SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
According to an Order published in the Federal Register at 74 FR 5107, January 29, 2009, the application fees charged to licensees and permittees by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will increase effective April 28, 2009 to reflect the change in the Consumer Price IndexUrban (CPIU). Section 8(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, requires costofliving adjustments to the application fee schedule every two years after October 1, 1991.

The new Schedule of Application Fees reflects the net change in the CPIU of 4.9 percent, calculated from October 2005 through October 2007 in accordance with previously Sec. 1.1115 (currently Sec. 1.1117) of part 1 of the Commission's rules.
