ADVICE REFERENCE GUIDE

HOW TO USE FCC FORM 159-REMITTANCE ADVICE

FEBRUARY 2018

The FCC Form 159, "Remittance Advice,” and FCC Form 159-C, (Continuation Sheet) is a multi-purpose form that must accompany any non-electronic payment to the Federal Communications Commission (e.g., Regulatory Fees, Processing Fees, Auctions, Fines, Forfeitures, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Billings, or any other debt due to the FCC). For electronic payments and fund transfers, users must utilize the on-line form accessible through the on-line payment portal. The information on this form is collected to ensure credit for full payment, to ensure you receive any refunds due, to service public inquiries, and to comply with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996.

The following examples provide instructions on how multiple actions should be filed when using FCC Forms 159 & 159-C:

1. If a single service allows for a quantity of more than one of the same action, as defined in the appropriate FCC Fee Filing Guide or Public Notice, complete Section C (e.g., if you are filing an ownership report in the mass media services you may pay for both your AM & FM stations using the same payment type code and a quantity of two as long as it can be filed in the same lockbox). Blocks 28 & 29 are only to be completed when required by the Bureau/Office or by Public Notice.

2. If you are filing concurrent actions (not the same actions) in the same lockbox, on the same application, refer to the appropriate FCC Fee Filing Guide or Public Notice for specific instructions as to the number of quantities allowed. Complete Section C (e.g., you may file a regulatory fee for a CARS license and Broadcast Auxiliary license or you may file a regulatory fee for a mass media service and a common carrier service on the same FCC Form 159 by using the designated payment type codes, and quantities as defined by the Public Notice). Complete a separate item for each action required. Blocks 28 & 29 are only to be completed when required by the Bureau/Office or by Public Notice.

3. If a single Remittance Advice is used to pay for more than one applicant, licensee, regulatee or debtor, for permitted action(s) in the same lockbox, then a Continuation Sheet (159-C) must be completed for each applicant, licensee, regulatee or debtor (e.g., if you are paying for different applicants submitting separate Domestic 214 Applications in the common carrier services, they can all be filed on one FCC Form 159 as long as they are filed in the same lockbox). A separate FCC Form 159 must be completed and submitted for each applicant. Blocks 28 & 29 are only to be completed when required by the Bureau/Office or by Public Notice.

Remember, if any of these additional applications fall into category (i) or (ii) above, you can follow those instructions. Make sure to check the appropriate FCC Fee Filing Guide or Public Notice for any special filing stipulations that may apply.

NOTICE TO INDIVIDUALS REQUIRED BY THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 AND THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995

The solicitation of the personal information requested in this form is authorized by the Communications Act,

Sections 8 & 9, and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. P.L. 104-134. This form will be used primarily to capture information to maintain required accounts receivable, and collect fines and debts due the Commission.

As part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act, agencies are authorized to refer specific Taxpayers

Identification information which includes Employers Identification Numbers and Social Security Numbers to the Department of Treasury for further investigation and possible enforcement of a statute, rule, regulation or order. If we believe there may be a violation or potential violation of a FCC statute, regulation, rule or order, your application may be referred to the Federal, state, or local agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order. In certain cases, the information in your application may be disclosed to the Department of Justice or a court or adjudicative body when (a) the

FCC; or (b) any employee of the FCC; or (c) the United States Government, is a party to a proceeding before the body or has an interest in the proceeding. If information requested on the form is not provided, processing of the application/filing may be delayed or returned without action pursuant to Commission rules.

If you owe a past due debt to the Federal Government, the Taxpayer Identification Number (such as your Social

Security Number) and other information you provide may also be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, other federal agencies and/or your employer to offset your salary, IRS tax refund or other payments to collect that debt. The FCC may also provide this information to these agencies through the matching of computer records when authorized.

We have estimated that each response to this collection of information will take 10 minutes to 4 hours. Our estimate includes the time to read the instructions, look through existing records, gather and maintain required data, and actually review and complete the form. If you have any comments on this estimate, or on how we can improve the collection of this data to reduce the burden it causes you, please write the Federal Communication Commission, AMD-PERM, Washington, DC 20554, Paperwork Reduction Project (3060-0589). We will also accept your comments via the Internet if you send them to [email protected]. Please DO NOT SEND COMPLETED APPLICATION FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS.

Remember -- You are not required to respond to a collection of information sponsored by the Federal government, and the government may not conduct or sponsor this collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number or if we fail to provide you with this notice. This collection has been assigned an OMB control number of

3060-0589.

This notice is required by the Privacy Act of 1974, Public Law 93-579, December 31, 1974, 5 U.S.C. Section 552a(e) (3) and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507.
