I. Procedural Matters 

6. Ex Parte Information. The 

proceeding initiated by this NPRM, in 

which we seek comment on proposals 

as described above, shall be treated as 

a ‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ proceeding in 

accordance with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules. Persons making ex parte 

presentations must file a copy of any 

written presentation or a memorandum 

summarizing any oral presentation 

within two business days after the 

presentation (unless a different deadline 

applicable to the Sunshine period 

applies). Persons making oral ex parte 

presentations are reminded that 

memoranda summarizing the 

presentation must (1) list all persons 

attending or otherwise participating in 

the meeting at which the ex parte 

presentation was made, and (2) 

summarize all data presented and 

arguments made during the 

presentation. If the presentation 

consisted in whole or in part of the 

presentation of data or arguments 

already reflected in the presenter’s 

written comments, memoranda, or other 

filings in the proceeding, the presenter 

may provide citations to such data or 

arguments in his or her prior comments, 

memoranda, or other filings (specifying 

the relevant page and/or paragraph 

numbers where such data or arguments 

can be found) in lieu of summarizing 

them in the memorandum. Documents 

shown or given to Commission staff 

during ex parte meetings are deemed to 

be written ex parte presentations and 

must be filed consistent with § 1.1206(b) 

of the Commission’s rules. In 

proceedings governed by § 1.49(f) of the 

Commission’s rules or for which the 

Commission has made available a 

method of electronic filing, written ex 

parte presentations and memoranda 

summarizing oral ex parte 

presentations, and all attachments 

thereto, must be filed through the 

electronic comment filing system 

available for that proceeding, and must 

be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc, 

.xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants 

in this proceeding should familiarize 

themselves with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules. 

7. Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis. An initial regulatory flexibility 

analysis (IRFA) is contained in this 

summary. Comments to the IRFA must 

be identified as responses to the IRFA 

and filed by the deadlines for comments 

on the NPRM. The Commission will 

send a copy of the NPRM, including the 

IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy 

of the Small Business Administration. 

8. Initial 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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 38589 

I. Introduction 

9. For fiscal year (FY) 2022, the 

Commission is required to collect 

$381,950,000 in regulatory fees for FY 

2022, pursuant to sections 9 and 9A of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (Communications Act), and 

the Commission’s FY 2022 

Appropriations Act. In this NPRM, we 

seek comment on associated changes to 

the non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) 

space stations regulatory fee rates. We 

also seek comment on the Commission’s 

proposed regulatory fees for FY 2022 as 

set forth in Tables 2 and 3 in addition 

to other issues including: continuing to 

use our methodology for calculating 

television broadcaster regulatory fees 

based on population; calculating the 

costs of collection of regulatory fees in 

establishing the annual de minimis 

threshold; and how our proposals may 

promote or inhibit advances in 

diversity, equity, inclusion, and 

accessibility. 

II. Background 

10. Congress requires the Commission 

to assess and collect regulatory fees each 

year in an amount that can reasonably 

be expected to equal the amount of its 

annual salaries and expenses (S&E) 

appropriation. Regulatory fees cover 

direct costs, such as salaries and 

expenses; indirect costs, such as 

overhead functions; statutorily required 

tasks that do not directly equate with 

oversight and regulation of a particular 

regulatee but instead benefit the 

Commission and the industry as a 

whole; and support costs such as rent, 

utilities, and equipment. Regulatory fees 

also cover the costs incurred in 

oversight and regulation of entities that 

are statutorily exempt from paying 

regulatory fees (i.e., governmental and 

nonprofit entities, amateur radio 

operators, and noncommercial radio and 

television stations), entities that are 

exempt from payment of FY 2022 

regulatory fees because their total 

assessed annual regulatory fees fall 

below the annual de minimis threshold, 

and entities whose regulatory fees are 

waived. Pursuant to section 9(d) of the 

Communications Act, the Commission’s 

methodology for assessing regulatory 

fees must ‘‘reflect the full-time 

equivalent number of employees within 

the bureaus and offices of the 

Commission, adjusted to take into 

account factors that are reasonably 

related to the benefits provided to the 

payor of the fee by the Commission’s 

activities.’’ For FY 2022, the 

Commission must recover $381,950,000, 

as set forth in the FY 2022 Consolidated 

Appropriations Act. 

11. Each year, early in the fiscal year, 

the Commission receives full time 

equivalent (FTE) data from its Human 

Resources Office, and identifies FTE 

data at the core bureau level (i.e., direct 

FTEs), which is then used to determine 

the FTE allocations for the four core 

bureaus. This FTE data is then filtered 

down to the various fee categories 

within each core bureau based on the 

fee category percentages for each 

bureau. After the number of direct FTEs 

is determined within each core bureau 

of the Commission, a percentage of the 

total amount to be collected in 

regulatory fees for a given fiscal year is 

calculated for each core bureau based on 

the number of direct FTEs within a core 

bureau. The total of the percentages for 

each core bureau must equal 100% of 

the amount to be collected. The total 

percentage for a core bureau is then 

used to calculate the percentages for the 

various regulatory fee categories within 

each core bureau, as provided by the 

Commission’s bureaus. Thus, the 

regulatory fee categories within each 

core bureau make up a percentage of a 

core bureau’s total percentage to be 

collected in regulatory fees. 

12. These percentages, either at the 

regulatory fee category level within a 

core bureau or summed up to the core 

bureau level, represent the dollar 

amount of regulatory fees to be collected 

by multiplying each fee category 

percentage by the target goal to be 

collected. For example, the Wireline 

Competition Bureau, a core bureau, has 

direct FTEs that constitute 33.74% of all 

regulatory fees to be collected. The 

Wireline Competition Bureau also has 

two fee categories from which 33.74% 

of the fees are to be collected: (1) the 

Interstate Telecommunications Service 

Provider Fee (ITSP) fee category 

constitutes 32.62%, and (2) the Toll 

Free Number fee category constitutes 

1.12% for a total sum of 33.74%. The 

percentage for each fee category 

represents the amount to collect in 

regulatory fees for that fee category—for 

example, for the ITSP fee category, 

32.62% amounts to $124.59 million 

from an FY 2022 target goal of 

$381,950,000. This dollar amount 

($124.59 million) divided by the 

estimated units for the ITSP fee category 

determines the fee rate, which is then 

rounded to the nearest $5, where 

applicable. Indirect FTEs are then 

allocated proportionally based on the 

allocation percentage of direct FTEs of 

each core bureaus. 

