"When included as part of base station applications, a request for blanket dispatch station authority made pursuant to the provisions of § 21.519(a) of this chapter does not require an individual application. A request for such dispatch station authority filed separately from a base station construction permit application requires an application for modification of license and an appropriate fee. 'An application for a standby transmitter having its own independent radiating system requires the same fee as a base station application. "No additional fee will be charged for a single application for a license to cover a construction permit unless there is a modification or variation of outstanding authority involved. In that event the appropriate fee for modification is applicable. "This fee applies to any request for dispatch station authority not made pursuant to § 21.519(a) of this chapter. 'The fee is not required for applications filed by governmental entities. 'For applicants who propose to multiplex their radio systems and who make the supplementary showing required by secs. 21.608 and 21.706 of this chapter in the lead application in lieu of filing a separate application under sec. 214 of the Act, an additional grant fee will be payable at the rate prescribed in the schedule for sec. 214 applications to extend or supplement facilities. "The filing fees specified in the schedule for satellite communications services do not apply to initial applications for domestic systems considered in conjunction with that of Western Union; Public Notice FCC 70-953. However, the grant fee will be applicable to any grant. All subsequent applications will be subject to the filing as well as the grant fees. 'In the case of connecting circuits for international satellite circuits the mileage is computed as the distance from the U.S. terminal to the nearest Earth station. "Projects undertaken pursuant to grant of continuing authority as prescribed in § 63.03(c) and 63.04(c) of this chapter are subject to the grant fee. "'Fees for other than 4 kHz or 3 kHz channels will be the appropriate multiple or fractions of the 4 kHz or 3 kHz channel fee. (No grant fee is required for a video and associated audio channels.) Where the transmission of voice or digital data will be accomplished in the digital mode, a 64 kb/s transmission channel is to be considered the equivalent of one 4 kHz analog channel for purposes of calculating the grant fee. "Unless otherwise specified, the grant fees based on channel miles for sec. 214 applications are calculated on the basis of airline mileage between terminal cities (up to a maximum of 2,500 miles between cities). Where domestic satellite channels are to be established between several cities on a demand use basis (as opposed to a point-to-point basis), the grant fee is calculated on the basis of the arithmetic average of the distances between each of the cities being so interconnected. Where the channels being established are one-way (rather than two-way), 1/2 the normal grant fee will apply. "For blanket applications filed pursuant to § 63.67 or 63.68 of this chapter, the grant fee shall apply to each individual main or branch office for which reduction of hours is authorized. "Total operating revenues for the previous calendar year of filing carrier and its communications common carrier subsidiaries which are concurring or connec ting carriers in the tariff offering. The fees for tariff filings made by 1 carrier solely on behalf of another carrier shall be based on the total operating revenues of the carrier for which the filing is made. "An additional grant fee of $50 is applied for any application proposing transmitter power in excess of 10 watts. "The application fee is reduced for each application in this category by $10 if it is filed with punched cards as provided for in § 21.14(a) of this chapter.

(9) Applications for licenses for aircraft stations to operate with only an emergency locator transmitter (ELT); or an application for only an emergency position indicating radio-beacon (EPIRB) station; or an application for modification of a ship station license to include authority for operation of an EPIRB. Note 1: If multiple applications for certificates of compliance are simultaneously filed by cable television systems having a common headend and identical ownership but serving or proposing to serve more than one community, the full $15 fee will be required for only one of the communities; a $5 fee will be required for each of the other communities. (b) An annual authorization fee shall be paid by each CATV system on or before April 1, of each year for the preceding calendar year. The fee for each system shall be equal to the number of its subscribers times 13 cents. The number of subscribers shall be determined by averaging the number of subscribers on the last day of each calendar quarter. (See § 1.1102(f).) Note 2: Where a system offers bulk-rates to multiple-outlet subscribers, such as apartment house or motel operators, each bulkrate contract is viewed as a number of subscriptions to be calculated by dividing the total annual charge for the bulkrate contract by the system's basic annual subscription rate for an individual household. (Thus, for example, if a cable television system charges an apartment house operator $1,000 a year for a bulk-rate contract and charges individual households a basic rate or $50 per year, the bulk-rate contract is counted as 20 subscriptions (i.e., 1,000@50=20.) Where a variety of “annual subscription rates" for individual households exists (e.g., $50 per year, if paid in one sum, or $60 per year, if paid on a per-month basis), the rate used in the subscriber formula shall be the lowest annual rate which is offered to individual subscribers ($50 here). Likewise, if the bulk-rate contract is on a monthly basis, it shall be divided by the lowest monthly rate which is offered. In the preceding example, a $50 per year charge should be viewed as a charge of $4.17 per month. It is not contemplated, however, that such calculations should be made with respect to extra payments for additional cable television outlets within the same individual household. §1.1117 Schedule of fees for commercial radio operator examinations and licensing. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, applications for commercial radio operator examinations and licensing shall be accompanied by the fees prescribed below: (1) Applications for new operator license or permit: Restricted radiotelephone permit (alien), 5-year (2) Application for endorsement of license or permit 1st-class, 2d-class, or 3d-class, either radiotele- Restricted radiotelephone operator permit (alien) (4) Application for replacement or duplicate license or permit $4 2 4 4 2 242 (b) Whenever an applicant requests both an operator license or permit and an endorsement, the required fee will be the fee prescribed for the license document involved only. (c) No fee is required for applications for a replacement license or permit for a marriage-related change of name. (d) When an application is filed for a new license or permit and the applicant fails to appear for the required examination within 18 months, the application will be null and void for failure to prosecute and no refund will be made. (e) Operator authorizations are issued by the Commission subject to payment and receipt of the applicable fee pursuant to the requirements of § 1.1102 of this chapter. In the case of operator authorizations, when the Commission is unable to collect the prescribed fee by a specified date upon notification mailed to the applicant at his last known address, the authorization will become null, void and ineffective after that date.

