I. Construction Permits in Auction 79 

1. Auction 79 will offer 122 

construction permits in the FM 

broadcast service as specified in 

Attachment A of the Auction 79 

Comment Public Notice which lists 

vacant FM allotments, reflecting FM 

channels assigned to the Table of FM 

Allotments. Consistent with 47 U.S.C. 

309(j), the Wireless 

Telecommunications and Media 

Bureaus (Bureaus) seek comment on the 

following issues relating to Auction 79. 

A. Auction Structure 

i. Simultaneous Multiple-Round 

Auction Design 

2. The Bureaus propose to auction all 

construction permits included in 

Auction 79 using the Commission’s 

standard simultaneous multiple-round 

auction. This type of auction offers 

every construction permit for bid at the 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices 10579 

same time and consists of successive 

bidding rounds in which eligible 

bidders may place bids on individual 

construction permits. Typically, bidding 

remains open on all construction 

permits until bidding stops on every 

construction permit. The Bureaus seek 

comment on this proposal. 

ii. Round Structure 

3. The Commission will conduct 

Auction 79 over the Internet, and 

telephonic bidding will be available as 

well. The initial bidding schedule will 

be announced in a public notice to be 

released at least one week before the 

start of the auction. 

4. The auction will consist of 

sequential bidding rounds, each 

followed by the release of round results. 

The Bureaus propose to retain the 

discretion to change the bidding 

schedule in order to foster an auction 

pace that reasonably balances speed 

with the bidders’ need to study round 

results and adjust their bidding 

strategies. Under this proposal, the 

Bureaus may change the amount of time 

for the bidding rounds, amounts of time 

between rounds, or the number of 

rounds per day depending upon bidding 

activity and other factors. The Bureaus 

seek comment on this proposal. 

iii. Stopping Rule 

5. For Auction 79, the Bureaus 

propose to employ a simultaneous 

stopping rule approach. A simultaneous 

stopping rule means that bidding will 

close simultaneously on all construction 

permits after the first round in which no 

bidder submits any new bids, applies a 

proactive waiver, or withdraws a 

provisionally winning bid (if bid 

withdrawals are permitted). Thus, 

unless the Bureaus announce alternative 

procedures during the auction, bidding 

will remain open on all construction 

permits until bidding stops on every 

construction permit. However, the 

Bureaus propose to retain the discretion 

to exercise any of the following options 

during Auction 79: (a) Use a modified 

version of the simultaneous stopping 

rule. The modified stopping rule would 

close the auction for all construction 

permits after the first round in which no 

bidder applies a waiver, withdraws a 

provisionally winning bid (if bid 

withdrawals are permitted) or places 

any new bids on any construction 

permit for which it is not the 

provisionally winning bidder. Thus, 

absent any other bidding activity, a 

bidder placing a new bid on a 

construction permit for which it is the 

provisionally winning bidder would not 

keep the auction open under this 

modified stopping rule; (b) declare that 

the auction will end after a specified 

number of additional rounds (which is 

called a special stopping rule). If the 

Bureaus invoke this special stopping 

rule, they will accept bids in the 

specified final round(s) after which the 

auction will close, and (c) keep the 

auction open even if no bidder submits 

any new bids, applies a waiver or 

withdraws any provisionally winning 

bids (if permitted). In this event, the 

effect will be the same as if a bidder had 

applied a waiver. The activity rule will 

apply as usual, and a bidder with 

insufficient activity will either lose 

bidding eligibility or use a waiver. The 

Bureaus seek comment on these 

stopping rule proposals. 

iv. Information Relating to Auction 

Delay, Suspension, or Cancellation 

6. For Auction 79, the Bureaus 

propose that, by public notice or by 

announcement during the auction, the 

Bureaus may delay, suspend, or cancel 

the auction in the event of natural 

disaster, technical obstacle, 

administrative or weather necessity, 

evidence of an auction security breach 

or unlawful bidding activity, or for any 

other reason that affects the fair and 

efficient conduct of competitive 

bidding. In such cases, the Bureaus, in 

their sole discretion, may elect to 

resume the auction starting from the 

beginning of the current round, resume 

the auction starting from some previous 

round, or cancel the auction in its 

entirety. Network interruption may 

cause the Bureaus to delay or suspend 

the auction. The Bureaus emphasize 

that exercise of this authority is solely 

within the discretion of the Bureaus, 

and its use is not intended to be a 

substitute for situations in which 

bidders may wish to apply their activity 

rule waivers. The Bureaus seek 

comment on this proposal. 

