     CONCLUSION


                                            SUMMARY


        Under a plain reading of 47 C.F.R. Section 25.163,a performance bond may only be

imposed on "satellite licenses" fssued after teffective date ofthe rule and not on license

modifications. The Bureau erred in applying the performance bond to Loral‘s request to modify
a preexisting satellite replacement license. Moreover, the Commission‘s orders make clear that
the bond rule was intended to have limited application to certain new satellite applications, not

modification requests, pending at the time the bond rule became effective to avoid imposing a
burden on existing licensees, pursuant to well established retroactivity criteria.

       In the altemative, should the Petition for Reconsideration be dismissed, Loral secks a

waiver of the rule for good cause. Loral‘s Telstar satellites have provided critical capacity used

for public safety services by agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security, and Telstar 11R would

continue to provide capacity for such publi safety services. The Commission has specifically
cited provision ofsuch public safety services as a factor weighing in favor ofa request for
waiver ofthe bond requirement. Loral is also in a Chapter 11 reorganization process precipitated
by significant financial hardship and can il afford the substantial costs associated with

maintaining the bond. Waiver is also justified here because even if the Bureau‘s action could be

upheld under the new bond rule, the retroactive financial burden on Loral, as an existing

Hicensee,remains substantial. Finally, the nearly three—year pendency of Loral‘s modification
request followed by almost immediate Bureau action following the effective date of a revised

bond rule under which the Bureau seeks to impose the bond here presents an equitable reason for

grant ofthe waiver.

                               REQUEST FOR WAIVER


       Loral Orion, Inc. (Debtor—In—Possession) (‘Loral") submits this petition for partial
reconsideration ofthe International Bureau‘s grant of Loral‘s Request for Modification of
its Telstar 11R authorization. Specifically, Loral requests that the Bureau rescind or
strike condition 2(e)in the attachment to the Telstar 11R Modification Grant, that
required Loral to execute and file a $3 million dollar bond. Under a plain reading of the
Commission‘s bond rule,and in light of the policies set forth in the Commission‘s
underlying orders as well as established retroactivity law, the Bureau should not have
retroactively imposed the bond requirement which took effect in 2004, on a replacement
satellite liense that the Commission granted in 2001.


        In the altemative, should the Commission determine that the imposition ofthe
bond requirement was justified, Loral seeks a waiver ofthe rule. Loral satelites have
provided critical eapacity used for public safety services by agencies including the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Defense, and the
Department of Homeland Security, and Telstar 1 1R would continue to provide capacity
for such public safety services. The Commission has specifically cited provision of such
public safety services as a factor weighing in favor ofa request for waiver ofthe bond
requirement. Loral is also in a Chapter 11 reorganization process precipitated by
significant financial hardship and can ill afford the substantial costs associated with
maintaining the bond.
        In the interim, Loral posted the bond on October 28, 2004, to comply with the
bond condition that is being challenged and to prevent possible automatic cancellation of
its license.


L       BACKGROUND

        Telstar 11, a Ku—band satellite formerly known as Orion 1 and operated by Loral‘s
predecessor in interest, Orion Atlantic, L.P. ("Orion"), has been operating at 37.5° W.L.
since January 20, 1995. Telstar 11 is one ofthe series of Telstar FSS satellites that have
provided a range ofservices to government and commercial users including critical
public safety services provided to Americans via the Federal Emergency Management
Agency and the Department of Defense. Orion filed an application to replace the satellite
on May 8, 1998. On June 19, 2001 the Commission authorized Loral CyberStar, Inc. to


