61  Procedures if only one bidder
 (1) If there is only one bidder in the auction, the procedures to be applied for allocating lots of a product and assigning frequency ranges are as follows:
 (a) in the primary stage – there will be a pre-bidding phase, in which the bidder may enter start demands, and one clock round in which the bidder may make a bid for the lots of each product;
 (b) the assignment stage will be conducted as soon as possible after the primary stage to enable the bidder to indicate the frequency ranges the bidder wishes to have assigned.
Note 1: In this situation, the assignment prices will be zero: see subclause 8(2) of Schedule 4.
Note 2: The assignment stage also deals with the allocation of the downshift metropolitan lot and the downshift regional lot.
 (2) The ACMA must notify the bidder as soon as reasonably practicable after the later of the eligibility deadline or extended eligibility deadline (if there is one) that it is the only bidder, and that the procedures in this section apply.
