If an applicant has an FCC Form 602 in the Commissions Universal Licensing System (ULS) prior to
the FCC Form 601 filing deadline, applicants are responsible for checking to ensure that the information
on the FCC Form 602 on file with the Commission is complete and accurate.  If an applicant needs to file
a new or updated FCC Form 602 to reflect ownership changes submitted in the bidders FCC Form 175 or
to make additional updates, ULS can pre-fill the FCC Form 602 with the applicable ownership
information from the FCC Form 175.  Applicants will be able to update any pre-filled information and are
responsible for checking to ensure that all information, including information pre-filled from the FCC
Form 175 submission, is complete and accurate.  Instructions for filing the FCC Form 602 are provided in
Section V of this attachment.
I.  FCC FORM 601 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the format below to submit FCC Form 601 and exhibits to
FCC Form 601 as required by the Commissions rules.  Following this format will help expedite
processing of FCC Form 601 and minimize follow-up requests for missing or clarifying information.
Applicants bear full responsibility for submission of timely and complete FCC Form 601 applications.
Applicants should read the instructions on the FCC Form 601 carefully and should consult the
Commissions rules to ensure that, in addition to the materials described below, all the information that is
required under the rules is included with their FCC Form 601 applications.  Each applicant is responsible
for the continuing accuracy and completeness of information furnished in a pending application.  See 47
C.F.R.  1.65. Incomplete or defective applications may be returned to the applicant.  See 47 C.F.R.
 1.934(a), (d), (f); see also 47 C.F.R.  1.933(b).
Applicants must file FCC Form 601 electronically.  An applicant that fails to submit the required FCC
Form 601 application(s) prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on September 9, 2008, and fails to
establish good cause for any late-filed submissions, shall be deemed to have defaulted and will be subject
to the default payments set forth in Section 1.2104(g) of the Commissions rules.  See 47 C.F.R. 
1.2104(g), 1.2107(c).
E-2
Number of Forms To Be Filed. Applicants applying for multiple licenses may submit one FCC Form
601 (including all required schedules, attachments, and exhibits) if all filing requirements associated with
the application are identical except for the market designator(s) and market names(s).  However, an
applicant seeking tribal lands bidding credits in one or more markets, but not all markets, is encouraged to
submit two applications in order to separate those markets in which the applicant intends to apply for a
tribal lands bidding credit from those markets in which the applicant is not seeking tribal lands bidding
credit.
Note:  Applicants winning both AWS-1 and broadband PCS licenses in Auction 78 must complete a
separate FCC Form 601 for each radio service.
The CSEA/Part 1 Report and Order modified the procedures by which a consortium that is a winning
bidder applies for a license.1 In particular, (a) each member or group of members of a winning
consortium seeking separate licenses will be required to file a separate FCC Form 601 for its/their
respective license(s) and, in the case of a license to be partitioned or disaggregated, the member or group
filing the applicable FCC Form 601 shall provide the parties partitioning or disaggregation agreement in
the FCC Form 601; (b) two or more consortium members seeking to be licensed together shall first form a
legal business entity; and (c) any such entity must meet the applicable eligibility requirements in our rules
for small business status.2 The consortium members must use the consortiums FCC Registration
Number (FRN) when filing their separate FCC Forms 601.3 Within 10 business days after the grant of
an FCC Form 601, each licensee must substitute its individual FRN for that of the consortium.4
II. FILING FCC FORM 601

As specified in the instructions to the FCC Form 601, each page of each exhibit must be identified with
the number or letter of the exhibit, the number of the page of the exhibit, and the total number of pages of
the exhibit.
EXHIBIT A: OWNERSHIP INFORMATION
Section 1.2112 of the Commissions rules requires that each applicant for a license shall disclose fully the
real party- or parties-in-interest.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112.  This requirement may be fulfilled by providing
an attachment referencing the file number, date, and name of filer of the appropriate FCC Form 602
application.  For information regarding the filing of the FCC Form 602, see Section V of this attachment.
To provide this information, applicants should upload the file, select Attachment Type Ownership, and
enter Exhibit A: Ownership in the Description field on the Attachments page.
Although ownership information can be provided by referencing the FCC Form 602, applicants should
confirm that their FCC Form 602 accurately reflects all information discussed below and as required
under Section 1.2112 of the Commissions rules.
Direct Ownership.  An applicant must provide information regarding its direct ownership as follows:
 General Rule: The applicant must provide the name, address, and citizenship of any party holding
10 percent or more of stock in the applicant, whether voting or nonvoting, common or preferred,
including the specific amount of the interest or percentage held.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(2).
