(c) Regardless of any action which may have been taken by the Commission upon a previous application under section 305(b) of the act, an application for approval under such section is required with reference to any position or positions not previously authorized which are within the purview of said section. § 45.3 Time of filing application.

(a) Anticipatory application. An application may be made in anticipation of election or appointment to a position or positions within the purview of section 305(b) of the act.

(b) Application after election or appointment. Section 305(b) of the act provides that the holding of positions within the purview of that section shall be unlawful unless the holding shall have been authorized by order of the Commission. Nothing in this part shall be construed as authorizing the holding of positions prior to the order of the Commission on application therefor. Applications shall be filed within 30 days after election or appointment to any positions within the purview of section 305 (b) of the act.

§ 45.4 Supplemental applications.

(a) New positions. In the event of a change or changes in the information set forth in an application, by the applicant's election or appointment to another position or other positions in corporations within the purview of section 305 (b) of the act, the application shall be supplemented by the applicant's setting forth all the data with respect to the new position or positions in accordance with the requirements of this part.

(b) Old positions. After applicant has been authorized to hold a particular position, further application in connection with each successive term so long as he continues in uninterrupted tenure of such position will not be required except as ordered by the Commission. If the term of office or the holding of any position for which authorization has been given shall be interrupted and the applicant shall subsequently be reelected or reappointed thereto, further authorization will be required.

§ 45.5 Supplemental information.

(a) Required by Commission. Applicants under this part shall upon request of the Commission and within such time as may be allowed, supplement any application or any supplemental application with any information required by the Commission.

(b) Notice of changes. In the event of the applicant's resignation, withdrawal, or failure of reelection or appointment in respect to any of the positions for which authorization has been granted by the Commission, or in the event of any other material or substantial change therein, the applicant shall within 30 days after any such change occurs, give notice thereof to the Commission setting forth the position corporation, and date of termination therewith, or other material or substantial change.

(c) Reports. All persons holding positions by authorization of the Commission under section 305(b) of the act may be required to file such periodic or special reports as the Commission may deem necessary.

§ 45.6 Termination of authorziation.

(a) By the Commission. Orders of authorization under section 305(b) of the act are subject to revocation by the Commission after due notice to applicant and opportunity for hearing. In any such proceeding the burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to show that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by the holding of such positions.

(b) Without action of the Commission. Whenever a person shall cease to hold a position theretofore authorized to be held by the Commission or such position shall cease to be within the purview of section 305(b) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission's authorization to hold such position shall terminate without further action by the Commission. If upon such termination of authorization as aforesaid, such person does not continue to hold at least two positions authorized and then requiring authorization pursuant to said section 305(b) of the act, all authorization theretofore given by the Commission shall thereupon terminate.
