FCC 1.10014 Revised as of October 1, 2006
Goto Year:2005 |
2007
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.

(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.
