DISCUSSION Đ\ 4. Rush contends that it only missed the application filing deadline and is not in default  S'because it made the required down payment by the November 6, 1998 deadline.K  yO'ԍWaiver Request at 3.K We find that Rush is in default because it failed to timely file its longform application as required by section 90.1013 of the Commission's Rules. Section 90.1013 specifically states that applications for 220 MHz geographic licenses on FCC Form 601 must be submitted in accordance with section 1.2107 of the Commission's  S'Rules.HX yO 'ԍ47 C.F.R.  90.1013.H Section 1.2107(c) provides in relevant part that "[a]n applicant that fails to submit the required longform application under this paragraph and fails to establish good cause for any latefiled submission, shall be deemed to have defaulted and will be subject to the payments set forth in section  Sp'1.2104."Jp yO 'ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.2107(c).J Accordingly, Rush is in default and subject to the default payments unless it can establish good cause for the late filing.  5. On the basis of the record before us, we also reject Rush's request for a waiver. A request for a waiver of the Commission's Rules must "set forth the reasons in support thereof including a showing that unique circumstances are involved and that there is no reasonable alternative solution  S 'within existing rules." x {O' " ԍSee 47 C.F.R.  90.151. See also WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1157 (D.C. Cir. 1969) (citation  {Ob'omitted) cert. denied 409 U.S. 1027 (1972). Rush contends that as a twoperson company that owns several licenses in  SX'different wireless services, its responsibilities were extended beyond its resources.KX yO'ԍWaiver Request at 4.K Specifically, Rush  S0'states that it was preparing comments to file in a Commission rulemaking proceeding involving the  S'218219 MHz service.:d  {O 'ԍId.: Rush also states that both of its employees were required to be away from the  S'office for meetings with potential clients.:  {Ov'ԍId.: Rush concludes that while "none of these events . . . constitute[s] a single excuse for missing the filing deadline, taken together they did cause Rush to  S'allow the deadline to pass without making the filing.":  {O 'ԍId.: These circumstances are not, however, unique or unusual and do not support the grant of a waiver of the filing deadline. Although Rush is a "very small business" that may face a busy schedule, this does not excuse Rush for missing the longform filing deadline. The other winning bidders complied with the filing deadline and Rush has not  S'identified any unusual demands on its resources that would warrant granting a waiver in this case.^ {O%' "} ԍSee In the Matter of Pinpoint Communications, Inc., File No. 0000000140, Application for Local Multipoint  {Ot&' xk distribution Service Licenses to Serve BTA185, Hastings, Nebraska and BTA270, McCook, Nebraska, Order, DA  {O>''981922 (rel. September 22, 1998), recon. pending."@,>(>(ZZ"Ԍ6. Rush further argues that it plans to use the licenses for the markets it won in the Phase II 220 MHz auction in conjunction with its Phase I nationwide 220 MHz license, and that "failure to  S'obtain the licenses from the auction will significantly frustrate Rush's ability to deploy this system."K yO'ԍWaiver Request at 5.K In its Waiver Request, Rush details its business plan for its proposed system and asks the Commission to find that the benefits of its proposed system outweigh the adherence to a strict deadline which  S8'would delay service to the public.:8X {O0'ԍId.: These factors do not justify the grant of a waiver. The underlying purpose of the requirement that a winning bidder be found in default if it fails to file its longform application by the filing deadline is to ensure an orderly licensing process and to facilitate rapid deployment of new services. Accordingly, if a waiver of the rules is not limited to unique or unusual circumstances, it would compromise the integrity of the licensing process and reduce the critically important incentives that winning bidders have to timely file their longform applications. 7. Rush filed its longform application seven days after the filing deadline. As such, it is in  S 'default, and is subject to the default payments set forth under the Commission's Rules.  yO'Ѝ#X\  P6G;NP#47 C.F.R.  1.2107(c), 1.2104(g)(1)(2). Because the subject EAs have yet to be reauctioned and we cannot yet determine the full amount of Rush's default  S 'payment, we will assess a deposit toward the default payment ultimately owed by Rush. z {O'Ѝ#X\  P6G;NP#See Competitive Bidding Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd. at 434,  102. Although the Commission provided that this deposit amount will be up to 20 percent of the bid on which Rush  SX'defaulted,kX  {O'Ѝ#X\  P6G;NP#Id.k we note that if any of the subject licenses are reauctioned for amounts greater than Rush's  S0'bid for these licenses, the default payments due will be only three percent of Rush's defaulted bids.~0 yOn'Ѝ#X\  P6G;NP#47 C.F.R.  1.2104(g)(2).~ Consequently, a three percent payment is the minimum amount that Rush would owe under even the most favorable circumstances. We therefore require a deposit of three percent of Rush's defaulted net high bid for the subject licenses, or $1,948.05. Pursuant to section 1.2104(g), this payment will be  S'deducted from the upfront payment amount that Rush has on deposit with the Commission.{.  yO^'Ѝ#X\  P6G;NP#47 C.F.R.  1.2104(g).{ If additional payment is required following the reauction of the subject licenses, a second Order will assess such payment.
