Appraisal Subcommittee Notice of Meeting, 1164-1165 [2011-103]

Download as PDF 1164 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 5 / Friday, January 7, 2011 / Notices withdrawal payment provisions of 47 CFR 1.2104(g) and 1.2109. 49. For Auction 92, the Bureau proposes to limit each bidder to withdrawing provisionally winning bids in only one round during the course of the auction. To permit a bidder to withdraw bids in more than one round may encourage insincere bidding or the use of withdrawals for anti-competitive purposes. The round in which withdrawals may be used will be at the bidder’s discretion, and there is no limit on the number of provisionally winning bids that may be withdrawn during that round. Withdrawals must be in accordance with the Commission’s rules, including the bid withdrawal payment provisions specified in 47 CFR 1.2104(g). The withdrawal payment amount is deducted from any upfront payments or down payments that the withdrawing bidder has deposited with the Commission. 50. The Bureau seeks comment on these bid withdrawal procedures. If commenters believe that each bidder should be allowed to withdraw provisionally winning bids in more than one round during the course of the auction, they should state how many bid withdrawal rounds they seek and explain what specific factors lead them to that conclusion. If commenters believe that bidders in this auction should not be permitted to withdraw any bids, they should discuss their reasoning for this suggestion. jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES C. Post-Auction Payments i. Interim Withdrawal Payment Percentage 51. The Bureau seeks comment on the appropriate percentage of a withdrawn bid that should be assessed as an interim withdrawal payment in the event that a final withdrawal payment cannot be determined at the close of the auction. In general, 47 CFR 1.2104(g) provides that a bidder that withdraws a bid during an auction is subject to a withdrawal payment equal to the difference between the amount of the withdrawn bid and the amount of the winning bid in the same or subsequent auction(s). If a bid is withdrawn and no subsequent higher bid is placed and/or the license is not won in the same auction, the final withdrawal payment cannot be calculated until after the close of a subsequent auction in which a higher bid for the license (or the equivalent to the license) is placed or the license is won. When that final payment cannot yet be calculated, the bidder responsible for the withdrawn bid is assessed an interim bid withdrawal payment, which will be VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Jan 06, 2011 Jkt 223001 applied toward any final bid withdrawal payment that is ultimately assessed. 47 CFR 1.2104(g)(1) requires that the percentage of the withdrawn bid to be assessed as an interim bid withdrawal payment be between 3 percent and 20 percent and that it be set in advance of the auction. 52. The Commission has determined that the level of the interim withdrawal payment in a particular auction will be based on the nature of the service and the inventory of the licenses being offered. The Commission has noted that it may impose a higher interim withdrawal payment percentage to deter the anti-competitive use of withdrawals when, for example, bidders likely will not need to aggregate the licenses being offered in the auction, such as when few licenses are offered that are on adjacent frequencies or in adjacent areas, or when there are few synergies to be captured by combining licenses. 53. With respect to the licenses being offered in Auction 92, the opportunities for combining in this auction licenses on adjacent frequencies or in adjacent areas may be limited, so there is likely to be little need to use withdrawals to protect against incomplete aggregations. Therefore, the Bureau proposes to establish the percentage of the withdrawn bid to be assessed as an interim bid withdrawal payment at 15 percent for this auction. The Bureau seeks comment on this proposal. ii. Additional Default Payment Percentage 54. Any winning bidder that defaults or is disqualified after the close of an auction (i.e., fails to remit the required down payment within the prescribed period of time, fails to submit a timely long-form application, fails to make full payment, or is otherwise disqualified) is liable for a default payment under 47 CFR 1.2104(g)(2). 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. 55. The Commission’s rules provide that, in advance of each auction, a percentage shall be established for the additional default payment. This percentage must be between 3 percent and 20 percent of the applicable bid. As the Commission has indicated, the level of this additional payment in each auction will be based on the nature of the service and the inventory of the licenses being offered. PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56. For Auction 92, the Bureau proposes to establish an additional default payment of 15 percent. Given the nature of the service and the inventory of the licenses being offered in Auction 92, the Bureau believes that an additional default payment of 15 percent of the relevant bid will provide a sufficient deterrent to defaults. The Bureau seeks comment on this proposal. IV. Ex Parte Procedures 57. 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-butdisclose proceedings are set forth in 47 CFR 1.1206(b). William W. Huber, Associate Chief, Auctions and Spectrum Access Division, WTB, Federal Communications Commission.
