Competitive Bidding Procedures

On February 20, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission adopted an Order amending and clarifying its general competitive rules. The Order also clarifies the extent of authority delegated to the Chief of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau to implement regulations pertaining to competitive bidding. In addition, the Order modifies the short-form application (FCC Form 175) to include a certification indicating that an applicant is not in default on any payment for Commission licenses or delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any federal agency. The rule changes set forth in the Order are intended to streamline the auctions process, and improve competitive bidding practices.
