AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance)

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are made final for the

communities listed below. The base

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are the basis for the

floodplain management measures that

each community is required either to

adopt or to show evidence of being

already in effect in order to qualify or

remain qualified for participation in the

National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP).

EFFECTIVE DATES: The date of issuance of

the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)

showing base flood elevations and

modified base flood elevations for each

community. This date may be obtained

by contacting the office where the maps

are available for inspection as indicated

on the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final base flood

elevations for each community are

available for inspection at the office of

the Chief Executive Officer of each

community. The respective addresses

are listed in the table below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA or Agency) makes final

determinations listed below of base

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations for each community

listed. The proposed base flood

elevations and proposed modified base

flood elevations were published in

newspapers of local circulation and an

opportunity for the community or

individuals to appeal the proposed

determinations to or through the

community was provided for a period of

ninety (90) days. The proposed base

flood elevations and proposed modified

base flood elevations were also

published in the Federal Register.

This final rule is issued in accordance

with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104,

and 44 CFR part 67.

floodplain management in floodprone

areas in accordance with 44 CFR part

Interested lessees and owners of real

property are encouraged to review the

proof Flood Insurance Study and Flood

Insurance Rate Map available at the

address cited below for each

community.

The base flood elevations and

modified base flood elevations are made

final in the communities listed below.

Elevations at selected locations in each

community are shown.

the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,

Environmental Consideration. No

environmental impact assessment has

been prepared.

maintain community eligibility in the

NFIP. No regulatory flexibility analysis

[ET Docket No. 98–206; FCC 00–418]

Fixed Satellite Service and Terrestrial

System in the Ku-Band

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document permits nongeostationary satellite orbit (‘‘NGSO’’)

fixed-satellite service (‘‘FSS’’) providers

to operate in certain segments of the Kuband, and adopts rules and policies to

govern such operations. NGSO FSS can

provide a variety of new services to the

public, such as high speed Internet

access, plus other types of high speed

data, video and telephony services.

NGSO FSS can bring advanced services

to rural areas. This document also

concludes that a new terrestrial fixed

Multichannel Video Distribution and

Data Service can share the 12.2–12.7

GHz band with satellite operations

without causing harmful interference.

DATES: Effective March 19, 2001.

Summary of the Report and Order

1. The First Report and Order (‘‘First

R&O’’), permits non-geostationary

satellite orbit (‘‘NGSO’’) fixed-satellite

service (‘‘FSS’’) providers to operate in

certain segments of the Ku-band, and

adopt rules and policies to govern such

operations. It also adopts technical

criteria so that NGSO FSS operations

can share spectrum with incumbent

services without causing unacceptable

interference to them and without

unduly constraining future growth of

incumbent services or NGSO FSS

system flexibility. Finally, the

Commission concludes that a new

terrestrial fixed Multichannel Video

Distribution and Data Service

(‘‘MVDDS’’) can operate in the 12.2–

12.7 GHz band on a non-harmful

interference basis with incumbent

Broadcast Satellite Services (‘‘BSS’’),

and on a co-primary basis with the

NGSO FSS. By these actions, we

provide for the introduction of new

advanced services to the public,

consistent with our obligations under

Section 706 of the 1996

Telecommunications Act, and promote

increased competition among satellite

and terrestrial services.

NGSO FSS Gateway Bands

2. We find that we can permit

deployment of NGSO FSS gateway earth

stations and also protect the continued

use and growth by terrestrial operations

in the proposed bands. To accomplish

this, we are limiting gateway use of the

12.75–13.25 GHz band to the 12.75–

13.15 GHz and 13.2125–13.25 GHz band

segments. Further, we are permitting

gateway use of the 13.75–13.8 GHz

band. Finally, we will permit service

link, as well as gateway, use of the 14.4–

14.5 GHz band. We recognize, however,

that deployment of service links in the

10.7–11.7 GHz, 12.75–13.15 GHz,

13.2125–13.25 GHz, and 13.75–14.0

GHz bands could hinder future

terrestrial service deployment in those

bands. Therefore, to avoid the

ubiquitous deployment of earth stations,

we find it appropriate to allow only

gateway earth station operations for

NGSO FSS in those four bands. Further,

because gateway earth stations will be

located at sites readily identified to

other users of the bands, this action

increases the potential for co-frequency

operation. We define NGSO FSS

gateway earth stations as those earth

stations that do not originate or

terminate traffic, but interconnect

multiple non-collocated user earth

stations operating in frequency bands

other than designated gateway bands,

through a satellite with other primary

networks, such as the public switched

telephone network and Internet

networks. That is, gateway earth stations

will be required to operate in a manner

that supports the switching and routing

functions of the NGSO FSS system as a

whole, as do feeder links for mobilesatellite systems or hub operations for

very small aperture terminal (‘‘VSAT’’)

networks.

3. Thus, we are adopting a functional

definition for earth station use of this

band, which should provide for various

NGSO FSS system designs, regardless of

what terminology is used by an

applicant to describe the facility.

Moreover, each NGSO gateway antenna

will be required to meet an antenna

performance standard of 29–25 log theta

(θ) dBi in all directions, where theta (θ)

is the earth station antenna off-axis

angle relative to the main lobe of the

antenna. We find that adopting this

antenna performance standard will

ensure that NGSO gateway antennas

focus their signals in the desired

direction without the need for minimum

antenna size requirements, which could

hinder innovation and flexibility.

Additionally, to facilitate coordination

with terrestrial facilities, we adopt our

proposal requiring a single gateway

complex to be located within an area of

one second latitude by one second

longitude. This requirement, which also

applies to GSO FSS earth station sitings,

facilitates earth station and terrestrial

coordination in shared bands by

specifying very limited areas for

gateway antennas. Gateway antennas
