Sec. 73.3578  Amendments to applications for renewal, assignment or 
          transfer of control.

    (a) Any amendments to an application for renewal of any instrument 
of authorization shall be considered to be a minor amendment. However, 
the FCC may, within 15 days after tender for filing of any amendment, 
advise the applicant that the amendment is considered to be a major 
amendment and therefore is subject to the provisions of Sec. 73.3580.
    (b) Any amendment to an application for assignment of construction 
permit or license, or consent to the transfer of control of a 
corporation holding such a construction permit or license, shall be 
considered to be a minor amendment, except that any amendment which 
seeks a change in the ownership interest of the proposed assignee or 
transferee which would result in a change in control, or any amendment 
which would require the filing of FCC Forms 314, 315, or 345 (see 
Sec. 73.3540), if the changes sought were made in an original 
application for assignment or transfer of control, shall be considered 
to be a major amendment. However, the FCC may, within 15 days after the 
acceptance for filing of any other amendment, advise the applicant that 
the amendment is considered to be a major amendment and therefore is 
subject to the provisions of Sec. 73.3580.
