When ordering documents from BCPI, please provide the appropriate FCC document number, for example, DA 07–4514 for the Auctions 73 and 76 Revised Procedure Public Notice. The Auctions 73 and 76 Revised Procedure Public Notice and related documents are also available on the Internet at the Commission’s Web site: https:// wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/73/. 1. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) announces a revised procedure for the upcoming auction(s) of licenses for services in the 700 MHz Band scheduled to begin on January 24, 2008 (Auctions 73 and 76). Specifically, the Bureau sets the additional default payment percentage at ten percent for the D Block license. The additional default payment percentage amount for licenses in the A, B, and E Blocks remains at fifteen percent, as previously announced. The Chiefs of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau also provide further guidance as to how they intend to exercise their delegated authority in the event that disputes arise during the negotiation of the terms of the Network Sharing Agreement between the winning bidder for the D Block license and the new national Public Safety Broadband Licensee. 2. Any winning bidder that defaults or is disqualified after the close of an auction is liable for a default payment under § 1.2104(g)(2) of the Commission’s rules. This payment consists of a deficiency payment, equal to the difference between the amount of the bidder’s bid and the amount of the winning bid the next time a license covering the same spectrum is won in an auction, plus an additional payment equal to a percentage of the defaulter’s bid or of the subsequent winning bid, whichever is less. In the 700 MHz Auction Procedures Public Notice, 72 FR 62360, November 2, 2007, the Bureau set the additional default payment percentage at fifteen percent of the defaulted bid for all licenses in blocks that are not subject to package bidding, including the D Block. 3. In establishing the percentage used to calculate the additional default payment, the Bureau seeks to deter defaults and thereby promote the public interest in rapid deployment of new wireless services. As the Bureau noted in the 700 MHz Auction Procedures Public Notice, the public interest costs PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of a default on the D Block are likely to be high given the role of the D Block in the establishment of a public/private partnership for the provision of public safety broadband services. At the same time, the Bureau recognizes that factors that may contribute to a default by a winning bidder for the D Block may be different in nature from those affecting winning bidders in other blocks. For example, the D Block winning bidder must negotiate and enter into a Commission-approved Network Sharing Agreement with the new national Public Safety Broadband Licensee consistent with terms and procedures set forth in the 700 MHz Second Report and Order, 72 FR 48814, August 24, 2007. 4. In the 700 MHz Auction Comment Public Notice, 72 FR 48272, August 23, 2007, the Bureau proposed adopting a fifteen percent additional default payment for the A, B, D and E Blocks. The Bureau made this proposal with respect to the A, B, and E Blocks because the possibility that no licenses in those blocks will be assigned if the reserve price is not met may give bidders an additional incentive to bid on a license and later default (after determination that the reserve price has been met), in order to help ensure that the reserve price is met and other initial licenses in the block are assigned. In contrast, the Bureau made its proposal with respect to the D Block, for which there is a single nationwide license which will not be assigned unless the D Block reserve price is met, because a default by the winning bidder will delay the especially time-sensitive process of establishing a public/private partnership for the provision of public safety broadband services. As noted in the 700 MHz Auction Procedures Public Notice, none of the parties responding to the 700 MHz Auction Comment Public Notice addressed the specific percentage for the additional default payment for licenses in any of the blocks. 5. On further review, the Bureau concludes that a slightly lower percentage should be used for the additional default payment in the case of the D Block license. The Commission must balance the public interest in avoiding defaults on winning bids against the risk of deterring otherwise qualified bidders from participating in the auction. A winning bidder of the D Block license may be presented with unique issues that may result in the bidder defaulting on its bid. The potential impact of those issues is difficult to quantify, and may vary from bidder to bidder. On further review, the Bureau concludes that the additional default percentage on the D Block E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM 19NON1
