission’s 

regulatory fees should apply to NGSO 

satellites operating as an integrated 

NGSO system, but authorized under 

multiple call signs. Several commenters 

to the FY 2021 NPRM asked us to clarify 

52746 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

whether NGSO satellites operating as an 

integrated NGSO system, but authorized 

under multiple call signs, should be 

considered part of the same system— 

and therefore be assessed a single 

regulatory fee. Specifically, commenters 

suggest that the Commission should 

consider NGSO satellites operating as 

part of the system—but authorized 

under multiple call signs (even by 

different operators)—as one ‘‘system’’ 

for purposes of NGSO regulatory fees. 

The Commision does not currently have 

any authorized NGSO systems that fit 

the description of a multi-regulatee/ 

multi-call sign NGSO system. The 

answer is likely to be fact-specific, and 

involve a determination of what exactly 

constitutes an NGSO ‘‘system’’ and 

where the space stations in the 

‘‘system’’ are operated by different 

entities. In the case of GSO space 

stations, it is clear when there are 

multiple licensees associated with the 

same physical satellite. The situation is 

less clear for NGSO systems because the 

situation could quickly become 

factually complex where different space 

stations in the ‘‘system’’ are described as 

attributable to different entities for 

regulatory fee purposes. We will 

continue to apply the general 

presumption that NGSO systems 

operated by different licensees or 

market access grantees constitute 

different NGSO systems. 

H. Flexibility for Regulatory Payors Due 

to COVID–19 Pandemic 

27. As proposed in the FY 2021 

NPRM, we extend the temporary 

COVID–19 regulatory fee relief measures 

that were implemented in our FY 2020 

Report and Order. Last year, the 

Commission adopted certain relief 

measures to address concerns raised by 

commenters about financial hardship 

caused by the COVID–19 pandemic. 

Comments received in response to the 

FY 2021 NPRM indicate that the 

financial hardship caused by the 

pandemic have continued into the 2021 

fiscal year. Accordingly, we find good 

reason to continue the same relief 

measures we adopted in FY 2020 for FY 

2021. 

28. Specifically, for FY 2021, we again 

waive section 1.1166 of our rules, to the 

extent necessary, to permit parties 

seeking regulatory fee waiver, deferral 

and/or installment payment relief for 

financial hardship reasons related to the 

pandemic. Those parties may make a 

single request for all forms of relief 

sought, whether in combination or in 

the alternative, and may submit all such 

requests for relief electronically to the 

Commission via a dedicated email 

address. For FY 2021, the email address 

is 2021regfeerelief@fcc.gov. 

Additionally, we partially waive our 

red-light rule to allow debtors that are 

experiencing financial hardship to 

nonetheless request relief with respect 

to their regulatory fees. As we provided 

in FY 2020, however, such regulatees 

are required to resolve all delinquent 

debt by paying it in full, entering into 

an installment agreement to repay it, 

and/or if applicable, curing all payment 

and other defaults under existing 

installment agreements. We believe the 

existing waiver standard together with 

the measures described above will work 

as designed, to provide fee relief to 

those regulatees most in need. 

29. Regulatees whose businesses have 

been hurt by the pandemic, but not to 

the extent required to receive a waiver, 

reduction, or deferral, may be eligible to 

pay their FY 2021 fees in installments 

under section 1.1914 of our rules. For 

those regulatees, we exercise our 

discretion under section 3717(a) of the 

Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996, as amended, to reduce the interest 

rate the Commission charges on 

installments payments to a nominal rate 

and we suspend our down payment 

requirement. We also recognize that 

demonstrating financial hardship 

caused by the pandemic may require 

different financial documentation than 

the documentation the Commission has 

traditionally accepted. While the burden 

of proving financial hardship remains 

with the party requesting it, we again 

direct the Managing Director to work 

with individual regulatees that have 

filed requests if additional documents 

are needed to render a decision on the 

request. Finally, we direct the Managing 

Director to release one or more public 

notices describing in more detail the 

relief we have described herein. 

We remind regulatees that we cannot 

relax the standard for granting a waiver 

or deferral of fees, penalties, or other 

charges for late payment of regulatory 

fees under section 9A of the Act. Under 

the statute, the Commission may only 

waive a regulatory fee, penalty or 

interest if it finds there is good cause for 

the waiver and that the waiver is in the 

public interest. The Commission has 

only granted financial hardship waivers 

when the requesting party has shown it 

‘‘lacks sufficient funds to pay the 

regulatory fees and to maintain its 

service to the public.’’ Other statutory 

limitations include that the Commission 

must act on waiver requests 

individually, and cannot extend the 

deadline we set for payment of fees 

beyond September 30. 

III. Procedural Matters 

30. Included below are procedural 

items as well as our current payment 

and collection methods. 

31. Credit Card Transaction Levels. In 

accordance with Treasury Financial 

Manual, Volume I, Part 5, Chapter 7000, 

Section 7045—Limitations on Card 

Collection Transactions, the highest 

amount that can be charged on a credit 

card for transactions with federal 

agencies is $24,999.99. Transactions 

greater than $24,999.99 will be rejected. 

This limit applies to single payments or 

bundled payments of more than one 

bill. Multiple transactions to a single 

agency in one day may be aggregated 

and treated as a single transaction 

subject to the $24,999.99 limit. 

Customers who wish to pay an amount 

greater than $24,999.99 should consider 

available electronic alternatives such as 

Visa or MasterCard debit cards, ACH 

debits from a bank account, and wire 

transfers. Each of these payment options 

is available after filing regulatory fee 

information in Fee Filer. Further details 

will be provided regarding payment 

methods and procedures at the time of 

FY 2021 regulatory fee collection in Fact 

Sheets, https://www.fcc.gov/regfees. 

