**Auction Event No. 26**

**Report No. AUC-26 (Auction No. 26)**

On March 2, 2000, the FCC completed its auction of 929 and 931 MHz
Paging licenses (Auction 26).[^1] After a preliminary review of the FCC
long-form applications (FCC Form 601), applications for 901 licenses
were accepted for filing.[^2]

By this Public Notice, the Bureau announces that it is prepared to grant
the applications for these 901 licenses listed in Attachment A of this
Public Notice upon the full and timely payment of the remaining balance
of each applicant\'s winning bid. Such payment must be received by the
Commission within ten (10) business days of the date of this Public
Notice (*i.e.*, by May 19, 2000). *See* 47 C.F.R. §§ 22.215(a),
1.2109(a). If a winning bidder fails to pay the balance of its winning
bids in a lump sum by the applicable deadline as specified by the
Commission, it may pay the remaining balance within ten (10) business
days after the payment deadline (*i.e.*, by June 5, 2000), provided that
it also pays a late fee equal to five percent of the amount due. *See*
47 C.F.R. §§ 22.215(a), 1.2109(a).

A winning bidder listed on Attachment A who fails to pay the balance of
its winning bid by the late payment deadline of June 5, 2000, will be
considered in default and subject to the applicable default payments.
*See* 47 C.F.R. §§ 22.207, 22.215(a), 1.2104(g), 1.2109(c). Such
applicants will be assessed default penalties as proscribed by sections
22.207, 22.215(a), 1.2104(g), and 1.2109(c) of the Commission\'s rules.
*See* 47 C.F.R. §§ 22.207, 22.215(a), 1.2104(g), 1.2109(c).

**Payment Instructions**

All payments must be made in U.S. currency in the form of a wire
transfer. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 1.2107(b). No personal checks, cashier\'s
checks or other forms of payment will be accepted.

Wire transfer payments must be received Mellon Bank by **6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time, on May 19, 2000 (or 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, June 5, 2000,
along with the five percent late fee).** Applicants should allow
sufficient time for the wire transfer to be initiated and for the
transmission to be completed prior to the deadline. To submit funds by
wire, applicants will need the following information to properly effect
the transmittal:

ABA Routing Number: 043000261

Receiving Bank: Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA

BNF: FCC/AC-9116106

OBI Field: (Skip one space between each informational item.)

\"AUCTION PAY\"

TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NO. (same as FCC Form 159, Block 26)

PAYMENT TYPE CODE (same as FCC Form 159, Block 20A: \"A26D\")

FCC CODE 1 (same as FCC Form 159, Block 23A: \"26\")

PAYOR NAME: (the same payor name as FCC Form 159, Block 2)

LOCKBOX NO.: 358850

Payments must be accompanied by a completed FCC Remittance Advice Form
(FCC Form 159). On the same business day that the applicant pays the
balance due to Mellon Bank, the applicant must fax a completed FCC Form
159 to Mellon Bank at (412) 236-5702 at least one hour prior to placing
the order for the wire transfer. On the FCC Form 159, applicants must
use the same FCC Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) used on their FCC
Form 601s.

When completing FCC Form 159, applicants must specify each license as a
separate item. Applicants must type license number(s) in Block(s) 24A,
24B, 24C, and 24D (\"FCC Code 2\") of FCC Form 159. They must also type
the auction number, \"26,\" in Block(s) 23A, 23B, 23C, and 23D (\"FCC
Code 1\"). As just noted, Form 159 provides sufficient boxes to list
only four licenses. Applicants with five or more licenses must then use
FCC Form 159-C (\"Continuation Sheet\") for the remainder of their
licenses.

License numbers should be identified by typing either \"GC\" or \"CZ"
(radio service code), followed by the market designator (MEA), followed
by the market number (001-051), and the frequency block (blocks A-L or
AA-BK). An example of a correct license number would be \"GCMEA001-A\"
or "CZMEA003-BK". The radio service code, market designator, market
number, and frequency block designations are listed in Attachment A and
Attachment A1.
