Sec.  61.153  Method of filing applications.

    (a) An application for special permission must be addressed to 
``Secretary, Federal Communication Commission, Washington, DC 20554.'' 
The date on which the application is received by the Secretary of the 
Commission (or the Mail Room where submitted by mail) is considered the 
official filing date.
    (b) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees 
electronically, for all special permission applications requiring fees 
as set forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, the issuing carrier 
must submit the original of the application letter (without 
attachments), FCC Form 159, and the appropriate fee to the Mellon Bank, 
Pittsburgh, PA at the address set forth in Sec.  1.1105 of this chapter. 
Issuing carriers submitting tariffing fees electronically should submit 
the Form 159 and the original cover letter to the Secretary of the 
Commission in lieu of the Mellon Bank. The Form 159 should display the 
Electronic Audit Code in the box in the upper left hand corner marked 
``reserved.'' Issuing carriers should submit these fee materials on the 
same date as the submission in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and 
(b) of this section, the issuing carrier must send a copy of the 
application letter with all attachments to the Secretary, Federal 
Communications Commission and a separate copy with all attachments to 
the Chief, Pricing Policy Division. If a carrier applies for special 
permission to revise joint tariffs, the application must state that it 
is filed on behalf of all carriers participating in the affected 
service. Applications must be numbered consecutively in a series 
separate from FCC tariff numbers, bear the signature of the officer or 
agent of the carrier, and be in the following format:
