    (1) Identify the application or applications (including applicant's 

name, station location, Commission file numbers, and radio service

applicable provisions of part 1, subpart Y of this chapter;

    (4) Contain specific allegations of fact (except for those of which 

official notice may be taken) to support the specific relief requested, 

which shall be supported by affidavit of a person or persons with 

personal knowledge thereof, and which shall be sufficient to demonstrate 

that the petitioner (or respondent) is a party of interest and that a 

grant of, or other Commission action regarding, the application would be 

prima facie inconsistent with the public interest; and

objections do not conform to either paragraph (a) of this section or to 

other Commission rules and requirements.

comments and informal objections regarding an application may be filed 

within 10 days after the petition, comment, or objection is filed and 

must be in accordance with other applicable provisions of Sec. Sec. 

1.41 through 1.52 of this chapter, except that such oppositions must be 

filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS) in accordance with the applicable provisions of part 1, subpart Y 

of this chapter.

1.41 through 1.52 of this chapter, except that such reply comments must 

be filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS) in accordance with the applicable provisions of part 1, subpart Y
