§  5.65   Defective applications.

   (a) Applications that are defective with respect to completeness of
   answers to required questions, execution or other matters of a purely
   formal character may be found to be unacceptable for filing by the
   Commission, and may be returned to the applicant with a brief statement
   as to the omissions.

   (b) If an applicant is requested by the Commission to file any
   documents or information not included in the prescribed application
   form, failure to comply with such request will constitute a defect in
   the application.

   (c) Applications not in accordance with the Commission's rules,
   regulations, or other requirements will be considered defective unless
   accompanied either by:

   (1) A petition to amend any rule, regulation, or requirement with which
   the application is in conflict; or

   (2) A request for waiver of any rule, regulation, or requirement with
   which the application is in conflict. Such request shall show the
   nature of the waiver desired and set forth the reasons in support
   thereof.
