Needs and Uses: On July 31, 2009, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(’’Commission’’) released a Report and 

Order titled, ‘‘In the Matter of 

Amendment of Parts 2 and 25 of the 

Commission’s Rules to Allocate 

Spectrum and Adopt Service Rules and 

Procedures to Govern the Use of 

Vehicle–Mounted Earth Stations in 

Certain Frequency Bands Allocated to 

the Fixed–Satellite Service,’’ IB Docket 

No. 07–101, FCC 09–64 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘VMES Report and 

Order’’). 

The VMES Report and Order adopts 

Part 2 allocation rules and Part 25 

technical and licensing rules for a new 

domestic Ku–band VMES service. 

VMES service has the potential to 

deliver advanced mobile applications 

through satellite technology, including 

broadband, which will be beneficial for 

public safety and commercial purposes. 

The PRA information collection 

requirements contained in the VMES 

Report and Order are as follows: 

1. 47 CFR 25.226(b)(1)(i) OR 47 CFR 

25.226(b)(1)(ii) 

(i) Any VMES applicant filing an 

application pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) 

of this section shall file three tables 

showing the off–axis EIRP level of the 

proposed earth station antenna in the 

direction of the plane of the GSO; the 

co–polarized EIRP in the elevation 

plane, that is, the plane perpendicular 

to the plane of the GSO; and cross– 

polarized EIRP. Each table shall provide 

the EIRP level at increments of 0.1° for 

angles between 0° and 10° off–axis, and 

at increments of 5° for angles between 

10° and 180° off–axis. 

OR 

2. (ii) A VMES applicant shall include 

a certification, in Schedule B, that the 

VMES antenna conforms to the gain 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 19, 2009 / Notices 41903 

pattern criteria of § 25.209(a) and (b), 

that, combined with the maximum 

input power density calculated from the 

EIRP density less the antenna gain, 

which is entered in Schedule B, 

demonstrates that the off–axis EIRP 

spectral density envelope set forth in 

paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through 

(a)(1)(i)(C) of this section will be met 

under the assumption that the antenna 

is pointed at the target satellite. 

3. 47 CFR 25.226(b)(1)(iii) 

(iii) A VMES applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter under 

paragraph (a)(1)(ii)(A) of this section 

shall provide a certification from the 

equipment manufacturer stating that the 

antenna tracking system will maintain a 

pointing error of less than or equal to 

0.2° between the orbital location of the 

target satellite and the axis of the main 

lobe of the VMES antenna and that the 

antenna tracking system is capable of 

ceasing emissions within 100 

milliseconds if the angle between the 

orbital location of the target satellite and 

the axis of the main lobe of the VMES 

antenna exceeds 0.5°. 

4. 47 CFR 25.226(b)(1)(iv)(A), (B) 

A VMES applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter under 

paragraph (a)(1)(ii)(B) of this section 

shall: 

(A) declare, in its application, a 

maximum antenna pointing error and 

demonstrate that the maximum antenna 

pointing error can be achieved without 

exceeding the off–axis EIRP spectral– 

density limits in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of 

this section; and (B) demonstrate that 

the VMES transmitter can detect if the 

transmitter exceeds the declared 

maximum antenna pointing error and 

can cease transmission within 100 

milliseconds if the angle between the 

orbital location of the target satellite and 

the axis of the main lobe of the VMES 

antenna exceeds the declared maximum 

antenna pointing error, and will not 

resume transmissions until the angle 

between the orbital location of the target 

satellite and the axis of the main lobe of 

the VMES antenna is less than or equal 

to the declared maximum antenna 

pointing error. 

5. 47 CFR 25.226(b)(2)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) 

A VMES applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter under 

paragraph (a)(2) of this section and 

using off–axis EIRP spectral–densities in 

excess of the levels in paragraph (a)(1)(i) 

of this section shall provide the 

following certifications and 

demonstration as exhibits to its earth 

station application: 

(i) A statement from the target satellite 

operator certifying that the proposed 

operation of the VMES has the potential 

to create harmful interference to satellite 

networks adjacent to the target 

satellite(s) that may be unacceptable. 

(ii) A statement from the target 

satellite operator certifying that the 

power–density levels that the VMES 

applicant provided to the target satellite 

operator are consistent with the existing 

coordination agreements between its 

satellite(s) and the adjacent satellite 

systems within 6° of orbital separation 

from its satellite(s). 

(iii) A statement from the target 

satellite operator certifying that it will 

include the power–density levels of the 

VMES applicant in all future 

coordination agreements. 

