§ 1.2115   Public notice of incentive auction related procedures.

   The provisions of this subpart may be used to conduct an incentive
   auction pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 309(j)(8)(G), including either or both a
   reverse auction to determine the incentive payment a licensee would be
   willing to accept in exchange for relinquishing spectrum usage rights
   and a forward auction to assign flexible use licenses for any spectrum
   made available as the result of such relinquishments. The Commission
   shall provide public notice of any procedures necessary for the
   implementation of an incentive auction that are not otherwise provided
   for pursuant to the rules of this Subpart. The Commission may do so in
   one or more such public notices. The Commission's procedures may
   include, without limitation:

   (a) Spectrum usage rights relinquishment procedures. The procedures
   pursuant to which a licensee may make an unconditional, irrevocable
   offer to relinquish spectrum usage rights in exchange for an incentive
   payment, including any terms the offer must include and procedures
   pursuant to which the Commission may accept such an offer.

   (b) Information required from a licensee. (1) The procedures for a
   licensee to provide any identifying information and or certifications
   that the Commission may require from any licensee that seeks to
   relinquish spectrum usage rights in the incentive auction.

   (2) The procedures for a licensee that is relinquishing spectrum usage
   rights to provide any financial information that the Commission may
   require to facilitate the disbursement of any incentive payment.
