CORRECTION TO AUTOMATED SOFTWARE USED TO SUBMIT
1998 REGULATORY FEE PAYMENTS

This Public Notice is being issued to all users of the 1998 Regulatory Fee Automated Software. A Public Notice was issued on August 26, 1998, (GN 98-12) which provided information on how to use this software program to pay 1998 Regulatory Fees.

Users have brought to our attention that there is a software glitch in the payment type codes and the corresponding fee value. The result is that values are not applied properly for the affected payment type codes. ALL USERS OF THE DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE MUST DOWNLOAD AND USE THE "FIX" TO ENSURE PROPER CALCULATION OF FEES (see procedure No. 2).

A revised fee filer software program has now replaced the defective version issued on August 26, 1998, and is now available for downloading from the internet or purchase from ITS.

For those users who downloaded or purchased the defective software prior to this Public Notice, and entered payment data, a "fix" software program has been developed to preserve the data entered and ensure correct payment amounts are applied. The "fix" software is also available for downloading from the internet.
