difficulties in making payments by wire transfer. Each applicant also is responsible for obtaining confirmation from its financial institution that its wire transfer to the U.S. Treasury was successful and from Commission staff that its upfront payment was timely received and that it was deposited into the proper account.

Each applicant must take care to assure that any questions directed to its financial institutions are addressed promptly. To receive confirmation from Commission staff, contact Scott Radcliffe of the Office of Managing Directors Revenue & Receivables Operations Group/Auctions at 202
