The rule says
"The applicant shall mail a copy of the application and any subsequent amendments or other documents relating to the application to each person who is reasonably ascertainable by the applicant as a person who will be affected by the determination sought." (49 CFR 107.217(a))
"The copy of the application must be accompanied by a statement that the person may submit comments regarding the application within 45 days." (49 CFR 107.217(a))
In plain English

If the applicant can't reasonably find out who will be affected, they have to follow special procedures.
What to do
- Identify all people who will be affected by the determination sought
- Mail a copy of the application and any subsequent amendments to each person
- Include a statement that the person may submit comments within 45 days
- Certify that the application has complied with this paragraph and include the names and addresses of each person to whom the application was sent
