                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
        CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
Sec.  63.20  Copies required; fees; and filing periods for international 
service providers.

    (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished 
with an original and five copies of applications filed for international 
facilities and services under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended. Upon request by the Commission, additional copies of 
the application shall be furnished. Each application shall be 
accompanied by the fee prescribed in subpart G of part 1 of this 
chapter.
    (b) No application accepted for filing and subject to the provisions 
of Sec. Sec.  63.18, 63.62 or 63.505 of this part shall be granted by 
the Commission earlier than 28 days following issuance of public notice 
by the Commission of the acceptance for filing of such application or 
any major amendment unless said public notice specifies another time 
period, or the application qualifies for streamlined processing pursuant 
to Sec.  63.12 of this part.
    (c) No application accepted for filing and subject to the 
streamlined processing provisions of Sec.  63.12 of this part shall be 
granted by the Commission earlier than 14 days following issuance of 
public notice by the Commission of the acceptance for filing of such 
application or any major amendment unless said public notice specifies 
another time period.
    (d) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application 
within the time period specified in the public notice listing an 
application as accepted for filing and ineligible for streamlined 
processing. The petitioner shall serve a copy of such petition on the 
applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the Commission. 
The petition shall contain specific allegations of fact sufficient to 
show that the petitioner is a party in interest and that a grant of the 
application would be prima facie inconsistent with the public interest, 
convenience and necessity. Such allegations of fact shall, except for 
those of which official notice may be taken, be supported by affidavit 
of a person or persons with personal knowledge thereof. The applicant 
may file an opposition to any petition to deny within 14 days after the 
original pleading is filed. The petitioner may file a reply to such 
opposition within seven days after the time for filing oppositions has 
expired. Allegations of facts or denials thereof shall similarly be 
supported by affidavit. These responsive pleadings shall be served on 
the applicant or petitioner, as appropriate, and other parties to the 
proceeding.
