Sec.  1.1109   Payment of charges.

   (a)  Electronic fee payments do not require the use of a FCC Form 159,
   Remittance Advice. An electronic fee payment must be made on or before the
   day the application and appropriate processing form are filed.

   (b) The schedule of fees for applications and other filings lists those
   applications and other filings that must be accompanied by a FCC Form 159,
   Remittance Advice. A separate FCC Form 159 will not be required once the
   information requirements of that form (payor information) is incorporated
   into the underlying application form.

   (c) Applications and other filings that are not submitted in accordance with
   these instructions will be returned as unprocessable.

   Note: This requirement for the simultaneous submission of fees forms with
   applications or other filings does not apply to the payment of fees for
   which the Commission has established a billing process. See  Sec. 1.1119 of this
   subpart.

   (d)  Applications returned to applicants for additional information or
   corrections will not require an additional fee when resubmitted, unless the
   additional information results in an increase of the original fee amount.
   Those applications not requiring an additional fee should be resubmitted
   directly to the Bureau/Office requesting the additional information. The
   original fee will be forfeited if the additional information or corrections
   are not resubmitted to the appropriate Bureau/Office by the prescribed
   deadline. A forfeited application fee will not be refunded. If an additional
   fee is required, the original fee will be returned and the application must
   be resubmitted with a new remittance in the amount of the required fee to
   the  Commission's lockbox bank. Applicants should attach a copy of the
   Commission's  request for additional or corrected information to their
   resubmission.

   (1)  If  the  Bureau/Office  staff  discovers within 30 days after the
   resubmission that the required fee was not submitted, the application will
   be dismissed.

   (2) If after 30 days the Bureau/Office staff discovers the required fee has
   not been paid, the application will be retained and a 25 percent late fee
   will  be  assessed  on the deficient amount even if the Commission has
   completed its action on the application. Any Commission actions taken prior
   to timely payment of these charges are contingent and subject to recession.

   (e) Should the staff change the status of an application, resulting in an
   increase in the fee due, the applicant will be billed for the remainder
   under the conditions established by  Sec. 1.1116(b) of the rules.

   Note: Due to the statutory requirements applicable to tariff filings, the
   procedures for handling tariff filings may vary from the procedures set out
   in the rules.
