Sec. 90.139  Commission processing of applications.

    (a) Applications received for filing are given a file number. The 
assignment of a file number to an application is for administrative 
convenience and does not indicate the acceptance of the application for 
filing and processing.
    (b) Applications which are incomplete with respect to answers, 
supplementary statements, execution, or other matters of a formal 
character shall be deemed defective and may be dismissed. In addition, 
if an applicant is requested to file any additional documents or 
information not included in the prescribed application form, failure to 
comply with such request will render the application defective and it 
may be dismissed. Applications will also be deemed to be defective and 
be dismissed in the following cases:
    (1) Statutory disqualification of applicant;
    (2) Proposed use or purpose of station would be unlawful;
    (3) Requested frequency is not allocated for assignment for the 
service proposed.
    (c) Applications which are not in accordance with the provisions of 
this chapter, or other requirements of the Commission, will be 
considered defective and may be dismissed unless accompanied by a 
request in accordance with Sec. 90.151 of this part.