13. The indirect FTEs are the FTEs in 

the Enforcement Bureau, Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau, Public 

Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, 

Chairwoman’s and Commissioners’ 

offices, Office of the Managing Director, 

Office of General Counsel, Office of the 

Inspector General, Office of 

Communications Business 

Opportunities, Office of Engineering 

and Technology, Office of Legislative 

Affairs, Office of Workplace Diversity, 

Office of Media Relations, Office of 

Economics and Analytics, and Office of 

Administrative Law Judges, along with 

some FTEs in the Wireline Competition 

Bureau and the International Bureau 

that the Commission has previously 

classified as indirect for regulatory fee 

purposes. Unlike the work of direct 

FTEs, the work of FTEs designated as 

indirect benefits the Commission and 

the industry as a whole and is not 

specifically focused on the regulatees 

and licensees of a core bureau. The high 

percentage of indirect FTEs is indicative 

of the fact that many Commission 

activities and costs are not limited to a 

particular fee category and instead 

benefit the Commission and its work as 

a whole. 

14. In section 9 of the 

Communications Act, Congress 

prescribed a method of collecting an 

amount equal to the full S&E 

appropriation by keying the regulatory 

fee assessment to FTE burden. As a 

result, the fee assigned to each 

regulatory fee category relates to the 

FTE burden associated with their 

oversight and regulation by the relevant 

core bureaus. Because the total amount 

the Commission must collect in an 

offsetting collection generally changes 

each fiscal year, payors’ regulatory fees 

will also typically change each fiscal 

year as a mathematical consequence of 

the changes in the total amount to be 

collected, the number of Commission 

FTEs, and projected unit estimates for 

each fee category. Beyond those 

changed collection requirements, 

consideration of changes, additions, or 

deletions to the regulatory fee schedule 

is focused on the Commission’s direct 

FTE cost burden related to the 

regulatory fee category at issue within 

each core bureau. 

15. Adjustments and Amendments to 

Regulatory Fee Schedule. Each year, the 

Commission is required to adjust the 

schedule of regulatory fees to ‘‘(A) 

reflect unexpected increases or 

decreases in the number of units subject 

to the payment of such fees; and (B) 

result in the collection of the amount 

required’’ by the Commission’s annual 

appropriation. Each year the 

Commission issues a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking to seek comment on its 

methodology for assessing regulatory 

fees and the proposed regulatory fees for 

the fiscal year.

III. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

16. In this annual regulatory fee 

NPRM, we seek comment on our 

methodology for assessing regulatory 

fees and on the schedule of FY 2022 

regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 

and 3. We also seek comment on 

associated changes to the NGSO space 

station regulatory fee rates in addition to 

several other issues such as continuing 

to use our methodology for calculating 

television broadcaster regulatory fees 

based on population; calculating the 

costs of collection of regulatory fees in 

establishing the annual de minimis 

threshold; and how our proposals may 

promote or inhibit advances in 

diversity, equity, inclusion, and 

accessibility. 

A. Assessment of Regulatory Fees 

17. Methodology for Assessing 

Regulatory Fees. Congress has required 

us to collect $381,950,000 in regulatory 

fees for FY 2022. In doing so, section 9 

of the Communications Act requires us 

to set regulatory fees to ‘‘reflect the fulltime equivalent number of employees 

within the bureaus and offices of the 

Commission adjusted to take into 

account factors that are reasonably 

related to the benefits provided to the 

payor of the fee by the Commission’s 

activities.’’ We implement this directive 

by first looking to the core bureaus 

within the Commission in order to 

identify the number of direct nonauction FTEs from each core bureau and 

then categorize the remaining nonauction FTEs and other Commission 

costs as indirect. Once the direct FTEs 

are identified, we then allocate fees to 

specific fee categories within each core 

bureau. These proportional calculations 

allocate all Commission non-auction 

related costs across all fee categories. 

We find that our methodology is 

consistent with section 9 of the 

Communications Act which requires us 

to base our methodology on the number 

of FTEs in calculating regulatory fees. 

We seek comment on this methodology 

and on the schedule of FY 2022 

regulatory fees as set forth in Tables 2 

and 3. Any proposals or comments 

requesting a change or modification to 

our proposed FY 2022 regulatory fees 

should include a thorough analysis 

showing a sufficient basis for making 

the change and provide alternative 

options for the Commission to meet its 

statutory obligation to collect the full 

amount of the appropriation by the end 

of the fiscal year. Commenters should 

also indicate how such alternative 

options are fair, administrable, and 

sustainable. 

18. Allocating FTEs. Consistent with 

past practices, we propose to base the 

allocation of fee categories for FY 2022 

on the Commission’s calculation of 

FTEs in each regulatory fee category. 

Each year, early in the fiscal year, the 

Commission receives FTE data from the 

Commission’s Human Resources Office, 

and identifies FTE data at the core 

bureau level (direct FTEs). This FTE 

data is then filtered down to the various 

fee categories within each core bureau. 

The total FTEs for each fee category 

include the direct FTEs associated with 

that category plus a proportional 

allocation of indirect FTEs. Applying 

the requirements of section 9 of the 

Communications Act to calculate 

regulatory fees, we propose to allocate 

the total collection target across all 

regulatory fee categories. Each regulatee 

within a fee category then pays its 

proportionate share based on an 

objective measure. To calculate fees for 

each licensee, we identify ‘‘units’’ used 

to calculate the fees. For example, 

broadcast licensees’ fees will vary by 

population served and commercial 

mobile radio service (CMRS) wireless 

licensees will pay fees based on their 

number of subscribers. These 

calculations are illustrated in Table 2. 

