A. Introduction
1. The Auction No. 60 Procedures
Public Notice announces the procedures
and minimum opening bid amounts for
the upcoming auction of licenses in the
Lower 700 MHz band C block (710–716/
740–746 MHz) scheduled for July 20,
2005 (Auction No. 60). On January 26,
2005, in accordance with Section
309(j)(4) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (‘‘Bureau’’)
released a public notice seeking
comment on reserve prices or minimum
opening bid amounts and the
procedures to be used in Auction No.
60. The Bureau received no comments
in response to the Auction No. 60
Comment Public Notice, 70 FR 6436,
(February 7, 2005).
i. Background of Proceeding
2. On January 18, 2002, the
Commission released the Lower 700
MHz Report and Order, 67 FR 45380
(July 9, 2002) which adopted allocation
and service rules for the Lower 700 MHz
Band. Specifically, the Commission
reallocated the entire 48 megahertz of
spectrum in the Lower 700 MHz band
to fixed and mobile services and
retained the existing broadcast
allocation for both new broadcast
services and incumbent broadcast
services during their transition to digital
television (‘‘DTV’’). The Commission
established technical criteria designed
to protect incumbent television
operations in the band during the DTV
transition period, allowed low power
television (‘‘LPTV’’) and TV translator
stations to retain secondary status and
operate in the band after the transition,
and set forth a mechanism by which
pending broadcast applications may be
amended to provide analog or digital
service in the core television spectrum
or to provide digital service on TV
Channels 52–58.
3. In its service rules, the Commission
divided the Lower 700 MHz band into
three 12-megahertz blocks, with each
block consisting of a pair of 6-megahertz
segments, and two 6-megahertz blocks
of contiguous, unpaired spectrum. The
Commission decided to divide the five
blocks in the Lower 700 MHz band plan
as follows: for the two 6-megahertz
blocks of contiguous unpaired
spectrum, as well as two of the three 12megahertz blocks of paired spectrum,
