As part of a continuing effort to enhance the Universal Licensing System (ULS), the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) has created a new interface called Pay Fees, which allows customers of ULS to pay for wireless license applications via the online FCC Form 159 directly from the ULS website. Previously, filers could only access the online Form 159 from the final confirmation page of a ULS application. The Form 159 can still be accessed at the end of the application process, but Pay Fees adds the flexibility of returning to submit fees after filing an application(s), to easily submit fees for multiple applications at once, and for fees to be submitted more conveniently by authorized parties other than the applicant. All fees must be received within 10 days of the receipt date of the associated application in ULS, or the application will be dismissed.

Customers may access Pay Fees from a link on the ULS homepage or the Electronic Batch Filer (EBF) page on the WTB website, effective May 27, 2003. Pay Fees allows individual applicants and batch filers to select from a list of applications recently submitted to the Commission through ULS Online Filing or Electronic Batch Filing. Payment can then be made for one or more of the applications via a fast, easy, and secure online credit card transaction. Credit card transactions are the most efficient method of submitting your payment to the Commission and require no additional paperwork. DO NOT submit a manual copy of Form 159 if you have submitted a credit card transaction.

Alternately, the Pay Fees utility allows you to create a pre-filled manual copy of Form 159 for submission with a check via the US mail, fax (when manually completing Schedule E only), or through hand delivery to the Commission . For specific mailing addresses and additional instructions, see the FCC ULS website regulatory fee information.
