Sec.  1.10014   What happens after officially filing my application?

   (a) We give you an IBFS file number.

   (b) We electronically route your application to an analyst who conducts an
   initial review of your application. If your application is incomplete, we
   will either dismiss the application, or contact you by telephone, letter or
   email to ask for additional information within a specific time. In cases
   where we ask for additional information, if we do not receive it within the
   specified time, we will dismiss your application. In either case, we will
   dismiss your application without prejudice, so that you may file again with
   a complete application.

   (c) If your application is complete, and we verify receipt of your payment,
   it will appear on an “Accepted for Filing” Public Notice, unless public
   notice is not required. An “Accepted for Filing” Public Notice gives the
   public a certain amount of time to comment on your filing. This period
   varies depending upon the type of application.

   (1) Certain applications do not have to go on an “Accepted for Filing”
   Public Notice prior to initiation of service, but instead are filed as
   notifications to the Commission of prior actions by the carriers as
   authorized by the rules. Examples include pro forma notifications of
   transfer of control and assignment and certain foreign carrier
   notifications.

   (2) Each “Accepted for Filing” Public Notice has a report number. Examples
   of various types of applications and their corresponding report number (the
   “x” represents a sequential number) follow.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Type of application                       Report No.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

   (d) After the Public Notice, your application may undergo legal, technical
   and/or financial review as deemed necessary. In addition, some applications
   require coordination with other government agencies.

   (e) After review, we decide whether to grant or deny applications or whether
   to take other necessary action. Grants, denials and any other necessary
   actions are noted in the IBFS database. Some filings may not require any
   affirmative action, such as some Foreign Carrier Affiliation Notification
   Filings. Other filings, such as some International Section 214 Applications,
   International Accounting Rate Change Filings and Requests for assignment of
   Data Network Identification Codes, may be granted automatically on a
   specific date unless the applicant is notified otherwise prior to that date,
   as specified in the rules.

   (f) We list most actions taken on public notices. Each “Action Taken” Public
   Notice has a report number. Examples of various types of applications and
   their corresponding report number (the “x” represents a sequential number)
   follow.

   (g) Other actions are taken by formal written Order, oral actions that are
   followed up with a written document, or grant stamp of the application. In
   all cases, the action dates are available online through the IBFS system.

   (h) Issuing and Mailing Licenses for Granted Applications. Not all
   applications handled through IBFS and granted by the Commission result in
   the issuance of a paper license or authorization. A list of application
   types and their corresponding authorizations follows.
