Sec. 90.611  Processing of applications.

    Applications for facilities to operate on the frequencies governed 
by this subpart will be processed as follows:
    (a) All applications will first be considered to determine whether 
they are substantially complete and acceptable for filing. If so, except 
as otherwise specifically provided for in this subpart, they will be 
assigned a file number and put in pending status. If not, they will be 
returned to the applicant.
    (b) All applications in pending status will be processed in the 
order in which they are received, determined by the date on which the 
application was received by the Commission in its Gettysburg, PA office, 
or the address set forth at Sec. 0.401(b) for applications requiring the 
fees established in part 1, subpart G of this chapter.
    (c) Each application will be reviewed to determine whether it can be 
granted. Applicants must specify the intended frequency (or frequencies) 
of operation.
    (d) [Reserved]
    (e) An application which is dismissed will lose its place in the 
processing line.
    (f) If an application is returned for correction and resubmitted and 
received by the Commission within 30 days from the date on which it was 
returned to the applicant, it will retain its place in the processing 
line. If it is not received within 30 days it will lose its place in the 
processing line.