B. Auction Procedures 

i. Upfront Payments and Bidding 

Eligibility 

7. The Bureaus have delegated 

authority and discretion to determine an 

appropriate upfront payment for each 

FM construction permit being 

auctioned. A bidder’s upfront payment 

is a refundable deposit made by each 

bidder to establish eligibility to bid on 

construction permits. Upfront payments 

protect against frivolous or insincere 

bidding and provide the Commission 

with a source of funds from which to 

collect payments owed at the close of 

the auction. With these considerations 

in mind, the Bureaus propose the 

upfront payments set forth in 

Attachment A of the Auction 79 

Comment Public Notice. 

8. The Bureaus further propose that 

the amount of the upfront payment 

submitted by a bidder will determine 

the bidder’s initial bidding eligibility in 

bidding units. The Bureaus propose that 

each construction permit be assigned a 

specific number of bidding units equal 

to the upfront payment listed in 

Attachment A of the Auction 79 

Comment Public Notice. The Bureaus 

seek comment on these proposals. 

ii. Activity Rule 

9. In order to ensure that the auction 

closes within a reasonable period of 

time, an activity rule requires bidders to 

bid actively throughout the auction, 

rather than wait until late in the auction 

before participating. A bidder’s activity 

in a round will be the sum of the 

bidding units associated with any 

construction permits upon which it 

places bids during the current round 

and the bidding units associated with 

any construction permits for which it 

holds provisionally winning bids. 

Bidders are required to be active on a 

specific percentage of their current 

bidding eligibility during each round of 

the auction. Failure to maintain the 

requisite activity level will result in the 

use of an activity rule waiver, if any 

remain, or a reduction in the bidder’s 

eligibility, possibly curtailing or 

eliminating the bidder’s ability to place 

additional bids in the auction. 

10. The Bureaus propose to divide the 

auction into at least two stages, each 

characterized by a different activity 

requirement. The auction will start in 

Stage One with a required 75 percent 

activity level. The Bureaus propose to 

advance the auction to the next stage 

with a required 95 percent activity level 

by announcement during the auction. In 

exercising this discretion, the Bureaus 

will consider a variety of measures of 

auction activity, including but not 

limited to the percentage of construction 

permits (as measured in bidding units) 

on which there are new bids, the 

number of new bids, and the increase in 

revenue. The Bureaus seek comment on 

this proposal. 

iii. Activity Rule Waivers and Reducing 

Eligibility 

11. Use of an activity rule waiver 

preserves the bidder’s eligibility despite 

the bidder’s activity in the current 

round being below the required 

minimum level. An activity rule waiver 

applies to an entire round of bidding, 

not to a particular construction permit. 

Activity rule waivers can be either 

proactive or automatic and are 

principally a mechanism for auction 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
10580 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices 

participants to avoid the loss of bidding 

eligibility in the event that exigent 

circumstances prevent them from 

bidding in a particular round. 

12. The Bureaus propose that each 

bidder in Auction 79 be provided with 

three activity rule waivers that may be 

used at the bidder’s discretion during 

the course of the auction. The Bureaus 

seek comment on this proposal. 

iv. Reserve Price or Minimum Opening 

Bids 

13. In light of 47 U.S.C. 309(j), the 

Bureaus propose to establish minimum 

opening bid amounts for Auction 79 as 

an effective bidding tool for accelerating 

the competitive bidding process. The 

Bureaus do not propose to establish a 

separate reserve price for the 

construction permits to be offered in 

Auction 79. 

14. For Auction 79, the Bureaus 

propose minimum opening bid amounts 

determined by taking into account the 

type of service and class of facility 

offered, market size, population covered 

by the proposed FM broadcast facility, 

and recent broadcast transaction data. 

This proposed minimum opening bid 

amount for each construction permit is 

set forth in Attachment A of the Auction 

79 Comment Public Notice. The Bureaus 

seek comment on this proposal. 

v. Bid Amounts 

15. The Bureaus propose that, in each 

round, eligible bidders be able to place 

a bid on a given construction permit in 

any of up to nine different amounts. 

