Denial of the waiver could result in dismissal of WWC's application, but the amendments are considered minor under Commission rules and do not initiate a new pleading cycle for filing petitions to deny. For the same reasons, we reject McElroy's contention that Section 1.947(a) of the Commission's rules classifies WWC's amended application as a major modification, initiating a new 30-day filing period for petitions to deny under Section 1.939(a)(2) of the Commission's rules.
