22  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part deals with the procedures to be undertaken before conducting the auction or allocating spectrum licences for a pre-determined price.
      The ACMA must make decisions in relation to the allocation process, including setting deadlines by which persons wishing to participate in the allocation process must give the ACMA completed forms and information.  The ACMA must also advertise the auction and prepare an applicant information package.
      Persons wishing to participate in the allocation process must complete forms, deeds and declarations, and give them to the ACMA by the relevant deadlines.  Some of the forms and declarations will contain information about the associates of the person.  The ACMA will use this information to work out whether any applicants are affiliated with each other, or with the holder of a spectrum licence, for the purpose of the 1800 MHz allocation limits.  If there are such affiliations, this may have consequences for the applicant's ability to participate in the allocation process in relation to the 1800 MHz lots.
      This Part also requires those applicants who are able to participate in the allocation process to pay a deposit, or provide a deed of financial security, in relation to the lots on which those applicants wish to bid.