construct,launch and operate Telstar 1 TR as a Ku—band—only replacement for Telstar 11.\
Loral promptly requested that the Bureau adjust the construction milestonesThe 2001
Replacement Authorization had required completion ofconstruction by January 2003, a
date that was reasonable when the application was fled in 1998 but could not have been
met three years later when the Commission acted on the application, as it would have
allowed just fourteen months in which to construct the satellte. Loral‘s milestone
adjustment request was unopposed. Then, in November 2001, Loral filed an application
for a modification of its authorization to use an additional 250 Mhz of spectrum in the
extended Ku—band (2001 Modification Request)The 2001 Modification Request was
also unopposed.
        On October 1, 2004, the Commission released a public notice containing the
International Bureau‘s grant ofthe 2001 Modification Request.* The Bureau grant
stamped the request and attached a set ofconditions, including new construction
milestones and a requirement that Loral file a bond in the amount of$3 million by
October 28, 2004." The Bureau dismissed Loral‘s request to adjust the milestones as
moot, Loral executed a bond in that amount on Thursday, October 28, 2004 after

        The FCC rule requiring the posting ofbonds, section 25.165, tatesin relevant
part:
        (2) For all satelite licenses issued after September 20, 2004, other than DBS
            Hicenses, DARS licenses, and replacement satellite licenses as defined in
            paragraph (e), the licensee is required to post a bond within 30 days ofthe
            grant ofits license. Failure to post a bond will render the license null and void
            automatically.
           (1) NGSO licenseesare required to post a bond in the amount of $5 million
           (2) GSO licenseesare required to post a bond n the amount of $3 million
     sx++4
       (€) A replacement satellite is one that is
           (1) authorized to be operated atthe same orbit location, in the same frequency
           bands, and with the same coverage area as one ofthe licensee‘s existing
           satelltes and
           (2)scheduled to be Iaunched so thatit will be brought into use at
           approximately the same time as, but no later than, the existing satellte is
            retired.®
        Loral contends that the Bureau improperly applied this rule retroactively upon the
2001 Replacement Authorization because the Commission did not ‘issue"a "satellite
Hicense" when it grant stamped Loral‘s 2001 Modification Request. The Commission
issued itsreplacement satelite license for Telstar 11R to Loral in 2001 (what the Bureau
itself refers to as the ©2001 Replacement Authorization®), more than two years before the

first bond requirement took effect. The 2001 Replacement Authorization gave Loral final
authority to construct,lunch and operate its replacement satellite, Telstar 1 1R, at 37.5°
W.L. Thus, Loral already had its replacement satllite Kicense when it applied for a
modification ofthat license to use additional Ku—band frequencies in November 2001
Indeed, Loral had already promptly executed a contract for construction for Telstar 11R
in November 2001, in compliance with the original construction commencement
milestone imposed by the Commission in its 2001 Replacement Authorization, at the
time that it applied for its modification. By merely grant stamping Loral‘s unopposed
2001 modification request to add additional spectrum to Loral‘s 2001 Replacement
Authorization, the International Bureau could not be deemmed to have issued a second
replacement stellitelicense to Loral for the same orbital location. The Telstar 1 1R
*satellite Kicense" had already been "issued" in 2001. It was the modification to that
Hicense that was granted after the bond rule became effective, not the "satellte icense""
that isubject tothe bond requirement in section 25.165(@).
       The Commission has traditionally differentiated in its rules between space station

Hicenses and space station license modifications. There are separate provisions in the
Commission‘s rules for each." In the Commission‘s First Report and Order, in which it
set out its new satellite licensing rules, including the bond requirement, it maintained this
traditional distinction between "modifications", which it defined as "changes to a
Hicensee‘s operating authority after itslicense has been granted" and "new satellite license

applications."*. Accordingly, under a plain reading of Section 25.165 ofthe
Commission‘s rules, he Bureau erred in imposing the bond as a condition to the Telstar
11R Modification Grant.
111.    THE COMMISSION‘S ORDER IMPOSING THE BOND SPECIFICALLY
        LIMITED APPLICATION OF THE BOND REQUIREMENT TO
        PENDING APPLICATIONS FOR NEW SATELLITE LICENSES