(iv) A demonstration from the VMES 

operator that the VMES system is 

capable of detecting and automatically 

ceasing emissions within 100 

milliseconds when the transmitter 

exceeds the off–axis EIRP spectral– 

densities supplied to the target satellite 

operator. 

6. 47 CFR 25.226(b)(3) 

A VMES applicant proposing to 

implement a VMES system under 

paragraph (a)(3) of this section and 

using variable power–density control of 

individual simultaneously transmitting 

co–frequency VMES earth stations in 

the same satellite receiving beam shall 

provide the following certifications and 

demonstration as exhibits to its earth 

station application: 

(i) The applicant shall make a detailed 

showing of the measures it intends to 

employ to maintain the effective

simultaneously transmitting co– 

frequency terminals operating with the 

same satellite transponder at least 1 dB 

below the EIRP–density limits defined 

in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)–(C) of this 

section. In this context the term 

‘‘effective’’ means that the resultant co– 

polarized and cross–polarized EIRP– 

density experienced by any GSO or 

non–GSO satellite shall not exceed that 

produced by a single VMES transmitter 

operating at 1 dB below the limits 

defined in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)–(C) of 

this section. The International Bureau 

will place this showing on Public Notice 

along with the application. 

(ii) An applicant proposing to 

implement a VMES under (a)(3)(ii) of 

this section that uses off–axis EIRP 

spectral–densities in excess of the levels 

in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section 

shall provide the following 

certifications, demonstration and list of 

satellites as exhibits to its earth station 

application: 

(A) A detailed showing of the 

measures the applicant intends to 

employ to maintain the effective 

aggregate EIRP–density from all 

simultaneously transmitting co– 

frequency terminals operating with the 

same satellite transponder at the EIRP– 

density limits supplied to the target 

satellite operator. The International 

Bureau will place this showing on 

Public Notice along with the 

application. 

(B) A statement from the target 

satellite operator certifying that the 

proposed operation of the VMES has the 

potential to create harmful interference 

to satellite networks adjacent to the 

target satellite(s) that may be 

unacceptable. 

(C) A statement from the target 

satellite operator certifying that the 

aggregate power density levels that the 

VMES applicant provided to the target

satellite systems within 6° of orbital 

separation from its satellite(s). 

(D) A statement from the target 

satellite operator certifying that it will 

include the aggregate power–density 

levels of the VMES applicant in all 

future coordination agreements. 

(E) A demonstration from the VMES 

operator that the VMES system is 

capable of detecting and automatically 

ceasing emissions within 100 

milliseconds when an individual 

transmitter exceeds the off–axis EIRP 

spectral–densities supplied to the target 

satellite operator and that the overall 

system is capable of shutting off an 

individual transmitter or the entire 

system if the aggregate off–axis EIRP 

spectral–densities exceed those 

supplied to the target satellite operator. 

(F) An identification of the specific 

satellite or satellites with which the 

VMES system will operate. 

(iii) The applicant shall acknowledge 

that it will maintain sufficient statistical 

and technical information on the 

individual terminals and overall system 

operation to file a detailed report, one 

year after license issuance, describing 

the effective aggregate EIRP–density 

levels resulting from the operation of 

the VMES system. 

7. 47 CFR 25.226(a)(5), (b)(6) 

Applicant shall include in application 

point of contact with authority and 

ability to cease all emissions from 

VMES terminals. 

8. 47 CFR 25.226 (a)(6), (b)(7) 

VMES licensee shall provide data 

(record of vehicle location, transmit 

frequency, channel bandwidth and 

satellite used for each relevant VMES 

transmitter) to Commission, NTIA, FSS 

operator, FS operator, or frequency 

coordinator within 24 hours upon 

request. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
41904 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 19, 2009 / Notices 

collection are necessary to prevent 

regulatory uncertainty with respect to 

VMES and other satellite services that 

operate in the Ku–band within the 

United States. Prior to this rulemaking, 

the lack of rules for VMES posed an 

administrative burden on those entities 

attempting to provide VMES–type 

services and on Commission staff 

because such services could be granted 

only through the use of waivers and 

Special Temporary Authority (STA) 

authorizations for a six–month period of 

time. The approval of fifteen–year 

licenses for VMES operators 

significantly reduces the burden 

imposed upon both licensees and 

Commission staff who review and 

approve the waivers and STAs. 

Furthermore, without such information 

the Commission would not be able to 

take the necessary measures to prevent 

harmful interference to satellite services 

from VMES. Finally, the Commission 

would not be able to advance its goals 

of managing spectrum efficiently and 

promoting broadband technologies to 

benefit American consumers throughout 

the United States.