32. Payment Methods. Pursuant to an 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) directive, the Commission is 

moving towards a paperless 

environment, extending to disbursement 

and collection of select federal 

government payments and receipts. In 

2015, the Commission stopped 

accepting checks (including cashier’s 

checks and money orders) and the 

accompanying hardcopy forms (e.g., 

Forms 159, 159–B, 159–E, 159–W) for 

the payment of regulatory fees. During 

the fee season for collecting regulatory 

fees, regulatees can pay their fees by 

credit card through Pay.gov, ACH, debit 

card, or by wire transfer. Additional 

payment instructions are posted on the 

Commission’s website at http://

transition.fcc.gov/fees/regfees.html. The 

receiving bank for all wire payments is 

the U.S. Treasury, New York, NY 

(TREAS NYC). Any other form of 

payment (e.g., checks, cashier’s checks, 

or money orders) will be rejected. For 

payments by wire, a Form 159–E should 

still be transmitted via fax so that the 

Commission can associate the wire 

payment with the correct regulatory fee 

information. The fax should be sent to 

the Federal Communications 

Commission at (202) 418–2843 at least 

one hour before initiating the wire 

transfer (but on the same business day) 

so as not to delay crediting their 

account. Regulatees should discuss 

arrangements (including bank closing 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52747 

schedules) with their bankers several 

days before they plan to make the wire 

transfer to allow sufficient time for the 

transfer to be initiated and completed 

before the deadline. Complete 

instructions for making wire payments 

are posted at https://www.fcc.gov/ 

licensing-databases/fees/wire-transfer. 

33. De Minimis Regulatory Fees, 

Section 9(e)(2) Exemption. Under the de 

minimis rule, and pursuant to our 

analysis under section 9(e)(2) of the Act, 

a regulatee is exempt from paying 

regulatory fees if the sum total of all of 

its annual regulatory fee liabilities is 

$1,000 or less for the fiscal year. The de 

minimis threshold applies only to filers 

of annual regulatory fees, not regulatory 

fees paid through multi-year filings, and 

it is not a permanent exemption. Each 

regulatee will need to reevaluate the 

total annual fee liability each fiscal year 

to determine whether it meets the de 

minimis exemption. 

34. Standard Fee Calculations and 

Payment Dates. The Commission will 

accept fee payments made in advance of 

the window for the payment of 

regulatory fees. The responsibility for 

payment of fees by service category is as 

follows: 

• Media Services: Regulatory fees 

must be paid for initial construction 

permits that were granted on or before 

October 1, 2020 for AM/FM radio 

stations, VHF/UHF broadcast television 

stations, and satellite television stations. 

Regulatory fees must be paid for all 

broadcast facility licenses granted on or 

before October 1, 2020. 

• Wireline (Common Carrier) 

Services: Regulatory fees must be paid 

for authorizations that were granted on 

or before October 1, 2020. In instances 

where a permit or license is transferred 

or assigned after October 1, 2020, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. Audio bridging service 

providers are included in this category. 

For Responsible Organizations 

(RespOrgs) that manage Toll Free 

Numbers (TFN), regulatory fees should 

be paid on all working, assigned, and 

reserved toll free numbers as well as toll 

free numbers in any other status as 

defined in section 52.103 of the 

Commission’s rules. The unit count 

should be based on toll free numbers 

managed by RespOrgs on or about 

December 31, 2020. 

• Wireless Services: CMRS cellular, 

mobile, and messaging services (fees 

based on number of subscribers or 

telephone number count): Regulatory 

fees must be paid for authorizations that 

were granted on or before October 1, 

2020. The number of subscribers, units, 

or telephone numbers on December 31, 

2020 will be used as the basis from 

which to calculate the fee payment. In 

instances where a permit or license is 

transferred or assigned after October 1, 

2020, responsibility for payment rests 

with the holder of the permit or license 

as of the fee due date. 

• Wireless Services, Multi-year fees: 

The first eight regulatory fee categories 

in our Schedule of Regulatory Fees pay 

‘‘small multi-year wireless regulatory 

fees.’’ Entities pay these regulatory fees 

in advance for the entire amount period 

covered by the ten-year terms of their 

initial licenses, and pay regulatory fees 

again only when the license is renewed, 

or a new license is obtained. We include 

these fee categories in our rulemaking to 

publicize our estimates of the number of 

‘‘small multi-year wireless’’ licenses 

that will be renewed or newly obtained 

in FY 2021. 

• Multichannel Video Programming 

Distributor Services (cable television 

operators, CARS licensees, DBS, and 

IPTV): Regulatory fees must be paid for 

the number of basic cable television 

subscribers as of December 31, 2020. 

Regulatory fees also must be paid for 

CARS licenses that were granted on or 

before October 1, 2020. In instances 

where a permit or license is transferred 

or assigned after October 1, 2020, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. For providers of DBS 

service and IPTV-based MVPDs, 

regulatory fees should be paid based on 

a subscriber count on or about 

December 31, 2020. In instances where 

a permit or license is transferred or 

assigned after October 1, 2020, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. 

• International Services (Earth 

Stations and Space Stations): 

Regulatory fees must be paid for (1) 

earth stations and (2) geostationary orbit 

space stations and non-geostationary 

orbit satellite systems that were licensed 

and operational on or before October 1, 

2020. In instances where a permit or 

license is transferred or assigned after 

October 1, 2020, responsibility for 

payment rests with the holder of the 

permit or license as of the fee due date. 

• International Services (Submarine 

Cable Systems, Terrestrial and Satellite 

Services): Regulatory fees for submarine 

cable systems are to be paid on a per 

cable landing license basis based on lit 

circuit capacity as of December 31, 

2020. Regulatory fees for terrestrial and 

satellite IBCs are to be paid based on 

active (used or leased) international 

bearer circuits as of December 31, 2020 

in any terrestrial or satellite 

transmission facility for the provision of 

service to an end user or resale carrier. 

When calculating the number of such 

active circuits, entities must include 

circuits used by themselves or their 

affiliates. For these purposes, ‘‘active 

circuits’’ include backup and redundant 

circuits as of December 31, 2020. 

Whether circuits are used specifically 

for voice or data is not relevant for 

purposes of determining that they are 

active circuits. In instances where a 

permit or license is transferred or 

assigned after October 1, 2020, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. 

35. Commercial Mobile Radio Service 

(CMRS) and Mobile Services 

Assessments. The Commission 

compiled data from the Numbering 

Resource Utilization Forecast (NRUF) 

report that is based on ‘‘assigned’’ 

telephone number (subscriber) counts 

that have been adjusted for porting to 

net Type 0 ports (‘‘in’’ and ‘‘out’’). We 

have included non-geographic numbers 

in the calculation of the number of 

subscribers for each CMRS provider in 

Tables 2 and the CMRS regulatory fee 

rate in Table 3. CMRS provider 

regulatory fees are calculated and 

should be paid based on the inclusion 

of non-geographic numbers. CMRS 

providers can adjust the total number of 

subscribers, if needed. This information 

of telephone numbers (subscriber count) 

will be posted on the Commission’s 

electronic filing and payment system 

(Fee Filer). 

