Sec.  1.1167   Error claims related to regulatory fees.

   (a) Challenges to determinations or an insufficient regulatory fee payment
   or delinquent fees should be made in writing. A challenge to a determination
   that a party is delinquent in paying a standard regulatory fee must be
   accompanied by suitable proof that the fee had been paid or waived (deferred
   from payment during the period in question), or by the required regulatory
   payment and any assessed penalty payment (see  Sec. 1.1164(c) of this subpart).
   Challenges submitted with a fee payment must be submitted to address stated
   on the invoice or billing statement. Challenges not accompanied by a fee
   payment should be filed with the Commission's Secretary and clearly marked
   to the attention of the Managing Director or emailed to ARINQUIRIES@fcc.gov.

   (b) The filing of a petition for reconsideration or an application for
   review of a fee determination will not relieve licensees from the
   requirement that full and proper payment of the underlying fee payment be
   submitted, as required by the Commission's action, or delegated action, on a
   request for waiver, reduction or deferment. Petitions for reconsideration
   and applications for review submitted with a fee payment must be submitted
   to the same location as the original fee payment. Petitions for
   reconsideration and applications for review not accompanied by a fee payment
   should be filed with the Commission's Secretary and clearly marked to the
   attention of the Managing Director.

   (1) Failure to submit the fee by the date required will result in the
   assessment of a 25 percent penalty.

   (2) If the fee payment should fail while the Commission is considering the
   matter, the petition for reconsideration or application for review will be
   dismissed.
