ERRATUM


Adopted: March 16, 2001						Released: March 27, 2001


By the Commission:  Commissioner Tristani dissenting and issuing a separate statement.


This Erratum makes a minor correction to the text and final rules of the Second Memorandum 
Opinion and Order, FCC 00-330, in the above-captioned proceeding, which was released on September 
14, 2000.   Specifically, we clarify the method we will use to calculate the additional 25 percent payment 
for which bidders in Auction No. 31 are liable if they default on their bids.  A summary of the 700 MHz 
Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, including the final rules, was published in the Federal 
Register, 66 Fed. Reg. 10374 (February 15, 2001).  The 700 MHz Second Memorandum Opinion and 
Order was published in the FCC Record at 15 FCC Rcd 21070.  Accordingly, the corrections set forth 
herein will be published in the Federal Register, and this Erratum will be published in the FCC Record.


1.  Paragraph 17 of the 700 MHz Second Memorandum Opinion and Order is revised to add a sentence at 
the end of the paragraph that reads as follows:

In determining whether the defaulted bid(s) or the subsequent winning 
bid(s) is the lesser amount, we will compare the defaulted and 
subsequent bid(s) according to the same rules we set forth in paragraph 
15 for calculation of the deficiency portion of the default payment. 


2.   Section 27.501 of the Commission's rules is revised by adding a sentence between the fourth and 
fifth sentences of the note to Section 27.501 that reads as follows:  

In calculating the additional payment portion of the default payment, to 
determine whether the defaulted bid(s) or the subsequent winning bid(s) 
is the lesser amount, the defaulted and subsequent bid(s) will be 
compared according to the rules set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) 
herein for calculation of the deficiency portion of the default payment.
