Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 222 / Monday, November 19, 2007 / Notices 65023 

should be lower than it is with respect 

to the A, B, and E Blocks, where the 

structure of the auction actually may 

provide an incentive for bidders to 

default. Accordingly, for the D Block 

license the Bureau sets the additional 

default payment percentage at ten 

percent of the defaulted bid or of the 

subsequent winning bid, whichever is 

less. While the Bureau remains mindful 

that a default could harm the public 

interest by delaying the deployment of 

service to the public safety community 

as well as to consumers, the Bureau 

concludes that the ten percent 

additional payment used in several 

recent auctions serves as a sufficient 

deterrent to defaults for the D Block. 

6. In the 700 MHz Second Report and 

Order, the Commission delegated to the 

Chiefs of the Public Safety and 

Homeland Security Bureau and the 

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 

(Bureaus) the authority to take certain 

actions jointly in the public interest in 

the event of a dispute between the 

winning bidder for the D Block license 

and the Public Safety Broadband 

Licensee at the end of the six-month 

negotiation period for the Network 

Sharing Agreement (NSA), or on their 

own motion at any time. In particular, 

the Commission indicated that these 

actions may include but are not limited 

to one or more of the following: (1) 

Granting additional time for negotiation; 

(2) issuing a decision on the disputed 

issues and requiring the submission of 

a draft agreement consistent with that 

decision; (3) directing the parties to 

further brief the remaining issues in full 

for immediate Commission decision; 

and/or (4) immediate denial of the longform application filed by the winning 

bidder for the D Block license. 

7. The Bureaus believe that it is in the 

public interest to provide potential 

bidders for the D Block license, as well 

as the public safety community, with 

further guidance as to how the Bureaus 

intend to exercise their delegated 

authority in the event that disputes arise 

with respect to the negotiation of the 

terms of the NSA. As a result, the 

Bureaus announce that they will not 

exercise their authority for immediate 

denial of the long-form application filed 

by the winning bidder for the D Block 

license, as a result of any dispute over 

the negotiation of the terms of the NSA, 

until the Bureaus take one of two steps: 

(1) Issuing a decision on the disputed 

issues and requiring the submission of 

a draft agreement consistent with their 

decision; or (2) referring the issues to 

the Commission for an immediate 

decision and the Commission issues 

such a decision.
