FY 1994 Regulatory Fees

In June 1994, the Commission adopted rules to implement Section 9 of the Communications Act to provide for the assessment and collection of regulatory fees to recover the cost of the Commission's enforcement, policy and rulemaking, user information and international activities. This MO&O is responding to petitions for reconsideration and clarification of the FY 1994 Report and Order. This MO&O clarifies the standards under which waivers, reductions or exemptions will be granted and the rule adopted broadens the scope of the exemptions for nonprofit entities. The intended effect of this MO&O is to provide guidance to the public and avoid any potential uncertainty.
