§  63.52   Copies required; fees; and filing periods for domestic
authorizations.

   (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished with
   an original and 5 copies of applications filed under section 214 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended; Provided, however, that where
   applications involve only the supplementation of existing domestic
   facilities, and the issuance of a certificate is not required, an
   original and 2 copies of the application shall be furnished. Upon
   request by the Commission additional copies of the application shall be
   furnished. Each application shall be accompanied by the fee prescribed
   in subpart G of part 1 of this chapter.

   (b) No application accepted for filing and subject to part 63 of these
   rules, unless provided for otherwise, shall be granted by the
   Commission earlier than 30 days following issuance of public notice by
   the Commission of the acceptance for filing of such application or any
   major amendment unless said public notice specifies another time
   period.

   (c) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application
   within the 30-day or other time period specified in paragraph (b) of
   this section. The petitioner shall serve a copy of such petition on the
   applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the Commission.
   The petition shall contain specific allegations of fact sufficient to
   show that the petitioner is a party in interest and that a grant of the
   application would be prima facie inconsistent with the public interest,
   convenience and necessity. Such allegations of fact shall, except for
   those of which official notice may be taken, be supported by affidavit
   of a person or persons with personal knowledge thereof. The applicant
   may file an opposition to any petition to deny, and the petitioners may
   file a reply to such opposition (see §  1.45 of this chapter), and
   allegations of facts or denials thereof shall similarly be supported by
   affidavit. These responsive pleadings shall be served on the applicant
   or petitioners, as appropriate, and other parties to the proceeding.
