Sec.  1.53   Separate pleadings for petitions for forbearance.

   In order to be considered as a petition for forbearance subject to the
   one-year deadline set forth in 47 U.S.C. 160(c), any petition requesting
   that the Commission exercise its forbearance authority under 47 U.S.C. 160
   shall be filed as a separate pleading and shall be identified in the caption
   of such pleading as a petition for forbearance under 47 U.S.C. 160(c). Any
   request  which  is  not  in compliance with this rule is deemed not to
   constitute a petition pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 160(c), and is not subject to
   the deadline set forth therein.
