You have not correctly interpreted the Government‘s requirements for systems operating on a timeshared basis with government systerms. It was not our purpose to restate the requirements laid out in FCC rules or the provisions of your license in response to your request to initiate post—license coordination. We, of course, are aware of your opposition to certain aspects of your license. Because of its importance to post—license coordination, we note in your letter that you are committed to fully comply with FCC‘s Rules in Section 25.259(b) and (c). As we stated in our letter, compliance with these rules, as well as paragraph 39 of your license, with practical implementation measures, including monitoring, is of critical concern to us to ensure the continued viability of the NOAA satellite system. As we have stated before, the FCC has all of the information it needs to make its decision on your license. We appreciate your interest in resolving your license with the FCC as soon as possible so that we can begin post—license coordination. Until the FCC concludes this matter, we see no benefit to our continued debate on these questions, a debate which may itself be causing delay in the FCC reaching its decision.
