          New Promissory Note and Security Agreement Issued
                     for C Block Auction Winners
         Deadline for Return of Documents- December 2, 1996
                                  
     On September 17, 1996, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("Bureau")
conditionally granted certain broadband Personal Communications Services ("PCS") C block
licensees.  In a letter dated October 2, 1996, accompanying the installment payment plan note
and security agreement for the PCS C block licenses, licensees were informed that the note and
security agreement should be executed and returned to the Treasury Department within 30
days.  In a subsequent mailing, dated October 24, 1996, licensees were instructed that the note
and security agreement should be returned to the Treasury Department on or before November
20, 1996.  In a letter dated November 14, 1996, the licensees were provided with a revised
note and security agreement.  This letter extended the date for return of the executed note and
security agreement from November 20, 1996 to November 30, 1996.  We recognize that the
November 30, 1996 deadline falls on a Saturday.  Thus, those licensees should execute and
return the installment payment note and security agreement to the Treasury Department on or
before December 2, 1996 (the following Monday).  See 47 C.F.R.  1.4

     In addition, applicants should contact FCC staff immediately if they have not yet
received the revised note and security agreement, which were mailed on November 14, 1996. 
Questions regarding this matter should be directed to A. Jerome Fowlkes, Auctions Division,
(202) 418-0660, Zenji Nakazawa, Commercial Wireless Division, (202) 418-0620, or Linda
Friedman, Office of the Managing Director, (202) 418-1970.
