auction that will award up to $50 million in one-time Tribal Mobility 
Fund Phase I support, will be conducted on February 25, 2014. The 
Auction 902 Rescheduling Public Notice also revises the previously-
announced schedule of pre-auction deadlines for Auction 902.
    2. The Auction 902 short-form application filing window opened at 
12 noon ET on September 30, 2013, but was suspended on October 1, 2013, 
along with other Commission operations. Regular Commission operations 
were suspended from October 1 through October 16, 2013, due to a 
Government-wide lapse in funding. In the Auction 902 Rescheduling

potential bidders and Commission staff additional time for planning and 
preparation for Auction 902 following the now-concluded 16-day 
suspension of regular Commission operations.

(1) A revised auction tutorial incorporating the revised dates and 
deadlines will be available (via Internet) by November 18, 2013; (2) 
the short-form application (FCC Form 180) filing window will reopen on 
November 18, 2013, at 12:00 noon ET; (3) the short-form application 
(FCC Form 180) filing window will close on December 5, 2013, at 6:00 
p.m. ET; (4) a mock auction will be held on February 21, 2014; and (5) 
Auction 902 will be held on February 25, 2014. All other procedures, 
terms and requirements as set out in the Auction 902 Procedures Public 
Notice, 78 FR 56875, September 16, 2013, remain unchanged.
    4. The Bureaus note that any information previously saved in a 
short-form application, FCC Form 180, during the period that the filing 
window was open prior to the suspension of the window on October 1, 
2013, will be retained in the Commission's Auction system and will be 
accessible to the applicant when the short-form application filing 
window reopens.
