**THE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU ANNOUNCES THAT IT IS**

**PREPARED TO GRANT 104 LICENSES TO OPERATE IN THE 39 GHZ BAND**

**(Balance of Winning Bids are due by August 30, 2000)**

**Auction Event No. 30**

**Report No. AUC-30-G**

On June 28, 2000, six long-form applications (FCC Form 601) for the
authority to operate in the 38.6-40.0 GHz (39 GHz) band were placed on
public notice as accepted for filing.[^1] On July 21, 2000, twenty-one
long-form applications for the authority to operate in the 39 GHz band
were placed on public notice as accepted for filing. Upon review of
these twenty-seven long-form applications, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau is prepared to grant the thirteen long-form
applications for 104 licenses that are listed in the Attachment. These
grants will occur upon the full and timely payment of the remaining
balance of the applicant\'s winning bid(s) by August 30, 2000, which is
ten business days after the date of this public notice.[^2] Final
disposition of the fourteen remaining applications will be noted in
future public notices and/or orders.

Note that the Commission\'s Part 1 competitive bidding rules also
provide an additional ten business day grace period for applicants who
fail to meet the initial ten business day payment deadline.[^3] Under
Section 1.2109(a), applicants who fail to meet the initial ten business
day deadline are given an additional ten business days in which to pay,
provided they also pay a late fee equal to five percent of the amount
due.[^4] Applicants listed in the Attachment who do not submit the
required payment by the late payment deadline of September 14, 2000,
will be considered in default and are subject to automatic license
cancellation and additional default payments*.*[^5] Should an applicant
default, it will be subject to a payment equal to the difference between
the amount bid and the amount of the winning bid the next time the
license is offered by the Commission.[^6]

In addition, defaulting applicants will be subject to a default payment
of three percent of the subsequent winning bid or three percent of the
defaulting bid, whichever is less. These amounts will be deducted from
any remaining upfront payments or down payments that the defaulting or
disqualified applicant has on deposit with the Commission.[^7] If the
default occurs within ten business days after the bidding has closed,
the Commission retains the discretion to offer the license to the other
bidders in descending order of their bid amounts at the final bid
levels.[^8]

**Issuance of Individual Licenses**

Following the timely payment of the balance of the applicant\'s winning
bid amount(s), the Commission will issue individual license(s) for each
market to the applicant(s) listed in Attachment A.

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

**Final payments.** All applicants identified in Attachment A must
submit the balance of their winning bids in lump sum payments to Mellon
Bank by August 30, 2000.

**Method of payment.** All payments must be in U.S. dollars and made in
the form of a wire transfer. No personal checks, credit card payments,
or other forms of payment will be accepted. **All payments must be
accompanied by a completed FCC Remittance Advice Form (FCC Form
159).**[^9] A partially completed copy of the FCC Form 159 will be sent
to each applicant on August 16, 2000 to facilitate submission of the
correct remaining balance of the winning bid(s). Applicants listed on
Attachment A who have not received the partially completed FCC Form 159
by August 18, 2000 should contact Gail Glasser at 202-418-1995.
**However, each applicant is ultimately responsible for the verification
and submission of the correct balance due.**

**Wire transfer payments** must be **received** by Mellon Bank by **6:00
p.m. Eastern Time, on Wednesday, August 30, 2000**. Applicants should
coordinate with their bankers ahead of time regarding their wire
transfers, and allow sufficient time for the wire transfer to be
**initiated and completed prior to the deadline**. To submit funds by
wire transfer, applicants will need the following information:
