Accordingly, Intelsat is authorized to operate the MARISAT satelite in the UHE Narrowband Channel A (307.750 MHz Center Frequency (uplink) and 254.150 MHz Center Frequency (downlink})and the UHF Narrowband Channel B (311.150 MHz Center Frequeney (uplink) and 257.550 MHz Center Frequeney (downlink)) (UHF bands") on a non—interference basis until May 30, 2006‘ in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in its application, this Attachment and the Federal Communications Commission‘s Rules. (1) Intelsat shall ensure that coordination ofits UHF band operations atthe 33.9° W.L. orbital location with existing satellites has been completed such that no unacceptable interference results from the operation of MARISAT at the 33.9° W.L. orbital location in the UHE bands. (2) While operating at the 33.9° W.L. orbital location in the UHF bands, no harmful interference shall be caused by the MARISAT satellite to any other lawfully operating satellites or radiocommunication systems. Operations ofthe MARISAT satellite in the UHE bands shall cease immediately upon notification of such interference and Intelsat shall inform the Commission in writing immediately of such an event. (3) While operating the MARISAT satellt in the UHF bands at t33.9° W.L. orbital Location, Intelsat is required to accept interference from other lawfully operating in—orbit satelites or other radiocommunication systems. ‘ Th Commission has previowly uthorizedIntlsatt operate the MARISAT—F2 saefteat 33.9° W.L erbitlloctionand to provide and L—band servie to the NatlonalScience Poundation.

The specific frequencies being requested are four 25—kHz channels centered on 307.750 MHz (Earth—to—space), 31 1.150 MHz (Earth—to—space), 254150 MH (space—to— Earth), and 257.550 MH* (space—to—Earth).. This requestis in support ofNATO through Paradigm Secure Communications. On April 8, 2005 the Commission informed National Telocommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) that this conditional liense will expire on May 30, 2006. INTELSAT has stated that these operations will be conducted on a non— interfering basis. Currently, these MARISAT UHF operations are being conducted under a Special Temporary Authority (STA) which is to expire on April 10, 2005." NTIA concurred to this STA after consultations with the Department of Defense (DoD)— * DoD has stated that they could support this INTELSAT request contingent on operating conditions that have been agreed with the INTELSAT customer for the STA. Coneerning these conditions, DoD has clarified to NTIA that the condition of NATO operating user terminals East of 20W when transmitting to the MARISAT satellte is imited to the frequency 307.75 MHz. With the understanding that the conditional lcense will be granted under the same terms of the existing STA, NTIA has no objection to the FCC authorizing the UHP operations sought by INTELSAT. However, NTIA retains the right to withdraw frequency authorization for this authorization, eifthe MARISAT capacity would be needed to meet US defense requirements. !
