26 February 2015 Ms. Evelyn Cherry Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 Subject: Confidentiality request for schematics drawings submitted in support of FCC Certification for ACSS Multilink Transponder part number 9029000-20000 (Model NGT-9000). Reference: FCC Rules Sections 0.457(d) and 0.459 as authority for confidentiality request FCC ID#: 2ACTZMSS90 Reference #:46704 731 Form #: EA604696 ACSS FRN: 0004999231 Dear Ms. Cherry: In accordance with FCC Rules Sections 0.457(d) and 0.459 as the authority, ACSS submitted a request that long-term confidentiality be granted for a number of schematic drawings under our FCC application for FCC ID# 2ACTZMSS90. If ACSS understands the request in your correspondence correctly, you are asking for a Non- Disclosure agreement between the grantee and the purchaser. To this end, ACSS wants to provide clarification on why some of the provided drawings currently have an L-3 Communications Avionics Systems logo on the front page. I hope this letter will fully address your concern because a non- disclosure agreement would not demonstrate the fact that ACSS has full rights to the subject product data/drawings. ACSS and L-3 Avionics Systems (L-3 AS) are sister companies under L-3 Communications Corporation, Aviation Products Sector. Therefore, we are jointly part of L-3 Communications. For the NGT-9000 Transponder product, ACSS owns and has full rights to the NGT-9000 product; however, because ACSS hired L-3 AS to perform some of the design for the ACSS product, some of the drawings have not yet been converted to the ACSS format. Furthermore, because ACSS was initially planning to have L-3 AS begin the manufacture of the product for ACSS (which has since changed back to ACSS production), the production drawings in particular are not yet in an ACSS format. For the sake of market timing and being able to provide a much needed product to the ADS-B market, ACSS hopes this explanation will suffice to alleviate any FCC concerns. 1 of 2
