In the C—band, Intelsat 30 utilizes only one polarization with its uplink and downlink frequency beams and does not comply with the provisions of Section 25.210(f). Intelsat states, however, that Intelsat 30 will be located in close proximity to another satellite, Intelsat 31 (Call Sign $2924), for which Intelsat is seeking authorization and which is currently under construction." The beam polarization utilized by Intelsat 30 is opposite to that which is proposed for use by Intelsat 31. Thus, Intelsat asserts that when operating in tandem, Intelsat 30 and Intelsat 31 will employ full frequency reuse and, as a result, satisfy the Commission‘s policy of maximizing the use of transponder capacity. We find that grant of this waiver does not harm the underlying purpose of the Commission‘s full frequency reuse requirement because Intelsat 30 will be collocated and operating in tandem with Intelsat 31. If the underlying basis for the waiver changes, 7.e., the paired satellites are no longer collocated and operating in tandem at the 95.05° W.L. orbital location, this waiver for the C—band payload may be subject to additional terms and conditions, as required. 6.

Intelsat must not permit any earth station in the United States or its possessions to operate with the Intelsat 30 space station in the 3400—3600 MHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band.* 7. Intelsat must inform its customers and operators using the 3400—3600 MHz (space—to— Earth) frequency band of the potential for interference from U.S. government operations worldwide. 8. Intelsat‘s use of the 3600—3650 MHz (space—to—Earth) band is subject to GN Docket No. 12—354, which limits FSS communications within the United States in the 3600—3650 MHz band on a primary basis to existing earth stations or to new earth stations within 10 miles of existing earth stations." All other FSS earth station operations in the band 3600—3650 MHz must be on a secondary basis. 9. Intelsat‘s use of the 3600—3650 MHz (space—to—Earth) band is subject to footnote US245 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US245, which states that the 3600—3650 MHz use of the non—Federal FSS is limited to international inter—continental systems and is subject to case—by—case electromagnetic compatibility analysis. 10. Intelsat‘s use of the 3650—3700 MHz (space—to—Earth) band is subject to footnote NG185 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, NG185, which states that the 3650—3700 MHz use of the non—Federal FSS is limited to international inter—continental systems. 11. Intelsat‘s use of the 3650—3700 MHz (space—to—Earth) band is subject to footnote NG169 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, which states that after December 1, 2000, operations on a primary basis by the FSS (space—to—Earth) in the band 3650—3700 MHz must be limited to grandfathered earth stations. All other FSS earth station operations in the band 3650—3700 MHz must be on a secondary basis. 3 Legal Narrative, IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20121025—00187, at 1.

Operations of Intelsat 30 in the 6650—6675.2 MHz and 14.47—14.5 GHz frequency bands must comply with the terms of footnotes 5.149 and US342 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, 5.149, US342, which urge applicants to take all practicable steps to protect the radio astronomy service from harmful interference. 13. Intelsat is directed to bear in mind the needs ofthe passive services when operating the Intelsat 30 space station in the 6425—6675 MHz and 6675—6725 MHz frequency bands pursuant to Footnote 5.458 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, Footnote 5.458. 14. Intelsat‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz frequency band is limited to international operations in accordance with footnote NG52 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106 NGS2. 15. Intelsat‘s request for waiver of footnote NG52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, to use the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency band to offer domestic services on an unprotected, non—interference basis in the United States is GRANTED, as conditioned." We find that waiver of footnote NGS52 does not undermine the purpose of the rules because the waiver involves only earth stations that are receive—only in the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency band and thus are not capable of causing interference into fixed stations operating in this band. Furthermore, because Intelsat has agreed . to accept any level of interference from fixed stations into its receive—only earth stations‘ operations in these bands, fixed station operators will not be required to coordinate their station operations with the space station operator‘s receive—only earth stations‘ operations.‘ Under these circumstances, we determine that an additional coordination burden is not placed upon fixed station operators and their ability to expand service in the future would not be restricted in any manner.° Grant of this waiver is consistent with prior Commission precedent® and is subject to the following conditions: ° Intelsat‘s application requests a waiver of footnote NG104 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations and footnote 2 to Section 25.202(a)(1), 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, NG104; 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(a)(1). Together, NG104 and footnote 2 of Section 25.202(a)(1) limited use of the 10.7—11.7 GHz frequency band by geostationary orbit FSS satellite systems to international systems (that is, other than domestic systems). We note that 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, NG104 was replaced by 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, NG52 regarding mobile applications of FSS, and footnote 2 of Section 25.202(a)(1) was removed.

