Consequently, we find that Mr. Guss, who is a Commission licensee, cannot avoid his responsibility to respond to Commission correspondence when he refuses to  S'take delivery of the Commission correspondence which requires the response. See Section 1.5(b) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.5(b) ("The licensee is responsible for making any arrangements which may be necessary in his particular circumstances to assure that Commission ... correspondence delivered to ... [his official] address will promptly reach him or some person authorized by him to act in his behalf.")  S'18.Based on the above violations, the forfeiture penalty was assessed pursuant to Section 503 of the Act, 47 U.S.C.  503, and Section 1.80 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80. In assessing the forfeiture  SJ 'amount, the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and the Commission's Policy  S$ 'Statement, Standards for Assessing Forfeitures, (Policy Statement), 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997) were followed. Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. 47 U.S.C.  503(b)(2)(D). We have reviewed Mr. Guss' response and find that evidence has not been presented which would warrant mitigation of the forfeiture amount.  S6'  S':1ORDERING CLAUSES   S'\19.