 If the applicant is a general partnership, provide the name, address, and citizenship of each
partner, and the share or interest participation in the partnership.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(4).
 If the applicant is a limited partnership, provide the name, address, and citizenship of each limited
partner whose interest in the applicant is 10 percent or greater (as calculated according to either
the percentage of equity paid in or the percentage of distribution of profits and losses).  See 47
C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(3).  In addition, if the applicant is a limited partnership, provide the name,
address, and citizenship of each general partner, and the share or interest participation in the
partnership.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(1).
 If the applicant is a limited liability company, provide the name, address, and citizenship of each
of its members whose interest in the applicant is 10 percent or greater.  See 47 C.F.R.
 1.2112(a)(5).
Indirect Ownership.  Applicants must identify all parties holding a 10 percent or greater indirect
ownership interest in the applicant, as determined by successive multiplication of the ownership
percentages for each link in the vertical ownership chain.  If the ownership percentage for an interest in
any link in the chain exceeds fifty percent or represents actual control, it shall be treated and reported as if
it were a one hundred percent interest.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(6).
Other Disclosable Interests and Entities. Applicants must list any Commission-licensed or regulated
entity or applicant for a Commission license or authorization in which the applicant or any of the parties
identified in Sections 1.2112(a)(1)-(5) of the Commissions rules owns 10 percent or more ownership
interest, whether voting or nonvoting, common or preferred.  This list must include a description of each
such entitys principal business and a description of each entitys relationship to the applicant.  See 47
C.F.R.  1.2112(a)(7).
E-8
Complex Ownership Situations. To facilitate the long-form review process, applicants whose
ownership structures involve multiple layers are encouraged to provide a narrative and organizational
chart detailing the relationships of the various entities.
EXHIBIT B: FOREIGN OWNERSHIP
If the applicant has responded Yes to Question 48a and Yes to Question 48b on the FCC Form 601, it
must attach to the application an exhibit that identifies the citation(s) of the applicable declaratory
ruling(s) by DA/FCC number or the FCC Record citation, if available, release date, and any other
identifying information.  If the applicant has responded Yes to Question 48a and No to Question 48b
on the FCC Form 601, it must attach to the application a date-stamped copy of a request for a foreign
ownership ruling pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  310(b)(4).  It is
not necessary to file a request for a foreign ownership ruling if the applicant attaches to the application an
exhibit showing that the requested license is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b)(4).  To
provide the information required, the applicant should select Attachment Type Ownership and enter
Exhibit B: Foreign Ownership in the Description field on the Attachments page.  For every direct or
indirect foreign owner, applicant should provide the following information:
 Item (1) Percentage of Interest: Identify each foreign owners percentage of ownership (direct
and indirect) in the applicant.
 Item (2) Country of Origin and Address: List each foreign owners country of citizenship and
principal place of business.
 Item (3) Public Interest Statement: Demonstrate how allowing the applicant to hold the requested
license is consistent with the Commissions policies pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.  In the Foreign Participation Order,9 the Commission
stated that there is a presumption that indirect foreign ownership of common carrier radio
licensees by entities whose home markets are World Trade Organization (WTO) members does
not raise competitive concerns. If more than twenty-five percent of the ownership of an entity
that controls a common carrier radio licensee is attributable to parties whose home markets are
non-WTO member countries, the Commission will evaluate whether those markets offer effective
competitive opportunities to U.S. investors.10
 Item (4) Petitions for Declaratory Ruling: As explained in the Commissions Foreign
Participation Order, licensees must seek the Commissions prior approval before accepting
indirect foreign ownership that causes them to exceed Section 310(b)(4)s twenty-five percent
benchmark.11 In keeping with this pre-approval process, auction applicants are required to certify
in their FCC Form 175 applications either that they are in compliance with the foreign ownership
requirements of Section 310 or that they have filed a request for relief from those requirements
that is pending with the Commission.12 Similarly, where foreign ownership is at issue, applicants
must indicate in their FCC Form 601 applications that they either have received a declaratory

ruling that grants them permission to exceed the statutory benchmark of Section 310(b)(4) or that
they have a request currently pending at the Commission.  Applicants are advised that petitions
for a declaratory ruling to exceed the Section 310(b)(4) benchmark must be granted before any
license for which the applicant is a high bidder may be granted.
