Sec. 1.84  Procedure with respect to commercial radio operator license 
          applications.

    (a) Upon acceptance of an application for a commercial radio 
operator license, filed in accordance with part 13 of this chapter, an 
examination, if required, is conducted. If the applicant is found 
qualified and eligible in all respects, the license will be issued. If 
additional information is necessary to determine an applicant's 
qualifications or eligibility, or if it appears that a grant of an 
application would not serve the public interest, the applicant will be 
notified in writing and given an opportunity to provide additional 
pertinent information in writing. If, from the information available, it 
appears that the applicant is not qualified or is ineligible, or that a 
grant of the application would not serve the public interest, the 
applicant will be advised thereof in writing and given an opportunity to 
request, within a specified period of time, that the application be set 
for hearing. If the applicant does not request, within the specified 
period, that the application be set for hearing, the application will be 
denied.
    (b)-(c) [Reserved]
    (d) Failure to prosecute an application, or failure to respond to 
official correspondence or request for additional information, will be 
cause for dismissal. Such dismissal will be without prejudice where an 
application has not yet been designated for hearing; such dismissal may 
be made with prejudice after an application has been designated for 
hearing.
