Dortch Secrctary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: File No. SAT—MOD—20050301—00054, Globalstar Ancillary Terrestral Component (*ATC®) Application Dear Ms. Dortch: On May 25, 2005, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") submitted a leter in this proceeding ("May 25 Letter®) to the Intemational Bureau (‘1B") requesting that the Commission impose more stringent out—of—band limits on emissions from Globalstar‘s ATC terminals into the Radionavigation Satellite Service ("RNSS®) band at 1559 — 1610 MHz than the Commission‘s rules currently require." NTIA‘s specific proposalis presented in Table 1, attached. NTIAs arguments in its May 25 Letter are essentially similar to those that it made in the ATC Rulemaking Proceeding in which the Commission declined to adopt NTIA‘s request for more stringent emission limits for ATC terminals in any ofthe three MSS bands" Recognizing the importance of providing the maximum feasible protection for the U.S. Global Positioning System ("GPS")," in early—August® Globalstar entered into discussions to that end with NTIA,i its capacity as Chair ofthe Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee (‘IRAC"). After thorough investigation, analysis and testing, in mid—September Globalstar advised NTIA that, notwithstanding the existing FCC rules govering emission limits, Globalstar would voluntarily implement more stringent emission limits in its ATC terminals. Specifically, Globalstar committed to build its ATC terminals t satisfy the protection level requested by NTIA for GPS, ce, —90 dBW/MHz below 1590 MH immediately and —100 dBW/MHz below 1590 MHz by 2012." n the RNSS band segment immediately adjacent to Globalstar‘s ATC band assignment, Globalstar proposed a somewhat higher emission limit of —20 to —75 dBW/MHz Iseer on paszsim(0 *Fledilyfor Delvr fConmaicaionby Mable Suelit Senice Proiers in the 2 t and,th L—Ront ond h 1624 Glt nds Repor and Oand Note f repore ulenating, FCC 0318 t Fenany 1020031 179184 & 197200; Menerandam Opinion inOrde an ezond Order on Resonsideaton,FOG 0330 i.

between 1610 and 1605 MHz determined by linear interpolation.. Although this emission limit would fully protect GPS,it appears that one or more ofthe IRAC members is unwilling to accede to t Globalstar‘s abilty to fulfll ts business and financial objectives for the next several years is contingent, in par, on obtaining ATC authority." Globalstar believes that it has cartied its burden of demonstrating that the public interest, convenience and necessity require expeditious grant ofits ATC application as filed. Globalstar will continue its dialog with IRAC through NTIA in an effort to reach a more suitable agreement on emission limits; however, at this ime Globalstar cannot afford any further delay of its ATC application." Accordingly, Globalstar will commit to meet the emission limits for 1610 — 1605 MHz in Table 1. Mecting these limits may require Globalstar to fund new technology development for its ATC phone, or to reduce power in itslowest ATC channel (1610—1611.25 MHz for a CDMA channe" Globalstar consents to inclusion of the emission limits in Table 1 as a condition upon Globalstar‘s ATC authorization. Because these emission limits are notin the Commission‘s rules and can only be incorporated therein following a rulemaking proceeding, Globalstar requests that the Commission stipulate that the condition on Globalstar‘s ATC authorization is subject to modification upon completion of any fature rulemaking proceeding," or upon any future Globalstar agreement with NTIA and TRAC members that may permit an increase in the acceptable emission limits.
