The FCC has adjusted its schedule of fees for processing applications and other filings. Pursuant to Section 8(b)(1) of the Communications Act, in every even-numbered year, the Commission must adjust the schedule of its application fees to account for changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded to the nearest $5 increment. This year, the Commission has changed the application fees to reflect a net change in the CPI of 11.6 percent, an increase of 30.958 index points calculated from 267.054 to 298.012. The Commission has specified new application and other filing fees for: (1) wireless telecommunications services; (2) equipment approval and experiential radio services; (3) media services; (4) wireline competition services; (5) enforcement services; and (6) international services.
