SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. By this Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, adopted on February 28,
2011 and released on March 3, 2011, we
seek to clarify the rules on the payment
of filing fees by winning bidders in
auctions of construction permits in the
broadcast services in conjunction with
their long-form applications. In the
Broadcast Competitive Bidding First
Report and Order, the Commission
required the filing of application fees in
such cases, and section 1.1104, the
Schedule of Charges for Media Bureau
Service filings, requires the payment of
a fee when the long-form application is
filed.1 However, section 1.2107(c) of the
rules provides with regard to the filing
of long-form applications by winning
bidders in auctions that,
‘‘Notwithstanding any other provision in
Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to the contrary, high
bidders need not submit an additional
application filing fee with their longform applications.’’ 2 To resolve any

propose to amend section 1.2107(c) by
revising the cited sentence to read as
follows: ‘‘Except as otherwise provided
in section 1.1104 of the rules, high
bidders need not submit an additional
application fee with their long-form

proposal.