Petitions for a declaratory ruling to exceed the Section 310(b)(4) twenty-five-percent statutory benchmark
should be addressed to the Secretary, with a copy to the Policy Division of the International Bureau, and
must be filed in paper form.  There is no fee associated with such a filing.  For additional guidance on
how the Commission analyzes foreign ownership issues, see Foreign Ownership Guidelines for FCC
Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licenses, Public Notice, 19 FCC Rcd 22612 (2004), erratum,
21 FCC Rcd 6484 (2006).  Inquiries regarding compliance with Section 310 of the Communications Act
and the filing and processing of petitions for declaratory ruling should be directed to David Krech,
Associate Division Chief, Policy Division, International Bureau, at (202) 418-1460 or by e-mail to
david.krech@fcc.gov.
EXHIBIT C: DESIGNATED ENTITIES
As noted previously, revenue information for the Applicant, Disclosable Interest Holder(s), and
Affiliate(s) will be pre-filled from the FCC Form 175 into the FCC Form 601.  Applicants, however, must
review the pre-filled designated entity information and confirm its accuracy by applying the guidelines
provided below.  If necessary, applicants can update the pre-filled revenue information in their FCC Form
601.  Any other designated entity information must be provided by uploading a file, selecting Attachment
Type Ownership and entering Exhibit C: Designated Entities in the Description field on the
Attachments page.  For example, applicants can use Exhibit C to provide information for entities with
which they have an attributable material relationship as required by our rules.  In addition, applicants can
use Exhibit C to explain any updates to the pre-filled information from the FCC Form 175, why certain
entities should not be attributed to the applicant, and why certain relationships should not be considered
attributable or impermissible material relationships.
Pursuant to Section 1.2110(f)(1) of the Commissions rules, the Commission may award bidding credits
(i.e., payment discounts) to eligible designated entities.  Sections 1.2110(f)(2), 24.712, and 27.1102 of the
Commissions rules specify the following designated entities as eligible for bidding credits in the AWS-1
and Broadband PCS Auction (Auction 78): a very small business, a small business, a consortium of very
small businesses, and a consortium of small businesses.
 Very Small Businesses under Section 1.2110(f)(2)(iii): A very small business is an entity that,
together with its affiliates and controlling interests, has had average annual gross revenues not
exceeding $15 million for the preceding three years.  Very small businesses are eligible for
bidding credits of twenty-five percent (25%) to lower the cost of their winning bids.  See 47
C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(2)(iii), 24.712(b), 24.720(b)(2), 27.1102(b)(2).
 Small Businesses under Section 1.2110(f)(2)(ii): A small business is an entity that, together
with its affiliates and controlling interests, has had average gross revenues that exceed $15
million but do not exceed $40 million for the preceding three years.  Small businesses are eligible
for bidding credits of fifteen percent (15%) to lower the cost of their winning bids.  See 47
C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(2)(ii), 24.712(a), 24.720(b)(1), 27.1102(b)(1).
Gross Revenues Test for Very Small Businesses and Small Businesses. For purposes of determining
whether an applicant is eligible for status as a very small business or a small business, the gross revenues
of the applicant, its affiliates, its controlling interests, the affiliates of its controlling interests, and the
E-10
entities with which it has an attributable material relationship13 shall be considered on a cumulative basis
and aggregated.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(b)(1), 1.2112(b)(2).  In accordance with Section 1.2110(o) of
the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(o), the applicant must provide the gross revenues for the
most recently completed three calendar or fiscal years preceding the filing of the applicants FCC Form
175, separately and in the aggregate for the applicant, each of its affiliates, each of its controlling
interests, each of the affiliates of its controlling interests, and each of the entities with which it has an
attributable material relationship.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(b)(2)(v); see also 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(b)(1)(i).
Gross revenues for purposes of determining eligibility are defined in 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(o).
For a Consortium of Very Small Businesses and a Consortium of Small Businesses.  Applicants that
applied as a consortium of very small businesses or a consortium of small businesses, as described in
Section 1.2110(b)(3)(i) of the Commissions rules, must compute and indicate gross revenues as outlined
above for each very small business or small business in the consortium.  That is, each business entity
comprising the very small business or small business consortium must qualify and show gross revenues
separately.  The average gross revenues of the individual very small businesses or small businesses in the
consortium shall not be aggregated.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(b)(3)(i).  As stated above, each consortium
member, which must be a separate, distinct and independent legal entity, must file a separate FCC Form
601 and FCC Form 602.14 When filing the FCC Form 601, each entity comprising a consortium should
report the gross revenues of only that particular consortium member, along with its affiliates, its
controlling interests, the affiliates of its controlling interests, and the entities with which it has an
attributable material relationship.
