§  1.1167   Error claims related to regulatory fees.

   (a) Challenges to determinations or an insufficient regulatory fee
   payment or delinquent fees should be made in writing. A challenge to a
   determination that a party is delinquent in paying a standard
   regulatory fee must be accompanied by suitable proof that the fee had
   been paid or waived (deferred from payment during the period in
   question), or by the required regulatory payment and any assessed
   penalty payment (see §  1.1164(c) of this subpart). Challenges
   submitted with a fee payment must be submitted to address stated on the
   invoice or billing statement. Challenges not accompanied by a fee
   payment should be filed with the Commission's Secretary and clearly
   marked to the attention of the Managing Director or emailed to
   ARINQUIRIES@fcc.gov.

   (b) The filing of a petition for reconsideration or an application for
   review of a fee determination will not relieve licensees from the
   requirement that full and proper payment of the underlying fee payment
   be submitted, as required by the Commission's action, or delegated
   action, on a request for waiver, reduction or deferment. Petitions for
   reconsideration and applications for review submitted with a fee
   payment must be submitted to the same location as the original fee
   payment. Petitions for reconsideration and applications for review not
   accompanied by a fee payment should be filed with the Commission's
   Secretary and clearly marked to the attention of the Managing Director.

   (1) Failure to submit the fee by the date required will result in the
   assessment of a 25 percent penalty.

   (2) If the fee payment should fail while the Commission is considering
   the matter, the petition for reconsideration or application for review
   will be dismissed.
