2006 Biennial Regulatory Review-Revision of the Commission's Rules (United States)
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission amends various provisions of the Commission's rules pertaining to licensing and operation of satellite service radio stations. With two exceptions, the amendments are non-substantive; that is, they neither impose new requirements nor eliminate or alter existing requirements. The two substantive amendments adopted in this Report and Order amend the rules in minor ways by eliminating requirements to identify a radio service and station location in correspondence and codifying an established practice of allowing applicants to cross-reference, rather than re-submit, previously filed information regarding non-U.S.-licensed satellites. Collectively, the changes adopted in this Report and Order will facilitate preparation of earth and space station applications, promote compliance with the Commission's operating rules, and ease administrative burdens for applicants, licensees, and the Commission.
9. SIA and Comtech raised concern that these proposed amendments might incorrectly give the impression that all earth stations on ships or airplanes must be licensed under parts 80 and 87. We have modified the text of the cross-references to parts 80 and 87 to avoid fostering this misunderstanding.
15. Section 25.276(c) states that “[t]ransmission to or from foreign points over space stations in the Fixed-Satellite Service, other than those operated by the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization and Inmarsat, are subject to the policies set forth in the Report and Order, adopted January 19, 1996 in IB Docket No. 95-41.” The cross-referenced Commission document is the “ DISCO I” order that eliminated the previous distinction between domestic satellites and international separate systems, permitting all U.S.-licensed satellites to provide both domestic and international services. In the NPRM, we proposed to amend this provision by deleting the phrase “other than those operated by the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization and Inmarsat” and replacing the cross-reference to DISCO I with a reference to “the requirements set forth in section 25.137 of this Chapter.” SIA recommends that we delete section 25.276(c) in its entirety, since DISCO I did not impose any requirements that are not prescribed elsewhere in part 25. We agree and delete section 25.276(c).
19. SIA also advocates amending section 25.210(f) by inserting a sentence stating that the full frequency reuse requirement does not apply to telemetry, tracking, and command transmissions at the edges of frequency bands assigned for FSS operation. We adopt this change. This is a clarifying, rather than a substantive amendment, as we have never construed the full frequency reuse rule to apply to telemetry, tracking, and command operations.
24. In this Report and Order, we have decided to amend the text of rule provisions pertaining to the licensing and/or operation of radio stations used for telecommunication via satellite. The amendments will make the rules in question more concise, more coherent, and/or more lucid without changing or eliminating existing regulatory requirements. We certify that these amendments will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Commission will send a copy of the Report and Order, including a copy of this certification, in a report to Congress pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. A copy of the Report and Order and this certification will also be sent to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration, and will be published in the Federal Register .
26. Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 7(a), 11, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 157(a), 161, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), that Part 25 of the Commission's rules is amended as set forth in the Appendix to this Order. The rule revisions in the Appendix will take effect 30 days after a summary of this Report and Order is published in the Federal Register , with the exception of the revisions to 47 CFR 25.110 and 25.137. These rule revisions contain modified information collection requirements that require approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the PRA. The Federal Communications Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing such approval and the relevant effective date.
Interprets or applies Sections 4, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 332, and 705 of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 332, and 705, unless otherwise noted.

) limits. (i) Provide a set of NGSO FSS earth station maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) masks as a function of the off-axis angle generated by an NGSO FSS earth station. The maximum EIRP mask shall be generated in accordance with the specification stipulated in the most recent version of ITU-R Recommendation S.1503.

(iii) If a computer program that has been approved by the ITU for determining compliance with the single-entry EPFD up validation limits is not yet available, the applicant shall provide a computer program for the single-entry EPFD up validation computation, including both the source code and the executable file. This computer program shall be developed in accordance with the specification stipulated in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R S.1503.

(b) Ninety days prior to the initiation of service to the public, the NGSO FSS system licensee shall submit a comprehensive technical showing for the non-geostationary satellite orbit Fixed-Satellite Service (NGSO FSS) system in the 10.7-14.5 GHz bands.

If the technical demonstration exceeds the additional operational EPFD down limits or the operational EPFD down limits at any test points within the United States for domestic service and at any test points outside of the United States for international service, the NGSO FSS system licensee shall not initiate service to the public until the deficiency has been rectified by reducing satellite transmission power or other adjustments. This must be substantiated by subsequent technical showings. The technical showings consist of the following:

(3) Sufficient information on the NGSO FSS system characteristics to properly model the system in computer sharing simulations, including, at a minimum, NGSO hand-over and satellite switching strategies, NGSO satellite antenna gain patterns, and NGSO earth station antenna gain patterns. In particular, each NGSO FSS applicant must explain the switching protocols it uses to avoid transmitting while passing through the geostationary satellite orbit arc, or provide an explanation as to how the PFD limits in § 25.208 are met without using geostationary satellite orbit arc avoidance. In addition, each NGSO FSS applicant must provide the orbital parameters contained in Section A.4 of Annex 2A to Appendix 4 of the ITU Radio Regulations (2008).

The equivalent power flux density, in dB(W/m 2 ) in the reference bandwidth, is calculated using the following formula:
ER06FE13.043
a is the number of transmit stations in the non-geostationary satellite orbit system that are visible from the GSO receive station considered on the Earth's surface or in the geostationary satellite orbit, as appropriate;

θ i is the off-axis angle between the boresight of the transmit station considered in the non-geostationary satellite orbit system and the direction of the GSO receive station;
t (θ i ) is the transmit antenna gain (as a ratio) of the station considered in the non-geostationary satellite orbit system in the direction of the GSO receive station;
i is the distance in meters between the transmit station considered in the non-geostationary satellite orbit system and the GSO receive station;
