("CHPCS").U( xP'ԍC.H. PCS, Inc., Petition For Reconsideration (filed December 7, 1998) ("Petition For Reconsideration") CHPCS seeks  Y>4reconsideration of the Bureau's Public Notice> ( zP'ԍSee "Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Dismisses C.H. PCS, Inc. Applications for Auction Event  zP'No. 5," Public Notice, 13 FCC Rcd 22,255 (1998). ("Dismissal Notice"), which dismissed longform applications for seven broadband Personal Communications Service ("PCS") C block licenses for which CHPCS was the winning bidder in the initial C block auction, Auction Event No. 5. For the reasons discussed below, we deny CHPCS's Petition for Reconsideration.  Y42. Background. CHPCS was the winning bidder for seven broadband PCS C block markets in Auction Event No. 5, which closed on May 6, 1996. CHPCS paid an initial down payment of $1,505,812.50 for the licenses but made no further payments. In addition, CHPCS was the high bidder for one broadband PCS C block license in Auction Event No. 10, which closed on July 16, 1996. CHPCS failed to make an initial down payment on this"Z|0*''KK"  Y4license and instead filed an emergency petition for waiver of the down payment deadline. xPy'ԍC.H. PCS, Inc., Emergency Petition for Waiver of Section 24.711(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules (filed July 24, 1996). At that time, Section 1.2109 of the Commission's rules stated that if a winning bidder failed to remit the required down payment within five business days after the Commission had declared competitive bidding closed, the bidder would be deemed in default, have its application dismissed, and be liable for the default payment specified in Section 1.2104(g)(2)  Y4of the Commission's rules."  xP^ 'ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.2109(b) (1995). Currently,  1.2109(b) allows a winning bidder ten business days after the Commission has declared competitive bidding closed to remit the required down payment. 47 C.F.R.  zP ' 1.2109(b).  See also 47 C.F.R.  1.2104 (g), which states that a bidder that defaults on a payment due will be subject to default payments. 3. On August 9, 1996, the Bureau denied CHPCS's waiver request and dismissed its  YH4longform application for the one C block license, license B347H  zP'ԍIn re C.H. PCS, Inc., Request for Waiver of Section 24.711(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules, Order,  zP'11 FCC Rcd 9343 (WTB 1996) ("August 9, 1996 Order")., won in Auction Event No. 10. On November 4, 1996, the Bureau assessed an initial default payment with respect to  Y 4CHPCS's default on that license. f  zP1'ԍSee C.H. PCS, Inc., BTA No. 347, Frequency Block C, Order, 11 FCC Rcd. 22430 (Wireless  zP'Telecom. Bureau 1996) ("November 4, 1996 Order"). Because the full default payment could not be determined until the license was won at a subsequent auction, the Bureau assessed CHPCS an initial payment of three percent of its defaulted bid amount, or $6,414,232.50, toward the full default payment. CHPCS's upfront payment of $1,383,000.00 was applied to this initial default amount, leaving an amount owed of $5,031,232.50. The Bureau required payment within 30 days of release of the order and noted that if CHPCS failed to pay, this amount would be deducted from any funds on deposit with the Commission, including funds  Yy4submitted as down payment on the seven licenses from Auction Event No. 5.@y  zP'ԍId.@ 4. The Bureau subsequently notified CHPCS in a letter dated February 4, 1997, that it had applied CHPCS's initial down payment of $1,505,812.50 for the seven licenses won in  Y4Auction Event No. 5 to the $5,031,232.50 still owed for license B347T  xP""'ԍLetter from Michele C. Farquhar, Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, to Kenneth Hobbs, C.H. PCS, DA 97260 (February 4, 1997). won in Auction Event No. 10. This left a remaining default obligation for license B347 of $3,525,420.00, in addition to an outstanding down payment obligation of $1,505,812.50 for the seven licenses"0*&&KK)" from Auction Event No. 5. The Bureau informed CHPCS in the letter of February 4, 1997 that it was required to pay the amount of $5,031,232.50, which represented both outstanding obligations, within five business days. Because CHPCS failed to pay its outstanding