§  73.3519   Repetitious applications.

   (a) Where the FCC has denied an application for a new station or for
   any modification of services or facilities, or dismissed such
   application with prejudice, no like application involving service of
   the same kind for substantially the same area by substantially the same
   applicant, or his successor or assignee, or on behalf or for the
   benefit of the original parties in interest, may be filed within 12
   months from the effective date of the FCC's action. However, applicants
   whose applications have been denied in a comparative hearing may apply
   immediately for another available facility.

   (b) Where an appeal has been taken from the action of the FCC in
   denying a particular application, another application for the same
   class of broadcast station and for the same area, in whole or in part,
   filed by the same applicant, or his successor or assignee, or on behalf
   of, or for the benefit of the original parties in interest, will not be
   considered until final disposition of such appeal.
