Based on this information, we conclude that the number of small broadband PCS licensees will include the 90 winning C Block bidders and the 93 qualifying bidders in the D, E, and F blocks, for a total of 183 small PCS providers as defined by the SBA and the Commission's auction rules.  X -46. Narrowband PCS. The Commission has auctioned nationwide and regional licenses for narrowband PCS. There are 11 nationwide and 30 regional licensees for narrowband PCS. The Commission does not have sufficient information to determine whether any of these licensees are small businesses within the SBAapproved definition. At present, there have been no auctions held for the major trading area (MTA) and basic trading area (BTA) narrowband PCS licenses. The Commission anticipates a total of 561 MTA licenses and 2,958 BTA licenses will be awarded in the auctions. Those auctions, however, have not yet been scheduled. Given the facts that nearly all radiotelephone companies have fewer than 1,500 employees and that no reliable estimate of the number of prospective MTA and BTA narrowband licensees can be made, we assume, that all of the licenses will be awarded to small entities, as that term is defined by the SBA.

We do not know how many firms provide 800 MHz or 900 MHz geographic area SMR service pursuant to extended implementation authorizations, nor how many of these providers have annual revenues of less than $15 million. We do know that one of these firms has over $15 million in revenues. We assume that all of the remaining existing extended implementation authorizations are held by small entities, as that term is defined by the SBA. The Commission has held auctions for geographic area licenses in the 900 MHz SMR band.  X4-There were 60 winning bidders who qualified as small entities in the 900 MHz auction.

In addition to those licensees described in paragraph 49 above, the regulatory fees apply to all SMR providers in the Private Mobile Radio Service (PMRS) and the Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS), except for those licensees that are statutorily exempt. These radios are used by companies of all sizes operating in all U.S. business categories. Because of the vast array of SMR users, the Commission has not developed nor would it be possible to develop a definition of small entities specifically applicable to SMR users. For the purpose of determining whether a licensee is a small business as defined by the SBA, each licensee would need to be evaluated within its own business area. " >( 0*((z"Ԍ X-51.

Small businesses in the aviation and marine radio services use a marine very high frequency (VHF) radio, any type of emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB), and/or radar, a VHF aircraft radio, and/or any type of emergency locator transmitter (ELT). The Commission has not developed a definition of small entities specifically applicable to these small businesses. Therefore, the applicable definition of small entity is the definition under the Small Business Administration rules applicable to water transportation and transportation by air. This definition provides that a small entity is any entity employing less than 500 persons for water transportation, and 1,500  X-for transportation by air.X" yO-#]\  PCP#э See 13 CFR  121.201, SIC Major Group Code 44 Water Transportation (4491, 4492, 4493, 4499) and 45 Transportation by Air (4522, 4581). The Commission is unable at this time to make a meaningful estimate of the number of potential small businesses. 55. Most applicants for individual recreational licenses are individuals. Approximately 581,000 ship station licensees and 131,000 aircraft station licensees operate domestically and are not subject to the radio carriage requirements of any statute or treaty. Therefore, for purposes of our evaluations and conclusions in this FRFA, we estimate that there may be at least 712,000 potential licensees which are small businesses, as that term is defined by the SBA.

Governments and nonprofit (exempt under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) entities are exempt from payment of regulatory fees and need not submit payment. Noncommercial educational broadcast licensees are exempt from regulatory fees as are licensees of auxiliary broadcast services such as low power auxiliary stations, television auxiliary service stations, remote pickup stations and aural broadcast auxiliary stations where such licenses are used in conjunction with commonly owned"J'0*(('" noncommercial educational stations. Emergency Alert System licenses for auxiliary service facilities are also exempt as are instructional television fixed service licensees. Regulatory fees are automatically waived for the licensee of any translator station that: (1) is not licensed to, in whole or in part, and does not have common ownership with, the licensee of a commercial broadcast station; (2) does not derive income from advertising; and (3) is dependent on subscriptions or contributions from members of the community served for support. Receive only earth station permittees are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. A regulatee will be relieved of its fee payment requirement if its total fee due, including all categories of fees for which payment is due by the entity, amounts to less than $10. Interstate"A0*((q" telephone service providers must compute their annual regulatory fee based on their adjusted gross interstate revenue using information they already supply to the Commission in compliance with the TRS Fund, and they must complete and submit the FCC Form 159. Compliance with the fee schedule will require some licensees to tabulate the number of units (e.g., cellular telephones, pagers, cable TV subscribers) they have in service, complete and submit an FCC Form 159. Licensees ordinarily will keep a list of the number of units they have in service as part of their normal business practices. Licensees/regulatees that must pay on the basis of subscriber counts shall submit documentation which supports the number of units for which payment is submitted. Each licensee/regulatee shall provide certification by affixing their signature to the FCC Form 159 that all information submitted is true and accurate. No additional outside professional skills are required to complete the FCC Form 159, and it can be completed by the employees responsible for an entity's business records. 61. Each licensee must submit the FCC Form 159 to the Commission's lockbox bank after computing the number of units subject to the fee. As an option, licensees are permitted to file electronically or on computer diskette to minimize the burden of submitting multiple copies of the FCC Form 159. Although not mandatory, the latter procedure may require additional technical skills.

