Sec. 25.163  Reinstatement.

    (a) A station authorization terminated in whole or in part under the 
provisions of Sec. 25.161 may be reinstated if the Commission, in its 
discretion, determines that reinstatement would best serve the public 
interest, convenience and necessity. Petitions for reinstatement will be 
considered only if:
    (1) The petition is filed within 30 days after the expiration date 
set forth in Sec. 25.161(a) or Sec. 25.161(b), whichever is applicable;
    (2) The petition explains the failure to file a timely notification 
or renewal application; and
    (3) The petition sets forth with specificity the procedures which 
have been established to insure timely filings in the future.
    (b) A special temporary authorization shall automatically terminate 
upon the expiration date specified therein, or upon failure of the 
grantee to comply with any special terms or conditions set forth in the 
authorization. Temporary operation may be extended beyond the 
termination date only upon application to the Commission.
