"0*(("Ԍx11. In this vein, we also reject Two Way Radio's alternative request that it be entitled to a more favorable installment payment plan. The installment payment plan, which a bidder is entitled to receive based upon its designated entity status, affects the bidder's valuation of the license and its bids and, consequently, the bids of other bidders during an auction. Thus, making a postauction change to Two Way Radio's installment payment plan is unfair to other bidders in the auction and would compromise the integrity of the competitive bidding process.  X_-x12. Finally, we believe that the 42day period within which to prepare and file applications for this auction provided adequate time to review financial records. Two Way Radio contends there were actually 34 days, and not 42, to prepare and file applications based  X -upon the date of publication of the Public Notice in the Federal Register.i  {O}-x#X\  P6G;ɓP#э Id. at 8.i We find that even 34 days is sufficient time to prepare and file applications and is consistent with the filing  X -windows in other proceedings.[Z D {O-  {x#X\  P6G;ɓP#э See, e.g., June 26, 1996, Public Notice announcing August 1, 1996, application deadline for the  xBroadband Personal Communications Service (D, E and F Blocks) auction (Report No. AUC9611A, Auction No. 11).[ Applicants are responsible for the correctness and completeness of their applications.

On balance, we believe that ensuring the integrity of the competitive bidding process outweighs the financial burdens Two Way Radio may bear as a result of its own filing error. "yP 0*((K"  X-  V. Conclusion and Ordering Clause ă x13. For the reasons stated above, we find that Two Way Radio has failed to show that it is entitled to the relief it requests and, thus, we find that the Division was correct in denying Two Way Radio's Waiver Request. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Two Way Radio of Carolina, Inc. IS DENIED.
