In this Public Notice, the staff provides guidance on a range of issues involving the  X4rules for the LMDS auction. The service and auction rules pertaining to LMDS are found in Parts 1 and 101 of the Commission's rules (Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations). The Commission's rules governing eligibility for bidding credits were established to ensure that small businesses, rural  Xj4telephone companies, and businesses owned by members of minority groups and/or women (collectively referred to as "designated entities" or "DEs") are provided meaningful opportunities to compete in the provision of LMDS.

An applicant should amend its FCC Form 175 within 10 business days of any change, and should provide notice of the change by letter addressed to Kathleen O'Brien Ham, Chief, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 2025 M Street, N.W., Suite 5202, Washington, D.C. 20554, with a copy filed with the Office of the Secretary, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.(#  X 4 Q: XWhen an applicant is a consortium, can only one member of the consortium conduct bidding during the auction?

The withdrawal of a member would merely change the composition of the consortium, and should be reflected in a filing with the Commission. On the other hand, adding a new member to a consortium after the FCC Form 175 filing deadline will not be permitted because the filing deadline is the cutoff date for determinations of whether applicants meet the definitions of very small business, small business, or entrepreneur.(#  X ' II.Foreign Ownership Issues.

Can LMDS applicants seek more than 25 percent indirect foreign ownership?(#  X"4 A: XSection 310(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Communications""* 0*((6!"

The final rules set forth in the Foreign  zP'Participation Order were published in the Federal Register on December 9, 1997, at 62 Fed. Reg. 64741. The  zP'Commission has reserved the right to reconsider the effective date of the Foreign Participation Order if the WTO Basic Telecom Agreement does not take effect on January 1, 1998. If these final rules are postponed, the Commission will give notice in the Federal Register. Any applicant that is controlled by a corporation with more than 25 percent foreign ownership, or which seeks to exceed that limit, must inform the Commission in a separate petition for declaratory ruling. The Commission will accept  X!4petitions for declaratory ruling immediately, but will not necessarily rule on them prior  X 4to the auction start date. Because applicants must certify on their short form applications that they are in compliance with the foreign ownership provisions of  X'Section 310 of the Communications Act,vho XL&4ԍ#c P7MP# See 47 C.F.R. 1.2105(a)(2)(vi).v applicants filing petitions for declaratory rulings must reference their pending petitions in their short form"p0*((K"  X4applications.

X34 Q: XWhat constitutes gross revenues as described in 47 C.F.R.  101.1112?(#  X 4  X 4 A: XGross revenues include all income received by an entity, whether earned or passive, before any deductions are made for the costs of doing business, as evidenced by audited financial statements for the preceding three years. If an entity was not in existence for the entire preceding three years, gross revenues shall be evidenced by  X 4audited financial statements of the entity's predecessorininterest, or if there is no identifiable predecessorininterest, unaudited financial statements certified by the applicant as accurate. The Commission will evaluate applicants' gross revenues as they are reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.(#  X'  X4Q: XNow that the auction has been rescheduled for February 18, 1998, will the Commission require applicants to provide audited financial statements for 1997?(#  X4 A: XApplicants must furnish evidence of their gross revenues based upon their most recentlycompleted audited financial statements. Thus, if audited financial statements for calendar year 1997 have not been fully prepared by the FCC Form 175 filing deadline of January 20, 1998, audited statements for the years 1994, 1995, and 1996 will suffice.(#  X"4 Q:X Are the gross revenues of an applicant's affiliates counted in determining that applicant's eligibility for a bidding credit?(#  X4 A: XYes. An applicant must aggregate the gross revenues of all affiliates, as defined in 47 C.F.R.  101.1112(h), in order to determine its bidding credit eligibility.(#  X#4 Q: XWhen determining eligibility for bidding credits, will the gross revenues of individuals who are affiliates be included in determining the bidder's gross revenues? Is there a conceivable instance when an individual's gross revenues will affect an applicant's eligibility for a bidding credit?(# "%'0*((%"Ԍ X4 A: XThis issue has been raised on reconsideration in another proceeding and the Bureau  X4refrains from directly addressing it at this point.A9 Xb4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# See Petition for Reconsideration, Blooston, Mordkofsky, Jackson & Dickens, Revision of Part 22 and Part 90 of the Commission's Rules to Facilitate Future Development of Paging Systems, WT Docket No. 9618, Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act Competitive Bidding, PP Docket No. 93253 (filed April 11, 1997), at 21. However, the Bureau notes that for LMDS, the Commission did not adopt a rule that attributes personal net worth for  X4purposes of determining eligibility.9 X= 4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act Competitive Bidding, PP Docket No. 94 {O& '285, Fifth Memorandum Opinion and Order, 10 FCC Rcd 403, 421 (1994). Personal net worth has been defined as "the market value of all assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) owned by an individual, less all liabilities (including personal guarantees) owed by the individual in  Xv4his individual capacity or as a joint obligor."vL9 Xs4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# See Narrowband PCS rules at 47 C.F.R.  24.320(e). In other services (i.e., broadband PCS), the Commission eliminated a personal net worth test, concluding that "the affiliation  XJ4rules make the personal net worth rules largely unnecessary since most wealthy individuals are likely to have their wealth closely tied to ownership of another  X 4business."[ 9 X4ԍ #X\  P6G;P# Id. [ (#  X 4 Q: XIs there a minimum equity requirement for controlling small business principals?(#  X 4 A: XNo. However, the Bureau cautions that the absence of equity in the hands of controlling small business principals could raise questions about whether the applicant  X{4itself qualifies as a bona fide small business. For instance, if a single party holds de  Xf4jure control, as evidenced by ownership of 50.1 percent of the voting stock, this party  XQ4must also hold de facto control in order to be considered a controlling principal. If no  X<4single party has de jure control of the applicant, de facto control factors will determine who controls the applicant. By way of comparison, in broadband PCS, controlling principals were required to hold at least 15 percent of the applicant's total equity under  X4one particular business structure.v 9 XX!4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# See 47 C.F.R. 24.709(b)(5).v (#  X4 Q: XDoes the bidding credit schedule adopted in the Commission's Part 1 Proceedingt_ 9 X$4ԍ#X\  P6G;P#  See Part 1 at  47. t apply to LMDS?(#  X4 A: XNo. LMDS has a specific bidding credit rule that is not affected by the Part 1 rule"0*((" changes.(#  X' IV.Anticollusion Rule Issues.  Xv4 Q: X What conduct constitutes a violation of the Commission's anticollusion rule? (#  X_4  XH4 A: XAfter the deadline for submission of the FCC Form 175, applicants may not discuss the substance of their bids or bidding strategies with other bidders that have applied to bid in the same geographic license areas, with the exception of those with which they have entered into agreements identified on the FCC Form 175. The term "applicant" includes the entity that submits an application for auction participation, owners of five  X 4percent or more of that entity, and all officers and directors of that entity.A 9 XN4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# But see Part 1 at  164 (which changes the attribution level of the anticollusion rule to 10 percent; however, this rule does not apply to the LMDS auction. The new Part 1 rules, with the exception of rules pertaining to postauction payment and longform application obligations, will apply only to auctions  yO'commencing after the new rules' effective date). The rule also prohibits the transfer of indirect information which affects, or could affect, bids or bidding strategy.

