November 12, 1998) ("Procedural Public Notice"). The Commission  {O-  Yrecently adopted competitive bidding rules for the upcoming C block auction. See Amendment of the Commission's  {O-  Rules Regarding Installment Payment Financing for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licenses, Fourth  {O-  Report and Order, FCC 98176 (rel. August 19, 1998) ("C Block Fourth Report and Order"); see also Installment   -Payment Financing for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licenses, 63 Fed. Reg. 50,791 (September 23, 1998). In addition, the Procedural  X-  Public Notice listed as part of the auction certain spectrum blocks associated with the cancelled   zlicenses of DCR PCS, Inc. ("DCR"), a licensee currently in bankruptcy. DCR's licenses were   subject to a preliminary injunction preventing the alienation of those licenses through November   =16, 1998. That injunction has been removed, and the relevant spectrum blocks are listed in the   =Attachment to this Public Notice with an update reflecting this change in status. As a general   matter, the Attachment contains an updated inventory of all licenses that will be made available   in Auction No. 22. Future public notices could include information about other Commission   zlicenses in conjunction with Auction No. 22. Additionally, in this Public Notice, the Bureau   [seeks comment on procedural issues relating to the auction of the D, E, and F block licenses in Auction No. 22. !0*0*0* #eLpH!,8XfV '#! X h,Ԍ X- I.  Reserve Price or Minimum Opening Bid   X-  Based on the approach taken in the Procedural Public Notice, for each D, E, and F block license   for which there was a winning bidder in the 1996 D, E, and F block auction, the Bureau proposes   Kto establish as the minimum opening bid an amount equal to ten percent of the corresponding net   =high bid for the market in the 1996 auction, but in no event lower than the upfront payment for   that license in Auction No. 22. For each D, E, and F block license for which there was no   winning bidder in the 1996 auction, the Bureau proposes to establish as the minimum opening   bid an amount equal to 3.33 percent of the most recent net high bid for the C block license in  X3-  the same Basic Trading Area ("BTA"), 3r yO - LԍThe term "most recent" means that if the license for a particular band of spectrum was auctioned in Auction   No. 10 (which concluded on July 16, 1996), the Bureau will use the net high bid for the license in Auction No. 10,   rather than the net high bid for authorization to use that same band in the original C block auction, as the basis for calculating the minimum opening bid. but in no event lower than the upfront payment amount  X -  for that license in Auction No. 22. r yO- ԍThe 3.33 percentage amount for these 10 MHz D, E, and F block licenses corresponds proportionally with the five percent proposed for 15 MHz C block licenses and the ten percent proposed for 30 MHz C block licenses. Thus, for licenses with minimum opening bids that otherwise   /would be lower than upfront payment amounts, the Bureau proposes to establish minimum   /opening bids that equal the upfront payment amounts. Minimum opening bid amounts are provided in the attachment.  X - II. Upfront Payments and Initial Maximum Eligibility for Each Bidder   X{-  The Bureau proposed in the Procedural Public Notice to set the upfront payment amount for each   license in Auction No. 22 at $0.06 * MHz * Population ("Pops") (rounded up to the next dollar).   yThe Bureau seeks comment on its proposal to apply the same upfront payment amount to each of the D, E, and F block licenses to be auctioned.  X -  In accordance with the Commission rule governing C block applicants, the Bureau stated in the  X-  Procedural Public Notice that the upfront payment amount for "former defaulters" (i.e., applicants   that have ever been in default on any Commission licenses or have ever been delinquent on any   nontax debt owed to any Federal agency) will be fifty percent more than the normal amount  X-  required to be paid.lr {O1!-ԍSee C Block Fourth Report and Order at para. 34; 47 C.F.R.  24.706(a). Consistent with this rule, any former defaulter that applies to bid on "all  X-  markets" or designates D, E, or F block licenses in addition to at least one C block license will  X-  be subject to the higher upfront payment requirement. Former defaulters that apply to bid only on D, E, or F block licenses will not be subject to the higher upfront payment requirement.  X=-  In the Procedural Public Notice, the Bureau proposed that the amount of the upfront payment   submitted by a bidder will determine the initial maximum eligibility (as measured in bidding   yunits) for each bidder. Upfront payments will not be attributed to specific licenses, but instead"b 0*((["   will be translated into bidding units to define a bidder's initial maximum eligibility, which cannot   be increased during the auction. Thus, in calculating the upfront payment amount, an applicant  X-  must determine the maximum number of bidding units it may wish to bid on (or hold high bids   on) in any single round, and submit an upfront payment covering that number of bidding units.   jThe Bureau seeks comment on its proposal to use this same approach for the D, E, and F block  X-licenses to be auctioned.  X_- III. Attribution Rules   X1-  As stated in the Procedural Public Notice, the attribution rules set forth in Section 24.709 of the  X -Commission's rules will apply to Auction No. 22.G r yO -ԍ47 C.F.R.  24.709.G  X - IV. Other Auction Procedural Issues   X -  In the Procedural Public Notice, the Bureau set forth proposals for Auction No. 22 with respect  X -  to the following issues: (1) auction sequence and license groupings; (2)structure of bidding   [rounds, activity requirements, and criteria for determining reductions in eligibility; (3)minimum   accepted bids; (4)activity rule waivers and reducing eligibility; (5)information regarding bid   \withdrawal and bid removal; (6) stopping rule; and (7)information relating to auction delay,   suspension or cancellation. Because the remaining D, E, and F block licenses will be included   in Auction No. 22, the Bureau proposes to adopt these same proposals for the auction of these licenses.  X- V.
