If a petition to deny has been filed, or the application is mutually exclusive with another application, the amendment shall be served on the petitioner, or the other applicant, as the case may be.

If consideration has been promised, or received, the statement shall set forth in full detail all the relevant facts with sufficient itemization of the consideration to enable the examiner to determine to what extent, if any, that the consideration represents only the reasonable costs of prosecuting the petitioner's application.

(d) The Commission (or the presiding officer, if the application has been designated for hearing) may, upon its own motion or upon motion of any

party to a proceeding, order the applicant to amend his application so as to make the same more definite and certain, and may require an applicant to submit such documents and written statements of fact as in its judgment may be necessary.
