See Notice of Office of Management and Budget Action regarding OMB Control No. 3060- 0798 from John F. Morrall III, Acting Deputy Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, dated September 8, 2006; see also Implementation of the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act and Modernization of the Commission’s Competitive Bidding Rules and Procedures, WT Docket No. 05- 211, Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 21 FCC Rcd 4753 (2006) (“ Designated Entity Second Report and Order”), modified by erratum, 21 FCC Rcd 6622 (2006), clarified by Order on Reconsideration, 21 FCC Rcd 6703 (2006). 4 D- 6 rules should be identified as specified in the instructions to the FCC Form 601.

Do not add password protection to attached files. Provide exhibit attachments in ULS as applicable. Any exhibits to be attached to an application as a result of our rule requirements should be identified as follows: Title Exhibit A: Ownership Exhibit B: Foreign Ownership Exhibit C: Designated Entities Exhibit D: Agreements & Other Instruments Exhibit E: Confidentiality Requests Exhibit F: Waiver Requests Exhibit G: Miscellaneous Information Exhibit X: Tribal Government Certification 5 Exhibit Y: Tribal Lands Waiver Requests 6 Exhibit Z: Application Certification 7 As specified in the instructions to the FCC Form 601, each page of each exhibit must be identified with the number or letter of the exhibit, the number of the page of the exhibit, and the total number of pages of the exhibit. EXHIBIT A: OWNERSHIP INFORMATION Section 1.2112 of the Commission’s rules requires that each applicant for a license shall disclose fully the real party- or parties- in- interest. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2112. This requirement may be fulfilled by providing an attachment referencing the file number, date, and name of filer of the appropriate FCC Form 602 application. For information regarding the filing of the FCC Form 602, see Section V of this attachment. To provide this information, applicants should upload the file, select Attachment Type “Ownership,” and enter “Exhibit A: Ownership” in the Description field on the Attachments page. Although ownership information can be provided by referencing the FCC Form 602, applicants should confirm that their FCC Form 602 accurately reflects all information discussed below and as required under Section 1.2112 of the Commission’s rules. 5 Applicants applying for markets where they are seeking a tribal lands bidding credit must attach all tribal government certifications, applicant certifications, and waiver exhibits, as applicable, within 180 days of filing their long- form application. See discussion in Section IV. Applicants do not need to include these attachments in applications in which tribal lands bidding credits are not being sought. See Extending Wireless Telecommunications Services to Tribal Lands, WT Docket No. 99- 266, Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 18 FCC Rcd 4775, 4778- 79 ¶ 10 (2003) (“ Tribal Lands Second Report and Order”). 6 See id. 7 See id. 6 D- 10 or small businesses in the consortium shall not be aggregated. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( b)( 3)( i), but see 1.2110( b)( 3)( iii). Controlling Interests and Affiliates. All controlling interests and affiliates, as defined by the Commission’s rules, must be included in the gross revenue calculations discussed above. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( c)( 2), (c)( 5). Minority- Owned and Women- Owned Business and Rural Telephone Companies. The Commission is interested in the status of applicants as minority- owned and women- owned businesses and rural telephone companies for statistical purposes, even if the applicant is ineligible for bidding credits. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( c)( 3), (4). This information is collected in ULS and does not need to be included in an attachment. EXHIBIT D: AGREEMENTS & OTHER INSTRUMENTS Bidding Agreements. Applicants must provide a detailed explanation of the terms and conditions and parties involved in any bidding consortia, joint ventures, partnerships or other agreements or arrangements entered into relating to the competitive bidding process prior to the time the bidding was completed. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2107( d). Note: A list of the agreements disclosed on the FCC Form 175 will be pre- filled on the Form 601, but should be updated if necessary. Any other additional information should be provided by uploading a file, selecting Attachment Type “Other” and entering “Exhibit D: Agreements & Other Instruments” in the Description field on the Attachments page. Other Agreements. To comply with the requirements of Sections 1.2110( j) and 1.2112( b)( 2)( iii)-( iv) of the Commission’s rules, all agreements must be listed on the FCC Form 601 and applicants must provide a summary of these agreements. 