August 14—20, 2000, Louisville, Kentucky 2. August 21—27, 2000, Akron, Ohio Dear Gentlemen: CBS Communication Services, Inc. (CCS) requests a Special Temporary Authority (STA) to operate on certain 2.5 GHz frequencies in conjunction with its operations providing television coverage of the following two major golf tournaments: (1) PGA Championship, Valhalla Country Club, Louisville, Kentucky, August 14—20,2000 (2) the NEC Akron World of Golf Tournament, Firestone Country Club, Akron, Illinois, August 21—27, 2000. Previously, similar STAs have been granted to CCS or its subcontractor, Broadcast Sports Technology (BST), a manufacturer and provider of video transmission equipment for remote video and film production sporting events, for the testing and use ofequipment on these frequencies. CCS requests an identical authorization for video production at these two upcoming major tournaments. The use ofthese frequencies, in addition to broadcast auxiliary frequencies normally used for video production, is necessitated by the unavailability of sufficient broadcast auxiliary frequencies for an event of this magnitude. Therefore, in addition to the frequencies for which CCS and BST has existing authority to use, we hereby request authority to use the following frequencies: 40022.1

CCS and BST have been granted prior special temporary authority to utilize these frequencies in other areas premised on prior coordination with the ITFS licensees in the area. CCS and BST will coordinate use of the requested frequencies with all licensee entities and obtain all necessary concurrence, as was done in previous instances. The coordinates for the Valhalla Country Club is 38—14—33N and 85—28—02W and for the Firestone Country Club is 41—0—27N and 81—30—28W. All operation will cease on these frequencies upon any report of interference.
