Needs and Uses: The Fourth Report and Order, in WT Docket No. 97- 82, 47 CFR 1.2105(a)(2)(xi), 24.709(a)(5), requires each applicant for C Block Broadband PCS Spectrum to attach to its short-form application a statement indicating (under penalty of perjury) whether or not the applicant has ever been in default on any FCC licensees or has ever been delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any Federal agency. This information allows the FCC to determine the amount of the upfront payment to be paid by each applicant and will help ensure that C Block Auctions are conducted fairly and efficiently, thereby speeding the flow of payments to the U.S. Treasury and accelerating the provision of PCS Spectrum to the public.