13 Applicants must upload the information in a file, select Attachment Type “Other” and enter “Exhibit D: Agreements & Other Instruments” in the Description field on the Attachments page. Copies of agreements required by Sections 1.2110( j) and 1.2112( b)( 2)( iii)-( iv) of the Commission’s rules must be included in Exhibit D. 14 Applicants with a significant number of reportable agreements or significantly lengthy agreements can elect to submit a separate Exhibit D attachment for the list and summary of agreements and for each agreement itself. For those applicants with significant upload requirements, submitting separate agreements would ease the electronic filing process on ULS. For example, an applicant can submit one attachment for the list and summary of agreements and upload it with the caption “Exhibit D: List and Summary of Agreements” and then submit an attachment for each agreement, e. g., “Exhibit D: LLC Agreement”, “Exhibit D: Lease Agreement”. Applicants may elect to seek confidentiality for the agreements pursuant to section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 C. F. R. § 0.459; see also discussion of confidentiality requests under “Confidentiality Requests” below. EXHIBIT E: CONFIDENTIALITY REQUESTS Applicants should be aware that all information required by the Commission’s rules is necessary to determine the applicants’ qualifications to be a Commission licensee and, as such, will be available for public inspection. Required proprietary information may be redacted, and confidentiality may be sought pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 C. F. R. § 0.459. Applicants requesting confidential treatment for any information required as a condition to participate in the auction must follow 13 Id. 14 Id. 10 D- 11 the procedures set out in Section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Because the required information bears on an applicant’s qualifications, the Commission envisions that confidentiality requests will not be granted routinely. If an applicant has sought confidential treatment of any information, it must attach a statement explaining the request and referencing the particular information for which confidential treatment has been requested. To provide this information, applicants should upload this statement as a file, select Attachment Type “Confidentiality” and enter “Exhibit E: Confidentiality Requests” in the Description field on the Attachments page. Note: Applicants must select Attachment Type “Confidentiality” for the particular exhibit for which they are requesting confidential treatment. Otherwise, the attachment will be available for public inspection. EXHIBIT F: WAIVER REQUESTS Note: This part does not apply to tribal lands waiver requests. For tribal lands waiver requests, see Section IV, “Exhibit Y: Tribal Lands Waiver Requests.” In the event an applicant wishes to file a request for waiver of a Commission rule, see 47 C. F. R. § 1.925, the request should be filed with the corresponding application. Applicants should upload this waiver request as a file, select Attachment Type “Waiver” and enter “Exhibit F: Waiver Requests” in the Description field on the Attachments page. Waiver requests filed after the submission of the FCC Form 601 may result in a delay of the processing of the application. If a request for waiver is filed separately from the FCC Form 601, such request must refer to the corresponding application, including its file number. EXHIBIT G: MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION In the event that a winning bidder wishes to provide any additional information that does not fall within any of the other exhibits, these documents or files should be submitted by selecting Attachment Type “Other” and entering “Exhibit G: Miscellaneous Information” in the Description field on the Attachments page. IV. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS SEEKING TRIBAL LANDS BIDDING CREDITS Filing the Long- Form Application. Applicants interested in receiving a tribal lands bidding credit must apply to do so when initially filing the long- form application in ULS (see Section II, “Filing FCC Form 601 Electronically”). 1. Select “Yes” on the Tribal Lands Bidding Credits page. 2. On the Seek Tribal Lands Bidding Credits page, indicate each channel block within each market for which credit is sought by selecting the appropriate box. See 47 C. F. R. §§ 1.2107( e), 1.2110( f)( 3). All winning bidders, including those winning bidders that apply for a tribal lands bidding credit, must pay the full amount of the Final Balance Due shown in Attachment B by the 6: 00 p. m. ET October 19, 2006, deadline (or no later than 6: 00 p. m. ET on November 2, 2006, along with the five percent late fee required 11 D- 12 by Section 1. 2109( a) of the Commission’s rules). 