The Commission's rules currently make provision for relief in exceptional circumstances. Persons or entities that believe they have been placed in the wrong regulatory fee category or are experiencing extraordinary and compelling financial hardship, upon a showing that such circumstances override the public interest in reimbursing the Commission for its regulatory  XH-costs, may request a waiver, reduction or deferment of payment of the regulatory fee.gH" yO -#]\  PCP#э 47 U.S.C.  1.1166.g However, timely submission of the required regulatory fee must accompany requests for waivers or reductions. This will avoid any late payment penalty if the request is denied. The fee will be refunded if the request is granted. In exceptional and compelling instances (where payment of the regulatory fee along with the waiver or reduction request could result in reduction of service to a community or other financial hardship to the licensee), the Commission will accept a petition to defer payment along with a waiver or reduction request.  X- V. Steps Taken to Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and  Xy-Significant Alternatives Considered:  Xb-  XK-65. The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation Act, Public Law 104208 , requires the Commission to revise its Schedule of Regulatory Fees in order to recover the amount of regulatory fees that Congress, pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Communications Act, as  X-amended, has required it to collect for Fiscal Year (FY) 1997. See  47 U.S.C. 159 (a). We have sought comment on the proposed methodology for implementing these statutory requirements and any other potential impact of these proposals on small business entities. The Commission agrees with the comments submitted by AMTA concerning inclusion of all SMR providers among licensees subject to payment of regulatory fees. Clarifying language  X-has been added to this FRFA. (See paragraph 50 infra.)  X|- rrn(#r 66. With the introduction of actual cost accounting data for computation of regulatory fees, we found that some fees which were very small in previous years would have increased dramatically. The statute establishing regulatory fees provides for permitted amendments to  X -be made to the schedule of fees in the public interest. x" yOI$-#]\  PCP#э See 47 U.S.C.  159(b)(1)(A) and (b)(3). The methodology adopted in this  X -Report and Order minimizes this impact by limiting the amount of increase and shifting costs to other services which, for the most part, are larger entities. "C0*((;"Ԍ67. Conversely, we have found that our costs for regulating commercial microwave (domestic public fixed) services are significantly lower than previously thought. We are, therefore, eliminating the annual "large" regulatory fee for domestic public fixed services and combining this fee category with the private microwave service with a single "microwave" designation. The impact on domestic public fixed licensees will be a reduction of the fee to a "small" up front payment for the entire license term applied only to new, modification and renewal applicants. Current domestic public fixed licensees are exempt from payment of a regulatory fee until such time as they apply for a modification or renewal of their license. 68. We have developed and adopted an alternative methodology for assessing fees to recover the regulatory costs attributable to AM and FM radio stations. The radio industry has requested relief for small stations, and we have received two alternative proposals which we have evaluated. One would segment licensees by Arbitron radio markets in addition to station  X -class. " yON-#]\  PCP#э See discussion of Montana Broadcasters Association Comments at NPRM paragraphs 2932 supra. The other proposal would segment licensees by service area population in addition to  X -station class. X" yO-#]\  PCP#э See discussion of NAB Comments at NPRM paragraphs 3336 supra. Although neither proposal was found workable in its proposed state, we have expanded upon the use of population data to formulate our own schedule. The impact of adoption of our proposal will result in lower fees for smaller, less powerful stations relative to larger, more powerful stations in the same radio market; or stations potentially serving a larger population.  XK- 69. Several categories of licensees and regulatees are exempt from payment of regulatory  X-fees. See Footnote 103 supra.  X-  Report to Congress : The Commission shall include a copy of this Final Regulatory  X-Flexibility Analysis, along with this Report and Order, in a report to Congress pursuant to the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C.  801(a)(1)(A). A  X-copy of this FRFA (or summary thereof) will also be published in the Federal Register, along  X-with this Report and Order. "|D0*(("  X-  .  Attachment B Đ b<v$P} SOURCES OF PAYMENT UNIT ESTIMATES FOR FY 1997  aE X"&c X O(X#G\  P6G;CP#In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 1997, we adjusted FY 1996 payment units for each service to more accurately reflect expected FY 1997 payment  X"%liabilities. We obtained our updated estimates through a variety of means. For example, we used Commission licensee data bases, actual prior year payment records  X"%&and industry and trade association projections when available. We tried to obtain verification for these estimates from multiple sources and, in all cases, we compared  X"q%FY 1997 estimates with actual FY 1996 payment units to ensure that our revised estimates were reasonable. Where it made sense, we adjusted and/or rounded our  X"%final estimates to take into consideration the fact that certain variables that impact on the number of payment units cannot yet be estimated exactly. These include  X"%&an unknown number of waivers and/or exemptions that may occur in FY 1997 and the fact that, in many services, the number of actual licensees or station operators  X"4&fluctuates from time to time due to economic, technical or other reasons. Therefore, when we note, for example, that our estimated FY 1997 payment units are based  aE X"D%on FY 1996 actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 1997 projection is exactly the same number as FY 1996.
