Introduction1.1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this Cost Recovery Impact Statement (CRIS) is to demonstrate compliance of the Annual Carrier Licence Charge (ACLC) with the Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines 2005 (the Guidelines). It also provides a summary of the cost recovery model used by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) and other participating organisations. The ACLC amounts payable by carrier licensees for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 are outlined in Attachment A. 2.1.2 Background and description of activityThe ACMA is a statutory authority within the Commonwealth Government Portfolio of Communications. It is responsible for administering the telecommunications regulatory regime which is established through the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005, the Telecommunications Act 1997 and the Telecommunications Universal Service Management Agency Act 2012 (TUSMA Act). The purpose of the ACLC is to fund activities of the ACMA, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) and the Department of Communications (DoC) in regulating telecommunications services provided by the licensed carriers. The costs of the ACMA’s other regulatory activities, such as those related to radiocommunications, internet content and broadcasting services, are not included in the ACLC. Further information about the full range of the ACMA’s telecommunications activities can be found at www.acma.gov.au. The ACLC for the 2013–14 financial year is allocated to licensed telecommunications carriers based on their eligible revenue within the meaning of the TUSMA Act for the 2012–13 financial year, as assessed by the ACMA. Carriers that were ‘non-participating persons’ within the meaning of the Telecommunications (Participating Persons) Determination 2013 (No. 2) for the eligible revenue period that began on 1 July 2012 and ended 30 June 2013 are, in effect, exempted from paying the ACLC. Generally, non-participating persons are carriers with initial sales revenue, gross telecommunications sales revenue or eligible revenue of less than $25 million who lodge the required statutory declaration with the ACMA within the specified time frame1 for the eligible revenue period (that is, the smaller carriers). Any carrier, who holds a licence on 1 July 2013 and is not a non-participating person, is required to pay the ACLC for the 2013–14 financial year, irrespective of whether they have surrendered or cancelled their licence subsequent to this date, and will be held liable for payment of the charge when it becomes due.
