The rules require small business
applicants to submit ownership information and gross revenue
calculations and all applicants must submit joint bidding
agreement. In the cases of defaults, the FCC retains the discretion
to reauction such licenses. Finally, licensees transfering licenses
within 3 years are required to maintain a file of all documents and
contracts pertaining to the transfer. Certification is required for
entities dropping out of auction to secure certain ownership
interests in participants. Small business must disclose to the FCC
partitioning or disaggregating to avoid unjust enrichment.
