Sec.  5.65   Defective applications.

   (a) Applications that are defective with respect to completeness of answers
   to  required  questions, execution or other matters of a purely formal
   character may not be received for filing by the Commission, and may be
   returned to the applicant with a brief statement as to the omissions.

   (b) If an applicant is requested by the Commission to file any documents or
   information not included in the prescribed application form, a failure to
   comply with such request will constitute a defect in the application.

   (c) Applications that are not in accordance with the Commission's rules,
   regulations, or other requirements will be considered defective unless
   accompanied either by:

   (1) a petition to amend any rule, regulation, or requirement with which the
   application is in conflict; or

   (2) a request of the applicant for waiver of, or an exception to, any rule,
   regulation, or requirement with which the application is in conflict. Such
   request shall show the nature of the waiver or exception desired and set
   forth the reasons in support thereof.
