Abstract: This collection will be used to ensure that auction winners comply with Commission rules. In case a licensee defaults or loses its license, the Commission retains the discretion to re-auction those licenses. If the licenses are re-auctioned, the new license winners would be required at the close of the re-auction to submit certain information, disclose terms of any joint bidding agreements, and maintain the information. The information verifying construction requirements will be used by the Commission to determine whether the licensee has met the 900 MHz MTA construction requirements.