15 If an applicant’s request for a tribal lands bidding credit is approved, the Commission will deduct the amount of the tribal lands bidding credit from the eligible applicant’s auction payments on deposit (including the final payment), and that amount will later be refunded to the payer of record as identified on FCC Form 159. For a list of the tribal lands in each Cellular Market Area (CMA), Economic Area (EA), and Regional Economic Area Grouping (REAG), go to the Auction Website at http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ auctions and click on “Tribal Land Credits,” then click on “Cross References.” Additional information regarding Tribal Lands Bidding Credits is available at the above referenced website. For additional information on the tribal lands bidding credit, applicants should review the Commission’s rulemaking proceeding regarding tribal lands bidding credits and related public notices. 16 Applicants indicating that they intend to serve a qualifying tribal land in any market( s) within the application will have an additional 180 days after the long- form application deadline within which to secure the necessary certifications from tribal authorities. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( ii). Within this 180- day period, applicants must amend their long- form application to (1) provide the requisite tribal government certifications and (2) provide the applicant certification that it will, among other things, comply with the construction requirements set forth in 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( vi). An applicant may provide the certifications when initially filing the long- form application or, after the filing window, an applicant may re- enter ULS and update the long- form application to provide the certifications. (See the instructions, “Updating the Tribal Lands Information through Electronic Filing” below.) Applicants seeking a tribal lands bidding credit for some, but not all, markets in which they were the winning bidder are encouraged to submit two applications. One application will include markets in which the applicant intends to apply for a tribal lands bidding credit. The other application will include those markets in which the applicant is not seeking a tribal lands bidding credit. Any applicant that intends to apply for tribal lands bidding credits must do so by the filing deadline for the long- form applications (i. e., by October 4, 2006). Applicants will not be permitted to amend their applications after the filing deadline to indicate that they intend to seek a tribal lands bidding credit for a market. However, it is possible for applicants to update an application to indicate that they no longer intend to seek tribal lands bidding credits in a particular market. Applicants that elect to seek the tribal lands bidding credit when they initially submit the long- form application, but then subsequently decide not to seek the credit, should update their applications to delete the request for the tribal lands bidding credit. 15 47 C. F. R. § 1.2109( a). 16 See In the Matter of Extending Wireless Telecommunications Services to Tribal Lands, WT Docket No. 99- 266, Third Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 17652 (2004) (“ Tribal Lands Third Report and Order”); Extending Wireless Telecommunications Services to Tribal Lands, WT Docket No. 99- 266, Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 18 FCC Rcd 4775 (2003) (“ Tribal Lands Second Report and Order”); Extending Wireless Telecommunications Services to Tribal Lands, WT Docket No. 99- 266, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 15 FCC Rcd 11794 (2000); Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces Enhancements to the Universal Licensing System to Help Winning Bidders of FCC Auctions File for Tribal Land Bidding Credits, Public Notice, 16 FCC Rcd 5355 (2001); Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Releases Additional Information Regarding the Procedures for Obtaining a Tribal Lands Bidding Credit and List of Tribal Lands, Public Notice, 15 FCC Rcd 24838 (2000) (“ Tribal Lands Public Notice”); Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces Availability of Bidding Credits For Providing Wireless Services To Qualifying Tribal Lands: Tribal Land Bidding Credits To Be Available Beginning In Auction No. 36 (800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) Lower 80 Channels) And In Future Auctions,” Public Notice, 15 FCC Rcd 18351 (2000). 12 D- 13 Updating the Tribal Lands Information through Electronic Filing. To update a long- form application during the filing window (before it has been submitted to the FCC), see “Updating an Application” in Section II above. To update a Form 601 application for tribal lands certification after it has been officially received by the Commission (within the 180- day period), the applicant must re- enter ULS. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( ii). 1. Access ULS through the Internet at http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ uls. Select the Online Filing button from this page. 2.

