materials described below, all the information required is included in its short-form application.
85. A party may not submit more than one short-form application for Auction 901. If a party
submits multiple short-form applications, only one application may be accepted for filing.
86. Each applicant also should note that submission of a short-form application (and any
amendments thereto) constitutes a representation by the certifying official that he or she is an authorized
representative of the applicant, that he or she has read the form's instructions and certifications, and that
the contents of the application, its certifications, and any attachments are true and correct. An applicant is
not permitted to make major modifications to its application; such impermissible changes include a
change of the certifying official to the application.146 Submission of a false certification to the
Commission may result in penalties, including monetary forfeitures, the forfeiture of universal service
support, license forfeitures, ineligibility to participate in future auctions, and/or criminal prosecution.
B. SAC Identification
87. An applicant will not be required to select the specific census blocks on which it wishes
to bid when submitting its short-form application. Based on the SAC(s) or Tribal land(s) information
entered by an applicant, the FCC Auction System will identify eligible tracts and blocks in the associated
state(s) or Tribal land(s) for each applicant during the application process.

but has not reached an agreement by the short-form application filing deadline, it should not include the
names of parties to the discussions on its application and may not continue such discussions with any
applicants after the deadline.'49

short-form application that it and all applicable parties have complied with and will continue to comply
with section 1.21002 of the Comnnission's rules.150 While section 1.21002 does not prohibit non-auction-