Under this proposal, the FCC Auction 

System interface will list the acceptable 

bid amounts for each construction 

permit. 

16. The first of these nine acceptable 

bid amounts is called the minimum 

acceptable bid amount. The minimum 

acceptable bid amount for a 

construction permit will be equal to its 

minimum opening bid amount until 

there is a provisionally winning bid for 

the construction permit. After there is a 

provisionally winning bid for a 

construction permit, the minimum 

acceptable bid amount will be 

calculated by multiplying the 

provisionally winning bid amount times 

one plus the minimum acceptable bid 

percentage. 

17. For Auction 79, the Bureaus 

propose to use a minimum acceptable 

bid percentage of 10 percent. This 

means that the minimum acceptable bid 

amount for a construction permit will be 

approximately 10 percent greater than 

the provisionally winning bid amount 

for the construction permit. To calculate 

the eight additional acceptable bid 

amounts, the Bureaus propose to use a 

bid increment percentage of 5 percent. 

18. The Bureaus retain the discretion 

to change the minimum acceptable bid 

amounts, the minimum acceptable bid 

percentage, the bid increment 

percentage, and the number of 

acceptable bid amounts if the Bureaus 

determine that circumstances so dictate. 

Further, the Bureaus retain the 

discretion to do so on a construction 

permit-by-construction permit basis. 

The Bureaus also retain the discretion to 

limit (a) the amount by which a 

minimum acceptable bid for a 

construction permit may increase 

compared with the corresponding 

provisionally winning bid, and (b) the 

amount by which an additional bid 

amount may increase compared with 

the immediately preceding acceptable 

bid amount. The Bureaus seek comment 

on the circumstances under which the 

Bureaus should employ such a limit, 

factors it should consider when 

determining the dollar amount of the 

limit, and the tradeoffs in setting such 

a limit or changing other parameters, 

such as changing the minimum 

acceptable bid percentage, the bid 

increment percentage, or the number of 

acceptable bid amounts. If the Bureaus 

exercise this discretion, they will alert 

bidders by announcement in the FCC 

Auction System during the auction. The 

Bureaus seek comment on these 

proposals. 

vi. Provisionally Winning Bids 

19. Provisionally winning bids are 

bids that would become final winning 

bids if the auction were to close in a 

specific round. At the end of a bidding 

round, the winning bid for each 

construction permit will be determined 

based on the highest bid amount 

received for the construction permit. In 

the event of identical high bid amounts 

being submitted on a construction 

permit in a given round (i.e., tied bids), 

the Bureaus will use a random number 

generator to select a single provisionally 

winning bid from among the tied bids. 

The remaining bidders, as well as the 

provisionally winning bidder, can 

submit higher bids in subsequent 

rounds. However, if the auction were to 

end with no other bids being placed, the 

winning bidder would be the one that 

placed the provisionally winning bid. If 

any bids are received on the 

construction permit in a subsequent 

round, the provisionally winning bid 

again will be determined by the highest 

bid amount received for the 

construction permit. 

20. A provisionally winning bid will 

remain the provisionally winning bid 

until there is a higher bid on the 

construction permit at the close of a 

subsequent round, unless the 

provisionally winning bid is withdrawn 

(if bid withdrawals are permitted). 

Bidders are reminded that provisionally 

winning bids count toward activity for 

purposes of the activity rule. 

vii. Bid Removal and Bid Withdrawal 

21. For Auction 79, the Bureaus 

propose the following bid removal 

procedures. Before the close of a 

bidding round, a bidder has the option 

of removing any bid placed in that 

round. By removing selected bids in the 

FCC Auction System, a bidder may 

effectively unsubmit any bid placed 

within that round. In contrast to the bid 

withdrawal provisions, a bidder 

removing a bid placed in the same 

round is not subject to a withdrawal 

payment. Once a round closes, a bidder 

may no longer remove a bid. The 

Bureaus seek comment on this bid 

removal proposal. 

