Sec.  61.17   Method of filing applications for special permission.

   (a) An application for special permission filed electronically must be
   addressed to “Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC
   20554.” The Electronic Tariff Filing System will accept filings 24 hours a
   day, seven days a week. The official filing date of a publication received
   by the Electronic Tariff Filing System will be determined by the date and
   time the transmission ends. If the transmission ends after the close of a
   business day, as that term is defined in  Sec. 1.4(e)(2) of this chapter, the
   filing will be date and time stamped as of the opening of the next business
   day.

   (b)  In  addition,  except  for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees
   electronically, for special permission applications requiring fees as set
   forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, issuing carriers must submit the
   original of the application letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, and
   the appropriate fee to the Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, PA, at the address set
   forth in  Sec. 1.1105 of this chapter. Issuing carriers submitting tariffing fees
   electronically  should  submit a copy of the Form 159 and the original
   application letter to the Secretary of the Commission in lieu of the Mellon
   Bank. The Form 159 should display the Electronic Audit Code in the box in
   the upper left hand corner marked “reserved”. Issuing carriers should submit
   these fee materials on the same day as the transmission in paragraph (a) of
   this section.

   (c) In addition, if a carrier applies for special permission to revise joint
   tariffs,  the application must state that it is filed on behalf of all
   carriers  participating  in the affected service. Applications must be
   numbered consecutively in a series separate from FCC tariff numbers, bear
   the  signature  of  the officer or agent of the carrier, and be in the
   following format:
