§  1.1604   Post-selection hearings.

   (a) Following the random selection, the Commission shall announce the
   “tentative selectee” and, where permitted by § 73.3584 invite Petitions
   to Deny its application.

   (b) If, after such hearing proceeding as may be necessary, the
   Commission determines that the “tentative selectee” has met the
   requirements of § 73.3591(a) it will make the appropriate grant. If the
   Commission is unable to make such a determination, it shall order that
   another random selection be conducted from among the remaining mutually
   exclusive applicants, in accordance with the provisions of this
   subpart.

   (c) If, on the basis of the papers before it, the Commission determines
   that a substantial and material question of fact exists, it shall
   designate that question for hearing. Hearing proceedings shall be
   conducted by a presiding officer. See § 1.241.
