**FCC ANNOUNCES IT IS PREPARED TO GRANT BROADCAST CONSTRUCTION PERMITS
AFTER FINAL PAYMENTS ARE MADE**

**Balance of Winning Bid Due by March 31, 2006**

**Auction No. 81**

By this Public Notice, the Media Bureau, under delegated authority,
announces that it is prepared to grant the construction permit
applications listed in **Attachment A** of this Public Notice following
the full and timely payment of the remaining balance of the applicants'
winning bids. Therefore, in accordance with the procedures adopted in
the *Broadcast First Report and Order,*[^1] a lump sum final payment
from the Auction No. 81 winning bidders listed in Attachment A must be
received by the Commission within **ten business days** of the date of
this Public Notice (*i.e.*, by March 31, 2006).[^2]

Note that the Commission\'s Part 1 competitive bidding rules provide for
an additional ten business day grace period for applicants who fail to
meet the initial ten business day payment deadline.[^3] Section
1.2109(a) of the Commission\'s Rules provides that if a winning bidder
fails to pay the balance of its winning bid in a lump sum by the
applicable deadline specified by the Commission, it may make a late
payment within ten business days after the payment deadline (*i.e.* by
April 14, 2006), provided that it also pays a late fee equal to five
percent of the amount due.[^4] If the winning bidders listed in
Attachment A fail to pay the balance of their winning bids by the late
payment deadline of April 14, 2006, they will be considered in default
and subject to the applicable default payment and procedural provisions
specified in the Commission rules.[^5] Such applicants will be assessed
a default payment as proscribed by Commission rules. *See generally* 47
C.F.R. §§ 1.2104 (g)(2), 1.2109(a), 73.5004.

By public notice, the Media Bureau will announce the grant of the
construction permits if the Commission has received the timely final
payments of the winning bid amounts. Facility authorizations will be
issued shortly thereafter. The previously filed long form applications
of the unsuccessful competing bidders in Auction No. 81 will be
dismissed following grant of the winning bidders' construction permits.

**[PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS]{.underline}**

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 by Mellon Bank by **6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time, on March 31, 2006 (or 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, April 14,
2006, along with the five percent late fee).** Applicants must allow
