FCC Regulatory Fees Due Sept. 7

FCC regulatory fees must be in to Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh by Sept. 7 but stations can start sending the money Aug. 23. Payments after Sept. 7 will be assessed a 25% late fee.
The fees apply to all industries the FCC regulates. For radio, fees increased across the board from a low of $25 to a high of $400 over last year.
This year’s fees are projected to total more than $280 million; 2004 was projected at $273 million.
The U.S. Treasury has told the commission it may reject credit card payments for amounts of $100 million or more. If you owe that much, use a check, money order or Fed Wire payment methods.