For a Rural Telephone Cooperative. An applicant that is a rural telephone cooperative is exempt for
the purpose of attribution from Section 1.2110(c)(2)(ii)(F) of the Commissions rules, if it complies with
Section 1.2110(b)(3)(iii) of the Commissions rules.15 Section 1.2110(c)(2)(ii)(F) states that officers and
directors of an applicant shall be considered to have a controlling interest.  In the absence of such an
exemption, gross revenues of all controlling interests, including officers and directors, must be attributed
to the applicant for purposes of claiming eligibility for designated entity benefits.16
In this attachment, an applicant seeking the rural telephone cooperative exemption needs to demonstrate
how it complies with Section 1.2110(b)(3)(iii) of the Commissions rules.  An applicant will be exempt
from attributing the officers and directors of the applicant and the controlling interests, if the applicant or
a controlling interest is:
 Organized as a cooperative pursuant to state law;17
 A rural telephone company as defined by the Communications Act; and
 Eligible for tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code or that it adheres to the
cooperative principles articulated in Puget Sound Plywood, Inc. v. Commission of Internal
Revenue, 44 T.C. 305 (1965).18

Material Relationships. Applicants are ineligible for the award of designated entity benefits when an
applicant has agreements with one or more other entities for the lease (under either spectrum manager or
de facto transfer leasing arrangements) or resale (including under a wholesale arrangement) of, on a
cumulative basis, more than 50 percent of its spectrum capacity of any individual license.19 An applicant
has an attributable material relationship when an applicant has one or more agreements with any
individual entity, including entities and individuals attributable to that entity, for the lease (under either
spectrum manager or de facto transfer leasing arrangements) or resale (including under a wholesale
arrangement) of, on a cumulative basis, more than 25 percent of the spectrum capacity of any individual
license that is held by the applicant or licensee.20
Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business and Rural Telephone Companies. The Commission
is interested in the status of applicants as minority-owned and women-owned businesses and rural
telephone companies for statistical purposes, even if the applicant is ineligible for bidding credits.  See 47
C.F.R.  1.2110(c)(3), (4).  This information is collected in ULS and does not need to be included in an
attachment.
EXHIBIT D: AGREEMENTS & OTHER INSTRUMENTS
Bidding Agreements. Applicants must provide a detailed explanation of the terms and conditions and
parties involved in any bidding consortia, joint ventures, partnerships, or other agreements or
arrangements entered into relating to the competitive bidding process prior to the time the bidding was
completed.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2107(d).  Note:  A list of the agreements disclosed on the FCC Form 175
will be pre-filled on the FCC Form 601, but should be updated if necessary.  Any other additional
information should be provided by uploading a file, selecting Attachment Type Other and entering
Exhibit D: Agreements & Other Instruments in the Description field on the Attachments page.
Other Agreements. To comply with the requirements of Sections 1.2110(j) and 1.2112(b)(2)(iii)-(iv),
(vi)-(vii) of the Commissions rules, all agreements must be listed on the FCC Form 601 and applicants

and attributable material relationships.22 Applicants must also list and summarize any agreements that
they have entered into for the lease or resale/wholesale of any of the spectrum capacity of the licenses
and, if seeking the rural telephone cooperative exemption, all documentation to establish eligibility
pursuant to Section 1.2110(b)(3)(iii)(A) of the Commissions rules.23 Further, applicants must list and
summarize any investor protection agreements, including rights of first refusal, supermajority clauses,
options, veto rights, rights to hire and fire employees, and to appoint members to boards of directors or
management committees.24 Pursuant to Sections 1.2110(j) and 1.2112(b)(2)(i) of the Commissions rules,
such agreements and instruments include, but are not limited to:
 Articles of incorporation and bylaws;
 Shareholder agreements;
 Voting or other trust agreements;
 Partnership or LLC agreements;
 Management agreements;
 Joint marketing agreements;
 Franchise agreements;
 Lease and resale/wholesale agreements; and
 Any other relevant agreements (including letters of intent), oral or written.
