Sec. 21.13  General application requirements.

    (a) Each application for a license or for consent to assignment or 
transfer of control shall:
    (1) Disclose fully the real party (or parties) in interest, 
including (as required) a complete disclosure of the identify and 
relationship of those persons or entities directly or indirectly owning 
or controlling (or both) the applicant;
    (2) Demonstrate the applicant's legal, financial, technical, and 
other qualifications to be a permittee or licensee;
    (3) Submit the information required by the Commission's Rules, 
requests, and application forms;
    (4) Except for applications in the Multipoint Distribution Service 
filed on or after September 15, 1995, state specifically the reasons why 
a grant of the proposal would serve the public interest, convenience, 
and necessity.
    (5) Be maintained by the applicant substantially accurate and 
complete in all significant respects in accordance with the provisions 
of Sec. 1.65 of this chapter; and
    (6) Show compliance with the special requirements applicable to each 
radio service and make all special showings that may be applicable 
(e.g., those required by secs. 21.900, 21.912 and 21.913).
    (b) Applications filed in the Multipoint Distribution Service shall 
not cross-reference previously filed material.
    (c) In addition to the general application requirements of 
Secs. 21.13 through 21.17 of this part, applicants shall submit any 
additional documents, exhibits, or signed written statements of fact:
    (1) As may be required by the other parts of the Commission's Rules, 
and the other subparts of Part 21 (particularly Subpart C and those 
subparts applicable to the specific radio service involved); and
    (2) As the Commission, at any time after the filing of an 
application and during the term of any authorization, may require from 
any applicant, permittee, or licensee to enable it to determine whether 
a radio authorization should be granted, denied, or revoked.
    (d) Except when the Commission has declared explicitly to the 
contrary, an informational requirement does not in itself imply the 
processing treatment of decisional weight to be accorded the response.
    (e) All applicants are required to indicate at the time their 
application is filed whether an authorization of the facilities is 
categorically excluded as defined by Sec. 1.1306 of the Commission's 
rules. If answered affirmatively, an Environmental Assessment as 
described by Sec. 1.1311, need not be filed with the application.
    (f) Whenever an individual applicant, or a partner (in the case of a 
partnership) or a full time manager (in the case of a corporation) will 
not actively participate in the day-to-day management and operation of 
proposed facilities, the applicant or licensee will submit a statement 
containing the reasons therefor and disclosing the details of the 
proposed operation, including a demonstration of how control over the 
radio facilities will be retained by the applicant. If the operation of 
a radio

[[Page 24]]

station is to be accomplished by contractual arrangement with an entity 
unrelated to an applicant or licensee, the applicant or licensee shall 
file a copy of the agreement or contract which shall demonstrate that:
    (1) The operation is accomplished according to general instructions 
provided for by the applicant;
    (2) The applicant retains effective control over the radio 
facilities and their operations; and
    (3) The applicant assumes full responsibility for both the quality 
of service and for contractor compliance with the Commission's Rules.
