The prohibited communication reporting requirement required of covered parties will enable the Commission to ensure that no bidder gains an unfair advantage over other bidders in its auctions and thus enhances the competitiveness and fairness of Commission’s auctions.

The Commission may also refer allegations of anticompetitive auction conduct to the Department of Justice for investigation. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.
