§ 95.1916 Competitive bidding proceedings.
(a) Competitive bidding. Mutually exclusive initial applications for
218-219 MHz Service licenses are subject to competitive bidding. The
general competitive bidding procedures set forth in part 1, subpart Q
of this chapter will apply unless otherwise provided in this part.
(b) Installment payments. Eligible Licensees that elect resumption

Eligible Licensees are those that were current in installment payments
(i.e., less than ninety days delinquent) as of March 16, 1998, or those
that had properly filed grace period requests under the former

quarterly basis. Installment payments will be calculated based on new
principal amount as of Election Day and will fully amortize over the

for five-year U.S. Treasury obligations at the grant date.

business, as defined in this subsection, or a consortium of small
businesses may use the bidding credit specified in § 1.2110(f)(2)(ii) of
this chapter. A winning bidder that qualifies as a very small business,
as defined in this section, or a consortium of very small businesses

(e) Auction No. 2 winning bidders. Winning bidders in Auction No. 2,
which took place on July 28-29, 1994, that, at the time of auction, met
the qualifications under the Commission's rules then in effect, for
