Reconsideration titled, ‘‘In the Matter of 

the Procedures to Govern the Use of 

Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels 

in the 5925–6425 MHz/ 3700–4200 MHz 

Bands and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 

GHz Bands’’ (FCC 09–63, IB Docket No. 

02–10 (‘‘ESV Reconsideration Order’’). 

In the ESV Reconsideration Order, the 

Commission resolved various concerns 

raised regarding the operational 


CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 204 / Friday, October 23, 2009 / Notices 54819 

restrictions placed on ESVs that are 

designed to protect the fixed–satellite 

service (FSS), operating in the C–band 

and Ku–band, and the terrestrially– 

based fixed service (FS), operating in 

the C–band, from harmful interference. 

The Commission adopted rule changes 

that should provide ESV operators with 

greater operational flexibility while 

continuing to ensure that the other 

services in these bands are protected 

from harmful interference. 

The PRA information collection 

requirements contained in the ESV 

Reconsideration Order are as follows: 

1. Any ESV applicant that uses 

transmitters with off–axis EIRP densities 

lower than or equal to the off–axis EIRP 

limits must: (1) 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. In each 

table, the EIRP level must be provided 

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) a certification, in 

Schedule B, that the ESV antenna 

conforms to the gain 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 will 

be met under the assumption that the 

antenna is pointed at the target satellite. 

2. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter that will 

maintain a pointing error of less than or 

equal to 0.2° must 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 ESV 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 ESV antenna exceeds 0.5°. 

3. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter with an 

antenna pointing error of greater than 

0.2 degrees must: (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 ESV 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 ESV 

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 ESV antenna is less than or equal to 

the declared maximum antenna 

pointing error. 

4. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter that exceeds 

the off–axis EIRP spectral–density limits 

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 ESV 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 ESV 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 ESV 

applicant in all future coordination 

agreements; (iv) A demonstration from 

the ESV operator that the ESV 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; and (v) a certification from the 

ESV operator that the ESV system 

complies with the power limits in 

Section 25.204(h). 

5. The point of contact information 

referred to in paragraph (a)(3) and, if 

applicable, paragraph (a)(6), of Sections 

25.221 and 25.222, must be included in 

the application. 

6. Section 25.132(b)(3) requires 

applicants seeking authority to use an 

antenna that does not meet the 

standards set forth in §§ 25.209(a) and 

(b) of this part, pursuant to the 

procedure set forth in § 25.220, § 

25.221, § 25.222, or § 25.223(c) of this 

part, are required to submit a copy of 

the manufacturer’s range test plots of 

the antenna gain patterns specified in 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 

7. Section 25.221(a)(4) requires that 

for each ESV transmitter, a record of the 

ship location (i.e., latitude/longitude), 

transmit frequency, channel bandwidth 

and satellite used shall be time 

annotated and maintained for a period 

of not less than 1 year. Records will be 

recorded at time intervals no greater 

than every 20 minutes while the ESV is 

transmitting. The ESV operator will 

make this data available upon request to 

a coordinator, fixed system operator, 

fixed–satellite system operator, or the 

Commission within 24 hours of the 

request. 

8. Section 25.221(a)(5) requires that 

ESV operators communicating with 

vessels of foreign registry must maintain 

detailed information on each vessel’s 

country of registry and a point of 

contact for the relevant administration 

responsible for licensing ESVs. 

9. Section 25.221(a)(11) requires ESVs 

operating within 200 km from the 

baseline of the United States, or within 

200 km from a U.S.–licensed fixed 

service offshore installation, shall 

complete coordination with potentially 

affected U.S.–licensed fixed service 

operators prior to operation. The 

coordination method and the 

interference criteria objective shall be 

determined by the frequency 

coordinator. The details of the 

coordination shall be maintained and 

available at the frequency coordinator, 

and shall be filed with the Commission 

to be placed on Public Notice. Operation 

of each individual ESV may commence 

immediately after the Public Notice is 

released that identifies the notification 

sent to the Commission. Continuance of 

operation of that ESV for the duration of 

the coordination term shall be 

dependent upon successful completion 

of the normal public notice process. If, 

prior to the end of the 30–day comment 

period of the Public Notice, any 

objections are received from U.S.– 

licensed fixed service operators that 

have been excluded from coordination, 

the ESV licensee shall immediately 

cease operation of that particular station 

on frequencies used by the affected 

U.S.–licensed fixed service station until 

the coordination dispute is resolved and 

the ESV licensee informs the 

Commission of the resolution. 