As a result of this Commission action, Intelsat‘s request for waiver of footnote 2 to Section 25.202(a)(1) is no longer necessary. NGS52 retains the limitation on GSO FSS operations in the 10.7—11.7 GHz band to international systems, but permits the authorization of reception of GSO FSS emissions for Earth Stations on Vessels, Vehicle—Mounted Earth Stations, and Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft, subject to the condition that these earth stations do not claim protection from transmissions of non—Federal Fixed Service stations. ?

Intelsat‘s space—to—Earth transmissions in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band that provide domestic service are on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis relative to fixed stations. As such, Intelsat must not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, fixed stations to which frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band have either been already assigned, or to which frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band may be assigned at a later date. Intelsat must terminate operations in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band upon notification that its operations are causing interference to fixed stations operating in this band, and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. b. Intelsat is required to inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from resellers accessing capacity on the Intelsat 30 space station, that the service in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band with regard to domestic service is being provided on an uncoordinated basis, and that the potential exists that future licensed fixed stations may cause harmful interference to these unprotected earth stations. 16. Intelsat‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz band (Earth—to—space) is subject to footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47. C.F.R. § 2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airborne or space station assignments to take all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference, consistent with footnote US74. 17. In the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space), receiving space stations in the Fixed— Satellite Service must not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with the United States Table of Frequency Allocations. 18. Pursuant to footnote US337 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US337, any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the Intelsat 30 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) is required to coordinate through National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS) to minimize interference to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, including manned space flight. 19.

Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its possessions communicating with the Intelsat 30 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must be consistent with footnote 5.502 to the ITU Radio Regulations, which allows a minimum antenna diameter of 1.2 meters for earth stations of a geostationary satellite orbit network and specifies mandatory power limits. 21. Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the Intelsat 30 space station in the 13.77—13.78 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must comply with footnote US357 to United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357, which specifies that a required maximum EIRP density of emissions not exceed 71 dBW in any 6 MHz band for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit.‘‘ Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its possessions communicating with the Intelsat 30 space station in the 13.77—13.78 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must comply with footnote 5.503 to the ITU Radio Regulations, which specifies a required maximum EIRP density of emissions (limit is dependent on antenna diameter) for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit. 22. Operations of Intelsat 30 to or from the United States must comply with the power levels specified in Section 25.212 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.212, unless Intelsat coordinates any operations using power levels exceeding the levels in Section 25.212 with all potentially affected adjacent satellites within 6 degrees orbital separation of the 95.05° W.L. orbital location. Intelsat must inform the Commission of the power levels it has coordinated. In addition, Intelsat must inform all affected earth station operators that Section 25.220 of the Commission‘s rules applies to operations that exceed the power levels specified in Section 25.212. In no event may the uplink power density level of Intelsat 30‘s digital carriers operating in the 6425—6725 MHz and 13.75—14.5 GHz band exceed —38.7 dBW/Hz and —45 dBW/Hz, respectively. Further, in no event may the downlink EIRP density of the Intelsat 30 digital carriers operating in: the 3400—3700 MHz band exceed —32 dBW/Hz; the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.7—11.948 GHz bands exceed —16.5 dBW/Hz; the 11.45—11.7 GHz band exceed 13.8 dBW/Hz; and the 11.948—12.2 GHz band exceed —1 5.2 dBW/Hz. 23. Intelsat 30 must begin providing service at the 95.05° W.L. orbital location in the 11.45— 11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth), 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth), 6425—6675 MHz (Earth—to—space), 13.75— 14.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands before the satellite it is replacing, Galaxy 3C (Call Sign $2381), discontinues service at the 95.05° W.L. orbital location." Failure to meet this milestone will render this authorization to operate in these frequency bands NULL and VOID. TRMM space station receiver. Letter from Frederick R. Wentland, Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management, NTIA, to Don Abelson, Chief, International Bureau, FCC (February 28, 2002). Considering the secondary nature of the TRMM operation, NTIA‘s request is not a condition of this authorization. The Commission, however, urges all operators of earth stations accessing the Intelsat 30 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band to cooperate voluntarily with NASA in order to facilitate continued operation of the TRMM satellite. ‘‘ Footnote US357 places a restriction on FSS earth station operations in order to protect government operations in the band, including manned space flight. 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357. * Intelsat does not seek authority to operate Intelsat 30 at 95.05° W.L. in the 3700—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth) or the 5925—6425 MHz (space—to—Earth) frequencies, which are currently also authorized for use by Galaxy 3C at this location.
