1. Mutually Exclusive Engineering
Proposals: On April 20, 2006, the Media
and Wireless Telecommunications
Bureaus (Bureaus) announced a filing
window for certain low power
television (LPTV) and television
translator stations to submit proposals
for digital companion channels by
public notice, 71 FR 34348, June 14,
2006. In attachment A of the Auction
No. 85 Settlement Public Notice, the
Bureaus provide a list of all proposals
received that are mutually exclusive
with other proposals submitted in the
filing window. Since the proposals
listed in Attachment A of the Auction
No. 85 Settlement Public Notice are
mutually exclusive, they are subject to
the Commission’s competitive bidding
procedures.
2. 60-Day Settlement Period Ending
December 15, 2006: The Bureaus
announce a 60-day period beginning
with the release of the Auction No. 85
Settlement Public Notice and ending
December 15, 2006, for parties with
proposals in the mutually exclusive
(MX) groups listed in Attachment A of
the Auction No. 85 Settlement Public
Notice to enter into settlement
agreements or otherwise resolve their
mutual exclusivities by means of
engineering solutions. The parties must
submit the agreements and affidavits
required by 47 CFR 73.3525 and/or any
engineering submission by the deadline
on December 15, 2006. After approval of
a settlement and/or engineering
submission, the proposed permittee(s)
must submit an accurate and complete
FCC Form 346 by the deadline
subsequently specified by staff.
3. Settlement Agreement Submission
Requirements: Applicants must ensure
that their settlement agreements comply
with the provisions of 47 U.S.C. 311(c)
and the pertinent requirements of 47
CFR 73.3525 including the
reimbursement restrictions. For
example: (a) Parties must submit a copy
of their settlement agreement and any
ancillary agreement(s); (b) parties must
submit a joint request for approval of
such agreement; (c) parties must submit
an affidavit of each party to the
agreement setting forth: (i) the reasons
why it is considered that such
agreement is in the public interest; (ii)
a statement that its application was not
filed for the purpose of reaching or
carrying out such agreement; (iii) a
certification that neither the applicant
nor its principals has received any
money or other consideration in excess
of the legitimate and prudent expenses
of the applicant; (iv) the exact nature
VerDate Aug<31>2005
02:16 Oct 28, 2006
Jkt 211001
and amount of any consideration paid
or promised; (v) an itemized accounting
of the expenses for which it seeks
reimbursement; and (vi) the terms of
any oral agreement relating to the
dismissal or withdrawal of its
application.
4. Applicants that unilaterally dismiss
their application or file an engineering
amendment that removes the mutual
exclusivity to their application without
having entered a settlement agreement
with another applicant must
nevertheless submit an affidavit as to
whether or not consideration has been
promised to or received by such
applicant in connection with their
dismissal or engineering amendment.
5. Anti-Collusion Rule: The
prohibition of collusion set forth in 47
CFR 1.2105(c) and 73.5002(d) became
effective upon the short-form (FCC Form
175) filing deadline on June 30, 2006.
However, the Commission’s Rules
provide for a limited opportunity to
settle, or otherwise resolve mutual
exclusivities by means of engineering
solutions, following the filing of the
FCC Form 175 applications.
Specifically, parties in MX groups listed
in Attachment A of the Auction No. 85
Settlement Public Notice may discuss
possible settlement agreements or
technical solutions with other parties in
their group during the limited period
which commences with the release of
the Auction No. 85 Settlement Public
Notice and ends on December 15, 2006.
Once the settlement period ends, the
anti-collusion restrictions once again
take effect. The Commission will
proceed to auction with any competing
mutually exclusive proposals that are
not resolved by the parties during this
settlement period.
6. When and Where to File:
Settlement agreements that are entered
into in connection with this settlement
period must be filed prior to 6 p.m.
Eastern Time (ET) on December 15,
2006, as an attachment to the respective
parties’ FCC Form 175s via the FCC
Auction System. Similarly, applicants
proposing engineering amendments in
connection with this settlement period
must do so by amending the technical
portion of their FCC Form 175s via the
FCC Auction System. Engineering
amendments also must be submitted
prior to 6:00 p.m. on December 15,
2006. Late-filed settlement agreements
and engineering amendments or
unconfirmed submissions of electronic
data will not be accepted. Settlement
agreements and engineering
amendments may be filed any time
beginning 9 a.m. ET on October 17,
2006, until 6 p.m. ET on December 15,
2006. Applicants are strongly

Auction No. 85 Settlement Public
Notice. Technical support is available at

ET. In order to provide better service to
the public, all calls to the hotline are
recorded.
7. The Bureaus will withhold further
action on the mutually exclusive
proposals listed in Attachment A of the
Auction No. 85 Settlement Public Notice
pending submission of settlement
agreements or engineering proposals to
resolve mutual exclusivity. Following
the close of the settlement period, the
Bureaus subsequently will announce an
auction date and propose auction
procedures for selecting among the
remaining MX proposals.
