Sec. 1.1157  Payment of charges for regulatory fees.

    Payment of a regulatory fee, required under Secs. 1.1152 through 
1.1156, shall be filed in the following manner:
    (a) Payments of regulatory fees shall be submitted with the filing 
of any application for a new, renewal or reinstatement of a license or 
other authorization in the wireless radio services. (1) Any regulatory 
fee submitted with an application in the wireless radio services shall 
include an advance payment of the total annual regulatory fee payment 
due for the entire term of the license or other authorization. The 
amount of the regulatory fee payment due with any application in the 
wireless radio service shall be the multiple of the number of years in 
the entire term of the requested license or other authorization 
multiplied by the annual fee payment required in the Schedule of 
Regulatory Fees, effective at the time the application is filed. Except 
as set forth in Sec. 1.1160, advance payments shall be final and shall 
not be readjusted during the term of the license or authorization, 
notwithstanding any subsequent increase or decrease in the annual amount 
of a fee required under the Schedule of Regulatory Fees.
    (2) Failure to file the appropriate regulatory fee with an 
application in the wireless radio service will result in the return of 
the accompanying application, including an application, for which the 
Commission has assigned a specific filing deadline.
    (b)(1) Payments of standard regulatory fees, applicable to mass 
media, common carrier, cable and international services, shall be filed 
in full on an annual basis at a time announced by the Commission or the 
Managing Director, pursuant to delegated authority, and published in the 
Federal Register.
    (2) Large regulatory fees, as annually defined by the Commission, 
may be submitted in installment payments or in a single payment on a 
date certain as announced by the Commission or the Managing Director, 
pursuant to delegated authority, and published in the Federal Register.
    (c) Standard regulatory fee payments, as well as any installment 
payment, must be filed with a FCC Form 159, FCC Remittance Advice, and a 
FCC Form 159C, Remittance Advice Continuation Sheet, if additional space 
is needed. Failure to submit a copy of FCC Form 159 with a standard 
regulatory fee payment, or an installment payment, will result in the 
return of the submission and a 25 percent penalty if the payment is 
resubmitted after the date the Commission establishes for the payment of 
standard regulatory fees and for any installment payment.
    (1) Any late filed regulatory fee payment will be subject to the 
penalties set forth in section 1.1164.
    (2) If one or more installment payments are untimely submitted or 
not submitted at all, the eligibility of the subject regulatee to submit 
installment payments may be cancelled.
