Table 4Sources of Payment Unit Estimates for FY 2021
In order to calculate individual service fees for FY 2021, we adjusted FY
2020 payment units for each service to more accurately reflect expected FY
2021 payment liabilities. We obtained our updated estimates through a variety of means and sources. For example, we used Commission licensee data bases, actual prior year payment records and industry and trade association projections, when available. The databases we consulted include our Universal Licensing System ULS, International Bureau Filing System IBFS, Consolidated Database System CDBS, Licensing and Management System LMS and Cable Operations and Licensing System COALS, as well as
reports generated within the Commission such as the Wireless Telecommunications Bureaus Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast. Regulatory fee payment units are not all the same for all fee categories.
For most fee categories, the term units reflect licenses or permits that have been issued, but for other fee categories, the term units reflect quantities such as subscribers, population counts, circuit counts, telephone numbers, and revenues.
We sought verification for these estimates from multiple sources and, in all cases, we compared FY 2021
estimates with actual FY 2020 payment units to ensure that our revised estimates were reasonable. Where appropriate, we adjusted and/or

rounded our final estimates to take into consideration the fact that certain variables that impact on the number of payment units cannot yet be estimated with sufficient accuracy. These include an unknown number of waivers and/or exemptions that may occur in FY 2021
and the fact that, in many services, the number of actual licensees or station operators fluctuates from time to time due to economic, technical, or other reasons. When we note, for example, that our estimated FY 2021 payment units are based on FY 2020 actual payment units, it does not necessarily mean that our FY 2021 projection is exactly the same number as in FY 2020.
We have either rounded the FY 2020
number or adjusted it slightly to account for these variables.
