INTRODUCTION Đ\  "E 1. 1. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a) 1. 1. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)1. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) has before it a Petition for Waiver, filed  S' xon February 12, 1997, by Longstreet Communication International, Inc. (Longstreet).Є yO ' "p ԍPetition for Waiver filed by Longstreet Communication International, Inc., February 12, 1997 (Longstreet's 1997 Petition). Longstreet requests  xthat the Commission "waive" the requirement that it pay a late fee for failure to meet the deadline for  xsubmitting the balance of a down payment for a C block PCS license that Longstreet won at auction.  S' xDBecause Longstreet's petition was filed in response to the Longstreet Waiver Order, which granted in part  xLongstreet's request for a waiver of section 24.711(a)(2) of the Commission's rules, we will treat  S' xLongstreet's petition as a petition for reconsideration.e\ Є yOz' " ԍLongstreet Communications International, Inc. Request for Waiver of Section 24.711(a)(2) of the  {OB' x3 Commission's Rules Regarding Market No. B012, Order, 12 FCC Rcd. 1549 (1997) (Longstreet Waiver Order).  {O 'See 47 C.F.R.  1.106.e For the reasons discussed below, we deny Longstreet's petition.  S!'C II. BACKGROUND Đ\  "2. On February 4, 1997, the Bureau released an Order granting, in part, Longstreet's 1996  S' xPetition,SDЄ {Ol$'ԍSee Longstreet Waiver Order.S because it found that Longstreet presented sufficient facts to meet the standard for a partial  SU' x^waiver of the down payment rule.KUЄ {O&'ԍId. at 1551,  7.K The Bureau found that prior to the second down payment, Longstreet  x/made all previously required auction payments on time and in full. In addition, Longstreet paid the""h ,l(l(,,!"  xsecond down payment as soon as it realized its error and the Bureau found that there was no indication  xkin the record that the payment delinquency was part of a deliberate effort by Longstreet to delay payment.  xxFinally, the Bureau noted that upon receiving notice from the Commission that its account was delinquent,  Sg'Longstreet paid the balance due.:gЄ {O'ԍId.:  "3. While the Bureau concluded that the public interest would not be served by rigid enforcement  xof the second down payment deadline, which would have resulted in the cancellation of Longstreet's  xconditional license, it also concluded that Longstreet was not entitled to a complete waiver of the default  Sh' xcrules.VhZЄ {Ob 'ԍId. at 15511552,  89.V The Bureau stated that it is the applicant's responsibility to become aware of Public Notices  xreleased by the Commission, and failure to do so does not excuse Longstreet for making an untimely  S' xxpayment.KЄ {O 'ԍId. at 1552,  9.K Accordingly, the Bureau assessed Longstreet a late fee of five percent of the untimely payment  x3paid, which amounts to $5,546.25, and stated that the late fee serves to underscore the importance of  S 'making timely payment of all auction payments., ~Є {O' "c ԍId. See Amendment of Part 1 of the Commission's Rules Competitive Bidding Procedures, Third Report  {O'and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 13 FCC Rcd. 374, 429,  94 (1997).,   "4. In its petition, filed on February 12, 1997, Longstreet argues that the five percent late payment  S ' x@fee should be waived in its entirety.Q  Є yO}'ԍLongstreet's 1997 Petition at 2.Q Longstreet contends that because it was never personally served  S 'notice of the second down payment requirement, it should not be penalized for the late payment.@ j Є {O'ԍId. at 1.@  Sj'F III. DISCUSSION Đ\  "5. We disagree with Longstreet's argument that the Bureau was required to provide personal  xnotice of the second down payment deadline. Neither the Administrative Procedures Act nor the  xCommunications Act of 1934, as amended, require the Commission to provide applicants personal notice  xof procedural payment deadlines. Longstreet had adequate notice of the second down payment deadline  xbecause: (1) section 24.711(a)(2) of the Commission's rules states that the second down payment must  S' x&be made within five business days of the conditional grant;M  Є yO 'ԍ47 C.F.R.  24.711(a)(2).M (2) this requirement was explained in the  S' xBidder Information Package, which Longstreet received before the auction;Q  Є yO"'ԍLongstreet's 1997 Petition at 2.Q and (3) the Final Down  xPayment Public Notice, released on September 17, 1996, notified the public that the second down payment" ,l(l(,,e"  S' xwas due on September 24, 1996.> \Є {Oh'ԍPublic Notice, "FCC Announces Grant of Broadband Personal Communications Services Entrepreneurs' C Block BTA Licenses Final Down Payment Due by September 24, 1996," DA 961553 (September 17, 1996)  {O'(Final Down Payment Public Notice) at 2.> Because it is incumbent upon applicants to diligently prosecute their  xgapplications by ascertaining and complying with the applicable payment deadlines established by public  S'notice,Є {O&'ԍSee Macon County Broadcasting, Inc., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd. 8669 (1993). we reject Longstreet's argument that it did not receive proper notice.  "y6. Accordingly, pursuant to section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, IT IS  xEORDERED that the Petition for Waiver filed February 12, 1997, by Longstreet Communication International, Inc. IS DENIED.  "7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the license for market B012 (Altoona, Pennsylvania) will be removed from Auction No. 22.  ` ` ` `  hhCqFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `   ` `  hhCqJames D.
