Sec. 24.430 Opposition to applications.
(a) Petitions to deny (including petitions for other forms of relief) and
responsive pleadings for Commission consideration must comply with Sec. 1.2108
of this chapter and must:
(1) Identify the application or applications (including applicant's name,
station location, Commission file numbers and radio service involved) with
which it is concerned;
(2) Be filed in accordance with the pleading limitations, filing periods,
and other applicable provisions of Sec. Sec. 1.41 through 1.52 of this chapter
except where otherwise provided in Sec. 1.2108 of this chapter;
(3) Contain specific allegations of fact which, except for facts of which
official notice may be taken, shall be supported by affidavit of a person or
persons with personal knowledge thereof, and which shall be sufficient to
demonstrate that the petitioner (or respondent) is a party in interest and
that a grant of, or other Commission action regarding, the application would
be prima facie inconsistent with the public interest; and
(4) Contain a certificate of service showing that it has been mailed to the
applicant no later than the date of filing thereof with the Commission.
(b) A petition to deny a major amendment to a previously filed application
may only raise matters directly related to the amendment which could not
have been raised in connection with the underlying, previously filed
application. This does not apply to petitioners who gain standing because of
the major amendment.
(c) Parties who file frivolous petitions to deny may be subject to sanctions
including monetary forfeitures, license revocation, if they are FCC
licensees, and may be prohibited from participating in future auctions.
