Sec. 22.205  Competitive bidding mechanisms.

    (a) Sequencing. The FCC will establish and may vary the sequence in 
which paging geographic area authorizations are auctioned.
    (b) Grouping. The FCC will determine which licenses will be 
auctioned simultaneously or in combination based on interdependency and 
administrative circumstances.
    (c) Minimum Bid Increments. The FCC may, by public announcement 
before or during an auction, require minimum bid increments in dollar or 
percentage terms.
    (d) Stopping Rules. The FCC may establish stopping rules before or 
during an auction in order to terminate the auction within a reasonable 
time.
    (e) Activity Rules. The FCC may establish activity rules which 
require a minimum amount of bidding activity. In the event that the FCC 
establishes an activity rule in connection with a simultaneous multiple 
round auction, each bidder may request waivers of such rule during the 
auction. The FCC may, by public announcement either before or during an 
auction, specify or vary the number of waivers available to each bidder.
