Revised Filing Deadlines Following Resumption of Normal Commission Operations, 66002-66004 [2013-26256]

Download as PDF 66002 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2013 / Notices TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES when it files its long-form application (FCC Form 601). When initially filing the long-form application, the winning bidder will be required to advise the Commission whether it intends to seek a tribal lands bidding credit, for each license won in the auction, by checking the designated box(es). After stating its intent to seek a tribal lands bidding credit, the applicant will have 180 days from the close of the long-form application filing window to amend its application to select the specific tribal lands to be served and provide the required tribal government certifications. Licensees receiving a tribal lands bidding credit are subject to performance criteria as set forth in 47 CFR 1.2110(f)(3)(vii). 204. For additional information on the tribal lands bidding credit, including how the amount of the credit is calculated, applicants should review the Commission’s rulemaking proceeding regarding tribal lands bidding credits and related public notices. Relevant documents can be viewed on the Commission’s Web site by going to https://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/ and clicking on the Tribal Lands Credits link. F. Default and Disqualification 205. Any winning bidder that defaults or is disqualified after the close of the 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) will be subject to the payments described in 47 CFR 1.2104(g)(2). This payment consists of a deficiency payment, equal to the difference between the amount of the Auction 96 bidder’s winning 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. 206. As noted in the Auction 96 Comment Public Notice, the percentage of the bid that a defaulting bidder must pay in addition to the deficiency will depend on the auction format ultimately chosen for a particular auction. The amount can range from three percent up to a maximum of twenty percent, established in advance of the auction and based on the nature of the service and the inventory of the licenses being offered. Accordingly, the Bureau sought comment in the Auction 96 Comment Public Notice on an appropriate additional default payment percentage in the event it does not conduct Auction 96 with package bidding procedures. As VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:07 Nov 01, 2013 Jkt 232001 the Bureau noted in the Auction 96 Comment Public Notice, the Commission explained in the CSEA/ Part 1 Report and Order that defaults weaken the integrity of the auction process and may impede the deployment of service to the public, and that an additional default payment of up to twenty percent will be more effective in deterring defaults than the three percent used in some earlier auctions. However, as the Bureau further noted, it does not believe the detrimental effects of any defaults in Auction 96 are likely to be unusually great. Balancing these considerations, the Bureau proposed to establish an additional default payment for Auction 96 of fifteen percent of the applicable bid. The Bureau received no specific comments on this proposal, and therefore adopts it for Auction 96. 207. Finally, in the event of a default, the Commission has the discretion to reauction the license or offer it to the next highest bidder (in descending order) at its final bid amount. In addition, if a default or disqualification involves gross misconduct, misrepresentation, or bad faith by an applicant, the Commission may declare the applicant and its principals ineligible to bid in future auctions, and may take any other action that it deems necessary, including institution of proceedings to revoke any existing authorizations held by the applicant. G. Refund of Remaining Upfront Payment Balance 208. After the auction, applicants that are not winning bidders or are winning bidders whose upfront payment exceeded the total net amount of their winning bids may be entitled to a refund of some or all of their upfront payment. All refunds will be returned to the payer of record, as identified on the FCC Form 159, unless the payer submits written authorization instructing otherwise. Bidders should not request a refund of their upfront payments before the Commission releases a public notice declaring the auction closed, identifying the winning bidders, and establishing the deadlines for submitting down payments, long-form applications, and final payments. 209. Bidders are encouraged to file their refund information electronically using the Refund Information icon found on the Auction Application Manager page or through the Wire Transfer for Refund Purposes link available on the Auction Application Submit Confirmation page in the FCC Auction System. If an applicant has completed the refund instructions electronically, the refund will be sent automatically. If an applicant has not PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 completed the refund instructions electronically, the applicant must send a written request. Federal Communications Commission. Gary D.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Lyle, Assistant General Counsel, 202–380–2348. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of the recent government-wide lapse in funding, the Commission suspended normal operations from October 1, 2013 through October 16, 2013, for a total of 16 days. Among other things, the Commission’s filing window, mail room, and all electronic filing systems, with the exception of the Network Outage Reporting System (NORS), were unavailable from October 1, 2013, until October 17, 2013. In addition, many Commission resources normally accessible through the Commission’s Web site, including access to electronic dockets, were inaccessible for the same period. On October 1, 2013, the Commission issued a public notice stating that ‘‘any materials, with the exception of NORS filings, that otherwise would be required to be filed with the Commission (at its headquarters, Gettysburg, PA or U.S. Bank), during the suspension of operations or on the day of return to normal operations, will be due on the business day following the day of return to normal operations.’’ Upon reopening on October 17, 2013, the Commission suspended all Commission filing deadlines that occurred during the shutdown or that will occur on or before October 21, other than NORS filing deadlines, until further notice. This Public Notice supersedes the October 1 and October 17 Public Notices. In addition, Bureaus and Offices may by further Public Notice set additional filing deadlines different than those specified in this Public Notice for filings in specific proceedings or classes of proceedings. Regulatory and Enforcement Filings in General. Because parties did not have access to electronic dockets and other online Commission resources during the suspension of operations, we have determined to further extend the filing deadline for regulatory and enforcement filings, with the exception of NORS filings and certain other specified filings, so as to provide filers with access to Commission resources for the period they would have had absent the suspension of Commission operations. Filings, with the exception of NORS filings and certain other specified VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:07 Nov 01, 2013 Jkt 232001 filings, that were due between October 1 and October 6 will be due on October 22, 2013. Filings, with the exception of NORS filings and certain other specified filings, that were due between October 7 and October 16 will be due 16 days after the original filing date, an extension equivalent to the period of the Commission’s closure. Thus, for example, a filing that would have been due on October 7, will be due on October 23, an extension of 16 days. To the extent the revised due dates for filings under this Public Notice fall on a weekend or other Commission holiday, they will be due on the next business day. Finally, any regulatory and enforcement filings that would otherwise be required to be filed between October 17 and November 4 with the exception of the NORS filings and other specified filings, will be due for filing on November 4, 2013 (which is the first business day following a 16day period after the Commission’s October 17 reopening). To the extent the due dates for filings to which reply or responsive pleadings are allowed are extended by this Public Notice, the due dates for the reply or responsive pleadings are extended by the same number of days. Thus, for example, if comments were originally due on October 30 and reply comments due ten days later, comments would now be due on November 4 and reply comments on November 14. 2014 Modification of Average Schedule Company Universal Service High-Cost Loop Support Formula. In WC Docket No. 05–337, the comment dates set forth in DA 13–1870 are revised as follows: Comments are due by November 4, 2013, and reply comments are due by November 19, 2013.

The comments dates set forth in DA 1948 (rel. Sept. 20, 2013) are revised as follows: Comments due by October 25, 2013, and reply comments are due by November 1, 2013. ULS Applications/Notifications. All ULS applications and notifications filed in accordance with the Commission’s rules (e.g., sections 1.913, 1.946) that were originally due on October 1, 2013, through and including November 4, 2013, are now due on November 4, 2013. We note that ULS is currently available and encourage applicants and licensees to file any applications and notifications as soon as practicable. Please see https://www.fcc.gov/help/ulsinstructions-revised-filing-deadlines for information about filing requirements for these applications and notifications. Vanity Call Sign Requests. During the period that the Commission was closed, ULS was not available for Amateur Radio Service licensees to file an application to modify their license grants to show a vanity call sign. Ordinarily, vanity call sign applications are processed on a day-by-day basis, with a random selection procedure used to determine the processing order for applications filed on the same day. In order to accommodate the orderly resumption of business, however, vanity call sign applications filed via ULS between October 17 and October 22 will all be processed as if they were filed on October 22, 2013. In addition, any vanity call sign applications that were filed by mail between October 1 and October 22, 2013 also will be treated as if they were filed on October 22, 2013. Petitions for Reconsideration. The Commission cannot waive statutory filing deadlines such as those associated with petitions for reconsideration. Nonetheless, because of the disruption and uncertainty associated with the suspension of Commission activities and the relaunch of Commission filing systems, we will not consider the Commission open for filing of documents with statutory deadlines until Tuesday, October 22, 2013. STAs. Any STAs expiring between October 1, 2013 and October 22, 2013 are extended until November 4, 2013. For these purposes, Section 1.4(j) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.4(j), otherwise requiring filings to be made on the first business day of resumed Commission operations, is hereby waived.

Counsel, 202-380-2348.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of the recent government-wide 
lapse in funding, the Commission suspended normal operations from 
October 1, 2013 through October 16, 2013, for a total of 16 days. Among 
other things, the Commission's filing window, mail room, and all 
electronic filing systems, with the exception of the Network Outage 
Reporting System (NORS), were unavailable from October 1, 2013, until 
October 17, 2013. In addition, many Commission resources normally 
accessible through the Commission's Web site, including access to 
electronic dockets, were inaccessible for the same period.
    On October 1, 2013, the Commission issued a public notice stating 
that ``any materials, with the exception of NORS filings, that 
otherwise would be required to be filed with the Commission (at its 
headquarters, Gettysburg, PA or U.S. Bank), during the suspension of 
operations or on the day of return to normal operations, will be due on 
the business day following the day of return to normal operations.'' 
