Sec.  24.430   Opposition to applications.

   (a) Petitions to deny (including petitions for other forms of relief) and
   responsive pleadings for Commission consideration must comply with  Sec. 1.2108
   of this chapter and must:

   (1) Identify the application or applications (including applicant's name,
   station location, Commission file numbers and radio service involved) with
   which it is concerned;

   (2) Be filed in accordance with the pleading limitations, filing periods,
   and other applicable provisions of  Sec.  Sec. 1.41 through 1.52 of this chapter
   except where otherwise provided in  Sec. 1.2108 of this chapter;

   (3) Contain specific allegations of fact which, except for facts of which
   official notice may be taken, shall be supported by affidavit of a person or
   persons with personal knowledge thereof, and which shall be sufficient to
   demonstrate that the petitioner (or respondent) is a party in interest and
   that a grant of, or other Commission action regarding, the application would
   be prima facie inconsistent with the public interest; and

   (4) Contain a certificate of service showing that it has been mailed to the
   applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the Commission.

   (b) A petition to deny a major amendment to a previously filed application
   may only raise matters directly related to the amendment which could not
   have been raised in connection with the underlying, previously filed
   application. This does not apply to petitioners who gain standing because of
   the major amendment.

   (c) Parties who file frivolous petitions to deny may be subject to sanctions
   including monetary forfeitures, license revocation, if they are FCC
   licensees, and may be prohibited from participating in future auctions.
