individual fees shall not be adjusted until the increase or
decrease, as determined by the net change in the Consumer Price

fees under $100.00, or 5 percent in the case of fees of $100.00 or
more. All fees which require adjustment will be rounded upward to
the next $5.00 increment. The Commission shall transmit to the
Congress notification of any such adjustment not later than 90 days
before the effective date of such adjustment.
(2) Increases or decreases in application fees made pursuant to
this subsection shall not be subject to judicial review.

section. Such penalty shall be 25 percent of the amount of the
application fee which was not paid in a timely manner.
(2) The Commission may dismiss any application or other filing
for failure to pay in a timely manner any application fee or
penalty under this section.
(d) Inapplicability of application fees to certain radio services;
waiver or deferment of payment
(1) The application fees established under this section shall not
be applicable (A) to governmental entities and nonprofit entities
licensed in the following radio services: Local Government, Police,
Fire, Highway Maintenance, Forestry-Conservation, Public Safety,
and Special Emergency Radio, or (B) to governmental entities
licensed in other services.
(2) The Commission may waive or defer payment of an charge (!1)
in any specific instance for good cause shown, where such action
would promote the public interest.
(e) Deposit of moneys in general fund; reimbursement of United
