**ERRATUM**

Report No. AUC-02-31-C (Auction No. 31)

This erratum amends the public notice "Auction of Licenses in the
747-762 and 777-792 MHz Bands Scheduled for June 19, 2002; Further
Modification of Package Bidding Procedures and Other Procedures for
Auction No. 31," released March 19, 2002.[^1] The Public Notice has not
yet been published in the FCC Record and a summary of the Notice has not
yet been published in the Federal Register. Accordingly, the corrections
set forth herein shall be incorporated into the text of the Public
Notice prior to such publication.

1.  In Section I.B.4, the last sentence in the fifth paragraph
    incorrectly included a reference to MSAs and RSAs and is corrected
    to read, "Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to physically
    inspect any sites located in or near the EAG for which they plan to
    bid."

2.  On March 25, 2002, the Mass Media and Cable Bureaus were merged to
    create the Media Bureau. Accordingly, references throughout the
    Public Notice to the Mass Media Bureau are updated to refer to the
    Media Bureau. In addition, in Section I.B.4, the sixth paragraph's
    reference to the former Mass Media Bureau's Consolidated Data Base
    System (CDBS) is corrected to read
    "<http://www.fcc.gov/mb/databases/>", and the last paragraph's
    reference to the former Mass Media Bureau's e-mail address is
    corrected to read "<mbinfo@fcc.gov>".

3.  Footnote 65 incorrectly referenced "47 C.F.R. Ch. 1, Subpart I" and
    is corrected to read "47 C.F.R. Part 1, Subpart I."

4.  Footnote 77 included an incorrect cross-reference to note 12, and
    therefore the sentence "*See also* note 12, above." is deleted.

5.  Footnote 80 incorrectly referenced "1.2110(b)(5)" and is corrected
    to read "1.2110(c)5."

6.  In Section IV.B.3, the last sentence of the fourth paragraph is
    replaced with the following: "They therefore reflect what it would
    cost for a bid on any license (and therefore on any package
    containing that license) to be competitive with provisionally
    winning bids on packages of complementary licenses."

7.  Also in Section IV.B.3, the following changes are made regarding the
    rounding of certain calculations:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(i) Insert the following before the last sentence of the fifth
    paragraph: "The result will be rounded to the nearest thousand
    dollars."

(ii) In the sixth paragraph, the second sentence is changed to read as
     follows: "After the first round of the auction, part (iii) of the
     minimum acceptable bid rule for a global package will always be the
     revenue generated by the provisionally winning bid set in the
     previous round plus w%, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars."

(iii) The first sentence of the eighth paragraph is changed to read as
      follows: "For bids higher than the minimum acceptable bid ---
      *i.e.*, multi-increment bids --- we are defining the amount of the
      additional bid increments as v% of the minimum acceptable bid,
      rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, where the minimum
      acceptable bid is determined as discussed above."

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
8.  In Section IV.B.5, the first sentence of the third paragraph is
    changed to read as follows: "The last and best bid amount for any
    license or package is any amount, in thousand dollar increments,
    greater than or equal to the bidder's previous high bid on the
    license or package and less than or equal to the eighth increment
    above the minimum acceptable bid for that license or package in the
    current round."

9.  In Footnote 173, the last sentence is corrected to read, "The
    minimum acceptable bid is the *greatest* of the three amounts."

10. In Attachment E, the example at the bottom of page 4 incorrectly
    listed the year as "1998" and is corrected to read "1999".

11. In Footnote 184, the last sentence referenced incorrect sections and
    is corrected to read "*See generally* Section IV.A.2, Maximum
    Eligibility, and IV.A.3, Activity Rules."

12. In Attachment G, Section B, the fourth sentence of the last bullet
    is corrected to read as follows: "Each set of last and best bids may
    consist of bids on any or all of the licenses selected on the Form
    175 and any or all of the packages created by the bidder, consistent
    with activity rules and the twelve package limitation."

13. In Attachment G, Section C, the first sentence of the second bullet
    is corrected to read "...while renewed *non*-provisionally winning
    bids do not receive any bidding activity."

14. In Attachment G, Section D, the fifth bullet is corrected to read,
    "The *winning bids* are the provisionally winning bids when the
    auction closes, provided that the total gross revenue of the
    provisionally winning set equals or exceeds the aggregate reserve
    price."

15. In Attachment H, text formatting is corrected.
