Sec. 1.825  Random selection procedures for Digital Electronic Message 
          Service.

    If there are mutually exclusive applications for an initial permit 
or license for a digital termination system, the Commission may use the 
random selection process to select the permittee or licensee. Each such 
random selection shall be conducted under the direction of the Office of 
Managing Director in conjunction with the Office of the Secretary. The 
random selection shall rank order the applications. No preferences shall 
be awarded to participants. Following the random selection, the 
Commission shall announce the rank order of the applications to 
determine whether the first ranked tentative selectee is qualified to 
recieve the permit or license. If the Commission determines that the 
tentative selectee is qualified, it shall grant the application. The 
Commission shall then determine which of the alternate applications in 
rank order, can also be granted and whether those alternate tentative 
selectees are qualified to receive the permit or license. If the 
Commission determines that the alternate tentative selectees are 
qualified, it shall grant the applications.
