[BC] Public File now must include Articles of Inc. and Bylaws

[Benedict, Raymond C]

Applications need only to be in the Public File until the application is granted or dismissed. Then the application is removed. If the application contains contour diagrams, the diagrams remain in the file as long as they are current.

>In so far as the PF and applications....any pending application OR ANY
>OTHER unadjudicated matter (violation notice, response appeal, pleading,
>et. al.) with the FCC MUST be on file in the PF untill completely

>the covering license is issued or the CP returned and canceled, an
>application is still considered pending.
