Sec. 1.1117  Petitions and applications for review.

    (a) The fees established by this subpart may be waived or deferred 
in specific instances where good cause is shown and where waiver or 
deferral of the fee would promote the public interest.
    (b) Requests for waivers or deferrals will only be considered when 
received from applicants acting in respect to their own applications. 
Requests for waivers or deferrals of entire classes of services will not 
be considered.
    (c) Petitions for waivers, deferrals, fee determinations, 
reconsideration and applications for review will be acted upon by the 
Managing Director. Petitions and applications for review submitted with 
a fee must be submitted to the Commission's lockbox bank at the address 
for the appropriate service set forth in Secs. 1.1102 through 1.1105. If 
no fee payment is required, and the matter is within the scope of the 
fee rules in this subpart, the petition or application for review should 
be filed with the Commission's Secretary and clearly marked to the 
attention of the Managing Director. Requests for deferral of a fee 
payment for financial hardship must be accompanied by supporting 
documentation.
    (d) Deferrals of fees will be granted for an established period of 
time not to exceed six months.

returned if a waiver is granted. The Commission will not be responsible 
for delays in acting upon these requests.