The sources for the unit estimates that 

are used in these calculations are listed 

in Table 4. 

19. In sum, there are 329 direct FTEs 

for FY 2022, distributed among the core 

bureaus as follows International Bureau 

(28), Wireless Telecommunications 

Bureau (70), Wireline Competition 

Bureau (111), and the Media Bureau 

(120). This results in 8.51% of the FTE 

allocation for International Bureau 

regulatees; 21.28% of the FTE allocation 

for Wireless Telecommunications 

Bureau regulatees; 33.74% of the FTE 

allocation for Wireline Competition 

Bureau regulatees; and 36.47% of FTE 

allocation for Media Bureau regulatees. 

There are in turn 943 indirect FTEs 

spread across the Commission: 

Enforcement Bureau (187), Consumer 

and Governmental Affairs Bureau (111), 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau (98), part of the International 

Bureau (52), part of the Wireline 

Competition Bureau (38), Chairman and 

Commissioners’ offices (22), Office of 

the Managing Director (136), Office of 

General Counsel (70), Office of the 

Inspector General (47), Office of 

Communications Business 

Opportunities (10), Office of 

Engineering and Technology (66), Office 

of Legislative Affairs (8), Office of 

Workforce Diversity (4), Office of Media 

Relations (12), Office of Economics and 

Analytics (78), and Office of 

Administrative Law Judges (4). 

Allocating these indirect FTEs based on 

the direct FTE allocations yields an 

additional 80.26 FTEs attributable to 

International Bureau regulatees, 200.64 

FTEs attributable to Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau regulatees, 

318.16 FTEs attributable to Wireline 

Competition Bureau regulatees, and 

343.95 FTEs attributable to Media 

Bureau regulatees. 

20. Based on these allocations and the 

requirement to collect $381,950,000 in 

regulatory fees this year, we project 

collecting approximately $32.51 million 

(8.51%) in fees from International 

Bureau regulatees; $81.27 million 

(21.28%) in fees from Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau regulatees; 

$128.86 million (33.74%) from Wireline 

Competition Bureau regulatees; and 

$139.31 million (36.47%) from Media 

Bureau regulatees. We set specific 

regulatory fees in Table 3 so that 

regulatees within a fee category pay 

their proportionate share based on an 

objective measure (e.g., revenues or 

number of subscribers). The proposed 

fees are based on the established 

methodology, applied to the allocated 

direct FTEs and based on the 

Commission’s appropriation amount of 

$381,950,000. We seek comment on our 

methodology. Commenters proposing 

adjustments to our methodology should 

explain the basis for their proposals. 

1. Regulatory Fee Rates for Space 

Stations 

21. We seek comment on the 

proposed regulatory fees for space 

stations as provided in Table 2. In 2021, 

the Commission adopted new NGSO 

space stations regulatory fee 

subcategories: ‘‘less complex’’ and 

‘‘other,’’ both under the broader 

category of ‘‘Space Stations (NonGeostationary Orbit).’’ In the FY 2021 

Report and Order, 86 FR 52742 (Sept. 

22, 2021), the Commission subsequently 

adopted the proposal from the FY 2021 

NPRM, 86 FR 52429 (Sept. 21, 2021), to 

allocate 20% of NGSO space station 

regulatory fees to ‘‘less complex’’ NGSO 

space stations and 80% of NGSO 

regulatory fees to ‘‘other’’ NGSO space 

stations. As discussed above, in this 

proceeding, we determine a fee 

methodology for small satellites, and 

integrate the small satellite fee category 

into the NGSO space stations fee 

category. Accordingly, in Table 2, we 

have included the proposed fees for 

NGSO space stations calculated by 

assessing the fees that small satellites 

will pay in FY 2022, reducing that 

amount from the overall NGSO space 

stations fee category, and allocating the 

remaining NGSO space station fees 20/

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 38591 

80 using the two new fee subcategories: 

‘‘less complex’’ NGSO space stations 

and all other NGSO space stations 

identified as ‘‘other’’ NGSO space 

stations.’’ 

22. Below is a table illustrating the 

proposed NGSO fee rates for FY 2022. 

These proposed regulatory fees are also 

listed in Tables 2 and 3. We seek 

comment on these proposed regulatory 

fees. Commenters proposing alternative 

should explain the basis for their 

proposals. 

Proposed 

NGSO—small 

satellite fee 

(per license) 

Proposed NGSO—other space station fee 

(per system) 

Proposed NGSO—less complex space station fee 

(per system) 

$12,145 ............ $338,020 $140,840 

23. Spacecraft Performing On-Orbit 

Servicing and Rendezvous and 

Proximity Operations. Two commenters 

propose the creation of additional fee 

categories, citing similarities between 

the characteristics of small satellites and 

those other satellite services 

commenters contend should have a 

separate fee. Spaceflight proposes that 

the Commission create a separate fee 

category for spacecraft performing onorbit services (OOS), which would 

include deployment, rendezvous and 

proximity services. Spaceflight posits 

that OOS spacecraft share 

characteristics of small satellites and 

‘‘less complex’’ NGSO systems thereby 

justifying the creation of a new and 

lower fee category. Spaceflight also 

distinguishes between OOS spacecraft 

and traditional NGSO satellites in that 

OOS spacecraft have limited duration 

and scope of use as well as a limited 

number of earth stations; require a 

smaller investment in OOS technology; 

require less ongoing regulation owing to 

the shorter duration of OOS spacecraft; 

will likely be licensed on a shared use 

basis. Spaceflight also notes that OOS 

spacecraft are licensed on a noninterference basis without the need for 

processing round procedures or postprocessing round disputes over matters 

such as interference protection and 

spectrum priority. In addition, 

Astroscale proposes that the 

Commission create a new fee category 

for rendezvous and proximity 

operations (RPO). Astroscale submits 

that a Commission proceeding to create 

service rules and a corresponding fee 

category for RPO services would 

provide much needed permanency and 

clarity to support this nascent 

infrastructure. In allocating this fee, 

Astroscale argues that the Commission 

should consider the similarities that 

RPO services share with small satellites, 

such as one-way data communication, 

and with ‘‘less complex’’ NGSO 

systems, such as the less-intensive use 

of ground stations. 

