The FCC has released a Public Notice seeking comment on proposed bidding procedures for the AWS-3 spectrum reauction, designated as Auction 113. Specifically, the FCC proposes to use a clock-1 format in which entities would be able to bid for specific licenses in the clock bidding rounds, in license-by-license bidding. The AWS-3 spectrum refers to the following spectrum bands: 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz.
The Commission had initially auctioned this spectrum in Auction 97, but certain winning bidders affiliated with DISH later decided to turn in certain licenses due to a bidding credit issue. A list of available licenses can be found here. Comments on the Public Notice are due on April 10, 2025, and reply comments are due by April 25, 2025.
