The FCC will provide one copy free of charge. Additional copies may be ordered at a cost of $16.00 each, including postage, payable by Visa or Master Card, or by check payable to "Federal Communications Commission" or "FCC." To place an order, please contact the FCC Wireless Consumer Assistance Branch at 8003221117. Prospective bidders who have already contacted the Branch since June 15, 1996, requesting Bidder Information Packages for this auction will receive a Package no later than July 12, 1996, and need not call again unless they wish to order additional copies. Bidders who do not receive their Packages should contact the Branch.  Participation:  Those wishing to participate in the auction must submit a shortform application on FCC Form 175. The FCC Form 175 must be completed and filed in accordance with the Commission's rules and the instructions provided in this public notice, and must be received at the Commission's Gettysburg office no later than 5:30 p.m. EDT on Monday, July 29, 1996 .    XH ЊApplicants are strongly encouraged to file their FCC Form 175 electronically, although manual filing (via hard copy) will be permitted. Electronic filing enables applicants to receive interactive feedback while completing the application, and immediate acknowledgment that the FCC Form 175 has been submitted for filing. In addition, only those applicants who file applications electronically will have the option of bidding either electronically or telephonically ; applicants who file their applications manually will be permitted to bid only telephonically. General filing information and detailed instructions regarding electronic filing are set forth in Attachments B and C. Applicants whose FCC Form 175s are accepted will be required to submit an upfront payment and an FCC Remittance Advice (FCC Form 159). The upfront payment must be made in U.S. dollars by wire transfer or cashier's check. Payments submitted by wire transfer must be received at Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, no later than Monday, August 12, 1996, at 6:00 p.m. EDT . Payments made by cashier's check must be received at Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh no later than Monday, August 12, 1996, at 11:59 p.m. EDT . NOTE: No other form of payment will be accepted. Applicants should note the eligibility requirements for bidding in this auction, especially for the entrepreneurs' F block, as well as the special financial provisions offered Fblock bidders. The F frequency block is designated an "entrepreneurs' block" and has an additional eligibility requirement based on the applicant's financial size, which is not applicable to the D and E blocks. These topics are summarized in Part 2 below.  Prohibition of Collusion:  To ensure competitiveness of the auction process, the FCC's rules prohibit applicants for the same BTA areas from communicating with each other during the auction about bids, bidding strategies or settlements. This prohibition begins with the filing of shortform applications, and ends when winning bidders submit down payments. The only exception is where applicants enter into a bidding agreement before filing their shortform applications, and disclose the existence of the agreement in the shortform application. See 47 C.F.R.  1.2105(c).  Relevant Authority:  Prospective bidders should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the FCC's rules relating to the Personal Communications Services, contained in Title 47, Part 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and relating to application and auction procedures, contained in Title 47, Part 1. Prospective bidders should also be thoroughly familiar with the procedures, terms and conditions (collectively, "Terms") contained in the Second Report and Order in PP Docket No. 93253, 9 FCC Rcd 2348 (1994); Second Memorandum Opinion and Order in PP Docket No. 93253, 9 FCC Rcd 7245 (1994); the Erratum to the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order in PP Docket No. 93253 (Oct. 19, 1994); Fifth Report and Order, in PP Docket No. 93253, 9 FCC Rcd 5532 (1994); Fifth Memorandum Opinion and Order in PP Docket 93253, 10 FCC Rcd 403 (1994), erratum, 60 Fed. Reg. 5333 (Jan. 27, 1995); and the Report and Order in WT Docket No. 9659, FCC 96278 (released June 24, 1996) (DEF Report and Order) (collectively referred to as "the Relevant Orders"). The Terms contained in the FCC's rules, the Relevant Orders, this public notice, and in the Bidder Information Package are not negotiable. Prospective bidders should review these auction documents thoroughly prior to the auction to make certain that they understand all of the provisions and are willing to be bound by all of the Terms before participating in the auction. Potential bidders should also be aware that petitions for reconsideration of the FCC's actions in the DEF Report and Order may be filed, and