Suite 1007 Deputy General Counsel Arlington, VA 22202—3501 (703) 414—1060 Fax: (703) 414—1079 Received RECEIVED June 26, 2003 JuL 1 1 2003 JuN 2.6 2003 T Marlene Dortch, Secretary ur coratGBureat International *omceormseorciam Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Loral Space & Communications Ltd. Application for Authority to Launch and Operate Four GSO FSS Satellites in the V—Band: 152—SAT—P/LA—97 (SAT—LOA—19970926—00143); 153—SAT—P/LA—97 (SAT—LOA—19970926— 00144); 154—SAT—P/LA—97 (SAT—LOA—19970926—00142); and 155—SAT— P/LA—97 (SAT—LOA—19970926—00145) Dear Ms. Dortch: Loral Space & Communications Ltd. ("Loral") hereby requests that the Commission dismiss, without prejudice, its above—captioned applications for authority to launch and operate four geostationary fixed—satellite service satellites that would operate in the 40.5—41.5 GHz and 49.2—50.2 GHz bands ("V—band applications").‘ Pursuant to Section 25.152(a) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.152(a), dismissal of Loral‘s V—band applications is to be granted as a matter of right if the request is made prior to final Commission action. Loral filed its applications almost six years ago on September 26, 1997, in response to a cut—off notice establishing a processing round for V—band applications.? Since that time, other than the routine assignment of file numbers, Loral‘s V—band applications have not been accepted for filing, placed on public notice or otherwise Loral is also submitting requests for refund of the application fees Loral paid in connection with these applications. * Cut—off Established for Additional Space Station Applications and Letters of Intent in the 36 — 51.4 GHz Frequency Band, Public Notice, 12 FCC Red. 10450 (rel. July 22, 1997); Clarifications and Corrections to Public Notices Report Nos SPB—88 and SPB—89, Public Notice, 12 FCC Red 12050 (rel. Aug. 13, 1997).

182489.1 processed. These delays and uncertainty surrounding the V—band spectrum allocation have led Loral to decide not to pursue these applications. Please contact the undersigned with any questions regarding this request. Regards, ALP S— John P. Stern co: Tom Tycz Fern Jarmulnek Jennifer Gilsenan
