###### NARROWBAND PCS SPECTRUM AUCTION 

##### SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 3, 2001

###### REVISED UPFRONT PAYMENTS, BIDDING UNIT AMOUNTS, AND MINIMUM OPENING BIDS FOR NATIONWIDE LICENSES AND LICENSES IN MTA 017

**Report No. AUC-01‑41-B (Auction No. 41)**

This *Public Notice* corrects Attachment A of *Public Notice* DA 01-1400
released June 12, 2001.[^1] Specifically, the population figures and
proposed bidding units, upfront payments, and minimum opening bids were
incorrect for the eight (8) nationwide licenses and seven (7) licenses
available in one Major Trading Area ("MTA"), MTA017. Listed in the
following table are corrected population figures for the nationwide
license area and MTA017, New Orleans--Baton Rouge.

The Bureau has proposed to calculate upfront payments, bidding unit
amounts, and minimum opening bids using formulas that include license
area population as one element of the formula.[^2] Accordingly, the
corrected population figures result in revised upfront payments, bidding
unit amounts, and minimum opening bids for the nationwide licenses and 7
licenses in MTA017 available in Auction No. 41. The following table
includes the revised amounts:
