Tern B. Natoli GTE Spacenet Regulatory and Industry Relations Manager Corporation August 6, 1991 Ms. Cecily C. Holiday F09 s Chief, Satellite Radio Branch ’ s Federal Communications Commission 6 2025 M Street, N.W., Room 6324 Washington, DC 20554 Re: Name Change of ASC—2 Satellite (SPACENET IV) "are,,, File No.: 34—DSS—ML—90 T tm Dear Ms. Holiday: Pursuant to a telephone conversation I had recently with Oleg Efremov of your staff I learned that the FCC had some concern regarding GTE Spacenet‘s plans to change the name of the ASC—2 satellite to SPACENET IV. This concern stems from the fact that in 1985 the FCC authorized GTE Spacenet to construct and launch a "SPACENET IV" satellite‘. As you will recall, however, the SPACENET satellite which was previously authorized as "SPACENET IV" was used to replace the third SPACENET satellite which was involved in a launch faw]ure in September 1985 and upon successful launch was designated SPACENET III®. As a result, GTE Spacenet has not since referred to that satellite as SPACENET IV and did not realize that designating ASC—2 as SPACENET IV would give rise to concern. I understand however, that the FCC still maintains files on the previous "SPACENET IV" and that is where the concern arises. In order to avoid any confusion at the FCC as a result of the name change of the ASC—2 satellite, GTE Spacenet will refer to that satellite in any future correspondence with the Commission as "SPACENET IV—n". This should distinguish it from the previously authorized "SPACENET IV" satellite. I hope this modification will meet with your approval and alleviate any concern. Please contact me at (703) 848—1515 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Sianuk Matoté Terri B. Natoli cc: Kathleen Campbel1 Oleg Efremov Fern J.
