   any broadcast station shall be deemed to designate the Secretary of the
   Commission as its agent for service of process.

   (b) Specific. (1) A television broadcast station shall serve a satellite
   carrier  with a complaint concerning an alleged violation of 47 U.S.C.
   325(b)(1) by filing the original and two copies of the complaint on the
   Secretary of the Commission and serving a copy of the complaint by means of
   two commonly used overnight delivery services, each addressed to the chief
   executive  officer  of the satellite carrier at its principal place of
   business and each marked “URGENT LITIGATION MATTER” on the outer packaging.
   Service  shall be deemed complete one business day after a copy of the
   complaint is provided to the delivery services for overnight delivery. On
   receipt of a complaint filed by a television broadcast station under this
   subsection,  the  Secretary  of the Commission shall send the original

   the Commission, no later than April 15, 2000. Satellite carriers shall
   update this information, as necessary, in the event that the identity or the
   address of their respective chief executive officers changes. These updates
   shall be made by United States mail within seven (7) days of such changes.
   Complaints sent to the last known address shall be deemed served if the
   satellite  carrier  fails to notify the Secretary of the Commission in
   accordance with this provision.
