Sec. 73.3574  Processing of international broadcast station 
          applications.

    (a) Applications for International station facilities are divided 
into two groups.
    (1) In the first group are applications for new stations, or for 
major changes in the facilities of authorized stations. A major change 
is any change in or addition to authorized zones or areas of reception, 
any change in transmitter location other than one in the immediate 
vicinity of existing antennas of the station, or any change in power, or 
antenna directivity. However, the FCC may, within 15 days after the 
acceptance for filing of any other application for modification, advise 
the applicant that such application is considered to be one for a major 
change and therefore is subject to Secs. 1.1111 and 73.3580 pertaining 
to major changes.
    (2) The second group consists of applications for licenses and all 
other changes in the facilities of authorized stations.
    (b) If an application is amended so as to effect a major change as 
defined in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, or so as to result in an 
assignment or transfer of control which, in the case of an authorized 
station, would require the filing of an application therefor on FCC Form 
314 or 315 (see Sec. 73.3540), Sec. 73.3580 will apply to such amended 
application.
    (c) Applications for International stations will be processed as 
nearly as possible in the order in which they are filed.
