FCC to Assess New Annual Regulatory Fee on Toll Free Numbers

The FCC will soon will assess a new annual regulatory fee on toll free numbers. RespOrgs (Responsible Organizations / Carriers) will make payments directly to the FCC upon receipt of the FCC's invoice. The FCC will calculate the invoiced annual regulatory fee based on toll free numbers in service as of December 2014. The FCC will most likely assess this annual regulatory fee as early as September 2015. 

For your planning purposes, please remember that the FCC's annual regulatory fee will apply again next year. It is likely all toll free numbers as of December 2015 will be invoiced in September 2016.
