ISP-PDR-20020628-00021 P SES Americom, Inc. Petition for Declaratory Ruling SES AMERICOM, Inc. (SES AMERICOM or "Petitioner") requests that the Commission find permissible indirect foreign ownership of SES AMERICOM in excess of the 25 percent benchmark of Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Specifically, SES AMERICOM requests a Commission ruling that indirect ownership of SES AMERICOM by the foreign entities identified in its petition is in the public interest and that SES AMERICOM may accept indirect foreign ownership, up to an additional aggregate 25%, without taking into account the interests held by these foreign entities. According to the petition, these companies are institutional investors that currently own, in the aggregate, approximately 5.26% of the economic interests and 4.4% of the voting interests in the petitioner's parent, SES GLOBAL. Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), each of the named foreign investors has its "home market" in a WTO Member country. SES AMERICOM also seeks a ruling that, if any of the named foreign investors, or any foreign investor previously identified to, and approved by, the Commission, increases its investment in SES GLOBAL (up to an individual limit of 25%), the additional shareholdings will not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the additional, aggregate 25% indirect foreign ownership that SES AMERICOM may accept. The Bureau previously issued a section 310(b)(4) ruling to SES AMERICOM in Application of General Electric Capital Corporation, Transferor, and SES GLOBAL, S.A., Transferee, Order and Authorization, 16 FCC Rcd 17575 (Int'l Bur., Wireless Bur. 2001), Supplemental Order, 16 FCC Rcd 18878 (Int'l Bur., Wireless Bur. 2001).
