61330 CE American Communications, iInc. Four Research Way Princeton, NJ 08540—6684 Attention : ¥. NHeil Bauer Reference: Modification of Domestic Fixed—Satellite Space Station — Authorization to FPermit Noncommon Carrier Transponder Sales on Satcom I—R (File Ho. 17—PSS—ML—90) Dear Mr. Bauer: This is in regard to GE American Communications, Inc.‘s (GE Americonm‘s) above—referenced application for authority to sell transponders on its Satcom I—R C—band satellite on a noncommon carrier basis. This satellite was launched in April 1983 and is equipped with 24 transponders, each with a bandwidth of 36 MHz. You statses that Satcom I—R is currently primarily used to provide video services on a tariffed common carrier basis to cable television programmers, particulariy regional sports networks. You assert that these customaers have indicated to CE Americom that they require more customized, flexible service arrangements than can be provided under tariff. GE Americon therefore requests authority to offer up to all 24 transponders on Satcom I—R& on a noncommon carrier basis. You state, however, that GB Americomn will continue to offer tariffed common carrier service on Satcom I—R to its current customers who wish to continue to receive this service, No comments or oppositions were filed with respect to the application. GE Americonm‘s request is granted. Based on GE Americon‘s representations, the proposed transponder transactions are found to be nonc ommon carrier in nature and are otherwise consistent with the Commission‘s transponder sales policies. See Domestic Fixed—Satellite Service Transponder Sales, 90 FCC 24 1238 (1982), aff‘d sub nom., Wold Communications, Inc. yv,. FCC, 735 F.24 1564 (D.C. Cir. 1984). See also Martin Marietta_ Communications Systems, Inc., PCC 86—232 (June 109, 1986).

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 0.291 of the Commission‘s rules on delsgations of authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.291, Application File No. 17—DSS—ML—90 is granfted and GE American Communicatious, Inc. is authorized to offer up to 24 transponders on its Satcom I—R satellite on a noncommon carrier basis.
