Beginning this year, the FCC no longer accepts fee exemption claims at this website.  

If you received a Regulatory Fee Notification and are fee-exempt, you are required to furnish to the FCC a copy of the documentation that proves your fee-exempt status.  Acceptable documentation may include a copy of your IRS determination letter showing your IRS section 501(c) tax exemption status, or state or government certifications, or proof of your station’s noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast status at the FCC.  To claim your fee exemption:

You may e-mail your documentation to the FCC at ARINQUIRIES@fcc.gov, or

You may fax your documentation to the FCC at (202) 418-7869, or

You may mail your documentation to:     
FCC, Office of the Managing Director
445 12th Street, S.W., Room 1-A625
Washington, DC, 20554
