Sec. 21.22  Repetitious applications.

    (a) Where an applicant has been afforded an opportunity for a 
hearing with respect to a particular application for a new station, or 
for an extension or enlargement of a service or facilities, and the 
Commission has, after hearing or default, denied the application or 
dismissed it with prejudice, the Commission will not consider a like 
application involving service of the same kind to the same area by the 
same applicant, or by the applicant's successor or assignee, or on 
behalf of or for the benefit of the original parties in interest, until 
after the lapse of 12 months from the effective date of the Commission's 
order. The Commission may, for good cause shown, waive the requirements 
of this section.
    (b) Where an appeal has been taken from the action of the Commission 
denying a particular application, another application for the same class 
of station and for the same area, in whole or in part, filed by the same 
applicant or by the applicant's successor or assignee, or on behalf or 
for the benefit of the original parties in interest, will not be 
considered until the final disposition of such appeal.
