1.        Pursuant to Sections 303(), 308, 309, and 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 US.C. §§ 303(), 308, 309, 310, and Sections 0261 and 25.137(c) of the
Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.261, 25.137(), the Pettion for Declaratory Ruling filed by
Space Communication Corporation(File No. SAT—PPL—20040805—00157) to Add the Superbird—
C suelite     ($2639) at 143.95° WL. to the Permited Space Sation List is GRANTED:
Accordingly each US—licensed earth station with "ALSAT® designated. as a point of
communication, 1 GRANTED authority to provide Fixed Satellite Services (FSS)in the 11.902—
11038 Gite (space—o—Rarth), 11.9895—12.0165 GHz (space—to—Rarth), 12.0095—12.0765 GHz
(space—to—Earth), 12.1095—12.1365 GHe (space—to—Earth), and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Barth—to—space)
frequency bands, to, rom, or within the United Sttes, by accessing the Superbird—C satelite at
the 14395° W.L. orbit location, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical
specifications set fortin is application, his Aftachment, and the Commission‘s Rules.
        a) Superbird—C is not authorized to provide any Directo—HHome (DTH) service, Direct
           BroadeastSatelite (DBS) service, or Dizital Audio Radio Service (DARS) tofrom,
           or within the United Sttes;
        b)   Communications between ALSAT—designated routine earth stations and the
             Superbird—C satelite shall bin compliance with the satelte coordination
             agreements reached between Japan and other adininisttions; and
        ) Superbird.C is not authorized to provide downlink services         into the United States and
          its Possessions in the 12.2—12.75 GHz frequency band.
2.       We GRANT Space Communications Corporation‘s request for waiver of the fulls
frequency reuse requirements contained in Section 25.210() of the Commission‘s rule to permit
Superbird:C to transmit to Haswaii without employing fill frequency reuse in the downlink band
from 11.92 — 12.123 GHtz. In its application, Space Communications Corporation states thatthe
Superbird—C Kucband satelite‘s Hawaibeam consists of four channels that are horizontally
polarized and separated in frequency. Space Communications Corporation furtherstates that due
to the desizn of the satelfte, it is not possible to use all of the vertical and horizontalchannels on
the Hawaii Beam and, athe same time, provide suffcient capacity and power for the Japan and
Asia beams._ Although Superbird:C docs not fully conform to the standard set forth in Section
25210(of the Commission‘s Rules, we auree with Space Communications Corporation‘s
assertions that filure to meet the fulfrequency reuse requirements will not waste the unused
spectrum because there are no adjacent satelftes that could use this spectrum.. Grant of the
waiver will serve the public interest by increasing competition in the Hawaii market and
providing backup for critical services. Furthermore,the Commission has waived this requirement
where doing so would allow satelite capacity that would otherwise lay dormant to be used to
provideservice
3.      This action is taken pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.FR. § 0.261, and is effective upon adoption. Pettions for reconsideration under
Sections 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47