down payment obligation for the seven licenses won in Auction Event No. 5, the Bureau dismissed  Y4the applications by Public Noticel  zP'ԍSee Dismissal Notice, 13 FCC Rcd 22,255 (1998).l and assessed an initial default payment with respect to  Y4those licenses. Z zP'ԍSee C.H. PCS, Inc. BTA Nos. B124, B144, B222, B322, B362, B420, and B486, Frequency Block C,  zPb 'Order, DA 99226 (rel. January 22, 1999) ("1999 Payment Order"). CHPCS was also informed that it may have additional default payment obligations following reauction of the defaulted licenses. On December 7, 1998, CHPCS  Y_4filed a Petition For Reconsideration of the Bureau's Dismissal Notice.  YJ4#Xx P7oXP#  Y345. Discussion. CHPCS argues that the dismissal of its seven longform applications is procedurally defective because the Bureau based its decision on facts misstated in the  Y 4Dismissal Notice. Specifically, CHPCS claims that the Bureau erroneously stated that 1) the longform applications of CHPCS had not been accepted for filing, and 2) CHPCS failed to submit timely down payments for the seven C block licenses it won in Auction Event No. 5. We disagree with CHPCS's contentions, which misstate the reasons for dismissal of its seven longform applications. The Bureau's error in characterizing the status of applications does not invalidate their dismissal. CHPCS's applications were dismissed because CHPCS failed to make timely down payments, regardless of whether the applications were accepted for  Yf4filing.a f zP'ԍSee Dismissal Notice, 13 FCC 22,255 (1998)a Furthermore, even if the Bureau accepted the applications for filing, the Bureau is  YO4not prevented from subsequently dismissing the applications.T OH zPH'ԍSee 47 C.F.R.  1.2109(c).T For example, an application may be dismissed where an applicant is unqualified to be a licensee, fails to remit the balance of its winning bid in a timely manner, or defaults or is disqualified for any reason  Y 4after having made the required down payment.@  zP'ԍId.@ Specifically, the Commission's Rules provide that the failure to make a timely down payment will result in dismissal of the  Y4application.Tl  zP 'ԍSee 47 C.F.R.  1.2109(b).T 6. CHPCS's argument that it initially submitted its down payments in a timely  Y4manner also is misplaced. The Dismissal Notice, in reiterating the factual basis for the Bureau's earlier actions, noted the receipt of CHPCS's first down payment with respect to" 0*&&KKz" the seven licenses, but repeated the Bureau's earlier conclusion that because those funds were applied toward the default payment assessed for license B347, CHPCS had been required to replenish the down payment funds to avoid dismissal of its applications. Thus, in the  Y4Dismissal Notice, the Bureau took the purely administrative step of formally dismissing the seven CHPCS longform applications for failure to meet the down payment obligation.   7. Moreover, we conclude that CHPCS's down payment arguments relate to earlier rulings which have long since become final. The Commission's rules allow any party desiring reconsideration of final action taken by the Bureau to file a petition for reconsideration or application for review within 30 days from the date of the public notice of  Y 4such action.S  zP 'ԍSee 47 C.F.R.  1.104(b).S The Commission's records show that no petitions for reconsideration or  Y 4applications for review were filed by CHPCS in response to the August 9, 1996 Order (denying waiver of the down payment for license B347 and dismissing the application for that  Y 4license) or the November 4, 1996 Order (assessing an initial default payment with respect to CHPCS's default on that license). Additionally, the Bureau received no response to its February 4, 1997 letter informing CHPCS that its funds on deposit with the Commission had been applied to its outstanding default payment obligation on license B347, leaving insufficient funds on deposit as first down payments for the remaining seven licenses.  8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Reconsideration filed December 7, 1998, by CHPCS IS DENIED. ` `  hhCFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `   ` `  hhCKathleen O'Brien Ham ` `  hhCDeputy Chief ` `  hhCWireless Telecommunications Bureau "kZ0*&&KK"  Y4 XX` `  hhCXq(#
