                coverage requirements of 25.143(b)(2)
                (ii) and (iii), or 25.144(a)(3)(i), or 25.145
                (c)(1) and (2), or 25.146(i)(1) and (2),
                or 25.148(c), or 25.225 met?

                Are the applicable frequency                    Yes
                tolerances of 25.202(e) and out-of-
                band emission limits of 25.202(f)(1),(2),
                and (3) met?

                Are the cessation of emissions                  Yes
                requirements of 25.207 met?

                Are the applicable power-flux-density           Yes
                limits of 25.208 met, and is the
                appropriate technical showing provided
                within the application?

                For NGSO applications, are the                  N/A
                applicable equivalent-power-flux-
                density limits of 25.208 met, and is the
                appropriate technical showing provided
                within the application?

                requirements of 25.210 met?

                If the application is for a 17/24 GHz
                BSS space station, will it be operated
                at an offset location with full power and
                interference protection in accordance
                with 25.262(b)?
