          The Bocing Company (‘Bocing"), through its attomeys and pursuant to Section
  25.143(e)(3) of the Commission‘s rules,‘ hereby provides in the accompanying affidavit the
  required certification that it has satisfied the third milestone for its 2 GHz MSS license by
  beginning physical construction on its geosynchronous 2 GHz MSS satellite on or before July
  17, 204. The technical design of the satellite under construction reflects the authorization that
  the Commission issued to Bocing on June 24, 2003."

        On July 11, 2003, Bocing filed an application to modify the technical design of ts 2 GHz
  MSS spacceraft." Bocing also filed an amendment t its modification application on August 27,

2003 in which it requested authority to use additional spectrum for feeder links:*. On July 13,
2004, Bocing filed a second amendment to its application, which withdrew all of proposed
technical changes to the design of the spacecraft and most of the proposed operational and
terrestrial design changes to the network" As a result, the Commission‘s June 24, 2003 Order
reflectsthe identical spacecraft design that Bocing is using in the construction process.
        Nonctheless, Bocing has taken the precaution of requesting several waivers of the
Commission‘s rules that may be necessary to permit construction of the spacecraft that was
authorized by the Commission in its June 24, 2003 Order. These waivers include (1) a request
for waiver of Bocing‘s Critical Design Review (*CDR") milestone because the satellte design
used in the CDR process was different than the satellite design that was included in the
Commission‘s June 24, 2003 Order and was also different than the satellite design that Bocing is
using in the construction process and (2) a waiver of the Commission‘s policy that system
modifications requiring Commission authorization should be filed well in advance of the
licensee‘s CDR milestone, absent unusual circumstances. Bocing‘s request for waivers was
properly included in the amendment that Bocing filed on July 13, 2004.
       Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
