FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
[Correction to Report No. AUC-95-06]


Auction Notice and Filing Requirements for 493 BTA Authorizations 
for Multipoint Distribution Service in the 2 GHz Band, Scheduled for 
November 13, 1995

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Public Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This Public Notice, released September 12, 1995, revised the 
Appendix attached to Report No. AUC-95-06 dated September 5, 1995. Both 
the September 5, 1995 and the September 12, 1995 Public Notices should 
be read together. These Public Notices are directed toward the 
Commission's goal of efficiently distributing the unused MDS spectrum 
through competitive bidding, and are designed to assist prospective 
bidders in preparing for the upcoming MDS auction.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The FCC auction contractor, Tradewinds International, Inc., at (202) 
637-FCC1 (637-3221).

    The complete text of the Public Notice dated September 12, 1995 
follows. Copies of this item are available for public inspection in 
Room 207, 2033 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. and may also be 
obtained from the FCC copy contractor, ITS, Inc. at (202) 418-0620, and 
the FCC auction contractor, Tradewinds International, Inc. at (202) 
637-FCC1 (637-3221).
    This Public Notice corrects the Appendix attached to Report No. 
AUC-95-06, dated September 5, 1995. The upfront payment amounts listed 
in the following table differ slightly from those in the September 5, 
1995 Appendix and supersede those previously published. The revised 
upfront payments have been rounded up to the next dollar. The revised 
small business payments are 75 percent of the total upfront payments 
due, rounded up to the next dollar. This rounding procedure is being 
implemented to ensure that the maximum initial eligibility for each 
bidder will be a whole number (a condition required by the Commissions' 
auction implementation software) and to ensure that, when the upfront 
payment of a small business bidder is adjusted (by multiplying it by 4/
3) to calculate the maximum initial eligibility, the small business 
bidder will have an appropriate number of ``activity'' or ``bidding'' 
units.
    The upfront payment schedule guarantees that if a small business 
bidder and a bidder that is not a small business each submit upfront 
payments for the same combination of markets, the maximum initial 
eligibility for the bidder that is not a small business will equal the 
sum of the upfront payments for those markets, whole the maximum 
initial eligibility for the small business bidder will be equal to or 
possibly slightly larger than the sum of the upfront payments for those 
markets. For example, a small business bidder submitting an upfront 
payment for all markets would have a maximum initial eligibility equal 
to 4,647,790 bidding units, while a bidder that is not a small business 
would have a maximum initial eligibility of 4,647,596 bidding units. 
Differences of this nature are a result of the rounding process 
employed.
    Small business bidders should monitor their eligibility carefully 
during the course of the auction, especially during stage transitions. 
When a bidder's activity level in a particular round is below its 
required bidding activity level for that round, even by one bidding 
unit, the bidding software will automatically charge a waiver to that 
bidder. Thus, small business bidders may be charged a waiver that they 
did not intend to exercise. To avoid this, small business bidders would 
need to use the automatic waiver override procedures. A discussion of 
the activity rule is contained in Report No. AUC-95-06, dated September 
5, 1995. For further information, contact Karen Wrege, Auctions 
Division, at (202) 418-0660.

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