FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[DA 99–2844]

Process for Providing Service Under

Global International section 214

Authorizations Using Approved NonU.S.-Licensed Satellite Systems Listed

on the Permitted Space Station List

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This document announces a

change in the International Bureau’s

interpretation of its Exclusion List in

light of the Commission’s decision in

the DISCO II Recon. proceeding. This

action will reduce the regulatory burden

on carriers seeking to provide

international services using certain nonU.S.-licensed satellite systems by

permitting the use of pre-approved

satellites under global international

section 214 authorizations without the

need to obtain separate authority for

such non-U.S.-licensed satellites.

DATES: Effective December 22, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa

Choi, Policy and Facilities Branch,

Telecommunications Division,

International Bureau, (202) 418–1460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. The International Bureau

announces its interpretation of its

Exclusion List for International section

214 Authorizations (Exclusion List) to

conform to a recent Commission order

streamlining rules relating to the use of

non-U.S. licensed satellite systems. See

Amendment of the Commission’s

Regulatory Policies to Allow Non-U.S.

Licensed Space Stations to Provide

Domestic and International Satellite

Service in the United States, IB Docket

No. 96–111, FCC 99–325 (64 FR 61791,

November 15, 1999).

2. The Commission developed the

Exclusion List as a procedural

mechanism to identify restrictions on

providing common carrier service. The

Exclusion List identifies those countries

or facilities that are not included within

the scope of a global section 214

authorization (61 FR 15724, April 9,

1996). When a carrier seeks to use

facilities or serve a country that is on

the Exclusion List, the carrier must file

a separate section 214 application

pursuant to § 63.18(e)(4) of the

Commission’s rules.

3. Currently, the Exclusion List

prohibits carriers from using all nonU.S.-licensed satellite systems without

obtaining a separate section 214

authorization (64 FR 19057, April 19,

1999). The Commission, however,

recently changed its rules regarding the

use of non-U.S.-licensed satellite

systems in the DISCO II Recon.

proceeding. In the DISCO II Recon.

proceeding, the Commission simplified

the process by which authorized nonU.S.-licensed fixed satellites may serve

the U.S. market. In particular, U.S. earth

station operators with ALSAT licenses

will be permitted to access a non-U.S.-

licensed satellite to provide fixedsatellite service in the conventional Cor Ku-bands without further regulatory

approval, once that non-U.S.-licensed

satellite has been authorized to serve the

United States. Originally, earth station

operators with ALSAT licenses were

permitted to access any U.S.-licensed

satellite. In the DISCO II Recon.

proceeding, these licensees’ authority

was expanded to include non-U.S.-

licensed satellites on the Permitted

Space Station List. Pursuant to the

DISCO II Recon. proceeding, the

International Bureau will keep a list of

such authorized non-U.S.-licensed

satellite systems to be referred to as the

Permitted Space Station List

(www.fcc.gov/ib/srd/se/

permitted.html).

4. In light of the DISCO II Recon.

proceeding, it is not necessary to require

holders of global section 214

authorizations to file for and obtain a

separate section 214 authorization for

non-U.S.-licensed satellite systems that

have been authorized to provide fixedsatellite service in the United States and

placed on the Permitted Space Station

List. Prior to placing a space station on

the Permitted Space Station List, the

Commission will conduct a proceeding

that will provide parties notice and an

opportunity to comment on any

potential Title III or section 214 issues

raised by permitting operators with

ALSAT licenses to access the non-U.S.-

licensed satellite.

5. Accordingly, we interpret the

Exclusion List restriction for all nonU.S.-licensed satellite systems to refer

only to non-U.S.-licensed satellite

systems that are not listed on the

Permitted Space Station List. This

interpretation will avoid confusion,

reduce regulatory burden, and ensure

that the Exclusion List is consistent

with the Commission’s policies. This

interpretation of the Exclusion List

became effective December 22, 1999.

The announcement of the effective date

of the DISCO II Recon. proceeding is
