The FCC’s Wireless
Telecommunications and Media Bureaus have announced a new commencement date
and pre-auction deadlines for the auction of 144 new, vacant non-reserved FM allotments,
including 37 construction permits that were offered but not sold in
Auction 79. Designated as Auction 91, the auction is now
scheduled to commence on April 27, 2011. The Bureaus have removed three
construction permits from the original list of construction permits scheduled
for auction (Channel 250C1 at Tuba City, Arizona; Channel 285A at
Union Gap, Washington; and Channel 254C2 at Ennis, Montana). An
updated list of the vacant allotments for which construction permits will be
auctioned, including the upfront payments and minimum opening bids associated
with each construction permit, is available here. Auction 91 will employ
simultaneous multiple round bidding. The auction will be conducted over
the Internet using the FCC Auction System, but telephonic bidding will be
available as well. Those wishing to participate in Auction 91 must
submit electronically a short-form application on FCC Form 175.
The FCC Form 175 filing window opens at 12:00 noon Eastern Time
(“ET”) on January 31, 2011 and closes at 6:00 p.m. ET on February
10, 2011. In addition, a sufficient upfront payment and FCC Remittance
Advice Form (FCC Form 159) must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. ET on
March 21, 2011. If
you would like more information about the short-form application, upfront
payment, bidding and other procedures and requirements applicable to
Auction 91, or are interested in participating in this auction, please
contact your primary attorney in our office. December 21,