22. Where permitted in an auction, 

bid withdrawals provide a bidder with 

the option of withdrawing bids placed 

in prior rounds that have become 

provisionally winning bids. If 

permitted, a bidder that withdraws its 

provisionally winning bid(s) is subject 

to the bid withdrawal payment 

provisions of the Commission’s rules. 

Based on rulemaking order guidance 

and the experience of the Bureaus in 

prior FM auctions, the Bureaus propose 

to prohibit bidders in this auction from 

withdrawing any bids after the round in 

which bids were placed has closed. The 

Bureaus seek comment on whether bid 

withdrawals should be permitted in 

Auction 79. 

C. Post-Auction Payments 

i. Interim Withdrawal Payment 

Percentage 

23. If withdrawals are allowed in this 

auction, the Bureaus seek comment on 

the appropriate percentage of a 

withdrawn bid that should be assessed 

as an interim withdrawal payment, in 

the event that a final withdrawal 

payment cannot be determined at the 

close of the auction. In general, the 

Commission’s rules provide that a 

bidder that withdraws a bid during an 

auction is subject to a withdrawal 

payment equal to the difference between 

the amount of the withdrawn bid and 

the amount of the winning bid in the 

same or a subsequent auction. However, 

if a construction permit for which a bid 

has been withdrawn does not receive a 

subsequent higher bid or winning bid in 

the same auction, the final withdrawal 

payment cannot be calculated until a 

corresponding construction permit 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices 10581 

receives a higher bid or winning bid in 

a subsequent auction. When that final 

payment cannot yet be calculated, the 

bidder responsible for the withdrawn 

bid is assessed an interim bid 

withdrawal payment, which will be 

applied toward any final bid withdrawal 

payment that is ultimately assessed. The 

Commission’s rules provide that in 

advance of each auction, the 

Commission shall establish a percentage 

between three percent and twenty 

percent of the withdrawn bid to be 

assessed as an interim bid withdrawal 

payment. 

24. The Commission has indicated 

that the level of the interim withdrawal 

payment in a particular auction will be 

based on the nature of the service and 

the inventory of the construction 

permits being offered. The Commission 

noted that it may impose a higher 

interim withdrawal payment percentage 

to deter the anti-competitive use of 

withdrawals when, for example, bidders 

likely will not need to aggregate 

construction permits offered, such as 

when few construction permits are 

offered, the construction permits offered 

are not on adjacent frequencies or in 

adjacent areas, or there are few 

synergies to be captured by combining 

construction permits. 

25. Applying the reasoning that a 

higher interim withdrawal payment 

percentage is appropriate when 

aggregation of construction permits is 

not expected, as with the construction 

permits subject to competitive bidding 

in Auction 79, if the Bureaus allow bid 

withdrawals in this auction, the Bureaus 

propose an interim bid withdrawal 

payment of twenty percent of the 

withdrawn bid for this auction. The 

Bureaus seek comment on this proposal. 

ii. Additional Default Payment 

Percentage 

26. Any winning bidder that defaults 

or is disqualified after the close of an 

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) is 

liable for a default payment under 47 

CFR 1.2104(g)(2). This payment consists 

of a deficiency payment, equal to the 

difference between the amount of the 

bidder’s bid and the amount of the 

winning bid the next time a 

construction permit covering the same 

spectrum is won in an auction, plus an 

additional payment equal to a 

percentage of the defaulter’s bid or of 

the subsequent winning bid, whichever 

is less. 

27. As previously noted by the 

Commission, defaults weaken the 

integrity of the auction process and may 

impede the deployment of service to the 

public. In light of these considerations 

for Auction 79, the Bureaus propose to 

establish an additional default payment 

of twenty percent of the relevant bid as 

more effective in deterring defaults than 

a smaller percentage. The Bureaus seek 

comment on this proposal. 

II. Commission ex parte Rules 

28. This proceeding has been 

designated as a permit-but-disclose 

proceeding in accordance with the 

Commission’s ex parte rules. Persons 

making oral ex parte presentations are 

reminded that memoranda summarizing 

the presentations must contain 

summaries of the substance of the 

presentations and not merely a listing of 

the subjects discussed. More than a one 

or two sentence description of the views 

and arguments presented is generally 

required. Other rules pertaining to oral 

and written ex parte presentations in 

permit-but-disclose proceedings are set 

forth in 47 CFR 1.1206(b).
