V. Post-Auction Procedures

A. Down Payments and Withdrawn Bid

Payments

126. After bidding has ended, the

Commission will issue a public notice

declaring the auction closed, identifying

winning bidders, down payments and

any withdrawn bid payments due.

127. Within ten business days after

release of the auction closing notice,

each winning bidder must submit

sufficient funds (in addition to its

upfront payment) to bring its total

amount of money on deposit with the

Government to 20 percent of its net

winning bids (actual bids less any

applicable small business bidding

credits). See 47 CFR 1.2107(b). In

addition, by the same deadline all

bidders must pay any bid withdrawal

payments due under 47 CFR 1.2104(g),

as discussed in ‘‘Bid Removal and Bid

Withdrawal,’’ Part IV.B.vi. (Payments

are applied first to satisfy any

withdrawn bid liability, before being

applied toward down payments.)

B. Long-Form Application

128. Within ten business days after

release of the auction closing notice,

winning bidders must electronically

submit a properly completed long-form

application (FCC Form 601) and

required exhibits for each license won

through Auction No. 40. Winning

bidders that are small businesses must

include an exhibit demonstrating their

eligibility for small business bidding

credits. See 47 CFR 1.2112(b),

24.709(c)(2)(i). Further filing

instructions will be provided to auction

winners at the close of the auction.

C. Tribal Land Bidding Credit

129. A winning bidder that intends to

use its license(s) to deploy facilities and

provide services to federally-recognized

tribal lands that are unserved by any

telecommunications carrier or that have

a telephone service penetration rate

equal to or below 70 percent is eligible

to receive a tribal land bidding credit as

set forth in 47 CFR 1.2107 and

1.2110(e). A tribal land bidding credit is

in addition to, and separate from, any

other bidding credit for which a

winning bidder may qualify.

130. Unlike other bidding credits that

are requested prior to the auction, a

winning bidder applies for the tribal

land bidding credit after winning the

auction when it files its long-form

application (FCC Form 601). When

filing the long-form application, the

winning bidder will be required to

advise the Commission whether it

intends to seek a tribal land bidding

credit, for each market won in the

auction, by checking the designated

box(es). After stating its intent to seek a

tribal land bidding credit, the applicant

will have 90 days from the close of the

long-form filing window to amend its

application to select the specific tribal

lands to be served and provide the

required tribal government

certifications. Licensees receiving a

tribal land bidding credit are subject to

performance criteria as set forth in 47

CFR 1.2110(e).

131. For additional information on the

tribal land bidding credit, including

how the amount of the credit is

calculated, applicants should review the

Commission’s rule making proceeding

regarding tribal land bidding credits and

related public notices. Relevant

documents can be viewed on the

Commission’s web site by going to http:/

/www.fcc.gov/wtb/auctions and clicking

on Information on Tribal Land Bidding

Credits.

D. Default and Disqualification

132. 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 spectrum associated with the

license or offer it to the next highest

bidder (in descending order) at their

final bid. 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).

E. Refund of Remaining Upfront

Payment Balance

133. All applicants that submitted

upfront payments but were not winning

bidders for a license in Auction No. 40

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.

134. 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. If you have

completed the refund instructions

electronically, then only a written

request for the refund is necessary. If

not, the request must also include wire

transfer instructions and a Taxpayer

Identification Number (TIN). Send

refund request to: Federal

Communications Commission,

Financial Operations Center, Auctions

Accounting Group, Shirley Hanberry,

445 12th Street, SW., Room 1–A824,

Washington, DC 20554.

135. Bidders are encouraged to file

their refund information electronically

using the refund information portion of

the FCC Form 175, but bidders can also

fax their information to the Auctions

Accounting Group at (202) 418–2843.

Once the information has been

approved, a refund will be sent to the

party identified in the refund

information. NOTE: Refund processing

generally takes up to two weeks to

complete. Bidders with questions about

refunds should contact Tim Dates or

Gail Glasser at (202) 418–1995.
