§  1.1707   Acceptance of filings.

   Regardless of filing method, all submissions with an insufficient fee,
   grossly deficient or inaccurate information, or those without a valid
   signature will be dismissed immediately. For any submission that is
   found subsequently to have minimally deficient or inaccurate
   information, we will notify the filer of the defect. We will allow 15
   days from the date of this notification for correction or amendment of
   the submission if the amendment is minor. If the applicant files a
   timely corrected application, it will ordinarily be processed as a
   minor amendment in accordance with the Commission's rules. Thus it will
   have no effect on the initial filing date of the application or the
   applicant's filing priority. If, however, the amendment made by the
   applicant is not a simple correction, but constitutes a major amendment
   to the application, it will be governed by the rules and procedures
   applicable to major amendments, that is, it will be treated as a new
   application with a new filing date and new fees must be paid by the
   applicant. Finally, if the applicant fails to submit an amended
   application within the period specified in the notification, the
   application will be subject to dismissal for failure to prosecute.
