Sec. 73.3519  Repetitious applications.

    (a) Where the FCC has denied an application for a new station or for 
any modification of services or facilities, or dismissed such 
application with prejudice, no like application involving service of the 
same kind for substantially the same area by substantially the same 
applicant, or his successor or assignee, or on behalf or for the benefit 
of the original parties in interest, may be filed within 12 months from 
the effective date of the FCC's action. However, applicants whose 
applications have been denied in a comparative hearing may apply 
immediately for another available facility.
    (b) Where an appeal has been taken from the action of the FCC in 
denying a particular application, another application for the same class 
of broadcast station and for the same area, in whole or in part, filed 
by the same applicant, or his successor or assignee, or on behalf of, or 
for the benefit of the original parties in interest, will not be 
considered until final disposition of such appeal.
