S8-x3.` ` The Commission decided in the C Block Second Report and Order (as modified by the  S-C Block Reconsideration Order) to allow each C block licensee to elect one of four options for each of its licenses: resumption of payments under the licensee's original installment payment plan, disaggregation, amnesty, or prepayment. The array of choices was intended to provide limited relief  S-to financially troubled licensees without harming the integrity of the auction process.  g  {O-ԍxSee Second Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 16,43738 para. 2 and 16,44446 paras. 1517. The Commission required C block licensees to file a written election notice, specifying whether they would resume payments under the terms of the original installment payment plan or would proceed under one  S$ -of the alternative options. ^$ \ g  {O -ԍxSee C Block Second Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 16,47076 paras. 7076; C Block Reconsideration  {O-Order at para. 6165; and "Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces June 8, 1998 Election Date for  {O-Broadband PCS C Block Licensees," Public Notice, DA 98741 (released April 17, 1998).

The language of the C Block Second Report  {O-and Order suggests that there will be a single C block reauction; however, for reasons discussed below, we now anticipate that there could be more than one reauction.Y The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (the "Bureau") announced by public notice on April 17, 1998 an election date of June 8, 1998  S -and a payment resumption date for C block licensees of July 31, 1998.  g  {O"-ԍxSee "Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces June 8, 1998 Election Date for Broadband PCS C  {O#-Block Licensees," Public Notice, DA 98741 (released April 17, 1998).

LICENSES TO BE REAUCTIONED ĐTP  S - A.xBackground  S -x5.` ` In the C Block Further Notice, the Commission proposed that it reauction: (1) all licenses representing C block spectrum returned pursuant to the disaggregation, prepayment, or  Sb-amnesty options; and (2) all C block licenses held as a result of defaults.mbFg  {OH!-ԍxC Block Further Notice, 12 FCC Rcd at 16,474 para. 83.m The Commission believed that including all available licenses in a reauction would allow it fairly and efficiently to facilitate the":0*%%ZZ" rapid provision of service to the public and also would allow for the most efficient aggregation of  S-licenses.:g  {O@-ԍxId.:  S- B.xDiscussion  S8-x6.` ` We adopt the Commission's proposal in the C Block Further Notice to reauction all available C block licenses held by the Commission. Several commenters agree, and no commenter  S-disagrees, with this proposal.Zg  {O -ԍxSee AirGate Comments at 2, 3; Conestoga Comments at 7; Duluth Comments at 1; NextWave Comments at 1, 2; Starcom Comments at 1; Airgate Reply at 2; and NextWave Reply at 12. Our recent modifications to the C block payment options in the C  S-Block Reconsideration Order provide no reason to deviate from this basic approach. Any C block license that becomes available for reauction after the next C block reauction will be reauctioned in a subsequent reauction as soon as practicable.  S& -x7.` ` NatTel, Starcom, and CPCSI argue that the next reauction should include licenses  S -owned by entities that have filed for bankruptcy protection.w g  yOR-ԍxNatTel Comments at 28; Starcom Comments at 1; and CPCSI Reply at 13.w CPCSI maintains that if licenses held by C block bankruptcy petitioners are excluded from the next reauction, the uncertainty surrounding the  S -fate of those licenses will make business planning difficult for other C block entities.D Dg  yO-ԍxCPCSI Reply at 23.D NatTel urges the Commission to amend its rules in order to be able to revoke automatically the licenses of licensees  S^-that have declared bankruptcy.H^g  yO-ԍxNatTel Comments at 68.H  S-x8.` ` In the Part 1 Third Report and Order, we addressed the issue of whether the Commission can immediately reclaim and reauction licenses held by a licensee that declares  S-bankruptcy.qd g  {O-ԍxPart 1 Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 398 para. 39.q As we stated there, we are confident of our position that the Commission can reclaim licenses quickly since the Commission conditions licenses upon payment and requires automatic  Sp-cancellation in the event of nonpayment.:p g  {O -ԍxId.: Nevertheless, until controlling precedent is established by the courts, or legislation addressing conflicting rights is enacted, a delay in the reauction of licenses in  S -bankruptcy litigation may occur.ZB  g  {OH#-ԍxId.; see also FCC Report to Congress on Spectrum Auctions, WT Docket No. 97150, Report, FCC 97353 (released October 9, 1997) at 39 (recommending that Congress clarify that FCC licensees that default on their installment payments may not use bankruptcy litigation to refuse to relinquish their spectrum licenses for"$0*%%$" reauction); Statement of Dan Phythyon, Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Before the Subcommittee on Communications, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, on Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Oversight (May 13, 1998) (asking that Congress act to protect spectrum licenses from being held captive by bankruptcy delays); and Third Annual Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS)  {O-Competition Report, Report No. WT 9813, Third Report, FCC 9891 (released June 11, 1998) at Separate Statement of Chairman William E. Kennard (suggesting that Commission should work with Congress to eliminate regulatory obstacles to the development of wireless communications services posed by bankruptcy delays). The pendency of bankruptcy proceedings involving certain C block" 0*%%ZZb"  S-licenses9\g  {Or -ԍxIn re GWI PCS1, Inc., No. 39739676SAF11 (Bankr. N.D.Tex.

