Thank you for posting.

I guess the source of the fees is 89 FR 91062 (November 18, 2024) which 
you can see here 
<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/18/2024-26644/setting-and-adjusting-trademark-fees-during-fiscal-year-2025>. 
I read that FR notice carefully and did not see any particular 
explanation or discussion of that fee.  But yes it looks like there are 
now /*two*/ per-class fees for the filer that needs to pursue an appeal 
before the TTAB.
