Sec. 1.13  Filing of petitions for review and notices of appeals of 
          Commission orders.

    (a)(1) This section pertains to each party filing a petition for 
review in any United States court of appeals of a Commission Order, 
pursuant to section 402(a) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 402(a), 
and 28 U.S.C. 2342(l), that wishes to avail itself of procedures 
established for selection of a court in the case of multiple appeals, 
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2112(a). Each such party shall, within ten days 
after the issuance of that order, file with the General Counsel in the 
Office of General Counsel, Room 614, 1919 M Street NW., Washington, DC 
20554, a copy of its petition for review as filed and date-stamped by 
the court of appeals within which it was filed. Such copies of petitions 
for review must be filed by 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the tenth day of 
the filing period. A stamp indicating the time and date received by the 
Office of General Counsel will constitute proof of filing. Upon receipt 
of any copies of petitions for review, the Commission shall follow the 
procedures established in section 28 U.S.C. 2112(a) to determine the 
court in which to file the record in that case.
    (2) Computation of time of the ten-day period for filing copies of 
petitions for review of a Commission order shall be governed by Sec. 1.4 
of the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 1.4. The date of issuance of a 
Commission order for purposes of filing copies of petitions for review 
shall be the date of public notice as defined in Sec. 1.4(b), 47 CFR 
1.4(b).
    (b) Copies of notices of appeals filed pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 402(b) 
shall be served upon the General Counsel.

    Note: For administrative efficiency, the Commission requests that 
any petitioner seeking judicial review of Commission actions pursuant to 
47 U.S.C. 402(a) serve a copy of its petition on the General Counsel 
regardless of whether it wishes to avail itself of the procedures for 
multiple appeals set forth in 47 U.S.C. (a).