        The Commission‘s First Report and Order sets out its new satellite licensing rules,

including the initial version ofthe bond requirement. That Order‘s detailed and specific
discussion of which applications pending as ofthe effective date of the bond rule could

be subject to that rule yields further support for Loral‘s argument that the bond
requirement was not intended to apply retroactively to preexisting satellte licenses, such
as Loral‘s 2001 Replacement Authorization, or to modifications of such preexisting

authorizations. The Commission began its retroactivity discussion by stating that "we

will apply the rules and proceduzes we adoptin this Order to pending applications, in
cases where doing so will help further the goals ofthis proceeding to expedite service to
the public and discourage speculation."" This statement makes clear that the
Commission‘s new rules would apply to some but notall applications pending as ofthe
effective date of the bond rule. The First Report and Order relied on established

retroactivity law for the criteria it would use to make such determinations. The

Commission articulated the following well established and limited circumstances for

retroactive application of new rulesto pending applications: "The Commission can apply
new procedures to pending applications if doing so does not impair the rights an applicant

possessed when it filed ts application, increase an applicant‘s liability for past conduct,
or impose new duties on applicants with respect to transactions already completed.""
The Commission went on to conclude that application of the new rules tothe types of
applications it specified in its First Report and Order would not have any ofthe
prohibited effects."
        But that conclusion was based on the Commission‘s clarification that to satisfy
the criteria for retroactive application ofnew rules to pending applications, only
applications for new satellite lcenses would be subject its new satellite Kicensing rules,
including the bond rule. Specifically, the Commission stated: «We emphasize that some
ofthe rules we apply to pending applications do not apply to licenses granfed before this
Order was adopted. Thus, licensees will not be required to post a bond for lcenses they
have been granted in the past.""" And the Commission wrote: "We will apply this bond
requirement to new satellte icensees only, not replacement satellites. Once a licensce
has begun to provide service, we are confident that its replacement satellite application
will be intended to continue service, and would not be filed for speculative purposes."

As recently as July 6, 2004, the Commission reaffirmed this policy: "[WJe reiterate that
the Commission did not adopt a bond requirement for replacement satellites.""" By
effectively imposing the bond on a replacement satellte license that was granted before
the bond rule became effective, the Interational Bureau acted in violation ofthese clear

directives in the First Report and Order, directives that are based on established
retroactivity precedent.
      The Bureau‘s imposition ofthe bond, without discussion or analysis, in a grant
stamped license modification in this case also clearly fails to satisty the substantive
criteria for retroactive application ofnew rules set forth by the Commission because the
bond does *impose new duties on applicants with respect totransactions already
completed." In the First Report and Order the Commission concluded that application of
the bond rule would not "impose new duties" on applicants for new satellite lienses
"with respect to transactions already completed"because merely filing an application for
a new satellite license could not be considered a completed transaction as such applicants
have not yet been granted space station licenses. But here the Bureau did impose a new
duty on Loral with respect to a "transaction already completed" by making Loral‘s 2001
Replacement Authorization subject to the bond requirement that became effective on
September 20, 2004. Ttis indisputable that imposition of a multi million—dollar bond on
existing licensees clearly imposes significant new duties and burdens on their licenses —
the "transactions already completed." The Bureau‘s imposition ofthe bond on Loral‘s
2001 Replacement Authorization, has had an effect that the Commission specifically
sought to avoid: an existing licensee, Loral,has been burdened with a requirement to
spend considerable money on implementation of a $3 million dollar bond with respect to
a license for a replacement satellite that the Commission granted long before the bond
rule became effective.
        Had the Commission intended to apply the bond to existing satellite lcenseesor
existing satellit replacement licenses with modification requests pending at the time that


