§ 1.65   Substantial and significant changes in information furnished by
applicants to the Commission.

   (a)  Each  applicant  is  responsible  for the continuing accuracy and
   completeness  of  information furnished in a pending application or in
   Commission proceedings involving a pending application. Except as otherwise
   required by rules applicable to particular types of applications, whenever
   the  information  furnished  in  the  pending application is no longer
   substantially  accurate  and complete in all significant respects, the
   applicant shall as promptly as possible and in any event within 30 days,
   unless  good  cause  is  shown,  amend or request the amendment of the
   application so as to furnish such additional or corrected information as may
   be  appropriate.  Except  as otherwise required by rules applicable to
   particular types of applications, whenever there has been a substantial
   change as to any other matter which may be of decisional significance in a
   Commission proceeding involving the pending application, the applicant shall
   as promptly as possible and in any event within 30 days, unless good cause
   is  shown,  submit a statement furnishing such additional or corrected
   information as may be appropriate, which shall be served upon parties of
   record in accordance with § 1.47. Where the matter is before any court for
   review, statements and requests to amend shall in addition be served upon
   the Commission's General Counsel. For the purposes of this section, an
   application is “pending” before the Commission from the time it is accepted
   for filing by the Commission until a Commission grant or denial of the
   application is no longer subject to reconsideration by the Commission or to
   review by any court.

   (b) Applications in broadcast services subject to competitive bidding will
   be subject to the provisions of § § 1.2105(b), 73.5002 and 73.3522 of this
   chapter regarding the modification of their applications.

   (c) All broadcast permittees and licensees must report annually to the
   Commission any adverse finding or adverse final action taken by any court or
   administrative body that involves conduct bearing on the permittee's or
   licensee's  character  qualifications  and that would be reportable in
   connection with an application for renewal as reflected in the renewal form.
   If a report is required by this paragraph(s), it shall be filed on the
   anniversary of the date that the licensee's renewal application is required
   to be filed, except that licensees owning multiple stations with different
   anniversary dates need file only one report per year on the anniversary of
   their choice, provided that their reports are not more than one year apart.
   Permittees and licensees bear the obligation to make diligent, good faith
   efforts  to  become  knowledgeable  of any such reportable adjudicated
   misconduct.

   Note:  The  terms  adverse finding and adverse final action as used in
   paragraph (c) of this section include adjudications made by an ultimate
   trier of fact, whether a government agency or court, but do not include
   factual determinations which are subject to review de novo unless the time
   for taking such review has expired under the relevant procedural rules. The
   pendency of an appeal of an adverse finding or adverse final action does not
   relieve a permittee or licensee from its obligation to report the finding or
   action.
