"Have to pay an annual fee to the FCC?" After the news was released, it caused extensive discussion among manufacturers, and the editor also received a lot of inquiries about the annual fee.

A2: By stating “that need to pay” implies certain people/companies that already have a year fee and what they need to do. It is not discussing any sort of new fees. For those that DO have fees, the documents explain how to pay.  However, there is not a fee associated simply with having and FRN itself.

Q5: Since there is no new fee, we don't need to pay the annual fee, so we don't need to manage the FRN fee in the FCC account, so do we still need to register FCC username account and associate username to an existing FRN?

A5: It is recommended to register an FCC username account as soon as possible, and then associate username to an existing FRN. If you do not perform this related operation, in addition to being unable to manage their FRN (s) in the future, it may also affect the application for FCC ID, because when uploading the submission information to the FCC official website, the FRN is required. If the FRN cannot be read in the FCC system, the certificate cannot be issued.