the bond rule became effective, the Commission would have had to consider and justify
the burden that the bond would impose on an existing licensce. That the Commission
failed to even mention such a case, et alone analyze or justifyit, supports the proposition
that the Commission carefullylimited retroactive application ofthe bond rule to pending
applications for new satellites, he only type of pending applications that it specifically
determined should be subject t the bond rule.
        Additional evidence of the Commission‘s intent to apply the bond only to new
satellite applications can be found in its assumption that the only pending satellite
applications to which its new rules would apply would be those filed in processing rounds
in which the Commission‘s fungibility policy applied."* The Commission noted that such
applicants for new satellite licenses could not have reasonably assumed they would be
granted any authority if mutually exclusive applications were filed. Of course this
assumption does not apply to the Bureau‘s application ofthe bond to a preexisting
replacement authorization since the former fungibility policy and processing rounds
applied only to new space station applications and not to a modification application to an
existing authorization for a satelit intended to replace a licensee‘s operational satellte at
a particular orbital slt. Had the Commission intended to apply the bond rule tolicense
modification applications for existing replacement satellite lienses it would have to have
considered this as an exception, not covered by the fungibility/processing round rationale
discussed above. Unlike applicants thatfiled in processing rounds to which the
fungibility policy applied, Loral reasonably had an expectation thatits modification
request for its existing 2001 Replacement Authorization would be granted at 37.5° W.L.,

"* Fist Report and Order, $277.


as the application was not fled in the context ofa processing round and fungibility policy
was not applicable.
        1tis telling that te only specific applications that the Commission determined
should be covered by the new licensing rules were new satellte applications filed in the
V—band and Ka—NGSO processing rounds."" The Commission directed the International
Bureau to review other pending applications consistent with the considerations discussed
above."*. Inits grant—stamped Telstar 11R Modification the Bureau filed to even discuss,
let alone justify, retroactive imposition ofthe bond or how such action could satisfy the
Commission‘s retroactivity criteri in light ofthe obvious burden that the bond imposes
on Loral‘s preexisting 2001 Replacement Authorization. Nor did the Bureau even
attempt to explain how imposing the bond now would expedite service or discourage
speculation with respect to a replacement satellte previously granted toa licensee already
operating a satellite in the same orbital location.
        Moreover, the Bureau‘s action cannot be justified under the theory that in
granting Loral‘s modification request it issued a new replacement lcense that included
extended Ku—band. The Commission had already granted the 2001 Replacement License
and its 2001 Modification Request was just that: a modification request and not a "new"
replacement license. Further,that the bond imposed a new duty and onerous obligation
on Loral‘s existing Telstar 1 TR license is clear, even if the Bureau‘s Telstar 1 1R
Modification Grant could be deemed to be a new satellitelcense by virtue ofthe grant of
authority to operate in the extended Ku—band. The Bureau‘s action stil has the

                                              10


consequence of burdening the 2001 Replacement Authorization because both the Ku—
band and extended Ku—band payloads will be on the same satellite. Thus, the retroactive
effect ofthe bond on the 2001 Replacement Authorization is inescapable and the burden
it imposes is not lessened and therefore should not bejustified even ifthe Telstar 11R
Modification could be read as an additional or separate space station license pursuant to
Section 25.165 and the revised definition ofreplacement satelites to exclude those with
authorizations to operate in extended bands.
        In addition, in the First Order on Reconsideration, in which the Commission
determined for the first time to apply the bond requirement to replacement satellits that
are authorized to use extended bands,"" the briefdiscussion by which the Commission
reaffirmed its decision to apply the bond rule to applications pending at the time that the
bond rule became effective did not include any analysis of how imposing the bond on a
pending modification request to an existing replacement authorization could satisty the
established retronctivity erteria, discussed above."" The absence of any such discussion
or analysis further supports Loral‘s position that the Commission did not intend for the

Bureau to impose the bond requirement retroactively upon replacement satellte

authorizations granted prior to September 20, 2004.
Iv.     EVEN IF THE COMMISSION FAILS TO RESCIND THE BOND
        REQUIREMENT, IT SHOULD GRANT LORAL‘S REQUEST FOR A
        WAIVER OF SECTION 25.165(A) OF THE COMMISSION‘S RULES

        In the event that the Commission determines to uphold the imposition of the bond

requirement in this case, Section 25.165(a)of the Commission‘s rules, Loral requests a

waiver ofthe requirement. The Commission‘s rules provide for waivers of any rule,
provided that the petitioner shows good cause for the request."
         In the First Report and Order the Commission stated that it would consider
requests for complete or partial waivers of the bond requirement for satelite operators
proposing satelites that would provide public safety services."" Loral intends to provide
public safety services on Telstar 1 TR as it has done for years on its Telstar satellites.

