  § 24.430   Opposition to applications.

   (a) Petitions to deny (including petitions for other forms of relief)
   and responsive pleadings for Commission consideration must comply with
   § 1.2108 of this chapter and must:

   (1) Identify the application or applications (including applicant's
   name, station location, Commission file numbers and radio service
   involved) with which it is concerned;

   (2) Be filed in accordance with the pleading limitations, filing
   periods, and other applicable provisions of § § 1.41 through 1.52 of this
   chapter except where otherwise provided in § 1.2108 of this chapter;

   (3) Contain specific allegations of fact which, except for facts of
   which official notice may be taken, shall be supported by affidavit of
   a person or persons with personal knowledge thereof, and which shall be
   sufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner (or respondent) is a
   party in interest and that a grant of, or other Commission action
   regarding, the application would be prima facie inconsistent with the
   public interest; and

   (4) Contain a certificate of service showing that it has been mailed to
   the applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the
   Commission.

   (b) A petition to deny a major amendment to a previously filed
   application may only raise matters directly related to the amendment
   which could not have been raised in connection with the underlying,
   previously filed application. This does not apply to petitioners who
   gain standing because of the major amendment.

   (c) Parties who file frivolous petitions to deny may be subject to
   sanctions including monetary forfeitures, license revocation, if they
   are FCC licensees, and may be prohibited from participating in future
   auctions.
