Taking the FCC seriously

I'm wondering what you all think of how seriously we should be taking directives from the FCC. The specific case I have in mind is the now infamous Docket 05-243. (That's the one that shuffles everything from 105.1 on up and a bunch of other channels.) The final report and order was released last January. The directive said that all parties affected by the move were to submit a minor change application within 90 days. That passed a long time ago. Some of the stations still haven't submitted them. I specifically looked at KTMY and KOSY, since Clear Channel seemingly wasn't all that happy with the plan. Neither station has filed the required applications. I wouldn't be surprised if there were others that hadn't done so, but I wasn't quite motivated enough to look through the 20-something stations that were affected. 
So here's the question. Even if someone complained, would the FCC do anything about it? Should they? How should they handle it?
My take on it; no they won't, yes they should, and they should at least be fined for not doing so.