Loral has consistently provided a range ofpublic safety services on Telstar 11 and other
Telstar satellites on both a long and short term basis. Such public safety services have
included provision ofdata and video capacity for the U.S. and state and local government
entities t assis with air traffic control, disaster recovery services, and certain military
operations. Telstar FSS capacity has been used to help FEMA provide communications
services for forest fire fighting operations and for emergency reliefservices for victims of
hurricanes and floods, and to help the Federal Aviation Administration to provide
aviation safety. Telstar satelites provided capacity used extensively to provide public
safety services in connection with the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and later for

public safety services provided by the Department of Homeland Security. Telstar 11R is
designed to continue to provide such public safety services, and Loral intends to provide
these services on the satellite. Forthat reason, Loral requests a waiver ofthe bond
requirement.

        Loral also remains in a Chapter 11 reorganization that began last year and seks
waiver of the bond rule based on financial hardship as evidenced by its bankruptcy

proceeding. On October 22, 2004, the Commission granted Loral a waiver for all of its
2004 regulatory fees based on the financial hardship that precipitated Loral‘s Chapter 11
filing."" In granting its waiver the Commission restated that "t will grant waivers of ts

regulatory fees on a sufficient showing of financial hardship, and evidence of bankruptey
or receivership is sufficient to establish financial hardship."" The Commission
determined that Loral had submitted evidence establishing thatit had commenced
Chapter 11 proceedings on July 15, 2003 and therefore the Commission granted the
waiver request in full"". As Loral remains in Chapter 11, it requests a waiver of the rule
based on ts continuing financial hardship.
        The costs ofmaintaining the bond are significant for Loral and waiver ofthe bond
requirement will assist Loral in its plan to successfully emerge from Chapter 11 by
reducing its costs. This will help Loral proceed more quickly to complete construction
and launch Telstar 11R, expediting service tothe public including the crtical public
safety services that have traditionally been provided using Loral‘s Telstar satellits.
        Loral also merits grant of a request for waiver in light ofthe unique circumstances
in this case. Should the Commission refect Loral‘s Petition for Reconsideration and
retain the bond requirement, this would be the first time that the bond was effectively
imposed via a modification request by a licensee, Loral,that held its eplacement license
long before the bond rule was even proposed, yet alone implemented. As discussed

above,"" even ifthe Commission determines that the Bureau had authority to impose the
bond because it deems the 2001 Modification Grant to be a new authorization for
extended Ku—band under the revised bond rule that took effect on September 20, 2004,
Loral‘s preexisting 2001 Replacement Authorization is inescapably and retronctively
burdened with the costs ofthe bond.
         Finally, Loral‘s 2001 Modification Request to add extended Ku—band frequencies
was filed on November 30, 2001. It was unopposed. Nevertheless,the Bureau did not
grant the modification request until September 28, 2004, nearly three years later and only
ight days following the effective date ofthe revised bond rule which the Bureau cites for
authority to impose the bond. Even if the Commission were to reject Loral‘s arguments
that the bond does not apply in this case, equity supports waiver ofthe bond given the
unusually long time during which Loral‘s unopposed modification request was pending
followed by almost immediate action following the effective date of the revised bond
requirement.

v.     CONCLUSION

       Forall of the reasons discussed above, Loral requests that the Commission
reconsider and rescind or delete ts imposition ofthe bond requirement attached as
condition (2)(¢) to the Telstar 1 1R Modification Grant. In the alternative, Loral requests
that the Commission grantits request for a waiver ofapplication of the bond requirement
for good cause.
