Payments can be made through Pay.Gov both

issued as provided in § 250.125 (c) which states:
Verbal approvals are occasionally
given in special circumstances. Any action that will be considered a
verbal permit approval requires either a paper permit application to
follow the verbal approval or an electronic application submittal within
72 hours. Payment must be made with the completed paper or electronic
application.