24. At this time, we tentatively 

conclude that it would be premature to 

adopt new fee categories for OOS and 

RPO operations. To date, there have 

been a limited number of such 

operations and these have been treated 

on a case-by-case basis. Except for GSO 

servicing missions, we expect that most 

OOS and RPO operations will be NGSO, 

but we tentatively conclude that it is too 

early to identify exactly where 

operations such as those in low-Earth 

orbit (LEO) might fit into the regulatory 

fee structure in the future. Thus, at this 

time, we do not have a record sufficient 

to propose to establish a fee 

category(ies) and appropriate 

methodology for assessing such a fee 

category(ies). We propose that, until we 

gain more experience in regulating such 

systems, we continue to regulate these 

systems as we have and consider OOS 

and RPO spacecraft licensing on a 

mission-by-mission basis. We seek 

comment on these tentative 

conclusions. Commenters that 

nonetheless favor a new fee category or 

categories should fully explain the basis 

for their positions, including how the 

Commission might identify exactly 

where these operations might fit into the 

regulatory fee structure. 

25. However, although we do not 

adopt a new regulatory and 

corresponding fee category for OOS and 

RPO spacecraft at this time, we further 

seek comment on whether and how to 

assess fees for these types of spacecraft, 

and other types of satellites servicing 

other satellites, which operate near to 

the GSO arc. Specifically, we seek 

comment on whether a satellite 

servicing other satellites that operates 

above the GSO arc should be treated as 

a GSO space station for regulatory fee 

purposes. We also seek comment on 

what factors should be considered in 

determining whether the servicing 

spacecraft should be assessed regulatory 

fees separately. For example, what 

percentage of time are the satellites colocated with a GSO satellite? 

B. Full-Service Television Broadcaster 

Fees 

26. In the FY 2020 Report and Order, 

85 FR 59864 (Sept. 23, 2020), we 

completed the transition to a 

population-based full-service broadcast 

television regulatory fee. We do not 

reopen that decision relating to these 

regulatory fees being based on 

population at this time. For FY 2022, we 

propose to continue to assess fees for 

full-power broadcast television stations 

based on the population covered by a 

full-service broadcast television 

station’s contour and seek comment on 

our mechanism, described below, for 

how we will calculate the regulatory fee 

based on the previously decided 

population-based methodology. As 

described in Table 7, we propose 

adopting a factor of .88 of one cent 

($.008803) per person served for FY 

2022 full-service broadcast television 

station fees. The population data for 

broadcasters’ service areas are extracted 

from the TVStudy database, based on a 

station’s projected noise-limited service 

contour. The population data for each 

licensee and the population-based fee 

(population multiplied by $.008803 for 

each full-service broadcast television 

station), including each satellite station 

is listed in Table 7. We seek comment 

on these proposed fees. Any 

commenters suggesting different ways to 

measure population-based fees for fullservice television broadcasters should 

indicate the proposed fees and the 

underlying calculation and basis for the 

fees. 

C. De Minimis Threshold 

27. We seek comment on how to 

calculate the costs of collection of 

regulatory fees in establishing the 

annual de minimis threshold of $1,000. 

Section 9(e)(2) of the Communications 

Act permits the Commission to exempt 

a party from paying regulatory fees if 

‘‘in the judgment of the Commission, 

the cost of collecting a regulatory fee 

established under this section from a 

party would exceed the amount 

collected from such party. . . .’’ NAB 

proposes that we increase the de 

minimis threshold, above $1,000, in 

order to assist small broadcasters. We 

remind commenters that the text of 

section 9(e)(2) of the Communications 

Act does not include language 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
38592 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

suggesting that such considerations be 

used in determining the cost of 

collecting a regulatory fee for purposes 

of setting the de minimis threshold. 

28. In the FY 2019 Report and Order, 

84 FR 50890 (Sept. 26, 2019), the 

Commission concluded that section 

9(e)(2) of the Communications Act 

codifies our authority to adopt a de 

minimis exemption. At that time, the 

Commission analyzed the average cost 

of collecting delinquent debt and 

estimated that the Commission’s cost of 

collecting the debt would exceed 

$1,000. The Commission determined 

that its administrative debt collection 

process involves many steps, including 

data compilation, preparation and 

validation; invoicing; debt transfer for 

third party collection; responding to 

debtor questions and disputes; and 

processing payments. Accordingly, the 

Commission retained the de minimis 

threshold for annual regulatory fee 

payors at $1,000. 

29. We seek comment on NAB’s 

proposal to increase the de minimis 

threshold. Commenters should discuss 

how we should calculate the costs of 

collection of regulatory fees and 

whether the cost of collecting a 

regulatory fee begins after the regulatory 

fees are due and once delinquencies 

occur. Alternatively, should the cost of 

collection begin when the Commission 

collects data on a payor’s regulatory fee 

status, generally prior to the regulatory 

fee due date? Commenters advocating a 

higher annual de minimis threshold 

should discuss which steps in the debt 

collection process should be included in 

‘‘the cost of collecting a regulatory fee.’’ 

For example, should the Commission 

also consider the costs associated with 

reviewing and resolving waiver requests 

and installment payment requests? 

Commenters suggesting an increase 

should indicate what the threshold 

should be increased to and the factual 

and statutory basis for such an increase. 

Commenters should also explain if the 

proposed definition of costs of 

collection is consistent with other uses 

of the term in the U.S. Code with 

respect to collection of federal fees. 

D. Indirect Full Time Equivalents 

30. As discussed above, the 

Commission has previously reclassified 

certain direct FTEs as indirect for 

regulatory purposes due to the nature of 

their work assignments. We seek 

comment on whether such 

reclassifications, on balance, produce a 

more accurate regulatory fee assessment. 

