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 fee 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. 1.1118 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. 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 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. 1.110(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.
