Accordingly, for the D Block license the Bureau sets the additional default payment percentage at ten percent of the defaulted bid or of the subsequent winning bid, whichever is less. While the Bureau remains mindful that a default could harm the public interest by delaying the deployment of service to the public safety community as well as to consumers, the Bureau concludes that the ten percent additional payment used in several recent auctions serves as a sufficient deterrent to defaults for the D Block. 6. In the 700 MHz Second Report and Order, the Commission delegated to the Chiefs of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureaus) the authority to take certain actions jointly in the public interest in the event of a dispute between the winning bidder for the D Block license and the Public Safety Broadband Licensee at the end of the six-month negotiation period for the Network Sharing Agreement (NSA), or on their own motion at any time. In particular, the Commission indicated that these actions may include but are not limited to one or more of the following: (1) Granting additional time for negotiation; (2) issuing a decision on the disputed issues and requiring the submission of a draft agreement consistent with that decision; (3) directing the parties to further brief the remaining issues in full for immediate Commission decision; and/or (4) immediate denial of the longform application filed by the winning bidder for the D Block license. 7. The Bureaus believe that it is in the public interest to provide potential bidders for the D Block license, as well as the public safety community, with further guidance as to how the Bureaus intend to exercise their delegated authority in the event that disputes arise with respect to the negotiation of the terms of the NSA. As a result, the Bureaus announce that they will not exercise their authority for immediate denial of the long-form application filed by the winning bidder for the D Block license, as a result of any dispute over the negotiation of the terms of the NSA, until the Bureaus take one of two steps: (1) Issuing a decision on the disputed issues and requiring the submission of a draft agreement consistent with their decision; or (2) referring the issues to the Commission for an immediate decision and the Commission issues such a decision.
