Marlere Donch, April2, 2006 Page2 For exparte purposes, this modification application proceeding is a "restrited" proceeding under Section 1.1208;‘ The Commission, however, has the authority to modify the ex parte status of a proceeding "[Jhere the public interest so requires."" Grant of this request will serve the public interest by facilitating communications with Commission staff to address complex technical, legal, and policy issues raised in these proceedings. The Commission routinely has redesignated the exparte status ofa proceeding as "permit—but—disclose" where complex technical, legal, and policy issues are raised." In fact, the Commission previously granted a similar request by ICO to redesignate as "permit—but—disclose" a related application to modify its 2 GHz mobile satellte service to substitute a geostationary satellite orbit system for a nongeostationary satellte orbit system." Accordingly, ICO urges the Commission to grant this request expeditiously.
