Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for the 1994 Fiscal Year

The adoption of this Memorandum Opinion & Order authorizes Lee Enterprises, Incorporated and similarly situated licensees to file requests for reductions of the FY 1994 regulatory fees for their satellite stations. The Commission recognized that the present policy of requiring licensees to pay separate fees for both full service and satellite stations could result in small market station licensees paying higher fees than larger market stations. The adoption of this order will offer licensees of both full service and satellite television stations an opportunity to receive a waiver or reduction of their FY 1994 regulatory fees.
