Sec.  1.10015   Are there exceptions for emergency filings?

   (a) Sometimes we grant licenses, modifications or renewals even if no one
   files an application. Instances where this may occur include:

   (1) If we find there is an emergency involving danger to life or property,
   or because equipment is damaged;

   (2) If the President proclaims, or if Congress declares, a national
   emergency;

   (3) During any war in which the United States is engaged and when grants,
   modifications or renewals are necessary for national defense, security or in
   furtherance of the war effort; or

   (4) If there is an emergency where we find that it is not feasible to secure
   renewal applications from existing licensees or to follow normal licensing
   procedures.

   (b) Emergency authorizations stop at the end of emergency periods or wars.
   After the emergency period or war, you must submit your request by filing
   the appropriate form either manually or electronically.

   (c) The procedures for emergency requests, as described in this section, are
   as specified in  Sec.  Sec. 25.120 and 63.25 of this chapter.
