It appears that NatTel experienced internal operating problems which it was not able to overcome through the establishment of adequate bidding procedures. We also note that the administrative assistants NatTel' principals relied on to make bidding decisions appear not to have been listed as persons authorized to make or withdraw bids on NatTel's shortform application (FCC Form 175). The list of authorized bidders includes the two principals mentioned in NatTel's request, Mr. Jack E. Robinson and Mr. Daniel E. Carpenter, and Mr. James M. Craig. Under the Commission's auction procedures, only those persons listed on an  X 4applicant's shortform application are authorized to make or withdraw bids.o Z X {O'#X\  P6G; IP#э See Public Notice, "FCC Issues New Procedures, Terms and Conditions for Broadband PCS C block Auction" (rel. Oct. 6, 1995) at 45 ("Only those individuals listed on the FCC Form 175 will be authorized to place or withdraw bids for the applicant during the course of the auction").o Notwithstanding the fact that NatTel, as detailed in its Request, did not follow such procedures, it is a fundamental precept of the law of agency that a principal is responsible for the acts of an  Xy4agent performed within the scope of employment.!yz {O'#X\  P6G; IP#э See also Wadeco, Inc. v. FCC, 628 F.2d 122 (D.C. Cir. 1980); ElevenTen Broadcasting Corp., 32 FCC  {On'706 (1962); recon. denied 33 FCC 92 (1962); affirmed sub. nom.

FCC, 337 F.2d 540 (1964); and Continental  {O'Broadcasting, Inc., 15 FCC 2d 120 (1968). As a result, we are not persuaded that the events described by NatTel warrant a waiver of the bid withdrawal payment requirements. In fact, we are concerned that to grant NatTel's Request would encourage future bidders to hide behind the alleged mistakes of their staff to avoid responsibility for their bids. Such a result would not be in the public interest.  X4 11. We also disagree with NatTel's argument that the maximum bid withdrawal payment it should be assessed for License B114 is the difference between its withdrawn bid and the amount of the bid listed while the Commission became the "placeholder" on the license. NatTel's argument is premised on a mischaracterization of the Commission as a high bidder on a license after an auction participant withdraws a bid. While the Commission assumes a "placeholder" role on a license after a bid is withdrawn, the Commission never becomes a bidder on that license, for it could never "win" a license. Therefore, our decision to reduce the minimum accepted bid cannot be analogized to a bid withdrawal. The Commission chose to reduce the minimum accepted bid on License B114 in Round 86 of the auction because the auction appeared to be winding down. At that point, the auction was in" 4 !0*((" its third and final stage, the number of new bids had declined to approximately 40 per round, and the amount of bidder eligibility had declined dramatically. Thus, the opportunities for other bidders to obtain the license during the auction were quickly diminishing. Had the Commission not chosen to reduce the minimum accepted bid, NatTel would remain subject to a bid withdrawal payment of the difference between its withdrawn bid and the price the license would ultimately sell for. NatTel assumed the risk that it would be subject to a substantial bid withdrawal payment when it withdrew its bid.  XH4 12. In addition, we disagree with NatTel's contention that because it filed its Request on the day that down payments and bid withdrawal payments were due, it was not obligated to submit the additional sums due for its bid withdrawal payments. In this connection, NatTel seeks to bolster its presumption that the May 15, 1996 filing of its Request relieved it of its obligation to comply with the down payment and bid withdrawal payment deadline by pointing to Commission actions taken with respect to certain applicants in the 900 MHz Specialized Mobile Services (SMR) and the broadband PCS C block auction.  X4 13. We find that NatTel's status as of May 15, 1996 is distinguishable from that of other bidders with pending waiver requests at the close of the 900 MHz SMR and broadband PCS C block auctions. NatTel filed its Request nearly two months after it withdrew the bids at issue, nine days after the C block auction closed, and seven days after the release of the Public Notice identifying the winning bidders and the amounts owed at the down payment  X4deadline. By contrast, Atlanta Trunking Associates, Inc. (ATA) filed its request for waiver" yO'#X\  P6G; IP#э Atlanta Trunking Associates, Inc., "Request for Waiver" (December 18, 1996).# x6X@`7>fX@# three days after it submitted its erroneous bid and more than four months before the 900 MHz  X4SMR auction closed.

Because ATA and PCS 2000 filed their requests shortly after they submitted their allegedly erroneous bids, and because the Commission had not yet ruled on the requests prior to the close of the respective auctions, the Bureau exercised its discretion and did not require payment of the full bid withdrawal payment by the down  Xe4payment deadline.$\e {O'#X\  P6G; IP#э See Public Notice, "FCC Announces Winning Bidders in the Auction of 1,020 Licenses to Provide 900  {O 'MHz SMR in Major Trading Areas," DA 96586 (April 15, 1996) at 5; Public Notice, "Entrepreneurs' C Block  yO!'Auction Closes," DA 96716 (May 8, 1996) at fn. 2.# x6X@`7>fX@#ѩ NatTel, however, did not file its Request shortly after the withdrawal of the bids at issue. Rather, the bids which are the subject of NatTel's Request occurred nearly two months earlier. In fact, it filed its Request nine days after the close of the auction. Thus, the Commission was not afforded an opportunity to rule on the Request prior to the down payment and bid withdrawal payment deadline or to treat NatTel similarly to ATA and PCS 2000. Under these circumstances, we do not believe that any relief from the payment deadline should be granted. We are concerned that to extend the deadline for NatTel would" $0*((" encourage future bidders to submit lastminute waiver requests in lieu of payment obligations at the time these obligations become due. Accordingly, NatTel remains subject to the bid  X4withdrawal payment obligations for its withdrawn bids on Licenses B114 and B476.% zPK'#X\  P6G; IP#э# c PE37P# See Public Notice, "Entrepreneurs' C Block Auction Closes," DA 96716 (rel.

Given NatTel's decision to file a lastminute waiver of its bid withdrawal requirement, the appropriate response would have been to make the required payment and simultaneously file its Request. This course of action would have preserved NatTel's position as the "winning bidder" on License B492.
