Accordingly, NTIA has requested cooperation from the Commission and non—Federal Government entities in providing assistance in reducing interference with the TRMM radar. Specifically, NTIA requests that FSS earth stations in the 13.793—13.805 GHz band located south of 39° N and east of 110° W operate with emission levels below —150 dBW/600 kHz at the TRMM space station receiver. Letter from Frederick R. Wentland, Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management, NTIA, to Donald Abelson, Chief, International Bureau, FCC (Feb. 28, 2002). Considering the secondary nature of the TRMM operation, NTIA‘s request is not a condition of this authorization. The Commission, however, urges all operators of earth stations accessing the Amazonas—1 space station in the 13.75— 14.0 GHz band to cooperate voluntarily with NASA to facilitate cooperate voluntarily with NASA to facilitate continued operation of the TRMM satellite. * Footnote US357 places a restriction on FSS earth station operations in order to protect government operations in the band, including manned space flight. 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357.
