Title: Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act--
Competitive Bidding, Third Report and Order and Third Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, PP Docket
No. 93-253 (47 CFR Part 24).
FCC Forms: FCC 401, 489, 490, 405, 430, 854.
Expiration Date: 05/31/97.
Estimated Annual Burden: 45,654 total hours; .50-20 hours per
response; 10-17,770 respondents.
Description: In the Third Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Third MO&O), the Commission clarified,
modified and supplemented the original rules governing the auction of
narrowband PCS licenses. For example, the Commission has modified its
original definition of small business to include larger concerns, and
has codified principles for attributing the interests of various
affiliates of the applicant to that applicant. The Commission also has
modified the various preferential measures that are available to
certain entities designated by Congress, such as increasing the
available bidding credits to 40% from 25% in some cases. In order to
better ensure that applicants claiming these preferences are entitled
to them and to aid the Commission's enforcement efforts, winning
bidders are now required to supply additional information on the
ownership of the applicant. The Commission has also relaxed its rules
pertaining to amendment of FCC Form 175, now permitting applicants to
amend their FCC Form 175 applications to reflect ownership changes that
do not result in a change in control of the applicant.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0068.

to determine the financial, legal and technical qualifications of the
