Sec.  25.155   Mutually exclusive applications.

   (a) The Commission will consider applications to be mutually exclusive if
   their conflicts are such that the grant of one application would effectively
   preclude by reason of harmful electrical interference, or other practical
   reason, the grant of one or more other applications.

   (b)  An application for an NGSO-like space station license, within the
   meaning of  Sec. 25.157, will be entitled to comparative consideration with one
   or more conflicting applications only if:

   (1) The application is mutually exclusive with another NGSO-like space
   station application; and

   (2) The application is received by the Commission in a condition acceptable
   for filing by the “cut-off” date specified in a public notice.

   (c) An application for a GSO-like space station license, within the meaning
   of  Sec. 25.158, will be entitled to comparative consideration with one or more
   conflicting applications only if:

   (1)  The application is mutually exclusive with another GSO-like space
   station application; and

   (2) The application is received by the Commission in a condition acceptable
   for  filing  at the same millisecond as another GSO-like space station
   application with which it is mutually exclusive.
