The Commission reserves the right to return any of the applications if, upon further examination, it is determined the application is not in conformance with the Commission's rules or its policies. Consideration of each satellite application in this Public Notice may depend on the Commission's action on another satellite application earlier in the queue. Petitions, oppositions and other pleadings filed in response to this notice should conform to Section 25.154 of the Commission's rules, unless otherwise noted. 47 C.F.R. § 25.154.

("Sirius") filed a request for special temporary authority (STA) to operate four satellite digital audio radio service (SDARS) terrestrial repeaters in Alaska and in Hawaii with power levels below 2000 watts. The repeaters would operate at the locations, and with the technical characteristics, set forth in Sirius' application. Sirius states that grant of its STA request is necessary to allow it to provide high quality commercial SDARS programming in Alaska and Hawaii. Sirius also states that the terrestrial repeaters will be used to overcome the effects of satellite signal blockage and multipath interference. This application has been designated "permit-but-disclose" for the purposes of the Commission's rules governing ex parte communications. See Policy Branch Information: Actions Taken, Report SAT-00409, DA 06-2575 (released December 22, 2006). SAT-STA-20061207-00145 E Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.
