FCC Sets September 24, 2015 Deadline for 2015 Regulatory Fees

Full payment of the 2015 regulatory fees must be received by the FCC no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 24, 2015. Late payment of regulatory fees will trigger a 25% penalty and "red light" status, which restricts the FCC's processing of a late payer's applications until payment of the regulatory fee and penalty occurs.

Please note, the FCC's filing systems are currently down through September 8th for maintenance.