If reclassification is appropriate in 

certain circumstances, should we 

consider different calculation methods 

when reclassified FTEs work on issues 

that clearly do not benefit certain 

classes of licensees? If so, how should 

we adjust our calculation method? In 

addition, how frequently should the 

Commission revisit such 

reclassifications to ensure that the FTEs 

accurately reflect the work of the 

relevant Bureau? Are the current 

reclassifications still appropriate? To 

what extent does reclassification 

undermine the Commission’s rationale 

for retaining its current direct/indirect 

methodology? 

E. New Regulatory Fee Categories 

31. In the FY 2021 NPRM, we sought 

comment on ‘‘whether we should adopt 

new regulatory fee categories and on 

ways to improve our regulatory fee 

process regarding any and all categories 

of service.’’ We invite additional 

comment in order to help inform our 

consideration of these issues. 

F. Digital Equity and Inclusion 

32. Finally, the Commission, as part 

of its continuing effort to advance 

digital equity for all, including people of 

color, persons with disabilities, persons 

who live in rural or tribal areas, and 

others who are or have been historically 

underserved, marginalized, or adversely 

affected by persistent poverty or 

inequality, invites comment on any 

equity-related considerations and 

benefits (if any) that may be associated 

with the proposals and issues discussed 

herein. Specifically, we seek comment 

on how our proposals may promote or 

inhibit advances in diversity, equity, 

inclusion, and accessibility, as well the 

scope of the Commission’s relevant legal 

authority. We note that diversity and 

equity considerations, however, do not 

allow the Commission to shift fees from 

one party of fee payors to another nor 

to raise fees for any purpose other than 

as an offsetting collection in the amount 

of our annual S&E appropriation. 

IV. Procedural Matters 

33. Included below are procedural 

items as well as our current payment 

and collection methods. We include 

these payments and collection 

procedures here as a useful way of 

reminding regulatory fee payers and the 

public about these aspects of the annual 

regulatory fee collection process. 

34. 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, 

Automates Clearing House (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 2022 regulatory fee collection in Fact 

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

35. Payment Methods. 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 https://

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, an FCC 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 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 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://transition.fcc.gov/fees/ 

wiretran.html. 

36. 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, 2021 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, 2021. 

• Wireline (Common Carrier) 

Services: Regulatory fees must be paid 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 38593 

for authorizations that were granted on 

or before October 1, 2021. In instances 

where a permit or license is transferred 

or assigned after October 1, 2021, 

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 § 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, 

2021. 

• Wireless Services: Commercial 

Mobile Radio Service (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, 

2021. The number of subscribers, units, 

or telephone numbers on December 31, 

2021 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, 

2021, 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 seven 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 five-year or 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 2022. 

• Multichannel Video Programming 

Distributor (MVPD) Services (cable 

television operators, Cable Television 

Relay Service (CARS) licensees, direct 

broadcast satellite (DBS), and internet 

Protocol TV (IPTV)): Regulatory fees 

must be paid for the number of basic 

cable television subscribers as of 

December 31, 2021. Regulatory fees also 

must be paid for CARS licenses that 

were granted on or before October 1, 

2021. In instances where a permit or 

license is transferred or assigned after 

October 1, 2021, responsibility for 

payment rests with the holder of the 

permit or license as of the fee due date. 

For providers of DBS service and IPTVbased MVPDs, regulatory fees should be 

paid based on a subscriber count on or 

about December 31, 2021. In instances 

where a permit or license is transferred 

or assigned after October 1, 2021, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. 

• International Services: Regulatory 

fees must be paid for earth stations that 

were licensed (or authorized) on or 

before October 1, 2021. Regulatory fees 

must also be paid for Geostationary orbit 

space stations (GSO) and nongeostationary orbit satellite systems 

(NGSO), and the two NGSO 

subcategories ‘‘Other’’ and ‘‘Less 

Complex,’’ that were licensed and 

operational on or before October 1, 

2021. Licensees of small satellites that 

were licensed and operational on or 

before October 1, 2021 must also pay 

regulatory fees. In instances where a 

permit or license is transferred or 

assigned after October 1, 2021, 

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, 

2021. Regulatory fees for terrestrial and 

satellite IBCs are to be paid based on 

active (used or leased) international 

bearer circuits as of December 31, 2021, 

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, 2021. 

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, 2021, 

responsibility for payment rests with the 

holder of the permit or license as of the 

fee due date. 

37. CMRS and Mobile Services 

Assessments. The Commission will 

compile 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 

Table 2 and the CMRS regulatory fee 

factor proposed in Table 3. CMRS 

provider regulatory fees will be 

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) 

along with the carrier’s Operating 

Company Numbers (OCNs). 

38. 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 

Filer. A final CMRS assessment letter 

will not be mailed out. 

39. 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, 2021), 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.

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

In order to calculate individual 

service fees for FY 2022, we adjusted FY 

2021 payment units for each service to 

more accurately reflect expected FY 

2022 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, where 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 2022 

estimates with actual FY 2021 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 2022 

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 2022 payment 

units are based on FY 2021 actual 

payment units, it does not necessarily 

mean that our FY 2022 projection is 

exactly the same number as in FY 2021. 

We have either rounded the FY 2022 

number or adjusted it slightly to account 

for these variables.

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 root-mean-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 §§ 73.150 and 73.152 of the Commission’s rules. Radiation values were calculated 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 radial-specific 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.

VI. Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis 

1. As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended 

(RFA) the Commission prepared this 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

(IRFA) of the possible significant 

economic impact on small entities by 

the policies and rules proposed in the 

NPRM. Written comments are requested 

on this IRFA. Comments must be 

identified as responses to the IRFA and 

must be filed by the deadline for 

comments on the NPRM. The 

Commission will send a copy of the 

NPRM, including the IRFA, to the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration (SBA). In 

addition, the NPRM and IRFA (or 

summaries thereof) will be published in 

the Federal Register. 