Upon reopening on October 17, 2013, the Commission suspended all 
Commission filing deadlines that occurred during the shutdown or that 
will occur on or before October 21, other than NORS filing deadlines, 
until further notice. This Public Notice supersedes the October 1 and 
October 17 Public Notices. In addition, Bureaus and Offices may by 
further Public Notice set additional filing deadlines different than 
those specified in this Public Notice for filings in specific 
proceedings or classes of proceedings.
    Regulatory and Enforcement Filings in General. Because parties did 
not have access to electronic dockets and other online Commission 
resources during the suspension of operations, we have determined to 
further extend the filing deadline for regulatory and enforcement 
filings, with the exception of NORS filings and certain other specified 
filings, so as to provide filers with access to Commission resources 
for the period they would have had absent the suspension of Commission 
operations. Filings, with the exception of NORS filings and certain 
other specified filings, that were due between October 1 and October 6 
will be due on October 22, 2013. Filings, with the exception of NORS 
filings and certain other specified filings, that were due between 
October 7 and October 16 will be due 16 days after the original filing 
date, an extension equivalent to the period of the Commission's 
closure. Thus, for example, a filing that would have been due on 
October 7, will be due on October 23, an extension of 16 days. To the 
extent the revised due dates for filings under this Public Notice fall 
on a weekend or other Commission holiday, they will be due on the next 
business day. Finally, any regulatory and enforcement filings that 
would otherwise be required to be filed between October 17 and November 
4 with the exception of the NORS filings and other specified filings, 
will be due for filing on November 4, 2013 (which is the first business 
day following a 16-day period after the Commission's October 17 
reopening).
    To the extent the due dates for filings to which reply or 
responsive pleadings are allowed are extended by this Public Notice, 
the due dates for the reply or responsive pleadings are extended by the 
same number of days. Thus, for example, if comments were originally due 
on October 30 and reply comments due ten days later, comments would now 
be due on November 4 and reply comments on November 14.
    2014 Modification of Average Schedule Company Universal Service 
High-Cost Loop Support Formula. In WC Docket No. 05-337, the comment 
dates set forth in DA 13-1870 are revised as follows: Comments are due 
by November 4, 2013, and reply comments are due by November 19, 2013.
    Domestic Section 214 Transfer of Control Applications. On October 
1, 2013, the Commission issued a Public Notice (DA 13-2020) for 
domestic section 214 transfer of control applications WC Docket Nos. 
13-223, 13-228, 13-235, 13-237 stating that comments addressing the 
applications would be due on the next business day after the Commission 
re-opens. This Public Notice supersedes the October 1, 2013, section 
214 Public Notice. Comments are due October 22, 2013. Reply comments 
for domestic section 214 transfer of control applications will be due 
on October 29, 2013.
    DISH Network Corporation Petition for Waiver and Request for 
Extension of Time, WT Docket No. 13-225. The date for filing reply 
comments set forth in DA 13-1877 is revised to October 28, 2013.
    Verizon Communications, Inc.; Petition for Declaratory Ruling under 
Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, as Amended, IB Docket No.

are revised as follows: Comments due by October 25, 2013, and reply 
comments are due by November 1, 2013.
    ULS Applications/Notifications. All ULS applications and 
notifications filed in accordance with the Commission's rules (e.g., 
sections 1.913, 1.946) that were originally due on October 1, 2013, 
through and including November 4, 2013, are now due on November 4, 
2013. We note that ULS is currently available and encourage applicants 
and licensees to file any applications and notifications as soon as 
practicable. Please see https://www.fcc.gov/help/uls-instructions-revised-filing-deadlines for information about filing requirements for 
these applications and notifications.
    Vanity Call Sign Requests. During the period that the Commission 
was closed, ULS was not available for Amateur Radio Service licensees 
to file an application to modify their license grants to show a vanity 
call sign. Ordinarily, vanity call sign applications are processed on a 
day-by-day basis, with a random selection procedure used to determine 
the processing order for applications filed on the same day. In order 
to accommodate the orderly resumption of business, however, vanity call 
sign applications filed via ULS between October 17 and October 22 will 
all be processed as if they were filed on October 22, 2013. In 
addition, any vanity call sign applications that were filed by mail 
between October 1 and October 22, 2013 also will be treated as if they 
were filed on October 22, 2013.
    Petitions for Reconsideration. The Commission cannot waive 
statutory filing deadlines such as those associated with petitions for 
reconsideration. Nonetheless, because of the disruption and uncertainty 
associated with the suspension of Commission activities and the 
relaunch of Commission filing systems, we will not consider the 
Commission open for filing of documents with statutory deadlines until 
Tuesday, October 22, 2013.
    STAs. Any STAs expiring between October 1, 2013 and October 22, 
2013 are extended until November 4, 2013.
    For these purposes, Section 1.4(j) of the Commission's rules, 47 
CFR 1.4(j), otherwise requiring filings to be made on the first 
business day of resumed Commission operations, is hereby waived.
