§  1.53   Separate pleadings for petitions for forbearance.

   In order to be considered as a petition for forbearance subject to the
   one-year deadline set forth in 47 U.S.C. 160(c), any petition
   requesting that the Commission exercise its forbearance authority under
   47 U.S.C. 160 shall be filed as a separate pleading and shall be
   identified in the caption of such pleading as a petition for
   forbearance under 47 U.S.C. 160(c). Any request which is not in
   compliance with this rule is deemed not to constitute a petition
   pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 160(c), and is not subject to the deadline set
   forth therein.