A. Need for, and Objectives of, the 

Proposed Rules 

2. The Commission is required by 

Congress to assess regulatory fees each 

year in an amount that can reasonably 

be expected to equal the amount of its 

annual appropriation. For fiscal year 

(FY) 2022, the Commission must 

recover $381,950,000, as set forth in the 

FY 2022 Appropriations Act. The 

objective of the NPRM is to propose the 

regulatory fees to be paid by the 

regulatory fee payors in the 

Commission’s core bureaus (Media 

Bureau, Wireless Telecommunications 

Bureau, Wireline Competition Bureau, 

and International Bureau) by the end of 

the fiscal year for FY 2022 equal to the 

full amount of the annual appropriation, 

and to seek comment on the proposed 

fees. Accordingly, in the NPRM, we seek 

comment on the Commission’s historic 

methodology for calculating regulatory 

fees as required by section 9 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (Communications Act), and on 

the schedule of FY 2022 regulatory fees 

as set forth in Tables 2 and 3 of the 

NPRM. We also seek comment on 

several other issues related to the 

collection of regulatory fees: (i) 

continuing to use our methodology for 

calculating television broadcaster 

regulatory fees based on population by 

station contour; (ii) the proposed 

regulatory fee rates for the categories of 

small satellite, ‘‘NGSO—less complex,’’ 

and ‘‘NGSO—Other’’ space stations; (iii) 

calculating the costs of collection of 

regulatory fees in establishing the 

annual de minimis threshold; and (iv) 

how our proposals may promote or 

inhibit advances in diversity, equity, 

inclusion, and accessibility. 

B. Legal Basis 

3. This action, including publication 

of proposed rules, is authorized under 

sections (4)(i) and (j), 159, 159A, and 

303(r) of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

C. Description and Estimate of the 

Number of Small Entities to Which the 

Proposed Rules Will Apply 

4. 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. 

5. 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. 

6. 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. 

7. 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
38628 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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.’’ 

8. 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 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. 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers are 

also referred to as wireline carriers or 

fixed local service providers. 

9. The SBA small business size 

standard for Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or 

fewer employees as small. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2017 shows that there 

were 3,054 firms that operated in this 

industry for the entire year. Of this 

number, 2,964 firms operated with 

fewer than 250 employees. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 5,183 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of fixed local services. Of 

these providers, the Commission 

estimates that 4,737 providers have 

1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, using the SBA’s small 

business size standard, most of these 

providers can be considered small 

entities. 

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. Providers of 

these services include both incumbent 

and competitive local exchange service 

providers. Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers is the closest industry with a 

SBA small business size standard. 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers are 

also referred to as wireline carriers or 

fixed local service providers. The SBA 

small business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers classifies 

firms having 1,500 or fewer employees 

as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms 

that operated in this industry for the 

entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms 

operated with fewer than 250 

employees. Additionally, based on 

Commission data in the 2021 Universal 

Service Monitoring Report, as of 

December 31, 2020, there were 5,183 

providers that reported they were fixed 

local exchange service providers. Of 

these providers, the Commission 

estimates that 4,737 providers have 

1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, using the SBA’s small 

business size standard, most of these 

providers can be considered small 

entities. 

11. Incumbent Local Exchange 

Carriers (Incumbent LECs). Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA have 

developed a small business size 

standard specifically for incumbent 

local exchange carriers. Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers is the 

closest industry with an SBA small 

business size standard. The SBA small 

business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers classifies 

firms having 1,500 or fewer employees 

as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms 

in this industry that operated for the 

entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms 

operated with fewer than 250 

employees. Additionally, based on 

Commission data in the 2021 Universal 

Service Monitoring Report, as of 

December 31, 2020, there were 1,227 

providers that reported they were 

incumbent local exchange service 

providers. Of these providers, the 

Commission estimates that 929 

providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, the 

Commission estimates that the majority 

of incumbent local exchange carriers 

can be considered small entities. 

12. Competitive Local Exchange 

Carriers (LECs). Neither the Commission 

nor the SBA has developed a size 

standard for small businesses 

specifically applicable to local exchange 

services. Providers of these services 

include several types of competitive 

local exchange service providers. Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers is the 

closest industry with an SBA small 

business size standard. The SBA small 

business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers classifies 

firms having 1,500 or fewer employees 

as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms 

that operated in this industry for the 

entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms 

operated with fewer than 250 

employees. Additionally, based on 

Commission data in the 2021 Universal 

Service Monitoring Report, as of 

December 31, 2020, there were 3,956 

providers that reported they were 

competitive local exchange service 

providers. Of these providers, the 

Commission estimates that 3,808 

providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, 

most of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

13. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs). 

Neither the Commission nor the SBA 

have developed a small business size 

standard specifically for Interexchange 

Carriers. Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers is the closest industry with an 

SBA small business size standard. The 

SBA small business size standard for 

Wired Telecommunications Carriers 

classifies firms having 1,500 or fewer 

employees as small. U.S. Census Bureau 

data for 2017 shows that there were 

3,054 firms that operated in this 

industry for the entire year. Of this 

number, 2,964 firms operated with 

fewer than 250 employees. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 151 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of interexchange services. Of 

these providers, the Commission 

estimates that 131 providers have 1,500 

or fewer employees. Consequently, 

using the SBA’s small business size 

standard, the Commission estimates that 

the majority of providers in this 

industry can be considered 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. Telecommunications 

Resellers is the closest industry with an 

SBA small business size standard. 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. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 38629 

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 small business size 

standard for Telecommunications 

Resellers classifies a business as small if 

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

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

1,386 firms in this industry provided 

resale services for the entire year. Of 

that number, 1,375 firms operated with 

fewer than 250 employees. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 58 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of payphone services. Of these 

providers, the Commission estimates 

that 57 providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, 

most of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

15. Local Resellers. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA have 

developed a small business size 

standard specifically for Local Resellers. 

