AUCTION EVENT NO. 40
Report No. AUC-40 (Auction No. 40)
On December 5, 2001, the Federal Communications Commission completed the auction of 
15,514 licenses in the Lower and Upper Paging Band.1 After a preliminary review of the long-form 
applications (FCC Form 601) filed by Golden Arrow Paging, Inc. (“Golden Arrow Paging”), the 
applications were accepted for filing.2  
By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announces that it is prepared to 
grant the licenses listed in Attachment A of this Public Notice, upon the full and timely payment of the 
remaining balance of the applicant’s winning bids, to Golden Arrow Paging.  Such payment must be 
received by the Commission within ten (10) business days after the date of this Public Notice (i.e., by 
February 14, 2007).  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.2109(a).  If the winning bidder listed on Attachment A fails to 
pay the balance of its winning bids in a lump sum by February 14, 2007, it may pay the remaining 
balance within ten (10) business days after the payment deadline (i.e., by March 1, 2007), provided that it 
also pays a late fee equal to five percent of the amount due.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.2109(a).        
If the winning bidder listed in Attachment A fails to pay the balance of its winning bids by the 
late payment deadline of March 1, 2007, it would be in default and subject to applicable default 
payments.  See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2104(g), 1.2109(c).  The applicant would be assessed default penalties as 
prescribed by sections 1.2104(g) and 1.2109(c) of the Commission’s rules.  See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2104(g),

Wire transfer payments must be received by Mellon Bank no later than 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 
February 14, 2007 (or 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, March 1, 2007, along with the five percent late fee).  
The applicant should allow sufficient time for the wire transfer to be initiated and for the transmission to

Payments must be preceded by a completed FCC Remittance Advice Form (FCC Form 159).  The
applicant must fax, on the same business day that it pays the balance due to Mellon Bank, a completed 
FCC Form 159 to Mellon Bank at (412) 209-6045 at least one hour prior to placing the order for the wire

When completing FCC Form 159 (February 2000 Version), the applicant must type the auction 
number, “40,” in Block(s) 28A and 28B (“FCC Code 1”).  The applicant also must type the applicable 
license numbers in Blocks 29A and 29B (“FCC Code 2”) of FCC Form 159.  License numbers should be 
identified by typing “CP” (radio service code), followed by the market designator (BEA), followed by the 
market number (001-176), and the frequency block (blocks A, B and C).  An example of a correct license 
number would be “CPBEA002E01” or “CZBEA058B.”  The radio service code, market designator, 
market number, and frequency block designations are listed in Attachment A.  Form 159 provides 
sufficient boxes to list only two licenses. The applicant must then use FCC Form 159-C (“Continuation 
Sheet”) for the remainder of their licenses.
