Sec. 23.29  License period and expiration time.



    (a) Licenses for stations operating in the fixed public 

radiocommunications services will be issued for a period of 10 years 

unless otherwise stated in the instrument of authorization. The date of 

expiration of such licenses shall be the 1st day of December, and each 

station license will be issued so as to expire at the hour 3 a.m., 

eastern standard time. Unless otherwise ordered, when an application for 

a new station license is granted within three months of the expiration 

date for licenses of the particular class of station involved, the 

license shall be issued for the unexpired period of the current license 

term and for the full succeeding term. If granted more than three months 

from the normal expiration date, the license shall be issued for the 

unexpired period of the current license term only.

    (b) The Commission reserves the right to grant or renew station 

licenses in these services for a shorter period of time than that 

generally prescribed for such stations if, in its judgment, the public 

interest, convenience or necessity would be served by such action.
