    Auction Notice and Filing Requirements for 493 BTA Authorizations 
    for Multipoint Distribution Service in the 2 GHz Band, Scheduled for 
    November 13, 1995
    
    AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
    
    ACTION: Public Notice.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This Public Notice, released September 12, 1995, revised the 
    Appendix attached to Report No. AUC-95-06 dated September 5, 1995. Both 
    the September 5, 1995 and the September 12, 1995 Public Notices should 
    be read together. These Public Notices are directed toward the 
    Commission's goal of efficiently distributing the unused MDS spectrum 
    through competitive bidding, and are designed to assist prospective 
    bidders in preparing for the upcoming MDS auction.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    The FCC auction contractor, Tradewinds International, Inc., at (202) 
    637-FCC1 (637-3221).
    
        The complete text of the Public Notice dated September 12, 1995 
    follows. Copies of this item are available for public inspection in 
    Room 207, 2033 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. and may also be 
    obtained from the FCC copy contractor, ITS, Inc. at (202) 418-0620, and 
    the FCC auction contractor, Tradewinds International, Inc. at (202) 
    637-FCC1 (637-3221).
        This Public Notice corrects the Appendix attached to Report No. 
    AUC-95-06, dated September 5, 1995. The upfront payment amounts listed 
    in the following table differ slightly from those in the September 5, 
    1995 Appendix and supersede those previously published. The revised 
    upfront payments have been rounded up to the next dollar. The revised 
    small business payments are 75 percent of the total upfront payments 
    due, rounded up to the next dollar. This rounding procedure is being 
    implemented to ensure that the maximum initial eligibility for each 
    bidder will be a whole number (a condition required by the Commissions' 
    auction implementation software) and to ensure that, when the upfront 
    payment of a small business bidder is adjusted (by multiplying it by 4/
    3) to calculate the maximum initial eligibility, the small business 
    bidder will have an appropriate number of ``activity'' or ``bidding'' 
    units.
        The upfront payment schedule guarantees that if a small business 
    bidder and a bidder that is not a small business each submit upfront 
    payments for the same combination of markets, the maximum initial 
    eligibility for the bidder that is not a small business will equal the 
    sum of the upfront payments for those markets, whole the maximum 
    initial eligibility for the small business bidder will be equal to or 
    possibly slightly larger than the sum of the upfront payments for those 
    markets. For example, a small business bidder submitting an upfront 
    payment for all markets would have a maximum initial eligibility equal 
    to 4,647,790 bidding units, while a bidder that is not a small business 
    would have a maximum initial eligibility of 4,647,596 bidding units. 
    Differences of this nature are a result of the rounding process 
    employed.
        Small business bidders should monitor their eligibility carefully 
    during the course of the auction, especially during stage transitions. 
    When a bidder's activity level in a particular round is below its 
    required bidding activity level for that round, even by one bidding 
    unit, the bidding software will automatically charge a waiver to that 
    bidder. Thus, small business bidders may be charged a waiver that they 
    did not intend to exercise. To avoid this, small business bidders would 
    need to use the automatic waiver override procedures. A discussion of 
    the activity rule is contained in Report No. AUC-95-06, dated September 
    5, 1995. For further information, contact Karen Wrege, Auctions 
    Division, at (202) 418-0660.