that those of the Terms adopted therein are therefore subject to change upon reconsideration or appeal. The Commission may amend or supplement the information contained in this public notice and in the Bidder Information Package at any time. The FCC will issue public notices to convey new or supplemental information to bidders. It is the responsibility of all prospective bidders to remain current with all FCC rules and with all public notices pertaining to this auction. Copies of FCC documents, including public notices, may be obtained for a fee by calling the Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., at 2028573800. Additionally, many documents can be retrieved from the FCC Internet node via anonymous ftp@ftp.fcc.gov or the FCC World Wide Web site at http://www.fcc.gov.  Bidder Alerts:  All applicants must certify under penalty of perjury on their FCC Form 175 applications that they are legally, technically, financially and otherwise qualified to hold a license. Prospective bidders are reminded that submission of a false certification to the Commission is a serious matter that may result in severe penalties, including monetary forfeitures, license revocations, exclusion from participation in future auctions, and/or criminal prosecution. As is the case with many business investment opportunities, some unscrupulous entrepreneurs may attempt to use the PCS auctions to deceive and defraud unsuspecting investors. Common warning signals of fraud include the following:  ` ` ` The first contact is a "cold call" from a telemarketer, or is made in response to an inquiry prompted by a radio or television infomercial.  ` ` ` The offering materials used to invest in the venture appear to be targeted at IRA funds, for example by including all documents and papers needed for the transfer of funds maintained in IRA accounts.  ` ` ` The amount of the minimum investment is less than $25,000.  ` ` ` The sales representative makes verbal representations that (a) the IRS, FTC, SEC, FCC, or other government agency has approved the investment; (b) the investment is not subject to state or federal securities laws; or (c) the investment will yield unrealistically high shortterm profits. In addition, the offering materials often include copies of actual FCC releases, or quotes from FCC personnel, giving the appearance of FCC knowledge or approval of the solicitation.  The Commission does not approve any individual investment proposal, nor does it provide a warranty with respect to any license being auctioned. Potential applicants and investors are reminded that winning a broadband PCS license in this auction is not a guarantee of success in the marketplace. Information about deceptive telemarketing investment schemes is available from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at 2023262222 and from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at 2029427040. Complaints about specific deceptive telemarketing investment schemes should be directed to the FTC, the SEC, or the National Fraud Information Center at 8008767060. Consumers who have concerns about specific PCS investment proposals may also call the FCC Wireless Consumer Assistance Branch at 8003221117.  2. BIDDER ELIGIBILITY AND SMALL BUSINESS PROVISIONS Đ A. General Eligibility Criteria As described in Part 1 above, this auction offers three 10 MHz blocks of broadband PCS spectrum in each of 493 BTA and BTAlike areas. 47 C.F.R.  24.12 and 24.404 set out eligibility requirements for all three spectrum blocks. (NOTE: The F block has an additional eligibility requirement based on the applicant's financial size, which is not applicable to the D and E blocks; this Fblock requirement is summarized in Part 2.B below.) Prospective bidders should note a recent change in the FCC's rules relaxing certain restrictions on the ownership of conventional cellular and PCS spectrum in the same geographic area. See paras. 86132 of the DEF Report and Order. However, 47 C.F.R.  20.6 still limits to 45 MHz the total Commercial Mobile Radio Service spectrum (i.e., broadband PCS, cellular and Specialized Mobile Radio services) in which a party may have an attributable interest in any geographic area at any point in time. Bidders that qualify as rural telephone companies (rural telcos) under 47 C.F.R.  24.720(e) will be permitted to acquire partitioned licenses by either: (a) forming bidding consortia and then partitioning the license among consortia participants, or (b) acquiring a partitioned license through private negotiations or agreements. See 47 C.F.R.  24.714 and 24.720(e). B. Eligibility to Bid on FBlock Licenses  (1) Definition of entrepreneur To bid on an Fblock license, an applicant must qualify as an entrepreneur . For this purpose, 47 C.F.R.  24.709(a) defines an entrepreneur as an applicant that, including its affiliates, its owners, and its owners' affiliates, has:  ` ` ` gross revenues of less than $125 million in each of the last two years, and  ` ` ` total assets of less than $500 million at the time the FCC Form 175 application is filed.  (2) Determination of revenues and assets .The general rule is that the gross revenues and total assets of the applicant, its affiliates, its owners and its owners' affiliates are considered for purposes of determining whether the applicant meets our financial caps. Under 47 C.F.R.  24.720(l), an individual or entity is an affiliate of an applicant or of a person holding an attributable interest in an applicant when the individual or entity:  ` ` ` has the power to directly or indirectly control the applicant; or ` ` ` is directly or indirectly controlled by the applicant; or  ` ` ` is directly or indirectly controlled by the applicant's attributable investors or vice versa; or  ` ` ` has an "identity of interest" with the applicant. However, 47 C.F.R.  24.709 and 74.720 provide several exceptions to this general rule: ` ` (a) If an applicant is a consortium of small businesses , the gross revenues and total assets of each small business are analyzed separately, rather than being aggregated, for purposes of determining financial eligibility. ` ` (b) Where the applicant is a publiclytraded corporation with widely dispersed voting power , the gross revenues and total assets of investors in the applicant, and their affiliates, are not considered for purposes of determining whether the applicant meets the financial caps. ` ` (c) We do not consider Indian tribes or Alaska Regional or Village Corporations organized pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, 25 U.S.C.  2701 et seq., to be affiliates of an applicant that is owned and controlled by such tribes, corporations or entities. However, gross revenues derived from gaming activities are included in determining financial eligibility unless the applicant shows that there are significant legal constraints on its ability to access these revenues. ` ` (d) We do not consider the gross revenues and assets of investors (together with their affiliates) that hold nonattributable equity interests in the applicant if the applicant has identified a control group that: ` h!`` `   owns at least 50.1 percent of the applicant's voting stock (if a corporation), or all of the applicant's general partnership interests (if a partnership); and ` `   is itself controlled by qualifying investors (i.e., small or entrepreneurial entities) that hold at least 50.1 percent of the voting stock and all general partnership interests within the control group; and ` `   conforms to one of the following two equity structures ` ` ` (1) 25 percent equity option : The members of the control group must hold at least 25 percent of the applicant's total equity. Of this, at least 15 percent must be held by qualifying investors, and the remainder may be held by qualifying investors and/or by certain noncontrolling investors identified in our rules. That portion of the applicant's equity outside the control group may be held by other noncontrolling investors, but no investor in the applicant can hold more than 25 percent of the equity and remain nonattributable. (A variation of this equity structure, available to any applicant whose sole control group member is a preexisting entity under our rules, allows qualifying investors in the control group to hold at least 10 percent of the applicant's equity and certain noncontrolling investors to hold the remainder of the control group equity.) ` ` ` (2) 50.1 percent equity test : The members of the control group must hold at least 50.1 percent of the applicant's total equity. Of this, at least 30 percent must be held by qualifying investors, and the remainder may be held by qualifying investors and/or by certain noncontrolling investors identified in our rules. That portion of the applicant's equity outside the control group may be held by other noncontrolling investors who are considered nonattributable. (A variation of this equity structure, available to any applicant whose sole control group member is a preexisting entity under our rules, allows qualifying investors in the control group to hold at least 20 percent of the applicant's equity and certain noncontrolling investors to hold the remainder of the control group equity.) ` ` (e) The value of Cblock licenses are not included as assets for purposes of qualifying as Fblock bidders. (However, the value of other licenses2such as Specialized Mobile Radio, narrowband PCS, broadband PCS A and B blocks, and cellular2are included in asset calculations.) NOTE: The FCC's rules contain an additional exception which in some cases permits Cblock applicants to exclude the revenues and assets of affiliates that would independently qualify as entrepreneurs. The Commission recently concluded that this exception would not be available for the F block. See DEF Report and Order at paras. 