Sec. 63.52  Copies required; fees; and filing periods for domestic 
          authorizations.

    (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished 
with an original and 5 copies of applications filed under section 214 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; Provided, however, that 
where applications involve only the supplementation of existing domestic 
facilities, and the issuance of a certificate is not required, an 
original and 2 copies of the application shall be furnished. Upon 
request by the Commission additional copies of the application shall be 
furnished. Each application shall be accompanied by the fee prescribed 
in subpart G of part 1 of this chapter.

[[Page 160]]

63.02, 64.62 (with the exception of 63.62(c)), 63.69, or 63.505 of the 
rules shall be granted by the Commission earlier than 30 days following 
issuance of public notice by the Commission of the acceptance for filing 
of such application or any major amendment unless said public notice 
specifies another time period.
    (c) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application 
within the 30-day or other time period specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section. The petitioner shall serve a copy of such petition on the 
applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the Commission. 
The petition shall contain specific allegations of fact sufficient to 
show that the petitioner is a party in interest and that a grant of the 
application would be prima facie inconsistent with the public interest, 
convenience and necessity. Such allegations of fact shall, except for 
those of which official notice may be taken, be supported by affidavit 
of a person or persons with personal knowledge thereof. The applicant 
may file an opposition to any petition to deny, and the petitioners may 
file a reply to such opposition (see Sec. 1.45 of this chapter), and 
allegations of facts or denials thereof shall similarly be supported by 
affidavit. These responsive pleadings shall be served on the applicant 
or petitioners, as appropriate, and other parties to the proceeding.