36. A carrier wishing to revise its 

telephone number (subscriber) count 

can do so by accessing Fee Filer and 

follow the prompts to revise their 

telephone number counts. Any revisions 

to the telephone number counts should 

be accompanied by an explanation or 

supporting documentation. The 

Commission will then review the 

revised count and supporting 

documentation and either approve or 

disapprove the submission in Fee Filer. 

If the submission is disapproved, the 

Commission will contact the provider to 

afford the provider an opportunity to 

discuss its revised subscriber count and/ 

or provide additional supporting 

documentation. If we receive no 

response from the provider, or we do 

not reverse our initial disapproval of the 

provider’s revised count submission, the 

fee payment must be based on the 

number of subscribers listed initially in 

Fee Filer. Once the timeframe for 

revision has passed, the telephone 

number counts are final and are the 

basis upon which CMRS regulatory fees 

are to be paid. Providers can view their 

final telephone counts online in Fee 

52748 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

Filer. A final CMRS assessment letter 

will not be mailed out. 

37. Because some carriers do not file 

the NRUF report, they may not see their 

telephone number counts in Fee Filer. 

In these instances, the carriers should 

compute their fee payment using the 

standard methodology that is currently 

in place for CMRS Wireless services 

(i.e., compute their telephone number 

counts as of December 31, 2020), and 

submit their fee payment accordingly. 

Whether a carrier reviews its telephone 

number counts in Fee Filer or not, the 

Commission reserves the right to audit 

the number of telephone numbers for 

which regulatory fees are paid. In the 

event that the Commission determines 

that the number of telephone numbers 

that are paid is inaccurate, the 

Commission will bill the carrier for the 

difference between what was paid and 

what should have been paid. 

38. Effective Date. Providing a 30-day 

period after Federal Register 

publication before this Report and Order 

and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

becomes effective as normally required 

by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) will not allow 

sufficient time to collect the FY 2021 

fees before FY 2021 ends on September 

30, 2021. For this reason, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3), we find there is good 

cause to waive the requirements of 

section 553(d), and this Report and 

Order and Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking will become effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Because payments of the regulatory fees 

will not actually be due until late 

September, persons affected by the 

Report and Order will still have a 

reasonable period in which to make 

their payments and thereby comply 

with the rules established herein. 

39. Final Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis. As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) the 

Commission has prepared a Final 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) 

relating to this Report and Order. The 

FRFA is contained in the back of this 

document. 

40. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

Analysis. This document does not 

contain new or modified information 

collection requirements subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law 104–13. In addition, 

therefore, it does not contain any new 

or modified information collection 

burden for small business concerns with 

fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to 

the Small Business Paperwork Relief 

Act of 2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). 

41. Congressional Review Act. The 

Commission has determined, and the 

Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

concurs that these rules are non-major 

under the Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will 

send a copy of this Report and Order 

and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to 

Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

52750 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

1The fee amounts listed in the column entitled ‘‘Rounded New FY 2021 Regulatory Fee’’ constitute a weighted average broadcast regulatory fee by class of service. The actual FY 2021 regulatory fees for AM/FM radio station are listed on a grid located at the end of Table 3. 2The AM and FM Construction Permit revenues and the Digital (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues were adjusted, respectively, to set the regulatory fee to 

an amount no higher than the lowest licensed fee for that class of service. Reductions in the Digital (VHF/UHF) Construction Permit revenues, and in the AM and FM 

Construction Permit revenues, were offset by increases in the revenue totals for Digital television stations by market size, and in the AM and FM radio stations by 

class size and population served, respectively. 3The MDS/MMDS category was renamed Broadband Radio Service (BRS). See Amendment of Parts 1, 21, 73, 74 and 101 of the Commission’s Rules to Facilitate 

the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, Educational and Other Advanced Services in the 2150–2162 and 2500–2690 MHz Bands, Report & Order and 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 19 FCC Rcd 14165, 14169, para. 6 (2004). 4The chart at the end of Table 3 lists the submarine cable bearer circuit regulatory fees (common and non-common carrier basis) that resulted from the adoption of 

the Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 24 FCC Rcd 6388 (2008) 

and Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2008, Second Report and Order, 24 FCC Rcd 4208 (2009). The Submarine Cable fee in Table 2 

is a weighted average of the various fee payers in the chart at the end of Table 3. 5The actual digital television regulatory fees to be paid by call sign are identified in Table 7.

Table 4—Sources of Payment Unit 

Estimates for FY 2021 

In order to calculate individual 

service fees for FY 2021, we adjusted FY 

2020 payment units for each service to 

more accurately reflect expected FY 

2021 payment liabilities. We obtained 

our updated estimates through a variety 

of means and sources. For example, we 

used Commission licensee data bases, 

actual prior year payment records and 

industry and trade association 

projections, when available. The 

databases we consulted include our 

Universal Licensing System (ULS), 

International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS), Consolidated Database System 

(CDBS), Licensing and Management 

System (LMS) and Cable Operations and 

Licensing System (COALS), as well as 

reports generated within the 

Commission such as the Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau’s 

Numbering Resource Utilization 

Forecast. Regulatory fee payment units 

are not all the same for all fee categories. 

For most fee categories, the term ‘‘units’’ 

reflect licenses or permits that have 

been issued, but for other fee categories, 

the term ‘‘units’’ reflect quantities such 

as subscribers, population counts, 

circuit counts, telephone numbers, and 

revenues. 

We sought verification for these 

estimates from multiple sources and, in 

all cases, we compared FY 2021 

estimates with actual FY 2020 payment 

units to ensure that our revised 

estimates were reasonable. Where 

appropriate, we adjusted and/or 

rounded our final estimates to take into 

consideration the fact that certain 

variables that impact on the number of 

payment units cannot yet be estimated 

with sufficient accuracy. These include 

an unknown number of waivers and/or 

exemptions that may occur in FY 2021 

and the fact that, in many services, the 

number of actual licensees or station 

operators fluctuates from time to time 

due to economic, technical, or other 

reasons. When we note, for example, 

that our estimated FY 2021 payment 

units are based on FY 2020 actual 

payment units, it does not necessarily 

mean that our FY 2021 projection is 

exactly the same number as in FY 2020. 

We have either rounded the FY 2020 

number or adjusted it slightly to account 

for these variables. 

Fee category Sources of payment unit estimates 

Land Mobile (All), Microwave, Marine (Ship & Coast), 

Aviation (Aircraft & Ground), Domestic Public Fixed.

