                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
        CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
Sec.  63.52  Copies required; fees; and filing periods for domestic 
authorizations.

    (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished 
with an original and 5 copies of applications filed under section 214 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; Provided, however, that 
where applications involve only the supplementation of existing domestic 
facilities, and the issuance of a certificate is not required, an 
original and 2 copies of the application shall be furnished. 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 part 63 of 
these rules, unless provided for otherwise, shall be granted by the 
Commission earlier than 30 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.
    (c) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application 
within the 30-day or other time period specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section. 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, and the

petitioners may file a reply to such opposition (see Sec.  1.45 of this 
chapter), and allegations of facts or denials thereof shall similarly be 
supported by affidavit. These responsive pleadings shall be served on 
the applicant or petitioners, as appropriate, and other parties to the 
proceeding.