10. Section 25.221(b)(3) states that 

there shall be an exhibit included with 

the application describing the 

geographic area(s) in which the ESVs 

will operate. 

11. Section 25.221(b)(5) requires ESVs 

that exceed the radiation guidelines of 

Section 1.1310 Radiofrequency 

radiation exposure limits must provide, 

with their environmental assessment, a 

plan for mitigation of radiation exposure 

to the extent required to meet those 

guidelines. 

12. Section 25.222(a)(4) states that for 

each ESV transmitter, a record of the 

ship location (i.e., latitude/longitude), 


CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
54820 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 204 / Friday, October 23, 2009 / Notices 

transmit frequency, channel bandwidth 

and satellite used shall be time 

annotated and maintained for a period 

of not less than 1 year. Records will be 

recorded at time intervals no greater 

than every 20 minutes while the ESV is 

transmitting. The ESV operator will 

make this data available upon request to 

a coordinator, fixed system operator, 

fixed–satellite system operator, NTIA, or 

the Commission within 24 hours of the 

request. 

13. Section 25.222(a)(5) requires ESV 

operators communicating with vessels 

of foreign registry must maintain 

detailed information on each vessel’s 

country of registry and a point of 

contact for the relevant administration 

responsible for licensing ESVs. 

14. Section 25.222(b)(3) states there 

shall be an exhibit included with the 

application describing the geographic 

area(s) in which the ESVs will operate. 

15. Section 25.222(b)(5) requires that 

ESVs that exceed the radiation 

guidelines of Section 1.1310 

Radiofrequency radiation exposure 

limits must provide, with their 

environmental assessment, a plan for 

mitigation of radiation exposure to the 

extent required to meet those 

guidelines. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 

collection are necessary to determine 

the technical and legal qualifications of 

applicants or licensees to operate a 

station, transfer or assign a license, and 

to determine whether the authorization 

is in the public interest, convenience 

and necessity. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to permit 

respondents to provide 

telecommunication services in the U.S. 

Therefore, the Commission would be 

unable to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities in accordance with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, and the obligations imposed 

on parties to the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom 

Agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Released 

October 16, 2009. 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) has renewed the charter of the 

North American Numbering Council 

(NANC or Council) through September 

25, 2011. The Council will continue to 

advise the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) on rapidly 

evolving and competitively significant 

numbering issues facing the 

telecommunications industry. 

In October 1995, the Commission 

established the NANC, a Federal 

advisory committee created pursuant to 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C., App. 2 (1988), to advise the 

Commission on issues related to North 

American Numbering Plan (NANP) 

administration in the United States. The 

original charter of the Council was 

effective on October 5, 1995, 

establishing an initial two-year term. 

Amended charters were filed on October 

5, 1997, October 5, 1999, October 5, 

2001, October 5, 2003, September 26, 

2005, and September 27, 2007, each 

renewing the term of the charter for an 

additional two years. 

Since the last charter renewal, the 

Council has provided the Commission 

with critically important 

recommendations regarding number 

administration, such as the 

recommendation regarding the 

assignment of geographic numbers from 

the NANP and a central database to 

support interoperability for Internetbased relay services. In addition, the 

Council reviewed and recommended 

technical requirements for a request for 

proposals associated with a new North 

American Numbering Plan 

Administrator (NANPA) contract. The 

Council also provided detailed 

evaluations of the current NANPA, the 

Pooling Administrator (PA) and the 

Billing and Collection (B&C) Agent. The 

Council will continue to evaluate the 

performances of the NANPA, the PA 

and the B&C Agent on an annual basis. 

Moreover, the Council is presently 

considering and formulating 

recommendations on other important 

numbering-related issues that will 

require work beyond the term of the 

present charter. 

The value of this Federal advisory 

committee to the telecommunications 

industry and to the American public 

cannot be overstated. Numbers are the 

means by which consumers gain access 

to, and reap the benefits of, the public 

switched telephone network. The 

Council’s recommendations to the 

Commission will facilitate fair and 

efficient number administration in the 

United States, and will ensure that 

numbering resources are available to all 

telecommunications service providers 

on a fair and equitable basis, consistent 

with the requirements of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996.
