Auction 77 is being conducted strictly
to resolve conflicts between entities in
two cellular unserved areas that were
unable to resolve their mutually
exclusive applications, a default by the
winning bidder would suggest that the
bidder has not made a good-faith effort
to abide by FCC license assignment
procedures, thereby weakening the
integrity of the auction process. The
Bureau proposes to impose the
maximum payment percentage to deter
such behavior. The Bureau seeks
comment on this proposal.
III. Commission’s EX PARTE Rules
19. This proceeding has been
designated as a permit-but-disclose

agreement—that would settle these
allegations.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before April 28, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments.
Comments should refer to ‘‘Reed
Elsevier and Seisint, File No. 052 3094,’’

and must comply with Commission
Rule 4.9(c). 16 CFR 4.9(c) (2005).1 The

appropriate. All timely and responsive
public comments, whether filed in

considered by the Commission, and will
be available to the public on the FTC
website, to the extent practicable, at
