§  1.6003   Service requirements.

   (a) General. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 325(e), for purposes of any
   proceeding under this subsection, any satellite carrier that

   process.

   (b) Specific. (1) A television broadcast station shall serve a
   satellite carrier with a complaint concerning an alleged violation of
   47 U.S.C. 325(b)(1) by filing the original and two copies of the
   complaint on the Secretary of the Commission and serving a copy of the
   complaint by means of two commonly used overnight delivery services,
   each addressed to the chief executive officer of the satellite carrier
   at its principal place of business and each marked “URGENT LITIGATION
   MATTER” on the outer packaging. Service shall be deemed complete one
   business day after a copy of the complaint is provided to the delivery
   services for overnight delivery. On receipt of a complaint filed by a
   television broadcast station under this subsection, the Secretary of
   the Commission shall send the original complaint by United States mail,
   postage prepaid, receipt requested, addressed to the chief executive

   number (including area code) of their chief executive officers to the
   Secretary of the Commission, no later than April 15, 2000. Satellite
   carriers shall update this information, as necessary, in the event that
   the identity or the address of their respective chief executive
   officers changes. These updates shall be made by United States mail
   within seven (7) days of such changes. Complaints sent to the last
   known address shall be deemed served if the satellite carrier fails to
   notify the Secretary of the Commission in accordance with this
   provision.
