Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0600
Title: Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act, 
Competitive Bidding, Second Report and Order and Second Memorandum 
Opinion and Order--PP Docket No. 93-253.
Form Nos.: FCC Forms 175, 175-S
Expiration Date: 05/31/97
Estimated Annual Burden: 100,925 total hours; .25-20 hours per 
response; 13,400 respondents.
Description: In the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order in PP Docket 
No. 93-253, the Commission modified and supplemented several of its 
generic rules governing the auctioning of all licenses subject to 
competitive bidding. For example, the Commission will permit applicants 
to participate in auctions where the applicant certifies that a request 
for a waiver or declaratory ruling concerning the requirements of 
Section 310 is pending. The Commission modified its collusion rules to 
permit bidders who have not filed Form 175 applications for any of the 
same licenses to engage in discussions and enter into bidding consortia 
or joint bidding arrangements during the course of the auction. The 
Commission established detailed standard affiliation rules for 
determining all size-based eligibility requirements. The affiliation 
requirements are intended to prevent entities that do not meet the size 
standards from receiving benefits targeted to smaller entities. To 
ensure that only legitimate designated entities are the beneficiaries 
of special provisions, the Commission imposed stricter eligibility 
requirements on these entities. The Commission requires that designated 
entities to substantiate their eligibility by describing how they 
satisfy the requirements for eligibility.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
