Sec.  5.61   Procedure for obtaining a special temporary authorization.

   (a) The Commission may issue a special temporary authorization under this
   part in cases in which a need is shown for operation of a station for six
   months  or  less,  provided such operation is not in conflict with the
   Commission's rules in this part. In cases in which an applicant sets forth
   compelling reasons why a special temporary authorization must be granted
   expeditiously, preference will be given to processing the application.

   (b) Extensions of a special temporary authorization will be granted provided
   that an application for a regular experimental license has been filed at
   least 15 days prior to the expiration of the licensee's temporary authority.
   When  such  an application is timely filed, operations may continue in
   accordance with the other terms and conditions of the temporary authority
   pending disposition of the application, unless the applicant is notified
   otherwise by the Commission.

   (c)  An application for special temporary authorization shall be filed
   electronically through the Office of Engineering and Technology Web site
