TITLE 47--TELEGRAPHS, TELEPHONES, AND RADIOTELEGRAPHS
CHAPTER 5--WIRE OR RADIO COMMUNICATION
SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 158. Application fees
(a) Assessment and collection
The Commission shall assess and collect application fees at such
rates as the Commission shall establish or at such modified rates as it
shall establish pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of this
section.
(b) Review and adjustment of Schedule by Commission; notification to
Congress; judicial review
(1) The Schedule of Application Fees established under this section
shall be reviewed by the Commission every two years after October 1,
1991, and adjusted by the Commission to reflect changes in the Consumer
Price Index. Increases or decreases in application fees shall apply to
all categories of application fees, except that individual fees shall
not be adjusted until the increase or decrease, as determined by the net
change in the Consumer Price Index since April 7, 1986, amounts to at
least $5.00 in the case of fees under $100.00, or 5 percent in the case
of fees of $100.00 or more. All fees which require adjustment will be
rounded upward to the next $5.00 increment. The Commission shall
transmit to the Congress notification of any such adjustment not later
than 90 days before the effective date of such adjustment.
(2) Increases or decreases in application fees made pursuant to this
subsection shall not be subject to judicial review.
(c) Additional application fee; assessment as penalty; amount; dismissal
of application or other filing
(1) The Commission shall prescribe by regulation an additional
application fee which shall be assessed as a penalty for late payment of
application fees required by subsection (a) of this section. Such
penalty shall be 25 percent of the amount of the application fee which
was not paid in a timely manner.
(2) The Commission may dismiss any application or other filing for
failure to pay in a timely manner any application fee or penalty under
this section.
(d) Inapplicability of application fees to certain radio services;
waiver or deferment of payment
(1) The application fees established under this section shall not be
applicable (A) to governmental entities and nonprofit entities licensed
in the following radio services: Local Government, Police, Fire, Highway
Maintenance, Forestry-Conservation, Public Safety, and Special Emergency
Radio, or (B) to governmental entities licensed in other services.
(2) The Commission may waive or defer payment of an charge \1\ in
any specific instance for good cause shown, where such action would
promote the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ So in original. Probably should be ``an application fee''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) Deposit of moneys in general fund; reimbursement of United States
for administration of chapter
Moneys received from application fees established under this section
shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury to reimburse the
United States for amounts appropriated for use by the Commission in
carrying out its functions under this chapter.
(f) Rules and regulations
The Commission shall prescribe appropriate rules and regulations to
carry out the provisions of this section.
(g) Schedule of Application Fees
Until modified pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the
