§  1.746   Defective applications.

   (a) Applications not in accordance with the applicable rules in this
   chapter may be deemed defective and returned by the Commission without
   acceptance of such applications for filing and consideration. Such
   applications will be accepted for filing and consideration if
   accompanied by petition showing good cause for waiver of the rule with
   which the application does not conform.

   (b) The assignment of a file number, if any, to an application is for
   the administrative convenience of the Commission and does not indicate
   the acceptance of the application for filing and consideration.
