Sec. 73.5006 Filing of petitions to deny against long-form applications.
(a) As set forth in 47 CFR 1.2108, petitions to deny may be filed against
the long-form applications filed by winning bidders in broadcast service
auctions and against the long-form applications filed by applicants whose
short-form applications were not mutually exclusive with any other
applicant, or whose short-form applications were mutually exclusive only
with one or more short-form applications for a noncommercial educational
broadcast station, as described in 47 U.S.C. 397(6).
(b) Within ten (10) days following the issuance of a public notice
announcing that a long-form application for an AM, FM or television
construction permit has been accepted for filing, petitions to deny that
application may be filed. Within fifteen (15) days following the issuance of
a public notice announcing that a long-form application for a low-power
television, television translator or FM translator construction permit has
been accepted for filing, petitions to deny that application may be filed.
Any such petitions must contain allegations of fact supported by affidavit
of a person or persons with personal knowledge thereof.
(c) An applicant may file an opposition to any petition to deny, and the
petitioner a reply to such opposition. Allegations of fact or denials
thereof must be supported by affidavit of a person or persons with personal
knowledge thereof. In the AM, FM and television broadcast services, the time
for filing such oppositions shall be five (5) days from the filing date for
petitions to deny, and the time for filing replies shall be five (5) days
from the filing date for oppositions. In the low-power television,
television translator and FM translator broadcast services, the time for
filing such oppositions shall be fifteen (15) days from the filing date for
petitions to deny, and the time for filing replies shall be ten (10) days
from the filing date for oppositions.
(d) Broadcast construction permits will be granted by the Commission only if
the Commission denies or dismisses all petitions to deny, if any are filed,
and is otherwise satisfied that an applicant is qualified, and after full
and timely payment of winning bids and any applicable late fees. See 47 CFR
73.5003. Construction of broadcast stations shall not commence until the
grant of such permit or license to the winning bidder and only after full
and timely payment of winning bids and any applicable late fees.
