Why don't you pick up the phone and call the FCC and ask them?

Under 47 CFR Sec. 1.945, pertaining to license grants for
authorizations in the Private Radio Services, subparagraph (c) sets
forth the findings necessary for the Commission to grant the
application in question without a hearing, and subparagraph (f) states
that the Commission has to designate the application for a hearing if
it can't make the findings contained in subparagraph (c). Assume that
an amateur appllies for renewal of his license and the Private Radio
Bureau "offlines" it, which is tantamount to saying that the Commission
cannot make the findings contained in subparagraph (c), and takes no
action on it for an extended period of time. How long does the
Commission have to sit on the application before designating it for a
hearing under subparagraph (f)? And what provision of law imposes that
time limit?