Table 5—Factors, Measurements, and 

Calculations That Determine Station 

Signal Contours and Associated 

Population Coverages 

AM Stations 

For stations with nondirectional 

daytime antennas, the theoretical 

radiation was used at all azimuths. For 

stations with directional daytime 

antennas, specific information on each 

day tower, including field ratio, phase, 

spacing, and orientation was retrieved, 

as well as the theoretical pattern rootmean-square of the radiation in all 

directions in the horizontal plane (RMS) 

figure (milliVolt per meter (mV/m) @1 

km) for the antenna system. The 

standard, or augmented standard if 

pertinent, horizontal plane radiation 

pattern was calculated using techniques 

and methods specified in sections 

73.150 and 73.152 of the Commission’s 

rules. Radiation values were calculated 

52752 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

for each of 360 radials around the 

transmitter site. Next, estimated soil 

conductivity data was retrieved from a 

database representing the information in 

FCC Figure R3. Using the calculated 

horizontal radiation values, and the 

retrieved soil conductivity data, the 

distance to the principal community (5 

mV/m) contour was predicted for each 

of the 360 radials. The resulting 

distance to principal community 

contours were used to form a 

geographical polygon. Population 

counting was accomplished by 

determining which 2010 block centroids 

were contained in the polygon. (A block 

centroid is the center point of a small 

area containing population as computed 

by the U.S. Census Bureau.) The sum of 

the population figures for all enclosed 

blocks represents the total population 

for the predicted principal community 

coverage area. 

FM Stations 

The greater of the horizontal or 

vertical effective radiated power (ERP) 

(kW) and respective height above 

average terrain (HAAT) (m) combination 

was used. Where the antenna height 

above mean sea level (HAMSL) was 

available, it was used in lieu of the 

average HAAT figure to calculate 

specific HAAT figures for each of 360 

radials under study. Any available 

directional pattern information was 

applied as well, to produce a radialspecific ERP figure. The HAAT and ERP 

figures were used in conjunction with 

the Field Strength (50–50) propagation 

curves specified in 47 CFR 73.313 of the 

Commission’s rules to predict the 

distance to the principal community (70 

dBu (decibel above 1 microVolt per 

meter) or 3.17 mV/m) contour for each 

of the 360 radials. The resulting 

distance to principal community 

contours were used to form a 

geographical polygon. Population 

counting was accomplished by 

determining which 2010 block centroids 

were contained in the polygon. The sum 

of the population figures for all enclosed 

blocks represents the total population 

for the predicted principal community 

coverage area.

IV. Final Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis 

1. As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended 

(RFA), an Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis (IRFA) was included in the 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

for fiscal year 2021. The Commission 

sought written public comment on these 

proposals including comment on the 

IRFA. This Final Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis (FRFA) conforms to the IRFA. 

A. Need for, and Objectives of, the 

Report and Order 

2. In the Report and Order, the 

Commission adopts a regulatory fee 

schedule to collect $374,000,000 in 

congressionally required regulatory fees 

for fiscal year (FY) 2021. Under section 

9 of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended, (Communications Act or 

Act), regulatory fees are mandated by 

Congress and collected to recover the 

regulatory costs associated with the 

Commission’s enforcement, policy and 

rulemaking, user information, and 

international activities in an amount 

that can be reasonably expected to equal 

the amount of the Commission’s annual 

appropriation. The objective in the 

Report for adopting the regulatory fee 

schedule is to comply with the 

Congressional mandate to recover the 

total amount of the Commission’s 

annual appropriation, from the various 

industries for which the Commission 

provides oversight or regulation, based 

on the number of full time employees 

(FTEs) involved in such oversight and 

regulation in the licensing bureaus. 

B. Summary of the Significant Issues 

Raised by the Public Comments in 

Response to the IRFA 

3. None. 

C. Response to Comments by the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration 

4. No comments were filed by the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration. 

D. Description and Estimate of the 

Number of Small Entities to Which the 

Rules Will Apply 

5. The RFA directs agencies to 

provide a description of, and where 

feasible, an estimate of the number of 

small entities that may be affected by 

the proposed rules and policies, if 

adopted. The RFA generally defines the 

term ‘‘small entity’’ as having the same 

meaning as the terms ‘‘small business,’’ 

‘‘small organization,’’ and ‘‘small 

governmental jurisdiction.’’ In addition, 

the term ‘‘small business’’ has the same 

meaning as the term ‘‘small business 

concern’’ under the Small Business Act. 

A ‘‘small business concern’’ is one 

which: (1) Is independently owned and 

operated; (2) is not dominant in its field 

of operation; and (3) satisfies any 

additional criteria established by the 

SBA. 

6. Small Businesses, Small 

Organizations, Small Governmental 

Jurisdictions. Small Businesses, Small 

Organizations, Small Governmental 

Jurisdictions. Our actions, over time, 

may affect small entities that are not 

easily categorized at present. We 

therefore describe here, at the outset, 

three broad groups of small entities that 

could be directly affected herein. First, 

while there are industry specific size 

standards for small businesses that are 

used in the regulatory flexibility 

analysis, according to data from the 

Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 

Office of Advocacy, in general a small 

business is an independent business 

having fewer than 500 employees. These 

types of small businesses represent 

99.9% of all businesses in the United 

States, which translates to 30.7 million 

businesses. 

7. Next, the type of small entity 

described as a ‘‘small organization’’ is 

generally ‘‘any not-for-profit enterprise 

which is independently owned and 

operated and is not dominant in its 

field.’’ The Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS) uses a revenue benchmark of 

$50,000 or less to delineate its annual 

electronic filing requirements for small 

exempt organizations. Nationwide, for 

tax year 2018, there were approximately 

571,709 small exempt organizations in 

the U.S. reporting revenues of $50,000 

or less according to the registration and 

tax data for exempt organizations 

available from the IRS. 

8. Finally, the small entity described 

as a ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction’’ 

is defined generally as ‘‘governments of 

cities, counties, towns, townships, 

villages, school districts, or special 

districts, with a population of less than 

fifty thousand.’’ U.S. Census Bureau 

data from the 2017 Census of 

Governments indicate that there were 

90,075 local governmental jurisdictions 

consisting of general purpose 

governments and special purpose 

governments in the United States. Of 

this number there were 36,931 general 

purpose governments (county, 

municipal and town or township) with 

populations of less than 50,000 and 

12,040 special purpose governments— 

independent school districts with 

enrollment populations of less than 5ll 

governmental jurisdictions.’’ 

9. Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers. The U.S. Census Bureau 

defines this industry as ‘‘establishments 

primarily engaged in operating and/or 

providing access to transmission 

facilities and infrastructure that they 

own and/or lease for the transmission of 

voice, data, text, sound, and video using 

wired communications networks. 

Transmission facilities may be based on 

a single technology or a combination of 

technologies. Establishments in this 

industry use the wired 

telecommunications network facilities 

that they operate to provide a variety of 

services, such as wired telephony 

services, including Voice over internet 

Protocol (VoIP) services, wired (cable 

and IPTV) audio and video 

programming distribution, and wired 

broadband internet services. By 

exception, establishments providing 

satellite television distribution services 

using facilities and infrastructure that 

they operate are included in this 

industry.’’ The SBA has developed a 

small business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers, which 

consists of all such companies having 

1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2012 show that there 

were 3,117 firms that operated that year. 

Of this total, 3,083 operated with fewer 

52782 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

than 1,000 employees. Thus, under this 

size standard, the majority of firms in 

this industry can be considered small. 

10. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). 

Neither the Commission nor the SBA 

has developed a size standard for small 

businesses specifically applicable to 

local exchange services. The closest 

applicable NAICS Code category is 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers. 

Under the applicable SBA size standard, 

such a business is small if it has 1,500 

or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2012 show that there were 3,117 

firms that operated for the entire year. 

Of that total, 3,083 operated with fewer 

than 1,000 employees. Thus under this 

category and the associated size 

standard, the Commission estimates that 

the majority of local exchange carriers 

are small entities. 

11. Incumbent LECs. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA has developed 

a small business size standard 

specifically for incumbent local 

exchange services. The closest 

applicable NAICS Code category is 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers. 

Under the applicable SBA size standard, 

such a business is small if it has 1,500 

or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 firms 

operated the entire year. Of this total, 

3,083 operated with fewer than 1,000 

employees. Consequently, the 

Commission estimates that most 

providers of incumbent local exchange 

service are small businesses that may be 

affected by our actions. According to 

Commission data, one thousand three 

hundred and seven (1,307) Incumbent 

Local Exchange Carriers reported that 

they were incumbent local exchange 

service providers. Of this total, an 

estimated 1,006 have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Thus, using the SBA’s size 

standard the majority of incumbent 

LECs can be considered small entities. 

12. Competitive Local Exchange 

Carriers (Competitive LECs), 

Competitive Access Providers (CAPs), 

Shared-Tenant Service Providers, and 

Other Local Service Providers. Neither 

the Commission nor the SBA has 

developed a small business size 

standard specifically for these service 

providers. The appropriate NAICS Code 

category is Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers and under that size standard, 

such a business is small if it has 1,500 

or fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2012 indicate that 3,117 firms 

operated during that year. Of that 

number, 3,083 operated with fewer than 

1,000 employees. Based on these data, 

the Commission concludes that the 

majority of Competitive LECS, CAPs, 

Shared-Tenant Service Providers, and 

Other Local Service Providers, are small 

entities. According to Commission data, 

1,442 carriers reported that they were 

engaged in the provision of either 

competitive local exchange services or 

competitive access provider services. Of 

these 1,442 carriers, an estimated 1,256 

have 1,500 or fewer employees. In 

addition, 17 carriers have reported that 

they are Shared-Tenant Service 

Providers, and all 17 are estimated to 

have 1,500 or fewer employees. Also, 72 

carriers have reported that they are 

Other Local Service Providers. Of this 

total, 70 have 1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, based on internally 

researched FCC data, the Commission 

estimates that most providers of 

competitive local exchange service, 

competitive access providers, SharedTenant Service Providers, and Other 

Local Service Providers are small 

entities. 

13. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs). 

Neither the Commission nor the SBA 

has developed a small business size 

standard specifically for Interexchange 

Carriers. The closest applicable NAICS 

Code category is Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers. The 

applicable size standard under SBA 

rules is that such a business is small if 

it has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. 

Census Bureau data for 2012 indicate 

that 3,117 firms operated for the entire 

year. Of that number, 3,083 operated 

with fewer than 1,000 employees. 

According to internally developed 

Commission data, 359 companies 

reported that their primary 

telecommunications service activity was 

the provision of interexchange services. 

Of this total, an estimated 317 have 

1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, the Commission 

estimates that the majority of 

interexchange service providers are 

small entities. 

14. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. 

Neither the Commission nor the SBA 

has developed a small business size 

standard specifically for prepaid calling 

card providers. The appropriate NAICS 

code category for prepaid calling card 

providers is Telecommunications 

Resellers. This industry comprises 

establishments engaged in purchasing 

access and network capacity from 

owners and operators of 

telecommunications networks and 

reselling wired and wireless 

telecommunications services (except 

satellite) to businesses and households. 

Establishments in this industry resell 

telecommunications; they do not 

operate transmission facilities and 

infrastructure. Mobile virtual network 

operators (MVNOs) are included in this 

industry. The SBA has developed a 

small business size standard for the 

category of Telecommunications 

Resellers. Under that size standard, such 

a business is small if it has 1,500 or 

fewer employees. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2012 show that 1,341 firms 

provided resale services during that 

year. Of that number, 1,341 operated 

with fewer than 1,000 employees. Thus, 

under this category and the associated 

small business size standard, the 

majority of these resellers can be 

considered small entities. According to 

Commission data, 193 carriers have 

reported that they are engaged in the 

provision of prepaid calling cards. All 

193 carriers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, the 

Commission estimates that the majority 

of prepaid calling card providers are 

small. 

15. Local Resellers. The SBA has not 

developed a small business size 

standard specifically for Local Resellers. 

The SBA category of 

Telecommunications Resellers is the 

closest NAICs code category for local 

resellers. The Telecommunications 

Resellers industry comprises 

establishments engaged in purchasing 

access and network capacity from 

owners and operators of 

telecommunications networks and 

reselling wired and wireless 

telecommunications services (except 

satellite) to businesses and households. 

Establishments in this industry resell 

telecommunications; they do not 

operate transmission facilities and 

infrastructure. Mobile virtual network 

operators (MVNOs) are included in this 

industry. Under the SBA’s size 

standard, such a business is small if it 

has 1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. 

Census Bureau data from 2012 show 

that 1,341 firms provided resale services 

during that year. Of that number, all 

operated with fewer than 1,000 

employees. Thus, under this category 

and the associated small business size 

standard, the majority of these resellers 

can be considered small entities. 

