Sec.  63.52   Copies required; fees; and filing periods for domestic
authorizations.

   (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished with an
   original  and  5 copies of applications filed under section 214 of the
   Communications  Act of 1934, as amended; Provided, however, that where
   applications  involve  only  the  supplementation of existing domestic
   facilities, and the issuance of a certificate is not required, an original
   and 2 copies of the application shall be furnished. Upon request by the
   Commission additional copies of the application shall be furnished. Each
   application shall be accompanied by the fee prescribed in subpart G of part
   1 of this chapter.

   (b) No application accepted for filing and subject to part 63 of these
   rules, unless provided for otherwise, shall be granted by the Commission
   earlier than 30 days following issuance of public notice by the Commission
   of the acceptance for filing of such application or any major amendment
   unless said public notice specifies another time period.

   (c) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application within
   the 30-day or other time period specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
   The petitioner shall serve a copy of such petition on the applicant no later
   than the date of filing thereof with the Commission. The petition shall
   contain specific allegations of fact sufficient to show that the petitioner
   is a party in interest and that a grant of the application would be prima
   facie inconsistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. Such
   allegations of fact shall, except for those of which official notice may be
   taken,  be supported by affidavit of a person or persons with personal
   knowledge thereof. The applicant may file an opposition to any petition to
   deny, and the petitioners may file a reply to such opposition (see  Sec. 1.45 of
   this chapter), and allegations of facts or denials thereof shall similarly
   be supported by affidavit. These responsive pleadings shall be served on the
   applicant  or  petitioners,  as  appropriate, and other parties to the
   proceeding.