The application for receiver certification shall be filed simultaneously with, but under separate cover from, the application for type acceptance. 'In the case of an equipment in which one or more receivers and transmitters are packaged as an individual equipment and identified by a single type number, each receiver shall be separately certificated and each transmitter shall be separately type accepted. The application(s) for certification for each receiver shall be filed simultaneously with, but under separate cover from, the application(s) for type acceptance. 'Application for certification or type acceptance of equipments which bear different identification will be considered separate applications, regardless of whether such equipment may be otherwise identical. 'Fees for type acceptance are not required in the following cases: (a) when a request for type acceptance is included in an application for station license and covers only the item of equipment to be authorized in that particular station; (b) when a request is made by the licensee of a station for approval of modifications to a specific item of existing type accepted equipment authorized in that particular station. "Whenever an item subject to type approval is required to comply with more than 1 set of technical specifications, separate fees will be required for each set of technical specifications for which compliance is examined. For example, a frequency monitor for AM and FM broadcasts will require payment of fees applicable to each. Likewise, combination units of items of the same type, for example, a combination of two radars, will require payment of 2 fees. 'A separate application, with payment of appropriate fees, is required for each equipment bearing different identification, whether in trade name or model number, even though such equipment may otherwise be identical to another. However, see note 9 below. "The filing fee must be remitted with the application. The applicant may include the grant fee if he desires; otherwise the grant fee shall be remitted within the prescribed 45 days after grant of type approval. See § 1.1102 of this chapter. 'A single application is required for a combination under a single identification of 2 or more equipments which are subject to type approval, such as a combination of 2 radars. However, payment of separate fees will be required for each equipment which is tested. For an equipment which is subject to 2 or more sets of technical specifications in the rules, separate fees will be required for each set of tests. 'For a family or series of equipment models having the same radio frequency generator or transmitter and so nearly identical in design and construction that tests on only 1 model will be required, the model tested will be subject to the fees specified in paragraph (c)(1), and the other models in that series will be subject to the fees specified in paragraph (c)(2). For example, this would apply to 2 or more models of microwave ovens identical except for identification, styling, and, minor electrical or mechanical changes. Likewise, it would apply to 2 or more models of marine radars which employ the same transmitter but with different combinations of accessories. However, initial applications for type approval which request use of alternate magnetrons or other critical components will require payment of the fee indicated in paragraph (c)(1) plus the fee required in paragraph (c)(3)a. 1075 percent of the filing and grant fees specified in (1) above for the particular class of equipment.

[30 FR 9271, July 24, 1965, as amended at 45 FR 45591, July 7, 1980] § 1.1203 Restricted adjudicative proceedings. (a) All adjudicative proceedings, including the following, are "restricted" from the time they are designated for hearing until they are removed from hearing status, or have been decided by the Commission, and are no longer subject to reconsideration by the Commission or to review by any court: (1) Any proceeding involving the issuance, renewal, modification or assignment of any instrument authorizing the construction or operation of radio facilities under Title III of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. (2) Any proceeding involving the transfer of control of a corporate licensee or permittee under section 310 of the Communications Act.

(b) In the following circumstances, in addition, proceedings involving applications filed under section 308 of the Communications Act are "restricted", as to interested persons, prior to their designation for hearing: (1) Application proceedings are restricted as to interested persons from the day on which a petition to deny is filed. (See section 309(d) of the Communications Act.) If the petition is denied, the proceeding is restricted until the order disposing of the petition is no longer subject to reconsideration by the Commission or to review by any court. If the proceeding is designated for hearing, paragraph (a) of this section applies. (2) Application proceedings are restricted as to interested persons from the day on which public notice of the filing of a mutually exclusive application is given. Prior to the day on which public notice is given, such proceedings are restricted as to any interested person having actual knowledge that a mutually exclusive application has been filed. If action is taken by the applicants (or any of them) looking toward removal of the conflict between the applications, the restrictions continue until such action has been approved by the Commission and the Commission's order with respect thereto is no longer subject to reconsideration by the Commission or to review by any court. See § 1.525. If the proceeding is designated for hearing paragraph (a) of this section applies. (i) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the "Public Notices" issued at regular intervals listing all applications and major amendments thereto which have been tendered (or, in non-broadcast services, accepted) for filing shall constitute public notice of the filing of a mutually exclusive application. See § 1.564(c), 1.962(e) and 21.27(b) of this chapter. (ii) Where there is doubt as to whether two applications are in fact mutually exclusive, or where the conflict between the applications does not clearly appear from such regularly issued "Public Notices", the Commission will endeavor to issue specific public notices stating that there is a possibility of conflict between the applications. In such circumstances, the specific public notice, rather than the regularly issued "Public Notices" of applications tendered (or accepted) for filing, shall constitute public notice for purposes of this section. (Such public notices are based on a preliminary review of the applications by the administrative staff and are accorded no significance in determining whether the applications should be designated for hearing.) |