Telecommunications Resellers is the 

closest industry with an SBA small 

business size standard. 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. The SBA small business size 

standard for Telecommunications 

Resellers classifies a business as small if 

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

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

1,386 firms in this industry provided 

resale services for the entire year. Of 

that number, 1,375 firms operated with 

fewer than 250 employees. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 293 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of local resale services. Of 

these providers, the Commission 

estimates that 289 providers have 1,500 

or fewer employees. Consequently, 

using the SBA’s small business size 

standard, most of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

16. Toll Resellers. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA have 

developed a small business size 

standard specifically for Toll Resellers. 

Telecommunications Resellers is the 

closest industry with an SBA small 

business size standard. 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. The SBA small business size 

standard for Telecommunications 

Resellers classifies a business as small if 

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

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

1,386 firms in this industry provided 

resale services for the entire year. Of 

that number, 1,375 firms operated with 

fewer than 250 employees. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 518 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of toll services. Of these 

providers, the Commission estimates 

that 495 providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, 

most of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

17. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA has developed 

a definition 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. Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers is the 

closest industry with an SBA small 

business size standard. The SBA small 

business size standard for Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers classifies 

firms having 1,500 or fewer employees 

as small. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2017 shows that there were 3,054 firms 

in this industry that operated for the 

entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms 

operated with fewer than 250 

employees. Additionally, based on 

Commission data in the 2021 Universal 

Service Monitoring Report, as of 

December 31, 2020, there were 115 

providers that reported they were 

engaged in the provision of other toll 

services. Of these providers, the 

Commission estimates that 113 

providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, 

most of these providers can be 

considered 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 SBA size standard for this 

industry classifies a business as small if 

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

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

there were 2,893 firms in this industry 

that operated for the entire year. Of that 

number, 2,837 firms employed fewer 

than 250 employees. Additionally, 

based on Commission data in the 2021 

Universal Service Monitoring Report, as 

of December 31, 2020, there were 797 

providers that reported they were 

engaged in the provision of wireless 

services. Of these providers, the 

Commission estimates that 715 

providers have 1,500 or fewer 

employees. Consequently, using the 

SBA’s small business size standard, 

most of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

19. Television Broadcasting. This 

industry is comprised of 

‘‘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 small 

business size standard for this industry 

classifies businesses having $41.5 

million or less in annual receipts as 

small. The 2017 U.S. Census Bureau 

data indicates that 744 firms in this 

industry operated for the entire year. Of 

that number, 657 firms had revenue of 

less than $25,000,000. Based on this 

data we estimate that the majority of 

television broadcasters are small entities 

under the SBA small business size 

standard. 

20. The Commission estimates that as 

of September 2021, there were 1,374 

licensed commercial television stations, 

384 licensed noncommercial 

educational (NCE) television stations, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
38630 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

2,276 low power television stations, 

including Class A stations (LPTV) and 

3,106 TV translator stations. The 

Commission however does not compile, 

and otherwise does not have access to 

financial information for these 

television broadcast stations that would 

permit it to determine how many of 

these stations qualify as small entities 

under the SBA small business size 

standard. Nevertheless, given the SBA’s 

large annual receipts threshold for this 

industry and the nature of television 

station licensees, we presume that all of 

these entities qualify as small entities 

under the above SBA small business 

size standard. 

21. Radio Stations. This industry is 

comprised of ‘‘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 small business size 

standard for this industry classifies 

firms having $41.5 million or less in 

annual receipts as small. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2017 shows that 2,963 

firms operated in this industry during 

that year. Of this number, 1,879 firms 

operated with revenue of less than $25 

million per year. Based on this data and 

the SBA’s small business size standard, 

we estimate a majority of such entities 

are small entities. 

22. The Commission estimates that as 

of September 2021, there were 4,519 

licensed commercial AM radio stations, 

6,682 licensed commercial FM radio 

stations and 4,211 licensed 

noncommercial (NCE) FM radio 

stations. The Commission however does 

not compile, and otherwise does not 

have access to financial information for 

these radio stations that would permit it 

to determine how many of these stations 

qualify as small entities under the SBA 

small business size standard. 

Nevertheless, given the SBA’s large 

annual receipts threshold for this 

industry and the nature of radio station 

licensees, we presume that all of these 

entities qualify as small entities under 

the above SBA small business size 

standard. 

23. Cable Companies and Systems 

(Rate Regulation). The Commission has 

developed its own small business size 

standard 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. Based on available data, as 

of December 2020, there were 

approximately 45,308,192 basic cable 

video subscribers in the top Cable 

multiple system operators (MSOs) in the 

United States. Only five cable operators 

serving cable video subscribers in the 

top Cable MSOs had more than 400,000 

subscribers. Accordingly, the 

Commission estimates that the majority 

of cable operators are small. 

24. Cable System Operators (Telecom 

Act Standard). The Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended, contains a size 

standard for small cable system 

operators, which classifies ‘‘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 small. As of 

December 2020, there were 

approximately 45,308,192 basic cable 

video subscribers in the top Cable MSOs 

in the United States. Accordingly, an 

operator serving fewer than 453,082 

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, all but five of 

the cable operators in the Top Cable 

MSOs have less than 453,082 

subscribers and can be considered small 

entities under this size standard. We 

note however, 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. 

25. 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 the Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers industry 

which 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 voice over internet 

protocol (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. 

26. The SBA small business size 

standard for Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers classifies firms having 1,500 or 

fewer employees as small. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2017 shows that 3,054 

firms operated in this industry for the 

entire year. Of this number, 2,964 firms 

operated with fewer than 250 

employees. Based on this data, the 

majority of firms in this industry can be 

considered small under the SBA small 

business size standard. According to 

Commission data however, only two 

entities provide DBS service—DIRECTV 

(owned by AT&T) and DISH Network, 

which require a great deal of capital for 

operation. DIRECTV and DISH Network 

both exceed the SBA size standard for 

classification as a small business. 

Therefore, we must conclude based on 

internally developed Commission data, 

in general DBS service is provided only 

by large firms. 

