Sec. 63.20  Copies required; fees; and filing periods for international 
          service providers.

    (a) Unless otherwise specified the Commission shall be furnished 
with an original and five copies of applications filed for international 
facilities and services under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended. Provided, however, that where applications involve 
only the supplementation of existing international facilities, and the 
issuance of a certificate is not required, an original and two copies of 
the application shall be furnished. Upon request by the Commission, 
additional copies of the application shall be furnished. Each 
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 the provisions 
of Secs. 63.02, 63.18, 63.62 or Sec. 63.505 shall be granted by the 
Commission earlier than 28 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, 
or the application qualifies for streamlined processing pursuant to 
Sec. 63.12.
    (c) No application accepted for filing and subject to the 
streamlined processing provisions of Sec. 63.12 shall be granted by the 
Commission earlier than 21 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.
    (d) Any interested party may file a petition to deny an application 
within the 21 day or other time period specified in paragraphs (b) or 
(c) of this section. The petitioner shall serve a copy of such petition 
on the applicant 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 
within 14 days after the original pleading is filed. The petitioner may 
file a reply to such opposition within seven days after the time for 
filing oppositions has expired. Allegations of facts or denials thereof 
shall similarly be supported by affidavit. These responsive pleadings 
shall be served on the applicant or petitioner, as appropriate, and 
other parties to the proceeding.
