§ 25.163   Reinstatement.

   (a) A station authorization terminated in whole or in part under the
   provisions of § 25.161 may be reinstated if the Commission, in its
   discretion, determines that reinstatement would best serve the public
   interest, convenience and necessity. Petitions for reinstatement will
   be considered only if:

   (1) The petition is filed within 30 days after the expiration date set
   forth in § 25.161(a) or § 25.161(b), whichever is applicable;

   (2) The petition explains the failure to file a timely notification or
   renewal application; and

   (3) The petition sets forth with specificity the procedures which have
   been established to insure timely filings in the future.

   (b) A special temporary authorization shall automatically terminate
   upon the expiration date specified therein, or upon failure of the
   grantee to comply with any special terms or conditions set forth in the
   authorization. Temporary operation may be extended beyond the
   termination date only upon application to the Commission.
