§ 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.
