Sec.  1.1110   Form of payment.

   (a) Fee payments should be in the form of a check, bank draft, on money
   order denominated in U.S. dollars and drawn on a United States financial
   institution and made payable to the Federal Communications Commission or by
   a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card. No other
   credit card is acceptable. Fees for applications and other filings paid by
   credit card will not be accepted unless the credit card section of FCC Form
   159 is completed in full. The Commission discourages applicants from
   submitting cash and will not be responsible for cash sent through the mail.
   Personal or corporate checks dated more than six months prior to their
   submission to the Commission's lockbox bank and postdated checks will not be
   accepted and will be returned as deficient. Third party checks (i.e., checks
   with a third party as maker or endorser) will not be accepted.

   (1) Specific procedures for electronic payments are announced in
   Bureau/Office fee filing guides.

   (2) It is the responsibility of the payer to insure that any electronic
   payment is made in the manner required by the Commission. Failure to comply
   with the Commission's procedures will result in the return of the
   application or other filing and the fee payment.

   (3) Payments by wire transfer will be accepted; however, to insure proper
   credit, applicants must follow the instructions set out in the appropriate
   Bureau/Office fee filing guide.

   (b) Applicants are required to submit one payment instrument (check, bank
   draft or money order) and FCC Form 159 with each application or filing.
   Multiple payment instruments for a single application or filing are not
   permitted. Except that a separate Fee Form (FCC Form 159) will not be
   required once the information requirements of that form (the Fee Code, fee
   amount, and total fee remitted) are incorporated into the underlying
   application form.

   (c) The Commission may accept multiple money orders in payment of a fee for
   a single application where the fee exceeds the maximum amount for a money
   order established by the issuing agency and the use of multiple money orders
   is the only practical method available for fee payment.

   (d) The Commission may require payment of fees with a cashier's check upon
   notification to an applicant or filer or prospective group of applicants
   under the conditions set forth below in paragraphs (d) (1) and (2) of this
   section.

   (1) Payment by cashier's check may be required when a person or organization
   has made payment, on one or more occasions with a payment instrument on
   which the Commission does not receive final payment and such failure is not
   excused by bank error.

   (2) The Commission will notify the party in writing that future payments
   must be made by cashier's check until further notice. If, subsequent to such
   notice, payment is not made by cashier's check, the party's payment will not
   be accepted and its application or other filing will be returned.

   (e) All fees collected will be paid into the general fund of the United
   States Treasury in accordance with Pub. L. 99–272.

   (f) The Commission will furnish a stamped receipt of an application only
   upon request that complies with the following instructions. In order to
   obtain a stamped receipt for an application (or other filing), the
   application package must include a copy of the first page of the
   application, clearly marked “copy”, submitted expressly for the purpose of
   serving as a receipt of the filing. The copy should be the top document in
   the package. The copy will be date-stamped immediately and provided to the
   bearer of the submission, if hand delivered. For submissions by mail, the
   receipt copy will be provided through return mail if the filer has attached
   to the receipt copy a stamped self-addressed envelope of sufficient size to
   contain the date stamped copy of the application. No remittance receipt
   copies will be furnished.
