See 47 U.S.C.  405. Public notice of the Commission's adoption of the general rules in question, 47 C.F.R.  95.816 (1994), commenced on May 13, 1994. (Mayfield does not specify which rules he challenges, but the broadest reading of his argument covers these general rules.) Thus, Mayfield's challenges should have been filed by June 13, 1994. Finally, Mayfield notes that the Commission, postauction, amended the rules concerning collusion and  X}-amendments to the short form. As we noted in the MO&O,J?} i X!-ԍ MO&O, 10 FCC Rcd at 12155.J however, all prospective bidders were subject to the same rules as those rules existed at the time of the auction. Moreover, bidders in any spectrum auction, proceeding under whatever version of rules exists at the time of the auction, should not bid beyond their actual financial capabilities when the time of bidding arrives. We deny Mayfield's petition.  W< D. Miscellaneous  X-x19. Interest Payments on Amount Owed. Interactive emphasizes that it originally sought only a 30day extension of the payment deadline, and was willing to pay interest on" ?0*(("  X-the amount owed.D@i Xy-ԍ Interactive at 3, 1618. D As we have discussed, however, Interactive has failed to demonstrate special circumstances warranting a deviation from the general rule requiring payment, and Interactive's offer to ameliorate the effects of its nonpayment does not affect this determination.  X-  x20. Conflict of Interest. Interactive argues that the Commission should follow a procedure whereby "autonomous" Commission staff, meaning staff independent of those with a role in conducting auctions, would determine initial waiver requests concerning auction  XJ-payment matters.mAJyi Xt -ԍ Id. at 2122; see also MO&O, 10 FCC Rcd at 12156.m Interactive states that the "prestige" resulting from auction revenues can create a conflict at the staff level. We do not perceive any conflict of interest requiring such a procedure. Often, staff familiar with a given area of substantive law are given responsibility for initially assessing filings, including waiver requests, in their area of expertise. We do not perceive the need to create separate procedures for such filings with respect to auctionable  X -services.   W <  X - x21. Other Procedural Requests. Louisiana has filed a "Petition for Reconsideration, Leave to File Supplemental Evidence and Motion to Sever," and a concurrent Request for  X}-Stay of the MO&O. The Request for Stay is now moot, except that Louisiana also requests that this present decision not be made effective until forty days following its release. Because Louisiana gives no reasons to support its request, and we see none, we deny the request. Concerning Louisiana's additional captioned requests, Louisiana requests, first, that it be permitted to file in this matter additional evidence, as it becomes available through the Commission's enforcement proceeding against Commercial Realty, of Commercial Realty's effect on Louisiana's financing. We deny this request. Louisiana is already best situated to know the facts in this context that are specific to its case, and additional information concerning other licensees or the industry in general will not buttress the record that Louisiana has already submitted on its behalf. Louisiana also requests that its petitions in this matter be  X-severed from those of Commercial Realty, to avoid ex parte difficulties. This is unnecessary. While we have addressed each petitioner's arguments in this matter in one document, the request of each petitioner is a separate matter. Granting Louisiana's severance request would  XV-not change the application of the ex parte rules to its request. We therefore deny this request.  X*- IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ă  x22.
