Sec. 158 - Application fees

All fees which require adjustment will be rounded upward to the next $5.00 increment.

(2) Increases or decreases in application fees made pursuant to this subsection shall not be subject to judicial review.

This chapter, referred to in subsec. (e), was in the original "this Act", meaning act June 19, 1934, ch. 652, 48 Stat. 1064, known as the Communications Act of 1934, which is classified principally to this chapter. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see section 609 of this title and Tables.
Parts II and III of title III of the Communications Act, referred to in subsec. (g), mean parts II and III of title III of the Communications Act of 1934 which are classified to parts II (§351 et seq.) and III (§381 et seq.), respectively, of subchapter III of this chapter.
1 So in original. Probably should be "an application fee".
