The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has updated its Schedule of Application Fees to account for a 17.41% increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This adjustment affects a range of application fees and ensures compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, which mandates fee updates every even-numbered year. The changes, which became effective on May 23, 2025, are non-major under the Congressional Review Act and avoid imposing new information collection requirements on small businesses. Filers must continue to make payments electronically via the FCC's website.
Simple Explanation
The FCC updated their fee schedule because things cost more now, making it a bit pricier when people want to apply for certain services, but you still have to pay online.
