§ 1.1158 Form of payment for regulatory fees.
Any regulatory fee payment must be submitted in the form of a check,
bank draft or 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 Visa, Mastercard, American Express or
Discover credit cards only. The Commission discourages applicants from
submitting cash payments 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.
(a) Upon authorization from the Commission following a written request,
electronic fund transfer (EFT) payment of a regulatory fee may be made
as follows:
(1)(i) The payor may instruct its bank to make payment of the
regulatory fee directly to the Commission's lockbox bank, or
(ii) The payor may authorize the Commission to direct its lockbox bank
to withdraw funds directly from the payor's bank account.
(2) No EFT payment of a regulatory fee will be accepted unless the
payor has obtained the written authorization of the Commission to
submit regulatory fees electronically. Procedures for electronic
payment of regulatory fees will be announced by Public Notice. It is
the responsibility of the payor to insure that any electronic payment
is made in the manner required by the Commission. Failure to comply
with the Commission's procedures for electronic fee payment will result
in the return of the fee payment, and a penalty fee of 25 percent if
the subsequent refiling of the fee payment is late. Failure to comply
will also subject the payor to the penalties set forth in § 1.1164.
(b) Multiple payment instruments for a single regulatory fee are not
permitted, except that the Commission will accept multiple money orders
in payment of any fee where the fee exceeds the maximum amount for a
money order established by the issuing entity and the use of multiple
money orders is the only practicable means available for payment.
(c) Payment of multiple standard regulatory fees (including an
installment payment) due on the same date, may be made with a single
payment instrument and cover mass media, common carrier, international,
and cable service fee payments. Each regulatee is solely responsible
for accurately accounting for and listing each license or authorization
and the number of subscribers, access lines, or other relevant units on
the accompanying FCC Form 159 and, if needed, FCC Form 159C and for
making full payment for every regulatory fee listed on the accompanying
form. Any omission or payment deficiency of a regulatory fee will
result in a 25 percent penalty of the amount due and unpaid.
(d) Any regulatory fee payment (including a regulatory fee payment
submitted with an application in the wireless radio service) made by
credit card or money order must be submitted with a completed FCC Form
159. Failure to accurately enter the credit card number and date of
expiration and the payor's signature in the appropriate blocks on FCC
Form 159 will result in rejection of the credit card payment.