According to Commission data, 213 

carriers have reported that they are 

engaged in the provision of local resale 

services. Of these, an estimated 211 

have 1,500 or fewer employees and two 

have more than 1,500 employees. 

Consequently, the Commission 

estimates that the majority of local 

resellers are small entities. 

16. Toll Resellers. The Commission 

has not developed a definition for Toll 

Resellers. The closest NAICS Code 

Category is Telecommunications 

Resellers. The Telecommunications 

Resellers industry comprises 

establishments engaged in purchasing 

access and network capacity from 

owners and operators of 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52783 

telecommunications networks and 

reselling wired and wireless 

telecommunications services (except 

satellite) to businesses and households. 

Establishments in this industry resell 

telecommunications; they do not 

operate transmission facilities and 

infrastructure. MVNOs are included in 

this industry. The SBA has developed a 

small business size standard for the 

category of Telecommunications 

Resellers. Under that size standard, such 

a business is small if it has 1,500 or 

fewer employees. 2012 Census Bureau 

data show that 1,341 firms provided 

resale services during that year. Of that 

number, 1,341 operated with fewer than 

1,000 employees. Thus, under this 

category and the associated small 

business size standard, the majority of 

these resellers can be considered small 

entities. According to Commission data, 

881 carriers have reported that they are 

engaged in the provision of toll resale 

services. Of this total, an estimated 857 

have 1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, the Commission 

estimates that the majority of toll 

resellers are small entities. 

17. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA has developed 

a size standard for small businesses 

specifically applicable to Other Toll 

Carriers. This category includes toll 

carriers that do not fall within the 

categories of interexchange carriers, 

operator service providers, prepaid 

calling card providers, satellite service 

carriers, or toll resellers. The closest 

applicable NAICS code category is for 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers, as 

defined in paragraph 6 of this IRFA. 

Under that size standard, such a 

business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer 

employees. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2012 show that there were 3,117 firms 

that operated that year. Of this total, 

3,083 operated with fewer than 1,000 

employees. Thus, under this size 

standard, the majority of firms in this 

industry can be considered small. 

According to Commission data, 284 

companies reported that their primary 

telecommunications service activity was 

the provision of other toll carriage. Of 

these, an estimated 279 have 1,500 or 

fewer employees. Consequently, the 

Commission estimates that most Other 

Toll Carriers are small entities. 

18. Wireless Telecommunications 

Carriers (except Satellite). This industry 

comprises establishments engaged in 

operating and maintaining switching 

and transmission facilities to provide 

communications via the airwaves. 

Establishments in this industry have 

spectrum licenses and provide services 

using that spectrum, such as cellular 

services, paging services, wireless 

internet access, and wireless video 

services. The appropriate size standard 

under SBA rules is that such a business 

is small if it has 1,500 or fewer 

employees. For this industry, U.S. 

Census Bureau data for 2012 show that 

there were 967 firms that operated for 

the entire year. Of this total, 955 firms 

had employment of 999 or fewer 

employees and 12 had employment of 

1,000 employees or more. Thus under 

this category and the associated size 

standard, the Commission estimates that 

the majority of wireless 

telecommunications carriers (except 

satellite) are small entities. 

19. Television Broadcasting. This 

Economic Census category ‘‘comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in 

broadcasting images together with 

sound.’’ These establishments operate 

television broadcast studios and 

facilities for the programming and 

transmission of programs to the public. 

These establishments also produce or 

transmit visual programming to 

affiliated broadcast television stations, 

which in turn broadcast the programs to 

the public on a predetermined schedule. 

Programming may originate in their own 

studio, from an affiliated network, or 

from external sources. The SBA has 

created the following small business 

size standard for such businesses: Those 

having $41.5 million or less in annual 

receipts. The 2012 Economic Census 

reports that 751 firms in this category 

operated in that year. Of that number, 

656 had annual receipts of $25,000,000 

or less. Based on this data we therefore 

estimate that the majority of commercial 

television broadcasters are small entities 

under the applicable SBA size standard. 

20. The Commission has estimated 

the number of licensed commercial 

television stations to be 1,377. Of this 

total, 1,258 stations (or about 91 

percent) had revenues of $41.5 million 

or less, according to Commission staff 

review of the BIA Kelsey Inc. Media 

Access Pro Television Database (BIA) on 

November 16, 2017, and therefore these 

licensees qualify as small entities under 

the SBA definition. In addition, the 

Commission has estimated the number 

of licensed noncommercial educational 

television stations to be 384. 

Notwithstanding, the Commission does 

not compile and otherwise does not 

have access to information on the 

revenue of NCE stations that would 

permit it to determine how many such 

stations would qualify as small entities. 

There are also 2,300 low power 

television stations, including Class A 

stations (LPTV) and 3,681 TV translator 

stations. Given the nature of these 

services, we will presume that all of 

these entities qualify as small entities 

under the above SBA small business 

size standard. 

21. In assessing whether a business 

concern qualifies as ‘‘small’’ under the 

above definition, business (control) 

affiliations must be included. Our 

estimate, therefore, likely overstates the 

number of small entities that might be 

affected by our action, because the 

revenue figure on which it is based does 

not include or aggregate revenues from 

affiliated companies. In addition, 

another element of the definition of 

‘‘small business’’ requires that an entity 

not be dominant in its field of operation. 

We are unable at this time to define or 

quantify the criteria that would 

establish whether a specific television 

broadcast station is dominant in its field 

of operation. Accordingly, the estimate 

of small businesses to which rules may 

apply does not exclude any television 

station from the definition of a small 

business on this basis and is therefore 

possibly over-inclusive. Also, as noted 

above, an additional element of the 

definition of ‘‘small business’’ is that the 

entity must be independently owned 

and operated. The Commission notes 

that it is difficult at times to assess these 

criteria in the context of media entities 

and its estimates of small businesses to 

which they apply may be over-inclusive 

to this extent. 

22. Radio Stations. This Economic 

Census category ‘‘comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in 

broadcasting aural programs by radio to 

the public. Programming may originate 

in their own studio, from an affiliated 

network, or from external sources.’’ The 

SBA has established a small business 

size standard for this category as firms 

having $41.5 million or less in annual 

receipts. Economic Census data for 2012 

show that 2,849 radio station firms 

operated during that year. Of that 

number, 2,806 firms operated with 

annual receipts of less than $25 million 

per year, 17 with annual receipts 

between $25 million and $49,999,999 

million and 26 with annual receipts of 

$50 million or more. Therefore, based 

on the SBA’s size standard the majority 

of such entities are small entities. 

