  § 25.156   Consideration of applications.

   (a) Applications for a radio station authorization, or for modification
   or renewal of an authorization, will be granted if, upon examination of
   the application, any pleadings or objections filed, and upon
   consideration of such other matters as it may officially notice, the
   Commission finds that the applicant is legally, technically, and
   otherwise qualified, that the proposed facilities and operations comply
   with all applicable rules, regulations, and policies, and that grant of
   the application will serve the public interest, convenience and
   necessity.

   (b) [Reserved]

   (c) Reconsideration or review of any final action taken by the
   Commission will be in accordance with subpart A of part 1 of this
   chapter.

   appropriate.

   (4) Applications for feeder-link authority or inter-satellite link
