Sec.  21.26   Receipt of applications.

   

   Applications received by the Commission are given a file number for
   administrative convenience, which does not indicate the acceptance of
   the application for filing and processing. After preliminary review
   those applications covered by Sec. 21.27(a) that appear complete will be
   put on public notice as accepted for filing. Neither the assignment of
   a file number nor the listing of the application on public notice as
   accepted for filing indicates that the application has been found
   acceptable for filing or precludes the subsequent return or dismissal
   of the application if it is found to be defective or not in
   substantial compliance with the Commission's rules.
