1. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) announces the cancellation of the auction of nine site-based licenses in the 400 MHz general aviation Air-Ground Radiotelephone Service which had been scheduled to begin on August 23, 2006.

2. On March 3, 2006, the Bureau released Auction No. 67 Comment Public Notice, 71 FR 12698, March 13, 2006, announcing the schedule for Auction No. 67 and seeking comment on reserve process or minimum opening bids amount and the procedures to be used in the auction. Participation in Auction No. 67 was to be limited to certain identified parties that had previously filed mutually exclusive applications for the nine 400 MHz Air-Ground licenses. That public notice advised each applicant of the requirement to provide supplemental information by 6 p.m. ET on April 5, 2006, and warned that failure to do so by the deadline would result in dismissal of its application and ineligibility to participate in the auction.

3. The Bureau received no supplemental information regarding any of the nine applicants for Auction No. 67. Accordingly, each of the previously filed FCC Form 601 applications will be dismissed, thus eliminating the need to conduct Auction No. 67.