Applicants must upload the information in a file, select Attachment Type Other and enter Exhibit D:
Agreements & Other Instruments in the Description field on the Attachments page.  Copies of
agreements required by Section 1.2110(j) of the Commissions rules must be included in Exhibit D.25
Applicants with a significant number of reportable agreements or significantly lengthy agreements can
elect to submit a separate Exhibit D attachment for the summary of agreements and for each agreement
itself.  For those applicants with significant upload requirements, submitting separate agreements would
ease the electronic filing process on ULS.  For example, an applicant can submit one attachment for the
list and summary of agreements and upload it with the caption Exhibit D: List and Summary of
Agreements and then submit an attachment for each agreement, e.g., Exhibit D: LLC Agreement,
Exhibit D: Lease Agreement.  Applicants may elect to seek confidentiality for the agreements pursuant
to Section 0.459 of the Commissions rules.  See 47 C.F.R.  0.459; see also discussion of confidentiality
requests under Confidentiality Requests below.
EXHIBIT E: CONFIDENTIALITY REQUESTS
Applicants should be aware that all information required by the Commissions rules is necessary to
determine the applicants qualifications to be a Commission licensee and, as such, will be available for
public inspection.  Information that is commercial, financial, privileged, or that contains a trade secret
may be redacted, and confidentiality may be sought pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commissions rules.
See 47 C.F.R.  0.459.  Applicants requesting confidential treatment for any information required as a
condition to participate in the auction must follow the procedures set out in Section 0.459 of the
Commissions rules.  Because the required information bears on an applicants qualifications, the
Commission envisions that confidentiality requests will not be granted routinely.
22 See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(j), 1.2112(b)(2)(i).
23 See 47 C.F.R.  1.2112(b)(2)(vi)-(vii).

If an applicant has sought confidential treatment of any information, it must attach a statement explaining
the request and referencing the particular information for which confidential treatment has been
requested.  To provide this information, applicants should upload this statement as a file, select
Attachment Type Other and enter Exhibit E: Confidentiality Requests in the Description field on
the Attachments page.
Note:  Applicants must select Attachment Type Confidentiality for the particular exhibit for
which they are requesting confidential treatment.  Otherwise, the attachment will be available for
public inspection.
EXHIBIT F: WAIVER REQUESTS
Note:  This part does not apply to tribal lands waiver requests.  For tribal lands bidding credit
waiver requests, see Section IV, Exhibit X: Tribal Lands Bidding Credit Waiver Requests.
In the event an applicant wishes to file a request for waiver of a Commission rule, see 47 C.F.R.  1.925,
the request should be filed with the corresponding application.  Applicants should upload this waiver
request as a file, select Attachment Type Waiver and enter Exhibit F: Waiver Requests in the
Description field on the Attachments page.
Waiver requests filed after the submission of the FCC Form 601 may result in a delay of the processing of
the application.  If a request for waiver is filed separately from the FCC Form 601, such request must
refer to the corresponding application, including its file number.
EXHIBIT G: MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
In the event that a winning bidder wishes to provide any additional information that does not fall within
any of the other exhibits, these documents or files should be submitted by selecting Attachment Type
Other and entering Exhibit G: Miscellaneous Information in the Description field on the
Attachments page.
EXHIBIT H: CLOSED BIDDING ELIGIBILITY
As noted previously, revenue and asset information for the Applicant, Disclosable Interest Holder(s), and
Affiliate(s) will be pre-filled from the FCC Form 175 into the FCC Form 601.  Applicants, however, must
review the pre-filled closed bidding information and confirm its accuracy by applying the guidelines
provided below.  If necessary, applicants can update the pre-filled revenue and asset information in their
FCC Form 601.  Any other closed bidding information must be provided by uploading a file, selecting
Attachment Type Ownership and entering Exhibit H: Closed Bidding Eligibility in the Description
field on the Attachments page.  For example, applicants can use Exhibit H to provide information for
entity(ies) with which the applicant has an attributable material relationship as required by our rules.  In
addition, applicants can use Exhibit H to explain updates to the pre-filled information from the
FCC Form 175.
Pursuant to Section 24.709 of the Commissions rules, each applicant that won licenses in closed bidding
must demonstrate that it is eligible to hold those licenses.  In order to be eligible to be granted one or
more closed bidding licenses, an applicant must demonstrate that the applicant, its controlling interests,26

its affiliates, the affiliates of its controlling interests, and the entities with which it has an attributable
material relationship27 have combined total assets of less than $500 million and have had combined gross
revenues of less than $125 million in each of the last two years.  See 47 C.F.R. 24.709(a)(1).  The gross
revenues and total assets should be considered on a cumulative basis and aggregated for purposes of
determining whether the applicant is eligible for closed bidding licenses.  See 47 C.F.R. 24.709(a)(2).
EXHIBIT I: GEOGRAPHIC OVERLAP STATEMENT
Applicants should state whether any of the spectrum to be acquired by the applicant as a result of this
auction would create a geographic overlap with other spectrum in which the applicant, or an affiliate of
the applicant, already holds a direct or indirect interest (of 10 percent or more), either as a licensee or
spectrum lessee, and that also could be used to provide interconnected mobile voice and/or data
services.28

Applicants indicating that they intend to serve a qualifying tribal land in any market(s) listed on the
application will have an additional 180 days after the FCC Form 601 deadline within which to secure the
necessary certifications from tribal authorities.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(3)(ii).  Within this 180-day
period, applicants must amend their FCC Form 601 to (1) select the tribal lands to be served, (2) provide
the requisite tribal government certifications, and (3) provide the applicant certification that it will, among
other things, comply with the construction requirements set forth in 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(3)(vii).  An
applicant may provide the certifications when initially filing the FCC Form 601 or, after the filing
window, an applicant may re-enter ULS and update the FCC Form 601 to provide the certifications.  (See
the instructions, Updating the Tribal Lands Information through Electronic Filing below.)  Applicants
seeking a tribal lands bidding credit for some, but not all, markets and individual radio service codes in
which they were the winning bidder are encouraged to submit two applications for each radio service
code for which they are submitting FCC Form 601.  One application will include markets in which the
applicant intends to apply for a tribal lands bidding credit.  The other application will include those
markets in which the applicant is not seeking a tribal lands bidding credit.  In this auction, if an applicant
were to win both AWS and PCS licenses, and were to seek tribal lands bidding credit for some but not all
of the AWS licenses and some but not all of the PCS licenses, the applicant would submit four separate
FCC Form 601 applications.
Any applicant that intends to apply for tribal lands bidding credits in one or more markets must do so by
the filing deadline for the FCC Form 601 (i.e., by September 9, 2008).  Applicants will not be permitted
to amend their applications after the filing deadline to indicate that they intend to seek a tribal lands
bidding credit for any market.  However, it is possible for applicants to update an application to indicate
that they no longer intend to seek a tribal lands bidding credit in a particular market.  Applicants that elect
to seek the tribal lands bidding credit when they initially submit the FCC Form 601, but then
subsequently decide not to seek the credit, should update their applications to delete the request for the
tribal lands bidding credit.
Updating the Tribal Lands Information through Electronic Filing
To update a FCC Form 601 during the filing window (before it has been submitted to the FCC), see
Updating an Application in Section II above.  To update a FCC Form 601 application for tribal lands

ULS will calculate the bidding credit amount for each market automatically, according to the size (in
square kilometers) of the tribal territory within the market, and in compliance with the bidding credit
limit.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(3)(iii), (iv).  If multiple spectrum blocks are won in the same market, the
winning bid amounts for the spectrum blocks serving tribal lands will be aggregated and the bidding
credit limit will be applied against the aggregated amount.31
If the applicant is seeking a bidding credit in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to Section
1.2110(f)(3), the applicant must submit a waiver request, pursuant to Section 1.925 of the Commissions
Rules.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.925.  Each waiver request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. See

EXHIBIT Y: TRIBAL GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATION
Within the 180-day period following the FCC Form 601 filing deadline, the applicant must amend its
FCC Form 601 to select the tribal lands it intends to serve and to provide the required tribal government
certifications for each tribal land selected.  See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(3)(ii)(A).  The tribal government
certifications must be signed by an officer, allotment owner(s), or corporate officer of the tribal land,
Indian allotment, or Alaska Native land, respectively, and uploaded as an Adobe PDF file.  Each tribal
government certification should be attached separately by selecting Attachment Type Tribal Government

A tribal government certification must state that:
1. The tribal area to be served by the winning bidder is a federally-recognized
Indian tribes reservation, Pueblo, Colony, Alaska Native region, or Indian
allotment, and has a wireline telephone penetration rate at or below eighty-
five (85) percent;32
2. The tribal government has not and will not enter into an exclusive contract
with the applicant precluding entry by other carriers, and will not
unreasonably discriminate among wireless carriers seeking to provide service
on the qualifying tribal land; and
3. The tribal government will permit the applicant to site facilities and provide
service on its tribal land.
See 47 C.F.R.  1.2110(f)(3)(ii)(A)(1)-(3).
EXHIBIT Z: TRIBAL LANDS BIDDING CREDIT APPLICANT CERTIFICATION
An applicant seeking a tribal lands bidding credit must attach a certification stating that it will comply
with the build out requirements set forth in Section 1.2110(f)(3)(vi) of the Commissions rules and that it
