           Re:     Audacy Corporation, IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20161115—00117 (Call Sign $2982)

Dear Mr. Ewig:

           On November 15, 2016, Audacy Corporation (Audacy) filed the above—captioned application for
authority to construct, deploy and operate a non—geostationary orbit (NGSO) fixed—satellite service (FSS)
and inter—satellite service system. To aid the Commission‘s evaluation of the application, please provide
the following additional information:‘

    1.     Article 22 of the ITU Radio Regulations specifies equivalent power flux—density (epfd) limits
           applicable in frequency bands in which Audacy proposes to operate." As part ofits application,
           Audacy states that it will comply with the epfd limits for operations in the 19.7—20.2 GHz band
           set forth in Article 22 of the ITU Radio Regulations, and thus will not cause harmful interference
          to any existing operations in the band." Audacy further states that it will comply with the
          applicable epfd limits in Table 22—2 of ITU Radio Regulations in the 29.5—30.0 GHz band.*
          Please provide a showing demonstrating the Audacy satellite system‘s compliance with the
          applicable epfd limits specified in Article 22 of the ITU Radio Regulations in these frequency
          bands.                       '

    2.    Please provide information regarding the accuracy—if any—with which the parameters of
          satellite orbits will be maintained, including apogee, perigee, inclination, and the right ascension
          of the ascending node(s)."

    3.    A statement and/or analysis with respect to the long—term stability or instability of post—mission
          storage orbits. Such analysis should address any measures, such as selection of orbital
          parameters, that may affect the long—term evolution of orbital parameters, with particular attention
          to addressing any such evolution that would result in thesatellites entering the geostationary
          protected region, i.e., the area defined by the geosynchronous altitude, plus or minus 200
          kilometers, and plus or minus 15 degrees from the equatorial plane, or the LEO protected region,
         . i.e., the area below 2000 km.




147 CFR § 25.111(a).
2 ITU Radio Regulations, Article 22.
3 Audacy Application at 52.
* Audacy Application at 58.
547 CFR § 25.114(d)(14)Gii).


          Audacy must file a letter providing this information by April 11, 2017. Failure to do so may
result in the dismissal of Audacy‘s application pursuant to Section 25.112(c) of the Commission‘s rules,
47 CFR § 25.112(c).

                                                 Sincerely,


                                              ~xgeeAlbwyugul
