Assessment of Annual Regulatory Fees for AM and FM Broadcast Radio Licensees

Короткий зміст

In its decision establishing regulatory fees for fiscal year 1996, the Commission stated that it would initiate a Notice of Inquiry, in order to develop a more equitable methodology for assessing regulatory fees upon AM and FM licensees, and in particular, that it would consider a specific methodology proposed by the Montana Broadcaster Association. Currently, the Commission assesses regulatory fees on AM and FM broadcasters based upon a station's license classification. Montana's proposal bases the fee on both a station's class of license and market designation. This Notice of Inquiry requests comments on Montana's proposal and invites interested parties to suggest alternative methodologies for assessing these fees.
