Bristol, CT Attachment to FCC STA Application Request for Special Temporary Authority On behalf of ESPN Productions, Inc. ("ESPN"), this letter requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate in UHF frequencies 488 to 494 MHz in order to coordinate event emergencies, transportation, security and safety conditions in connection with ESPN‘s live coverage of the 2019 ESPY Award Show to be held in Los Angeles, CA from July 1 through July 30, 2019. ESPN has monitored the requested frequencies to insure that there is no interference with local licensed users. The ESPY Show is an annual event attracting an extremely large spectator crowd. Crowd control, potential safety hazards and the need for effective radio communications for coordination are necessary. Frequency distribution will be utilized for operations, security, crowd management and first aid coordination. Operations on the proposed frequencies will be monitored on a 24—hour basis, and it is understood that authorization is secondary in nature. There will be six hundred (600) UHF 4 watt handheld radios utilized along with ten (10) 25—watt trunking repeaters to provide adequate radio coverage of the event area. ESPN has coordinated this use of this spectrum with the SBE Frequency Coordinator of record for the Los Angeles, California area and has received approval. The applicant hereby certifies that no party of this application is subject to denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §853(a). If there are any questions concerning this request, please contact Kenneth G. Gordon, Jr. of the ESPN, Inc. Legal Department at (860) 766—3439 (Facsimile 860—766—2423) and for questions of a technical nature, please contact Dana Underhill at (860) 766—2278.