To add a new federally- recognized tribal land to this market, select Add. 7. The Tribal Lands Bidding Credit Summary page will display the calculated credit and any additional credit requested for each channel block. Click Continue. 8. If you are requesting a tribal lands bidding credit in more than one market, repeat steps 6 and 7 above for each market. 9. Proceed through the remainder of the application pages using the Continue button at the bottom of each page to the Certification page. Certify your application and select Submit Application. You will receive a confirmation page. Note the file number for your records. You may use the link at the top left of the page to logout. ULS will calculate the bidding credit amount for each market automatically, according to the size (in square kilometers) of the tribal territory within the market, and in compliance with the bidding credit limit. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( iii), (iv). 17 If multiple spectrum blocks are won in the same market, 17 Note that the bidding credit formula and limits were recently revised. See, generally, Tribal Lands Third Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 17652 (2004). 13 D- 14 the winning bid amounts for the spectrum blocks serving tribal lands will be aggregated and the bidding credit limit will be applied against the aggregated amount. 18 If the applicant is seeking a bidding credit in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 1.2110( f)( 3), the applicant must submit a waiver request, pursuant to Section 1.925 of the Commission’s Rules. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.925. Each waiver request will be evaluated on a case- by- case basis. See “Exhibit Y: Tribal Lands Waiver Requests.” EXHIBIT X: TRIBAL GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATION Within the 180- day period following the long- form filing deadline, the applicant must amend its long-form application to provide the required tribal government certifications for each tribal land identified in the application. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( ii)( A). The tribal government certifications must be signed by an officer, allotment owner( s), or corporate officer of the tribal land, Indian allotment, or Alaska Native land, respectively, and uploaded as an Adobe PDF file. Each tribal government certification should be attached separately by selecting Attachment Type “Tribal Government Certification” and entering “Exhibit X: Tribal Government Certification” in the Description Field on the Attachments page. In addition, the Description Field should indicate the market and tribal lands to which the certification pertains (e. g., “Exhibit X: Tribal Government Certification (AW- REA 003- F Great Lakes, Standing Rock Reservation)”). A tribal government certification must state that: 1. The tribal area to be served by the winning bidder is a federally- recognized Indian tribe’s reservation, Pueblo, Colony, Alaska Native region, or Indian allotment, and has a wireline telephone penetration rate at or below eighty-five (85) percent; 19 2. The tribal government has not and will not enter into an exclusive contract with the applicant precluding entry by other carriers, and will not unreasonably discriminate among wireless carriers seeking to provide service on the qualifying tribal land; and 3. The tribal government will permit the applicant to site facilities and provide service on its tribal land. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2110( f)( 3)( ii)( A)( 1)-( 3). EXHIBIT Y: TRIBAL LANDS WAIVER REQUESTS Request for an additional bidding credit: If the applicant is seeking a credit in excess of the amount calculated according to Section 1.2110( f)( 3), the applicant must submit a waiver request, pursuant to Section 1.925 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 C. F. R. § 1.925. These waiver requests are subject to the percentage cap on tribal lands bidding credits, and waivers will not be granted in excess of the applicable 18 See Tribal Lands Public Notice, 15 FCC Rcd at 24839. 19 See Tribal Lands Third Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 17652 (2004) (raising the wireline penetration rate from 70% to 85% or less). 14 D- 15 cap. This waiver request must demonstrate that the infrastructure costs exceed the amount of the standard bidding credit as calculated by ULS. The applicant will need to supply a detailed showing of the projected infrastructure costs, including a certification by an independent auditor that the estimated costs are reasonable. Each tribal land waiver request should be attached separately by selecting Attachment Type “Tribal Lands Waiver Requests” and entering “Exhibit Y: Tribal Lands Waiver Requests” in the Description Field on the Attachments page. In addition, the Description Field should indicate the market and tribal lands to which the waiver request pertains (e. g., Exhibit Y: Tribal Lands Waiver Requests (“ AW- REA 003- F Great Lakes, Standing Rock Reservation”)). EXHIBIT Z: APPLICANT CERTIFICATION An applicant seeking a tribal lands bidding credit must attach a certification stating that it will comply with the buildout requirements set forth in Section 1.2110( f)( 3)( vi) of the Commission’s rules and that it will consult with the tribal government regarding the siting of facilities and deployment of service on the tribal land.
