                        PETITION FOR DECLARATORY RULING

       Pursuant to Section 25.137(d) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.137(d) and the

Commission’s order establishing the ISAT List, 1 Inmarsat plc (“Inmarsat”) seeks to modify the

ISAT List to specify the location of the Inmarsat-4 F3 satellite (“I4F3”) to be 98.0º W.L. I4F3

currently is identified in the ISAT List as being located at the nominal 98º W.L. location, with an

offset to 97.65º W.L. to avoid overlapping the station-keeping volume of the Inmarsat-2 F2

spacecraft that was previously located at 98.0º W.L. 2

       I4F3 originally was placed on the ISAT List to reflect the grant of authority for earth

stations KA25 and E080059 to communicate with that spacecraft. Inmarsat currently has

applications pending to modify the authorizations for those earth stations to reflect the operation

of I4F3 at 98º W.L. with no station-keeping offset, as well as related requests for STA. Inmarsat

respectfully requests that the ISAT List maintained by the Commission with respect to

Inmarsat’s L band satellite operations (1525-1559 MHz, 1626.5-1660.5 MHz) be updated upon

the grant of those earth station applications. Grant of this Petition for Declaratory Ruling would
