Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 57086 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 180 / Monday, September 17, 2012 / Notices road miles for certain of the eligible census blocks, and as a result the Bureaus have reviewed their procedures for calculating road miles. The Bureaus’ review indicates that the previouslyposted files overstated the eligible road miles in certain cases. Newly-calculated files are available on the Auction 901 Web site (https://wireless.fcc.gov/ auctions/901/) via the link for ‘‘Attachment A Files.’’ 4. Based on the Bureaus’ review, they have determined that the overstatement resulted from an error in processing the relevant census data files relating to road miles. By way of background, as stated in the Auction 901 Comment Public Notice, 77 FR 7152, February 10, 2012, in calculating the number of road miles associated with each eligible census block, the Bureaus used the sum of linear road miles within the block plus half of the sum of linear road miles that form a border with an adjacent block. The Bureaus included half of the sum of the border roads so these linear miles are not double counted and are appropriately attributed to each eligible block. In order to make this calculation, they considered data in census TIGER files that defines census block borders, other geographic borders, and linear features such as roads. Due to an error in joining these data files, the Bureaus’ previous files overstated the calculation of road miles within certain census blocks. 5. The Bureaus’ review also indicated that, based on the different ways in which various software treats fractions, the Bureaus could improve the consistency of their data by standardizing their rounding procedures. So the Bureaus now round all road mile numbers to hundredths of miles (two decimal places). As a result, the road mile figures in some cases may be slightly different than the previouslyreleased data due to the new rounding procedures. 6. The Bureaus also reschedule the upcoming mock auction for Auction 901. The mock auction, initially scheduled for September 25, 2012, will instead take place on September 21, 2012. The mock auction will enable qualified bidders to become familiar with the FCC Auction System and to practice submitting bids. Auction 901 will proceed as scheduled on Thursday, September 27, 2012. Consistent with its usual practice, the Commission intends to announce qualified bidders and distribute registration materials by overnight mail approximately ten days before the auction. All other previouslyannounced auction procedures and requirements remain the same. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:43 Sep 14, 2012 Jkt 226001 Federal Communications Commission. Gary D.
