§ 63.61   Applicability.

   Any carrier subject to the provisions of section 214 of the Communications
   Act  of  1934,  as amended, proposing to discontinue, reduce or impair
   interstate or foreign telephone or telegraph service to a community, or a
   part of a community, shall request authority therefor by formal application
   or informal request as specified in the pertinent sections of this part:

   (a) Provided, however, that where service is expanded on an experimental
   basis for a temporary period of not more than 6 months, no application shall
   be required to reduce service to its status prior to such expansion but a
   written notice shall be filed with the Commission within 10 days of the
   reduction showing:

   (1) The date on which, places at which, and extent to which service was
   expanded; and,

   (2) The date on which, places at which, and extent to which such expansion
   of service was discontinued.

   (b) And provided further that a licensee of a radio station who has filed an
   application for authority to discontinue service provided by such station
   shall  during  the  period that such application is pending before the
   Commission, continue to file appropriate applications as may be necessary
   for  extension or renewal of station license in order to provide legal
   authorization for such station to continue in operation pending final action
   on  the  application  for  discontinuance  of  service. Procedures for
   discontinuance,  reduction  or  impairment  of service by dominant and
   non-dominant,   domestic   carriers  are  in  § 63.71.  Procedures  for
   discontinuance, reduction or impairment of international services are in
   § 63.19.
