                   of Local Zoning Regulations and for Waivers of Section 25.104

Petitions for Declaratory Rulings:

       On March 11, 1996, the Commission released a Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (RO&FNPRM) revising our rule regarding preemption of local zoning
regulations of satellite earth stations, IB Docket No. 95—59, FCC 96—78 (released March 11, 1996). The
preemption rule allows for any person "aggrieved by the application or potential application of a state
or local zoning or other regulation in violation of paragraph (a)" of Section 25.104 of the Commussion‘s
rules to file a petition requesting a declaration that the state or local regulation in question is preempted
by Section 25.104. Petitioners must show that they have exhausted local administrative remedies
pursuant to Section 25.104(c), 47 CF.R. § 25.104(c). All allegations of fact contained in petitions and
related pleadings must be supported by affadavit pursuant to Section 25.104(d), 47 C.F.R. § 25.104(d).

        In addition to demonstrating exhaustion of administrative remedies, petitioners must show that
a copy of the petition, a copy of this Public Notice (Report No. SPB—41), and a copy of the
Commission‘s March 11 RO&FNPRM have been served on the appropriate local officials concurrent
with its filing at the Commission. For administrative purposes, a number will be assigned to each
petition filed and should be used whenever possible in corresponding with the Commission on the
given petition. The numbers will be designated as File No. ###—SAT—DRZ—YY, where ### is the next
sequential number in the Satellite Policy Branch Database and the YY is the fiscal year in which the
petition is filed (e.g., 120—SAT—DRZ—95). A Public Notice will be issued when petitions are filed. The
Commission will send a copy of such notices —— via certified mail, return receipt requested —— to the
parties.

        Oppositions to preemption petitions must be filed within 30 days after the receipt of the Public
Notice that a petition has been filed and replies must be filed within 15 days after the time for filing
oppositions has expired. Additional pleadings may be filed only if specifically requested or authorized
by the Commussion.


                                                                                                   Approved by OMB
                                                                                                             3060—0707
                                                                                                      expires 10/31/99


Petitions for waivers:

       Section 25.104(e), 47 CFR. § 25.104(e), sets forth a waiver procedure for any any state or
local authority to petition the Commission for a full or partial waiver of Section 25.104 in order to
maintain and enforce zoning or other regulations inconsistent with this section.     Petitions for waiver
must specifically set forth the particular regulation for which waiver is sought and may be granted by
the Commission upon a showing of local concerns of a highly specialized or unusual nature.

        For administrative purposes, a number will be assigned to each request for waiver filed and
should be used whenever possible in corresponding with the Commission on the given request. The:
numbers will be designated as File No. ###—SAT—WAIVZ—YY, where ### is the next sequential number
in the Satellite Policy Branch Database and the YY is the fiscal year in which the petition is filed (e.g.,
155—SAT—WAIVZ—95). A Public Notice will be issued when petitions for waiver are filed.

        Oppositions to waiver requests must be filed within 30 days after release of a Public Notice
that a waiver has been filed and replies must be filed within 15 days after the time for filing
oppositions has expired. Additional pleadings may be filed only if specifically requested or authorized
by the Commission.
