    From June 2000 to August 2004, the Commission adopted various 
rulemakings in which a winning bidder seeking a bidding credit to serve 
a qualifying tribal land within a particular market must:
     Indicate on the long-form application (FCC Form 601) that 
it intends to serve a qualifying tribal land within that market;
     Within 180 days after the filing deadline for the long-
form application, amend its long-form application to identify the 
tribal land it intends to serve and attach a certification from the 
tribal government stating that:

[[Page 8716]]

    (a) The tribal government authorizes the winning bidder to site 
facilities and provide service on its tribal land;
    (b) The tribal area to be served by the winning bidder constitutes 
qualifying tribal land;
    (c) The tribal government has not and will not enter into an 
exclusive contract with the applicant precluding entry by other 
carriers, and will not unreasonably discriminate among wireless 
carriers seeking to provide service on the qualifying tribal land; and
    (d) Provide certification of the telephone penetration rates 
demonstrating that the tribal land has a penetration level at or below 
85 percent.
    The rulemakings also require what each winning bidder must do.
    In addition, it also requires that a winning bidder seeking a 
credit in excess of the amount calculated under the Commission's 
bidding credit must submit certain information; and a final winning 
bidder receiving a higher credit must provide within 15 days of the 
third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, file a 
certification that the credit amount was spent on infrastructure to 
provide wireless coverage to qualifying tribal lands, which also 
includes a final report prepared by an independent auditor verifying 
that the infrastructure costs are reasonable to comply with our build-
out requirements.
