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.
