§ 25.116 Amendments to applications.
(a) Unless otherwise specified, any pending application may be amended until
designated for hearing, a public notice is issued stating that a substantive
disposition of the application is to be considered at a forthcoming
Commission meeting, or a final order disposing of the matter is adopted by
the Commission.
(b) Major amendments submitted pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section are
subject to the public notice requirements of § 25.151. An amendment will be
deemed to be a major amendment under the following circumstances:
(1) If the amendment increases the potential for interference, or changes
the proposed frequencies or orbital locations to be used.
(2) If the amendment would convert the proposal into an action that may have
a significant environmental effect under § 1.1307 of this chapter.
(3) [Reserved]
(4) If the amendment, or the cumulative effect of the amendment, is
determined by the Commission otherwise to be substantial pursuant to section
309 of the Communications Act.
(5) Amendments to “defective” space station applications, within the meaning
of § 25.112 will not be considered.
(c) Any application for an NGSO-like satellite license within the meaning of
§ 25.157 will be considered to be a newly filed application if it is amended
by a major amendment (as defined by paragraph (b) of this section) after a
“cut-off” date applicable to the application, except under the following
circumstances:
(1) The amendment resolves frequency conflicts with authorized stations or
other pending applications but does not create new or increased frequency
conflicts;
(2) The amendment reflects only a change in ownership or control found by
the Commission to be in the public interest and, for which a requested
exemption from a “cut-off” date is granted;
(3) The amendment corrects typographical, transcription, or similar clerical
errors which are clearly demonstrated to be mistakes by reference to other
parts of the application, and whose discovery does not create new or
increased frequency conflicts; or
(4) The amendment does not create new or increased frequency conflicts, and
is demonstrably necessitated by events which the applicant could not have
reasonably foreseen at the time of filing.
(d) Any application for a GSO-like satellite license within the meaning of
§ 25.158 will be considered to be a newly filed application if it is amended
by a major amendment (as defined by paragraph (b) of this section), and will
cause the application to lose its status relative to later-filed
applications in the “queue” as described in § 25.158.
(e) Any amendment to an application shall be filed electronically through
the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) in accordance with the
applicable provisions of part 1, subpart Y of this chapter. Amendments to
space station applications must be filed on Form 312 and Schedule S.
Amendments to earth station applications must be filed on Form 312 and
Schedule B.