23. According to Commission staff 

review of the BIA/Kelsey, LLC’s Media 

Access Pro Radio Database as of January 

2018, about 11,261 (or about 99.9 

percent) of 11,383 commercial radio 

stations had revenues of $41.5 million 

or less and thus qualify as small entities 

under the SBA definition. The 

Commission has estimated the number 

of licensed commercial AM radio 

stations to be 4,633 stations and the 

number of commercial FM radio 

stations to be 6,738, for a total number 

of 11,371. We note the Commission has 

52784 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

also estimated the number of licensed 

noncommercial (NCE) FM radio stations 

to be 4,128. Nevertheless, the 

Commission does not compile and 

otherwise does not have access to 

information on the revenue of NCE 

stations that would permit it to 

determine how many such stations 

would qualify as small entities. We also 

note, that in assessing whether a 

business entity qualifies as small under 

the above definition, business control 

affiliations must be included. The 

Commission’s estimate therefore likely 

overstates the number of small entities 

that might be affected by its action, 

because the revenue figure on which it 

is based does not include or aggregate 

revenues from affiliated companies. In 

addition, to be determined a ‘‘small 

business,’’ an entity may not be 

dominant in its field of operation. We 

further note, that it is difficult at times 

to assess these criteria in the context of 

media entities, and the estimate of small 

businesses to which these rules may 

apply does not exclude any radio station 

from the definition of a small business 

on these basis, thus our estimate of 

small businesses may therefore be overinclusive. Also, as noted above, an 

additional element of the definition of 

‘‘small business’’ is that the entity must 

be independently owned and operated. 

The Commission notes that it is difficult 

at times to assess these criteria in the 

context of media entities and the 

estimates of small businesses to which 

they apply may be over-inclusive to this 

extent. 

24. Cable Companies and Systems 

(Rate Regulation). The Commission has 

also developed its own small business 

size standards, for the purpose of cable 

rate regulation. Under the Commission’s 

rules, a ‘‘small cable company’’ is one 

serving 400,000 or fewer subscribers 

nationwide. Industry data indicate that 

there are 4,600 active cable systems in 

the United States. Of this total, all but 

five cable operators nationwide are 

small under the 400,000-subscriber size 

standard. In addition, under the 

Commission’s rate regulation rules, a 

‘‘small system’’ is a cable system serving 

15,000 or fewer subscribers. 

Commission records show 4,600 cable 

systems nationwide. Of this total, 3,900 

cable systems have fewer than 15,000 

subscribers, and 700 systems have 

15,000 or more subscribers, based on the 

same records. Thus, under this standard 

as well, we estimate that most cable 

systems are small entities. 

25. Cable System Operators (Telecom 

Act Standard). The Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended, also contains 

a size standard for small cable system 

operators, which is ‘‘a cable operator 

that, directly or through an affiliate, 

serves in the aggregate fewer than one 

percent of all subscribers in the United 

States and is not affiliated with any 

entity or entities whose gross annual 

revenues in the aggregate exceed 

$250,000,000.’’ As of 2019, there were 

approximately 48,646,056 basic cable 

video subscribers in the United States. 

Accordingly, an operator serving fewer 

than 486,460 subscribers shall be 

deemed a small operator if its annual 

revenues, when combined with the total 

annual revenues of all its affiliates, do 

not exceed $250 million in the 

aggregate. Based on available data, we 

find that all but five cable operators are 

small entities under this size standard. 

We note that the Commission neither 

requests nor collects information on 

whether cable system operators are 

affiliated with entities whose gross 

annual revenues exceed $250 million. 

Therefore, we are unable at this time to 

estimate with greater precision the 

number of cable system operators that 

would qualify as small cable operators 

under the definition in the 

Communications Act. 

26. Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) 

Service. DBS service is a nationally 

distributed subscription service that 

delivers video and audio programming 

via satellite to a small parabolic ‘‘dish’’ 

antenna at the subscriber’s location. 

DBS is included in SBA’s economic 

census category ‘‘Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers.’’ The 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers 

industry comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in operating and/or 

providing access to transmission 

facilities and infrastructure that they 

own and/or lease for the transmission of 

voice, data, text, sound, and video using 

wired telecommunications networks. 

Transmission facilities may be based on 

a single technology or combination of 

technologies. Establishments in this 

industry use the wired 

telecommunications network facilities 

that they operate to provide a variety of 

services, such as wired telephony 

services, including VoIP services, wired 

(cable) audio and video programming 

distribution; and wired broadband 

internet services. By exception, 

establishments providing satellite 

television distribution services using 

facilities and infrastructure that they 

operate are included in this industry. 

The SBA determines that a wireline 

business is small if it has fewer than 

1,500 employees. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2012 indicates that 3,117 

wireline companies were operational 

during that year. Of that number, 3,083 

operated with fewer than 1,000 

employees. Based on that data, we 

conclude that the majority of wireline 

firms are small under the applicable 

SBA standard. Currently, however, only 

two entities provide DBS service, which 

requires a great deal of capital for 

operation: DIRECTV (owned by AT&T) 

and DISH Network. DIRECTV and DISH 

Network each report annual revenues 

that are in excess of the threshold for a 

small business. Accordingly, we must 

conclude that internally developed FCC 

data are persuasive that, in general, DBS 

service is provided only by large firms. 

27. All Other Telecommunications. 

The ‘‘All Other Telecommunications’’ 

category is comprised of establishments 

primarily engaged in providing 

specialized telecommunications 

services, such as satellite tracking, 

communications telemetry, and radar 

station operation. This industry also 

includes establishments primarily 

engaged in providing satellite terminal 

stations and associated facilities 

connected with one or more terrestrial 

systems and capable of transmitting 

telecommunications to, and receiving 

telecommunications from, satellite 

systems. Establishments providing 

internet services or voice over internet 

protocol (VoIP) services via clientsupplied telecommunications 

connections are also included in this 

industry. The SBA has developed a 

small business size standard for All 

Other Telecommunications, which 

consists of all such firms with annual 

receipts of $35 million or less. For this 

category, U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2012 shows that there were 1,442 firms 

that operated for the entire year. Of 

those firms, a total of 1,400 had annual 

receipts less than $25 million and 15 

firms had annual receipts of $25 million 

to $49,999,999. Thus, the Commission 

estimates that the majority of ‘‘All Other 

Telecommunications’’ firms potentially 

affected by our action can be considered 

small. 