2836. Cblock applicants that wish to apply for Fblock licenses should ensure that they qualify under one of the tests applicable to Fblock licenses, as described above, and do not rely on this inapplicable Cblock exception.  (3) Entrepreneurs' block license limit No applicant may be deemed the winning bidder of more than 98 of the total licenses available for PCS broadband frequency blocks C and F. See 47 C.F.R.  24.710, and Part 4.B(4) below.   (4) Application showing Applicants should note that they will be required to file supporting documentation to establish that they satisfy the eligibility requirements for this auction, and are subject to audits to confirm their eligibility. See 47 C.F.R.  24.709(c) and (d).  (5) Holding period To deter shams and fronts, and to prevent abuse of the special financial provisions described below, Fblock licenses may not be voluntarily transferred or assigned within the first five years except to entities that qualify as an entrepreneur. See 47 C.F.R.  24.839(d). C. FBlock Financial Provisions  (1) General Qualifying Fblock applicants are eligible for two special financial provisions: bidding credits and installment payments. (2) Bidding credits The size of an Fblock bidding credit depends on the annual gross revenues of the bidder and its affiliates, as averaged over the preceding three calendar years:  ` ` ` A bidder with gross annual revenues of not more than $15 million receives a 25percent discount on its winning bids for Fblock licenses, and  ` ` ` A bidder with gross annual revenues of not more than $40 million receives a 15percent discount. The definitions required for calculating gross annual revenues are set out in 47 C.F.R.  24.720(b), (f) and (l). These bidding credits are not cumulative.  (3) Installment payments Upon issuance of their Fblock BTA licenses, winning bidders may elect to pay the balance of their net winning bids (actual bids less the applicable bidding credits) in quarterly installments over ten years. See 47 C.F.R.  24.716. The installment plans differ depending on the licensee's gross revenues in each of the two preceding years (calculated based on 47 C.F.R.  24.709(a)(2), 24.709(b) and 24.720(f)):  ` ` ` For licensees with annual revenues of not more than $40 million2 ` `  0 Interest is based on the rate for tenyear U.S. Treasury obligations at the time the BTA license is issued; ` `  0 Interestonly payments may be made for the first two years after the license is issued; and ` `  0 Payments must amortize principal and interest over the next eight years.  ` ` ` For licensees with annual revenues between $40 and $75 million2 ` `  0 Interest is based on the rate for tenyear U.S. Treasury obligations at the time the BTA license is issued, plus 2.50 percent; ` `  0 Interestonly payments may be made for the first year after the license is issued; and ` `  0 Payments must amortize principal and interest over the next nine years.  ` ` ` For licensees with annual revenues of more than $75 million2 ` `  0 Interest is based on the rate for tenyear U.S. Treasury obligation at the time the BTA license is issued, plus 3.50 percent; and ` `  0 Payments must amortize principal and interest over ten years.  (4) Unjust enrichment Fblock winning bidders should note that unjust enrichment provisions apply to winning bidders that use bidding credits or installment financing and subsequently assign or transfer control of their BTA licenses to an entity not qualifying for the special financial provisions. See 47 C.F.R.  24.716(d) and 24.717(d).  3. PREAUCTION PROCEDURES A. ShortForm Application (FCC Form 175 ) 2 Due Monday, July 29, 1996 In order to be eligible to bid in this auction, applicants must first submit an FCC Form 175 application to the Commission. This application must be received at the Commission's Gettysburg office by 5:30 p.m. EDT on Monday, July 29, 1996. Late applications will not be accepted. There is no application fee required when filing a FCC Form 175. However, to be eligible to bid, an applicant will have to submit an upfront payment. See Part 3.C below.  (1) Filing options Auction applicants are strongly encouraged to file their applications electronically, in order to take advantage of the greater efficiencies and convenience of electronic filing, bidding and access to bidding data. For example, electronic filing enables the applicant to: (a) receive interactive feedback while completing the application, and (b) receive immediate acknowledgment that the FCC Form 175 has been submitted for filing. In addition, only those applicants that file electronically will have the option of bidding electronically. However, manual filing (via hard copy) is also permitted. Please note that manual filers will not be permitted to bid electronically. The following is a brief description of each filing method. Xe` h x (#%'0*,.8135@8:
