MHz Service license won through the

auction. Winning bidders that are small

businesses or very small businesses

must include an exhibit demonstrating

their eligibility for bidding credits. See

47 CFR 90.1013. Further filing

instructions will be provided to auction

winners at the close of the auction.

C. Default and Disqualification

113. Any high bidder that defaults or

is disqualified after the close of the

auction (i.e., fails to remit the required

down payment within the prescribed

period of time, fails to submit a timely

long-form application, fails to make full

payment, or is otherwise disqualified)

will be subject to the payments

described in 47 CFR 1.2104(g)(2). In

such event the Commission may reauction the license or offer it to the next

highest bidders (in descending order) at

their final bids. See 47 CFR 1.2109(b)

and (c). In addition, if a default or

disqualification involves gross

misconduct, misrepresentation, or bad

faith by an applicant, the Commission

may declare the applicant and its

principals ineligible to bid in future

auctions, and may take any other action

that it deems necessary, including

institution of proceedings to revoke any

existing licenses held by the applicant.

See 47 CFR 1.2109(d).

D. Refund of Remaining Upfront

Payment Balance

114. All applicants that submitted

upfront payments but were not winning

bidders for any Phase II 220 MHz

Service license may be entitled to a

refund of their remaining upfront

payment balance after the conclusion of

the auction. No refund will be made

unless there are excess funds on deposit

from that applicant after any applicable

bid withdrawal payments have been

paid.

115. Bidders that drop out of the

auction completely may be eligible for

a refund of their upfront payments

before the close of the auction.

However, bidders that reduce their

eligibility and remain in the auction are

not eligible for partial refunds of upfront

payments until the close of the auction.

Qualified bidders that have exhausted

all of their activity rule waivers, have no

remaining bidding eligibility, and have

not withdrawn a high bid during the

auction must submit a written refund

request which includes wire transfer

instructions, a Taxpayer Identification

Number (‘‘TIN’’), and a copy of their

bidding eligibility screen print, to:

Federal Communications Commission,

Billings and Collections Branch, Attn:

to the Billings and Collections Branch at

been approved, a refund will be sent to

the address provided on the FCC Form

respond to this event as authorized under

subsection 502(a) of the Stafford Act.

In addition, you are authorized to provide

such other forms of emergency assistance as

you may deem necessary.

Emergency assistance which you provide

pursuant to this declaration will be at 75

hereby appoint Carolyn J. Coleman of