Texas 1993).4 The Bureau therefore urges bidders for common markets to exercise caution when making public statements about their bids or bidding strategies.(#  X4 Q: XIf an applicant files an FCC Form 175 prior to the filing deadline of January 20, 1998, may this applicant speak with other potential applicants during the time between its filing and the deadline? In other words, at what point are two parties considered to be competing for the same market?(#  X 4 A:X An FCC Form 175 is considered officially filed upon the filing deadline, regardless of whether it was actually filed one day or one month prior to the deadline. Changes to electronically filed applications can be made any time prior to the filing deadline on January 20, 1998, and applicants cannot view each others' electronically filed  X 4applications prior to that deadline. Thus, parties are not considered to be competing for the same market until the window for submitting applications closes at 5:30 p.m., ET, on January 20, 1998. (#  XK4 Q: XCan an individual act as the authorized bidder and place bids for two or more applicants who are competing for one or more of the same markets? What if different individuals who are employed by the same organization place bids for applicants in competing markets?(#  X4 A: XA violation of the anticollusion rule could occur if an individual acts as the authorized bidder for two or more competing applicants, and conveys information concerning the substance of bids or bidding strategies between the bidders he/she is authorized to represent in the auction. Also, if the authorized bidders are different individuals employed by the same organization, a violation could similarly occur. In such instances, the Bureau strongly encourages applicants to certify on their application that  XN4precautionary steps (e.g., establishing a "Chinese wall") have been taken to prevent  X94communication between authorized bidders and that applicants and their bidding agents will comply with the anticollusion rule.(#  X ' V.Technical Issues.  X#4 Q: XIn bands where Mobile Satellite Service ("MSS") feeder links are permitted, is uplink"#C0*((!" transmission (subscriber end) allowed if there is no MSS licensee operating?(#  X_4 A: X No. The interference analyses conducted indicated that subscribers' transceivers potentially are major interferers to MSS feeder link earth station satellite receivers because of the elevation angles many will be employing. The satellites to be deployed in these MSS systems will be orbiting in different planes over the United States. Therefore, there is the potential for them to become aligned with the beam of a subscriber transceiver at any location in the United States. To review those analyses, see the Report of the LMDS/FSS 28 GHz Band Negotiated Rulemaking Committee,  X 4CC Docket No. 92297 (September 23, 1994).(#  Xy4 Q: XWhat are the deadlines for 31 GHz incumbents to vacate the 31 GHz middle band?(#  XK4 A: X Incumbent 31 GHz licensees were provided 75 days after the effective date of the LMDS service rules to request modification of their licenses to relocate to the outer two 75 megahertz blocks of the 31 GHz band. Failure to do so means that such incumbent operations become secondary to LMDS operations in the middle band. This means that LMDS operators are not required to protect these incumbent operations from interference, nor are the incumbent operations permitted to cause interference to LMDS systems. Of course, these incumbents can relocate to other bands or other transmission media at any time. (#  XN' VI.Miscellaneous.  X 4 Q: XWill the Commission inform applicants of the minimum opening bid for each BTA license prior to the FCC Form 175 filing deadline of January 20, 1998?(#  X 4 A: XYes.

The ILEC should determine the geographic area that it serves and then use census data for determining the population of that area.(#  X 4 Q:X What are the consequences if an applicant fails to complete properly the FCC Form 175?(#  X 4 A: XAn applicant is solely responsible for the true, accurate, and complete submission of its FCC Form 175, and incomplete or inaccurate FCC Forms 175 may be rejected or required to be refiled. The Commission checks FCC Forms 175 for deficiencies that would affect their initial acceptability, and will act to apprise applicants of deficiencies after initial review. Applicants are then given an opportunity to cure such deficiencies. Once a corrected application is resubmitted, however, no major amendments can occur.  X4This would include, for example, changes to bidding credits.A9 X4ԍ#X\  P6G;P# See, e.g., Letter to Mr. John Reardon from Kathleen O'Brien Ham, Chief, Auctions Division, Wireless  {O'Telecommunications Bureau, DA 972209 (rel.
