ISP-PDR-20190128-00001 E ISAT US Inc. Petition for Declaratory Ruling Grant of Authority Date of Action: 05/01/2019 ISAT US Inc. (ISAT) and Inmarsat Solutions (US) Inc. (ISUS and, together with ISAT, Petitioners) have filed a joint petition (Petition) requesting an amended declaratory ruling pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), in connection with a November 2018 pro forma reorganization. ISAT and ISUS have also filed related applications seeking Commission consent to the pro forma transfer of control of their respective common carrier earth station licenses. See IBFS File No. SES-T/C-20190128-00008 (ISAT application for consent to pro forma transfer of control of Call Sign E090032); IBFS File No. SES-T/C-20190128-00007 (ISUS application for consent to pro forma transfer of control of Call Signs E000180, E010047, E011048, E010049, E010050, E050249, E070114). ISAT and ISUS are organized in Delaware, as is their direct, 100% parent, Inmarsat Group Holdings Inc. (IGHI). IGHI ultimately is wholly owned and controlled, through a series of intervening U.K.-organized holding companies, by Inmarsat plc, a public company organized in the United Kingdom. According to the Petition, the internal reorganization for which Petitioners seek approval is limited to replacing one intervening U.K.-organized entity in the middle of the Petitioners' ownership chain with a new U.K.-organized entity resulting in no change in Petitioners' ultimate ownership or control. Specifically, Inmarsat New Ventures Ltd. replaced Inmarsat Ventures Ltd. Petitioners request that we amend their existing rulings specifically to approve the insertion of Inmarsat New Ventures Ltd. using the procedures that the Commission applied to their earlier grants of section 310(b)(4) authority, citing Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, FCC 13-50, 28 FCC Rcd 5741, para. 138 (2013) ("We will continue to apply our existing [pre-2013] foreign ownership policies and procedures to [] licensees [with a ruling granted prior to the rule changes in 2013] within the parameters of their existing rulings."). According to the Petition, ISAT's foreign ownership ruling was granted under IBFS File No. ISP-PDR-20100107-00006 (International Authorizations Granted, TEL-01444, Public Notice, 25 FCC Rcd 10332, 10338 (IB 2010)), as amended in IBFS File No. ISP-PDR-20150401-00001 (International Authorizations Granted, TEL-01733, Public Notice, 30 FCC Rcd 4789, 4789 (IB 2015). ISUS received a ruling in 2010 under its former name, Stratos Communications, Inc., under IBFS File No. ISP-PDR-20100628-00014 (International Authorizations Granted, TEL-01444, Public Notice, 25 FCC Rcd 10332, 10334 (IB 2010)). Pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the Commission's rules and policies applicable to foreign ownership of common carrier licensees and spectrum lessees, we find that the public interest would be served by granting the Petition. Specifically, we extend the foreign ownership rulings issued to ISAT (25 FCC Rcd at 10338, as modified in 30 FCC Rcd at 4789), and ISUS (25 FCC Rcd at 10334), to authorize the insertion of Inmarsat New Ventures Ltd. into their vertical ownership chain. Grant of this declaratory ruling is conditioned on Inmarsat plc's continued compliance with the Network Security Agreement (Agreement) between Inmarsat plc, on the one hand, and the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, on the other, dated September 23, 2008. A copy of the Agreement is appended to the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling in IB Docket No. 08-143, Robert M. Franklin, Transferor, and Inmarsat, plc, Transferee, DA 09-117, 24 FCC Rcd 449, Appendix B (IB 2009).
