    1. The Incentive Auction Task Force (Task Force) revised the 
coverage area and population served of each television station to be 
protected in the repacking process, which was initially provided in

[[Page 72722]]

Appendix I of the Auction 1000 Application Procedures Public Notice, 80 
FR 66429, October 29, 2015. The revision corrected information for a 
small number of stations, and adjusts population data for stations that 
are affected by these corrections. The Task Force also updated the 
constraint files (http://data.fcc.gov/download/incentive-auctions/Constraint_Files/) that will be used in the repacking process to 
reflect these corrections and adjustments. The revised data will be 
used to determine feasible channel assignments for each station. These 
revisions serve the Commission's statutory mandate to ``make all 
reasonable efforts'' to preserve each station's coverage area and 
population served. The revised Appendix I listing is an attachment to 
the Auction 1001 Baseline Data PN and may be found on the Auction 1001 
Web page: http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/incentive-auctions/auction-1001.html.
    2. The Task Force also announced revised reverse auction opening 
bid prices in the Attachment to the Auction 1001 Baseline Data PN; 
these opening bid prices may be found on the Auction 1001 Web page: 
http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/incentive-auctions/auction-1001.html. 
The opening bid prices were recalculated to reflect the corrected 
baseline and constraint files. The opening bid prices were recalculated 
using the formula adopted by the Commission in the Auction 1000 Bidding 
Procedures PN, 80 FR 61918, October 14, 2015.
    3. In order to provide broadcasters with at least 60 days after the 
release of the recalculated prices to evaluate whether to apply to 
voluntarily participate in the reverse auction in light of such prices, 
the Task Force revised the filing window for FCC Form 177, the reverse 
auction application form. Specifically, the FCC Form 177 filing window 
will open at 12:00 noon Eastern Time on December 8, 2015, and close at 
6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 12, 2016. Applications must be filed 
prior to the closing of the filing window.
    4. Given the revised reverse auction filing window, the Task Force 
revised the filing window for FCC Form 175, the forward auction 
application form. Specifically, the FCC Form 175 filing window will 
open at 12:00 noon Eastern Time on January 26, 2016, and close at 6:00 
p.m. Eastern Time on February 9, 2016. Applications must be filed prior 
to the closing of the filing window.