S.D.N.Y.).9 makes it impossible for us to resolve at this time whether those licenses will be available in the next C block reauction. We do not intend, however, to delay a reauction of other available C block licenses because of such litigation. Such a delay easily could become the first in an interminable series of delays, undermining our primary goal of getting licenses into the hands of parties that will provide service to the public and competition in the market. For this reason, we believe that the public will realize a greater benefit if we auction all available C block spectrum as soon as practicable than it will if we postpone a reauction until we have resolved all issues connected with every bankruptcy proceeding. Licenses made available in any bankruptcy proceeding will be included in the next appropriate reauction.  Sp-x9.` ` CPCSI asks that the Commission also address the issue of whether a reauction will additionally encompass licenses, such as those won by CPCSI, that are the subject of petitions pending  S -before the Commission.k g  {O-ԍxCPCSI Comments at 910; see also CPCSI Reply at 35.k Because the Commission granted CPCSI's application for review on  S -December 24, 1997,T\ g  {O -ԍxSee Carolina PCS I Limited Partnership Request for Waiver of Section 24.711(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules Regarding BTA Nos.

Accordingly, we will apply the Part 1 rules, as amended. The Bureau will announce by public notice the deadline for petitions to deny. As discussed in the  S( -Part 1 Third Report and Order, in order to preserve the integrity of the auction process, it is important to use an indicator of potential licensees' financial capability to attract capital to build out and operate systems. We believe that the use of one substantial down payment is a necessary tool to gauge an  S -applicant's financial viability, its seriousness in building its system, and the likelihood of default.[ Zr {O"-ԍxSee id., 13 FCC Rcd at 427 para. 90.[ " 0*%%ZZz "  S-For these reasons, we repeal the Part 24 C block rules on down payment and full payment.Wr {Oh-ԍxSee 47 C.F.R.  24.711(a)(2).W Pursuant to the same rationale, we also repeal the Part 24 F block rules on down payment and full  S-payment.QZr {O-ԍxSee id.  24.716(a)(2).Q  S`-`  (#%'0*,.8135@8:; see also 47 C.F.R.  24.720. In order to ensure the integrity of C block  S-reauctions, the Commission retains the eligibility restriction established in the C Block Second Report  Sr-and Order, as modified in the C Block Reconsideration Order, for licensees that surrender licenses pursuant to the disaggregation, prepayment, and/or "amnesty/prepayment" options. Such licensees will be ineligible to reacquire their surrendered licenses through reauction or by any other means for a  S -period of two years from the start date of the next C block reauction.\ r {OP-ԍxC Block Reconsideration Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 8360 para. 37, 836061 para. 38, 836162 para. 41, and 8367 para. 50. Licensees that surrender licenses pursuant to the "pure amnesty" option will remain eligible to  {O-reacquire those surrendered licenses in a reauction or through a secondary market transaction. Id. at para. 37. xTo further ensure auction integrity for the benefit of applicants as well as the general public, the Commission will restrict C block reauctions to entities not in default on any Commission debt and not delinquent on any nontax debt owed to any Federal agency. However, the Commission believes that past business misfortunes do not inevitably preclude an entity from being able to meet its present and future responsibilities as a Commission licensee. Therefore, the Commission will allow "former defaulters," i.e., applicants that have defaulted or been delinquent in the past, but have since paid all of their outstanding nonInternal Revenue Service Federal debts and all associated charges or penalties, to be eligible to participate in C block reauctions, provided that they are otherwise qualified.  SD-xIn the Part 1 Third Report and Order,\Dr yO-ԍxAmendment of Part 1 of the Commission's Rules Competitive Bidding Procedures, WT Docket No.  {O-9782,Third Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 13 FCC Rcd 374 (released  {ON-December 31, 1997) ("Part 1 Third Report and Order" and "Part 1 Further Notice"). the Commission adopted general competitive bidding rules to supplant, wherever practicable, specific auction rules for each auctionable service or class of service. Accordingly, future C block reauctions will adhere to Part 1 rules, insofar as applicable. Part 1 rules are determinative for the following aspects of C block reauctions: competitive bidding design; activity rules; reserve price, minimum opening bid, and minimum bid increments; electronic filing; upfront payment; down payment and full payment; amendments and modifications of applications; bid withdrawal, default, and disqualification; anticollusion, and installment payment financing. Based"V* 0*%%ZZ" upon the record in this proceeding, the Commission sets a ceiling for minimum opening bids that is no more than ten percent of the amount of the net high bid for the corresponding market in the original C block auction. The Commission also sets the upfront payment amount for the next C block reauction at no higher than $.06 per MHz per pop. The Commission will require that the upfront payment for "former defaulters" be 50 percent more than that required from applicants that do not have a history of default. This increased upfront payment formula reflects the increased risk associated with these parties.  S-xIn the Part 1 Third Report and Order, the Commission adopted a schedule of bidding credits to be used in future auctions for all services. Applying the Part 1 schedule to the gross revenue thresholds under the Part 24 rules for small and very small C block and F block businesses, gives small business applicants in C block reauctions a fifteen percent bidding credit and very small business applicants a twentyfive percent bidding credit. Eligibility for bidding credits will be determined by the size of the applicant as of the deadline for filing shortform applications. xSection 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, directs the Commission to disseminate licenses among a wide variety of applicants, including small businesses and other  SZ-designated entities.tZr yO-ԍx#X\  P6G;ɒP#47 U.S.C.  309(j)(3)(B).t Section 309(j) also requires that the Commission ensure the development and rapid deployment of new technologies, products, and services for the benefit of the public, and recover for the public a portion of the value of the public spectrum resource made available for commercial  S-use.yXr {O-ԍx#X\  P6G;ɒP#Id.  309(j)(3)(A), (C).y The Commission believes that the C Block Fourth Report and Order promotes these goals while maintaining the fair and efficient execution of the auctions program.
