Sec. 100.13  Application requirements.

    (a) Each application for an interim direct broadcast satellite 
system shall include a showing describing the type of service that will 
be provided, the technology that will be employed, and all other 
pertinent information. The application may be presented in narrative 
format.
    (b) Applicants may request specific frequencies and orbital 
positions. However, frequencies and orbital positions shall not be 
assigned until completion of the 1983 Region 2 Administrative Radio 
Conference for the Broadcasting-Satellite Service. The Commission shall 
generally consider all frequencies and orbital positions to be of equal 
value, and conflicting requests for frequencies and orbital positions 
will not necessarily give rise to comparative hearing rights as long as 
unassigned frequencies and orbital slots remain.
