Summary of Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking 

In the Report and Order released 

simultaneously with this Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, IB Docket No. 

12–376, the Commission adopts 

footnotes to the Table of Allocations 

indicating that ESAA is an application 

of the FSS and may be authorized to 

communicate with GSO space stations 

of the FSS on a primary basis in the 

11.7–12.2 GHz band (space-to-Earth), on 

an unprotected basis in 10.95–11.2 GHz 

and 11.45–11.7 GHz (space-to-Earth), 

and on a secondary basis in the 14.0– 

14.5 GHz band (Earth-to-space). A 

number of parties argue, however, that 

regulatory parity between ESV, VMES 

and ESAA suggests that ESAA as an 

application of the FSS should also be 

authorized on a primary basis in the 

14.0–14.5 GHz uplink band. The 

Commission believes that the technical 

rules adopted in the Report and Order 

would support such a regulatory 

change. Accordingly, the Commission 

tentatively concurs with this 

recommendation and seeks comment on 

the proposal to elevate ESAA as an 

application of the FSS to primary status 

in the 14.0–14.5 GHz band (Earth-tospace) band. Specifically, we propose to 

revise non-Federal government (NG) 

footnote 55 to include a primary 

allocation for ESAA in the 14.0–14.5 

GHz (Earth-to-space) band. The 

proposed footnote reads as follows: 

NG55 In the bands 11.7–12.2 GHz (spaceto-Earth) and 14–14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space), 

Earth Stations on Vessels (ESV), VehicleMounted Earth Stations (VMES), and Earth 

Stations Aboard Aircraft (ESAA) as regulated 

under 47 CFR part 25 are applications of the 

fixed-satellite service and may be authorized 

to communicate with geostationary satellites 

in the fixed-satellite service on a primary 

basis. 

This proposed footnote would grant 

primary status to ESAA in the 14.0–14.5 

GHz band, and as a ministerial matter, 

would consolidate the text from 

footnotes NG54, NG183, and NG187, 

which the Commission proposes to 

eliminate. The Commission requests 

comment on these proposals, including 

on all costs and benefits. Further, the 

Commission also seeks comment on 

whether changing ESAA operations in 

the uplink band from secondary status