28. RespOrgs. Responsible 

Organizations, or RespOrgs, are entities 

chosen by toll free subscribers to 

manage and administer the appropriate 

records in the toll free Service 

Management System for the toll free 

subscriber. Although RespOrgs are often 

wireline carriers, they can also include 

non-carrier entities. Therefore, in the 

definition herein of RespOrgs, two 

categories are presented, i.e., Carrier 

RespOrgs and Non-Carrier RespOrgs. 

29. Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the 

Commission, the U.S. Census, nor the 

SBA have developed a definition for 

Carrier RespOrgs. Accordingly, the 

Commission believes that the closest 

NAICS code-based definitional 

categories for Carrier RespOrgs are 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52785 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers, 

and Wireless Telecommunications 

Carriers (except satellite). 

30. The U.S. Census Bureau defines 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers as 

‘‘establishments primarily engaged in 

operating and/or providing access to 

transmission facilities and infrastructure 

that they own and/or lease for the 

transmission of voice, data, text, sound, 

and video using wired communications 

networks. Transmission facilities may 

be based on a single technology or a 

combination of technologies. 

Establishments in this industry use the 

wired telecommunications network 

facilities that they operate to provide a 

variety of services, such as wired 

telephony services, including VoIP 

services, wired (cable) audio and video 

programming distribution, and wired 

broadband internet services. By 

exception, establishments providing 

satellite television distribution services 

using facilities and infrastructure that 

they operate are included in this 

industry.’’ The SBA has developed a 

small business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers, which 

consists of all such companies having 

1,500 or fewer employees. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2012 show that there 

were 3,117 firms that operated that year. 

Of this total, 3,083 operated with fewer 

than 1,000 employees. Based on that 

data, we conclude that the majority of 

Carrier RespOrgs that operated with 

wireline-based technology are small. 

31. The U.S. Census Bureau defines 

Wireless Telecommunications Carriers 

(except satellite) as establishments 

engaged in operating and maintaining 

switching and transmission facilities to 

provide communications via the 

airwaves, such as cellular services, 

paging services, wireless internet access, 

and wireless video services. The 

appropriate size standard under SBA 

rules is that such a business is small if 

it has 1,500 or fewer employees. Census 

data for 2012 show that 967 Wireless 

Telecommunications Carriers operated 

in that year. Of that number, 955 

operated with less than 1,000 

employees. Based on that data, we 

conclude that the majority of Carrier 

RespOrgs that operated with wirelessbased technology are small. 

32. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the 

Commission, the U.S. Census, nor the 

SBA have developed a definition of 

Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Accordingly, the 

Commission believes that the closest 

NAICS code-based definitional 

categories for Non-Carrier RespOrgs are 

‘‘Other Services Related to Advertising’’ 

and ‘‘Other Management Consulting 

Services.’’ 

33. The U.S. Census defines Other 

Services Related to Advertising as 

comprising establishments primarily 

engaged in providing advertising 

services (except advertising agency 

services, public relations agency 

services, media buying agency services, 

media representative services, display 

advertising services, direct mail 

advertising services, advertising 

material distribution services, and 

marketing consulting services). The SBA 

has established a size standard for this 

industry as annual receipts of $16.5 

million dollars or less. Census data for 

2012 show that 5,804 firms operated in 

this industry for the entire year. Of that 

number, 5,612 operated with annual 

receipts of less than $10 million. Based 

on that data we conclude that the 

majority of Non-Carrier RespOrgs who 

provide toll-free number (TFN)-related 

advertising services are small. 

34. The U.S. Census defines Other 

Management Consulting Services as 

establishments primarily engaged in 

providing management consulting 

services (except administrative and 

general management consulting; human 

resources consulting; marketing 

consulting; or process, physical 

distribution, and logistics consulting). 

Establishments providing 

telecommunications or utilities 

management consulting services are 

included in this industry. The SBA has 

established a size standard for this 

industry of $16.5 million dollars or less. 

Census data for 2012 show that 3,683 

firms operated in this industry for that 

entire year. Of that number, 3,632 

operated with less than $10 million in 

annual receipts. Based on this data, we 

conclude that a majority of non-carrier 

RespOrgs who provide TFN-related 

management consulting services are 

small. 

35. In addition to the data contained 

in the four (see above) U.S. Census 

NAICS code categories that provide 

definitions of what services and 

functions the Carrier and Non-Carrier 

RespOrgs provide, Somos, the trade 

association that monitors RespOrg 

activities, compiled data showing that 

as of July 1, 2016 there were 23 

RespOrgs operational in Canada and 436 

RespOrgs operational in the United 

States, for a total of 459 RespOrgs 

currently registered with Somos. 

E. Description of Projected Reporting, 

Recordkeeping and Other Compliance 

Requirements 

36. This Report and Order does not 

adopt any new reporting, recordkeeping, 

or other compliance requirements. 

F. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant 

Economic Impact on Small Entities and 

Significant Alternatives Considered 

37. The RFA requires an agency to 

describe any significant alternatives that 

it has considered in reaching its 

approach, which may include the 

following four alternatives, among 

others: (1) The establishment of 

differing compliance or reporting 

requirements or timetables that take into 

account the resources available to small 

entities; (2) the clarification, 

consolidation, or simplification of 

compliance or reporting requirements 

under the rule for small entities; (3) the 

use of performance, rather than design, 

standards; and (4) an exemption from 

coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, 

for small entities. 

38. The methodology adopted by the 

Commission for using the populationbased calculations for TV broadcasters 

was initially adopted because it is a 

fairer methodology for the smaller 

broadcasters. The Commission is using 

this methodology for this year, too. The 

changes for Puerto Rican broadcasters 

were adopted by the Commission in 

order to give relief for these 

broadcasters, some of which may be 

small entities, and the Commission is 

also using this methodology this year. 

Finally, the waiver process that we 

adopted previously and are continuing 

in 2021 was adopted to provide relief to 

entities that have suffered financial 

hardship in the COVID–19 pandemic, 

which includes small entities. 

39. In addition, under the 

Commission’s de minimis rule, under 

section 9(e)(2) of the Act, a regulatee is 

exempt from paying regulatory fees if 

the sum total of all of its annual 

regulatory fee liabilities is $1,000 or less 

for the fiscal year. The de minimis 

threshold applies only to filers of 

annual regulatory fees. 

V. Ordering Clauses 

40. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