27. Satellite Telecommunications. 

This industry comprises firms 

‘‘primarily engaged in providing 

telecommunications services to other 

establishments in the 

telecommunications and broadcasting 

industries by forwarding and receiving 

communications signals via a system of 

satellites or reselling satellite 

telecommunications.’’ Satellite 

telecommunications service providers 

include satellite and earth station 

operators. The SBA small business size 

standard for this industry classifies a 

business with $35 million or less in 

annual receipts as small. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2017 shows that 275 

firms in this industry operated for the 

entire year. Of this number, 242 firms 

had revenue of less than $25 million. 

Additionally, based on Commission 

data in the 2021 Universal Service 

Monitoring Report, as of December 31, 

2020, there were 71 providers that 

reported they were engaged in the 

provision of satellite 

telecommunications services. Of these 

providers, the Commission estimates 

that approximately 48 providers have 

1,500 or fewer employees. 

Consequently, using the SBA’s small 

business size standard, a little more 

than of these providers can be 

considered small entities. 

28. All Other Telecommunications. 

This industry 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 38631 

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. Providers of internet 

services (e.g. dial-up internet service 

providers (ISPs)) or VoIP services, via 

client-supplied telecommunications 

connections are also included in this 

industry. The SBA small business size 

standard for this industry classifies 

firms with annual receipts of $35 

million or less as small. U.S. Census 

Bureau data for 2017 shows that there 

were 1,079 firms in this industry that 

operated for the entire year. Of those 

firms, 1,039 had revenue of less than 

$25 million. Based on this data, the 

Commission estimates that the majority 

of ‘‘All Other Telecommunications’’ 

firms can be considered small. 

29. RespOrgs. Responsible 

Organizations, or RespOrgs (also 

referred to as Toll-Free Number (TFN) 

providers), 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. 

Based on information on the website of 

SOMOS, the entity that maintains a 

registry of Toll-Free Number providers 

(SMS/800 TFN Registry) for the more 

than 42 million Toll-Free numbers in 

North America, and the TSS Registry, a 

centralized registry for the use of TollFree Numbers in text messaging and 

multimedia services, there were 

approximately 446 registered RespOrgs/ 

Toll-Free Number providers in July 

2021. RespOrgs are often wireline 

carriers, however they can be include 

non-carrier entities. Accordingly, the 

description below for RespOrgs include 

both Carrier RespOrgs and Non-Carrier 

RespOrgs. 

30. Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the 

Commission nor the SBA have 

developed a small business size 

standard for Carrier RespOrgs. Wired 

Telecommunications Carriers, and 

Wireless Telecommunications Carriers 

(except Satellite) are the closest 

industries with an SBA small business 

size applicable to Carrier RespOrgs. 

31. Wired Telecommunications 

Carriers are 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 small business size standard 

for this industry classifies a business as 

small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 

U.S. Census Bureau data for 2017 shows 

that there were 3,054 firms that operated 

for the entire year. Of this number, 

2,964 firms operated with fewer than 

250 employees. Based on that data, we 

conclude that the majority of Carrier 

RespOrgs that operated with wirelinebased technology are small. 

32. Wireless Telecommunications 

Carriers (except Satellite) engage 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 SBA small business size 

standard for this industry classifies a 

business as small if it has 1,500 or fewer 

employees. For this industry, U.S. 

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

there were 2,893 firms that operated for 

the entire year. Of this number, 2,837 

firms employed fewer than 250 

employees. Based on this data, we 

conclude that the majority of Carrier 

RespOrgs that operated with wirelessbased technology are small. 

33. Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Neither the 

Commission, nor the SBA have 

developed a small business size 

standard Non-Carrier RespOrgs. Other 

Services Related to Advertising and 

Other Management Consulting 

Services’’ are the closest industries with 

an SBA small business size applicable 

to Non-Carrier RespOrgs. 

34. The Other Services Related to 

Advertising industry contains 

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 small business size 

standard for this industry classifies a 

business as small that has annual 

receipts of $16.5 million or less. U.S. 

Census Bureau data for 2017 shows that 

5,650 firms operated in this industry for 

the entire year. Of that number, 3,693 

firms operated with revenue of less than 

$10 million. Based on this data, we 

conclude that a majority of non-carrier 

RespOrgs who provide TFN-related 

management consulting services are 

small. 

35. The Other Management 

Consulting Services industry contains 

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 

small business size standard for this 

industry classifies a business as small if 

it has annual receipts of $16.5 million 

or less. U.S. Census Bureau data for 

2017 shows that 4,696 firms operated in 

this industry for the entire year. Of that 

number, 3,700 firms had revenue of less 

than $10 million. Based on this data, we 

conclude that a majority of non-carrier 

RespOrgs who provide TFN-related 

management consulting services are 

small. 

D. Description of Projected Reporting, 

Recordkeeping and Other Compliance 

Requirements for Small Entities 

36. The NPRM does not propose any 

changes to the Commission’s current 

information collection, reporting, 

recordkeeping, or compliance 

requirements for small entities. 

Regulatory fee payors, including small 

entities, will be required to pay the 

regulatory fees after such fees are 

adopted. 

E. 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 Commission has taken steps 

to minimize the economic impact on 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS3
38632 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

small entities by adopting a de minimis 

threshold under the section 9(e)(2) 

exemption in the Communications Act. 

Section 9(e)(2) of the Communications 

Act permits the Commission to exempt 

a party from paying regulatory fees if 

‘‘in the judgment of the Commission, 

the cost of collecting a regulatory fee 

established under this section from a 

party would exceed the amount 

collected from such party . . . .’’ The 

threshold applies only to filers of 

annual regulatory fees, not regulatory 

fees paid through multi-year filings. 

Currently, the de minimis threshold for 

annual regulatory fee payors is $1,000 or 

less for the fiscal year. In the NPRM, the 

Commission seeks comment on the 

feasibility of raising the de minimis 

threshold. 

F. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, 

Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed 

Rules 

39. None. 

VII. Ordering Clauses 

40. Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to sections 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 4(j), 

9, 9A, and 303(r) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 159, 

159A, and 303(r), this NPRM is hereby 

adopted. 

Federal Communications Commission.
