Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an LTTS licensee. Its Airship Operations Division is engaged in video production from the Goodyear Blimps throughout the United States, covering major sporting and other newsworthy events on a contract basis with broadcast and cable networks. Goodyear is licensed to use broadcast auxiliary channels at 1990-2110 MHz (Channels A1-A7) and 2400-2483.5 MHz (Channels A8 and A9). Goodyear is not authorized to use Channel A10 (2483.5-2500 MHz) which is available on a grandfathered basis for broadcast auxiliary use. Goodyear is not, at the venues listed in this application, able to utilize Channels A1 through A9 due to occupancy by other entities in the markets, including other BAS and LTTS licensees. Therefore, this channel is needed for video production in these specific venues. In addition, Goodyear is engaged in research involving high-definition analog and digital video in a 17 MHz channel bandwidth. It is unable to conduct tests in BAS/LTTS channels A1 through A7 because the transition to narrower channels in that band due to the reallocation of the 1990-2025 MHz segment, and the high degree of occupancy by BAS and LTTS licensees in those channels precludes virtually all operation in that band, much less experimentation with high-definition, full-motion video. Neither can Goodyear make any use of BAS/LTTS channels A8 and A9 for experimentation with high-definition video due to the high levels of noise in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band from Part 15 and 18 devices, especially Wi-Fi devices in use in the sports stadiums and arenas where Goodyear conducts its operations. Therefore, Goodyear proposes to use Channel A10 for these experiments at the specific locations indicated.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Video production of sporting events from blimps. The purposes of operation are to permit the applicant to conduct video production temporarily from the Goodyear blimps by downlinking to production trucks on the ground. Secondarily, it will permit experimentation with high-definition video production in relatively narrow bandwidths, using analog and digital emissions at specific venues where interference to other co-channel services will not occur.

Certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
