### AM Auction Remedial Filing Window  {#am-auction-remedial-filing-window .unnumbered}

## Notice and Filing Requirements Regarding July 31 -- August 4, 2000 {#notice-and-filing-requirements-regarding-july-31-august-4-2000 .unnumbered}

## Remedial Filing Window for AM Auction {#remedial-filing-window-for-am-auction .unnumbered}

The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Mass Media Bureau
(collectively the "Bureaus") announce an AM auction remedial filing
window for corrective submissions by entities that timely filed only one
of the two documents required by Commission AM auction procedures. Those
entities will be permitted to supplement their prior submissions,
between July 31, 2000, and August 4, 2000 ("AM Auction Remedial
Window"), by filing either the previously omitted FCC Form 175 or the
FCC Form 301 Section I and Tech Box of Section III-A.

**Background.** On November 19, 1999, a public notice was released
announcing an AM auction filing window for applications for new AM
stations and major modifications to authorized AM facilities.[^1] The
*January Filing Window Public Notice* required that entities interested
in participating in the AM auction electronically file a FCC Form 175
(short-form application) during the January Filing Window and,
concurrently, file a FCC Form 301 Section I and the Tech Box from
Section III-A, if they had not done so previously. The Bureaus cautioned
that the failure of any entity to file all required information on a
timely basis would preclude that entity's participation in the AM
auction proceeding.[^2] Nonetheless, the Commission received ten
filings, listed in Attachment A, that did not comply with the filing
requirements set forth in the *January Filing Window Public Notice*.

**AM Auction Remedial Window**. Generally, participation in prior
auctions conducted by the Bureaus required the filing of only FCC Form
175.[^3] The AM auction ("Auction No. 32") filing window is the first to
employ filing procedures which require the concurrent filing of FCC Form
175 and the engineering data contained in FCC Form 301. The Bureaus
recognize that potential applicants may have experienced some confusion
in the Bureaus' initial use of the two-part procedure. The purpose of
the AM Auction Remedial Window is to allow those entities that only
filed FCC Form 175 or the required engineering data on FCC Form 301 a
short period of time to correct their filings to comply with our rules.
We caution that this is a unique opportunity offered by the Bureaus. We
do not anticipate offering such an opportunity in future auction
proceedings.

Only entities identified in Attachment A may make corrective submissions
during the AM Auction Remedial Window. In order to be eligible to
participate in Auction No. 32, those entities must correct their
submissions as described below:

-   If an entity has a pending FCC Form 301 application (Frozen AM
    Application) and did not timely file a FCC Form 175 during the
    January Filing Window, that entity must electronically file a FCC
    Form 175 by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, August 4, 2000. For
    more information regarding the completion and electronic filing of
    the FCC Form 175, *see* Attachments A, B, and C of the *January
    Filing Window Public Notice*, Attachments B and C to this public
    notice which replace attachments D and E of the *January Filing
    Window Public Notice*,[^4] and the instructions set forth in
    "Electronic Filing Procedures for FCC Form 175," *infra*. Such
    entities should specify the file number of their pending FCC Form
    301 (Frozen AM Application) in FCC Form 175, Exhibit E
    ("Miscellaneous Information").

-   If an entity timely filed a FCC Form 175 during the January Filing
    Window and did not file the required engineering data sections of
    FCC Form 301, that entity must file FCC Form 301 (May 1999 version)
    Section I and the Tech Box of Section III‑A. These sections of FCC
    Form 301 must be filed in triplicate with the Secretary of the
    Commission, 445 12^th^ Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554. The
    required engineering data sections of the FCC Form 301 are due in
    hard copy by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, August 4, 2000. No
    filing fee is required. A courtesy copy of any Form 301 submission
    filed during the AM Auction Remedial Window should also be sent to
    James R. Crutchfield, Audio Services Division, Room 2‑B450, at the
    above street address. For more information regarding the completion
    of the required engineering data sections of the FCC Form 301, see
    Attachment A of the *January Filing Window Public Notice* which
    provides guidance regarding completion of the required FCC Form 301
    sections. Such entities should specify, in the cover letter
    accompanying the required FCC Form 301 sections or at the top of the
    first page of the FCC Form 301 submission, the account number of the
    associated pending FCC Form 175 as indicated in Attachment A to this
    public notice. It is **not** necessary for such entities to include
    a printed copy of their previous, electronically filed FCC Form 175
    with the FCC Form 301 submission.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   If an entity filed the required FCC Form 301 engineering data or a
    complete FCC Form 301 during the January Filing Window and did not
    file an associated FCC Form 175, that entity must electronically
    file a FCC Form 175 by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, August
    4, 2000. For more information regarding the completion and
    electronic filing of the FCC Form 175, see Attachments A, B, and C
    of the *January Filing Window Public Notice*, Attachments B and C to
    this public notice which replace attachments D and E of the *January
    Filing Window Public Notice*,[^5] and the instructions set forth in
    "Electronic Filing Procedures for FCC Form 175," *infra*. In FCC
    Form 175, Exhibit E ("Miscellaneous Information"), such entities
    should cross reference the city, state, frequency, and call sign
    identified in their previously filed FCC Form 301 required sections.

Failure of any entity identified in Attachment A to have all required
forms and information timely and properly filed by August 4, 2000 will
result in the dismissal of any prior submissions relating to the January
Filing Window for AM applications.

**Electronic Filing Procedures for FCC Form 175**. Only the entities
identified in Attachment A that are required to complete a FCC Form 175
will be able to make corrective filings in the AM Auction Remedial
Window. Each of these entities will receive via Federal Express an
assigned temporary tax identification number (TIN) and password. This
assigned temporary TIN and password will be required to access the FCC
Form 175 submission software.

After the application has been submitted, the applicant will be required
to write a letter to the Commission requesting a change to their TIN.
The letter should contain the company name, []{.mark}FCC account number,
assigned temporary TIN and the company\'s actual TIN. This letter should
contain language authorizing the Commission to replace the assigned
temporary TIN with the company\'s actual TIN. This letter requesting a
TIN change should be addressed to Amy Zoslov, Chief, Auctions and
Industry Analysis Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12^th^ Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20554. A separate copy of the letter should be mailed to Kenneth
Burnley, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, 4-B524, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12^th^
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.

Branch, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau at (202) 418-0660; Jean Ann McGovern at the
Audio Services Division, Mass Media Bureau at (202) 418-2700.
