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

   (a) Applications filed under section 214 of the Communications Act for
   domestic authority must be filed electronically with the Commission
   through the Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). Each domestic
   transfer of control 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 via electronic mail or paper copy 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 § 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.
