§  61.153   Method of filing applications.

   (a) An application for special permission must be addressed to
   "Secretary, Federal Communication Commission, Washington, DC 20554."
   The date on which the application is received by the Secretary of the
   Commission (or the Mail Room where submitted by mail) is considered the
   official filing date.

   (b) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees
   electronically, for all special permission applications requiring fees
   as set forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, the issuing carrier
   must submit the original of the application letter (without
   attachments), FCC Form 159, and the appropriate fee to the U.S. Bank,
   St. Louis, Missouri at the address set forth in § 1.1105 of this
   chapter. Issuing carriers submitting tariffing fees electronically
   should submit the Form 159 and the original cover letter to the
   Secretary of the Commission in lieu of the U.S. Bank. The Form 159
   should display the Electronic Audit Code in the box in the upper left
   hand corner marked "reserved." Issuing carriers should submit these fee
   materials on the same date as the submission in paragraph (a) of this
   section.

   (c) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b)
   of this section, the issuing carrier must send a copy of the
   application letter with all attachments to the Secretary, Federal
   Communications Commission and a separate copy with all attachments to
   the Chief, Pricing Policy Division. If a carrier applies for special
   permission to revise joint tariffs, the application must state that it
   is filed on behalf of all carriers participating in the affected
   service. Applications must be numbered consecutively in a series
   separate from FCC tariff numbers, bear the signature of the officer or
   agent of the carrier, and be in the following format:
