§ 1.927   Amendment of applications.

   (a) Pending applications may be amended as a matter of right if they have
   not been designated for hearing or listed in a public notice as accepted for
   filing for competitive bidding, except as provided in paragraphs (b) through
   (e) of this section.

   (b) Applicants for an initial license in auctionable services may amend such
   applications only in accordance with Subpart Q of this part.

   (c) Amendments to non-auction applications that are applied for under Part
   101 or that resolve mutual exclusivity may be filed at any time, subject to
   the requirements of § 1.945 of this part.

   (d) Any amendment to an application for modification must be consistent
   with, and must not conflict with, any other application for modification
   regarding that same station.

   (e) Amendments to applications designated for hearing may be allowed by the
   presiding officer or, when a proceeding is stayed or otherwise pending
   before the full Commission, may be allowed by the Commission for good cause
   shown. In such instances, a written petition demonstrating good cause must
   be submitted and served upon the parties of record.

   (f) Amendments to applications are also subject to the service-specific
   rules in applicable parts of this chapter.

   (g) Where an amendment to an application specifies a substantial change in
   beneficial ownership or control (de jure or de facto) of an applicant, the
   applicant must provide an exhibit with the amendment application containing
   an affirmative, factual showing as set forth in § 1.948(i)(2).

   (h) Where an amendment to an application constitutes a major change, as
   defined in § 1.929, the amendment shall be treated as a new application for
   determination of filing date, public notice, and petition to deny purposes.

   (i) If a petition to deny or other informal objection has been filed, a copy
   of any amendment (or other filing) must be served on the petitioner. If the
   FCC has issued a public notice stating that the application appears to be
   mutually exclusive with another application (or applications), a copy of any
   amendment (or other filing) must be served on any such mutually exclusive
   applicant (or applicants).
