Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 163 / Thursday, August 23, 2007 / Notices
which such bidders must submit
upfront payments to purchase bidding
eligibility in the subsequent auction.
The Bureau proposes that the public
notice will provide that the deadline for
selecting alternative licenses will be 10
business days from the date of the
public notice and the deadline for
submitting upfront payments will be 10
business days from the date of the
selection deadline. This will enable
bidding on the alternative licenses to
begin less than two months after the
public notice announcing the close of
Auction 73. The Bureau seeks comment
on this proposal.
102. Effective Period for AntiCollusion Rule. In the 700 MHz Second
Report and Order, the Commission
directed the Bureau to adopt any
procedures that may enhance the
effectiveness of an auction of licenses in
Auction 73 or any subsequent
contingent auction. In part, the
Commission found that the
Commission’s anti-collusion rule should
treat Auction 73 and any such
subsequent auction as a single auction,
given the related nature of the auctions.
Accordingly, the applicable down
payment deadline marking the end of
the anti-collusion period for Auction 73
and any subsequent auction shall be the
down payment deadline established
following the close of the subsequent
auction.
103. Minimum Opening Bids. For a
contingent subsequent auction, the
Bureau proposes to calculate minimum
opening bid amounts on a license-bylicense basis using the same approach as
described herein that draws on the
Auction 66 prices that were bid on
licenses for the exact same geographic
areas. The proposed minimum opening
bid amounts for the C1 and C2 Block
licenses that would be available in a
contingent subsequent auction are set
forth in Attachment D of the Auction 73
Comment Public Notice. For any
licenses in other blocks offered in the
same subsequent auction, the Bureau
proposes the same minimum opening
bid amounts set forth in Attachment A
of the Auction 73 Comment Public
Notice. The Bureau seeks comment on
these proposals and other possible
amounts for minimum opening bids. If
commenters believe that these
minimum opening bid amounts will
result in unsold licenses or are not
reasonable amounts, they should
explain why this is so, and comment on
the desirability of an alternative
approach. Commenters are advised to
support their claims with valuation
analyses and suggested amounts or
formulas. The change of conditions with
respect to any licenses for the A, B, C

and E Blocks to be offered in a
subsequent auction should increase the
value of the licenses and may support
higher minimum opening bids. In
addition, the bidding in the initial
auction may provide further information
regarding the appropriate level of
minimum opening bids. If the Bureau
modifies the minimum opening bids, it
will announce the new minimum
opening bids in the same public notice
announcing pre-auction procedures.
104. Additional Procedures. The
Commission also directed the Wireless
Bureau to consider what procedures
may be appropriate to deter bidders
from actions that might thwart the
assignment of licenses in either auction.
The Bureau proposes that otherwise
eligible bidders will be denied bidding
eligibility in a subsequent auction in the
event that they default on any winning
bids in the initial auction. The Bureau
seeks comment on this proposal, as well
as comment on any other proposals that
may enhance the effectiveness of the
auction of licenses in Auction 73 or any
contingent subsequent auction.
VI. Deadlines and Filing Procedures
105. Comments are due on or before
August 31, 2007, and reply comments
are due on or before September 7, 2007.
All filings related to the auction of 700
MHz spectrum licenses should refer to
AU Docket No. 07–157. Comments may
be submitted using the Commission’s
Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS) or by filing paper copies. The
Bureau strongly encourages interested
parties to file comments electronically,
and requests submission of a copy via
the Auction 73 e-mail box
(auction73@fcc.gov).
106. This proceeding has been
designated as a permit-but-disclose
proceeding in accordance with the
Commission’s ex parte rules. Persons
making oral ex parte presentations are
reminded that memoranda summarizing
the presentations must contain
summaries of the substance of the
presentations and not merely a listing of
the subjects discussed. More than a one
or two sentence description of the views
and arguments presented is generally
required. Other rules pertaining to oral
and written ex parte presentations in
permit-but-disclose proceedings are set
forth in section 1.1206(b) of the
Commission’s rules.

commercialization of results of

development. Foreign patent
applications are filed on selected
inventions to extend market coverage
for companies and may also be available

Methods for Prevention and Treatment
of Polyomavirus Infection or
Reactivation
Description of Technology: Available
for licensing and commercial
development are methods of using
Tranilast [N-(3’,4’dimethoxycinnamoyl)anthranilic acid]
in the prevention and treatment of
human polyomavirus infection.
Treatment with Tranilast decreases viral
protein expression for two human
polyomavirus species, JC virus (JCV)
and BK virus (BKV). Furthermore, the
increase in JCV/BKV protein production
observed upon the addition of TGF-b
could also be effectively abolished by
Tranilast co-treatment. This is of
relevance because TGF-b has previously
been demonstrated to increase during
immunosuppressive conditions,
including HIV infection and kidney
transplantation.
JCV is responsible for demyelization
of the central nervous system, which is
observed in cases of progressive
multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
PML is most frequently seen in patients
with HIV/AIDS, but is also a
contributing factor in fatalities in
patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and
connective tissue diseases, in addition
to individuals receiving
immunosuppressive therapy for
autoimmune disorders or prevention of
transplant rejection. BKV is associated
with serious clinical syndromes such as
viruria and viremia, ureteral ulceration
and stenosis, and hemorrhagic cystitis
and has a causative role in
polyomavirus-associated nephrophathy
in as many as 10% of all renal
transplant recipients. Currently, there
are no effective antiviral agents
available to treat these opportunistic
infections. In all observed cases,
activation of either JCV or BKV in
immunosuppressed patients has
resulted in fatalities.
Applications: Use in treatment and
prevention of polyomavirus infection in
immunocompromised patients. Specific
target is the prevention of PML in
treatment therapies for MS patients.
Development Status: In vitro data is
currently available and inventors are
actively developing the technology.
