Sec. 24.823  Amendment of applications for licenses in the broadband 
          Personal Communications Services (other than applications 
          filed on FCC Form 175).

    (a) Amendments as of right. A pending application may be amended as 
a matter of right if the application has not been designated for 
hearing.
    (1) Amendments shall comply with Sec. 24.829, as applicable; and
    (2) Amendments which resolve interference conflicts or amendments 
under Sec. 24.829 may be filed at any time.
    (b) The Commission or the presiding officer may grant requests to 
amend an application designated for hearing only if a written petition 
demonstrating good cause is submitted and properly served upon the 
parties of record.
    (c) Major amendments, minor amendments. The Commission will classify 
all amendments as minor except in the cases listed below. An amendment 
shall be deemed to be a major amendment subject to Sec. 24.827 if it 
proposes a substantial change in ownership or control.
    (d) If a petition to deny (or other formal objection) has been 
filed, any amendment, request for waiver or other written communication 
shall be served on the petitioner, unless waiver of this requirement is 
granted pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. See also Sec. 1.2108 
of this Chapter.
    (e) The Commission may waive the service requirements of paragraph 
(d) of this section and prescribe such alternative procedures as may be 
appropriate under the circumstances to protect petitioners' interests 
and to avoid undue delay in a proceeding, if an applicant submits a 
request for waiver which demonstrates that the service requirement is 
unreasonably burdensome.
    (f) Any amendment to an application shall be signed and shall be 
submitted in the same manner, and with the same number of copies, as was 
the original application. Amendments may be made in letter form if they 
comply in all other respects with the requirements of this chapter.
    (g) An application will be considered to be a newly-filed 
application if it is amended by a major amendment (as defined in this 
section), except in the following circumstances:
    (1)-(2) [Reserved]
    (3) The amendment reflects only a change in ownership or control 
found by the Commission to be in the public interest;
    (4) [Reserved]
    (5) The amendment corrects typographical transcription or similar 
clerical errors which are clearly demonstrated to be mistakes by 
reference to other parts of the application, and whose discovery does 
not create new or increased frequency conflicts.
