§ 73.5005   Filing of long-form applications.

   (a) Within thirty (30) days following the close of bidding and
   notification to the winning bidders, unless a longer period is
   specified by public notice, each winning bidder must submit an
   appropriate long-form application (FCC Form 301, FCC Form 346, or FCC
   Form 349) for each construction permit or license for which it was the
   high bidder. Long-form applications filed by winning bidders shall
   include the exhibits required by § 1.2107(d) of this chapter
   (concerning any bidding consortia or joint bidding arrangements);
   § 1.2110(j) of this chapter (concerning designated entity status, if
   applicable); and § 1.2112 of this chapter (concerning disclosure of
   ownership and real party in interest information, and, if applicable,
   disclosure of gross revenue information for small business applicants).

   (b) The long-form application should be submitted pursuant to the rules
   governing the service in which the applicant is a high bidder and
   according to the procedures for filing such applications set out by
   public notice. When electronic procedures become available for the
   submission of long-form applications, the Commission may require all
   winning bidders to file their long-form applications electronically.

   (c) An applicant that fails to submit the required long-form
   application under this section, and fails to establish good cause for
   any late-filed submission, shall be deemed to have defaulted and shall
   be subject to the payments set forth in 47 CFR 1.2104(g).

   (d) An applicant whose short-form application, submitted pursuant to
   § 73.5002(b), was not mutually exclusive with any other short-form
   application in the same service, or whose short-form application was
   mutually exclusive only with one or more short-form applications for a
   noncommercial educational broadcast station, as described in 47 U.S.C.
   397(6), shall submit an appropriate long-form application within thirty
   (30) days following release of a public notice identifying any such
   non-mutually exclusive applicants. The long-form application should be
   submitted pursuant to the rules governing the relevant service and
   according to any procedures for filing such applications set out by
   public notice. The long-form application filed by a non-mutually
   exclusive applicant need not contain the additional exhibits,
   identified in paragraph (a) of this section, required to be submitted
   with the long-form applications filed by winning bidders. When
   electronic procedures become available, the Commission may require any
   non-mutually exclusive applicants to file their long-form applications
   electronically.
