Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 13—104 January 25, 2013 Ms. Carolyn Blasko Sure Shot Transmissions, Inc. P.O. Box 489 10314 Main Street New Middletown, OH 44442—0489 Call Sign: E940167 File No.: SES—MOD—20120912—00810 SES—AMD—20130104—00004 Dear Ms. Blasko: On September 12, 2012, Sure Shot Transmissions, Inc. (Sure Shot) filed the above—captioned applications to modify its current license for a Temporary—Fixed earth station. For the reasons explained below, we dismiss the application without prejudice to refiling.‘ Section 25.112(a) of the Commission‘s rules requires the Commission to return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete, contains internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission‘s rules." Sure Shot‘s application does not comply with the Commission‘s rules, which renders it unacceptable and subject to dismissal. The amendment to Sure Shot‘s modification application, SES—AMD—20130104—00004, incorrectly calculates power levels. Sure Shot lists, in Schedule B of the amendment, for emission designator 36MOFIW (E47), the maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) as 78.0 dBW (E48) and the maximum EIRP density per carrier as 46.01 dBW/4kHz (B49). Based on a total input power at the antenna flange of 400 W (E38) and a transmit antenna gain of 45.5 dBi (E41), our calculations indicate that the maximum EIRP of emission designator 36MOFIW should be 71.52 dBW, and the maximum EIRP density per carrier should be 31.98 dBW/4kHz. In addition, although Sure Shot‘s current authorization for a 3.7—meter antenna includes ALSAT authority, Sure Shot must comply with current rules and policies when replacing the antenna. Current rules and policies stipulate that earth stations may be granted ALSAT as a point of ‘\ If Sure Shot Transmission, Inc. refiles an application identical to the portion dismissed, with the exception of supplying the corrected information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1111(d). 247 CER. § 25.112(a).

Federal Communications Commission DA 13—104 communication only in cases where the earth station is eligible for routine processing." Routine processing under Sections 25.212(c) and 25.211 (d)(2) of the Commission‘s rules for earth stations in the 14.0—14.5 GHz frequency band requires that the maximum input power density into the antenna be no greater than —14.0 dBW/4kHz for narrowband analog transmissions, narrowband and wideband digital transmissions, and video transmissions, and that the maximum input power into the antenna be no greater than 27 dBW for analog video transmissions." The antenna input power and transmit EIRP values in Sure Shot‘s application exceeds these values. Furthermore, when the input power density level exceeds —14.0 dBW/4kHz, Section 25.211(f) of the Commission‘s rules requires applicants to comply with the procedures set forth in Section 25.220." Those procedures require a demonstration that the earth station complies with the off—axis EIRP density envelopes specified in Section 25.218(d). Applicants must demonstrate such compliance by submitting tables, as defined in Section 25.115(h)(1—4), that show the off—axis EIRP.° Sure Shot‘s application does not comply with the routine licensing rules for ALSAT authority and fails to provide the off—axis—EIRP tables necessary to demonstrate compliance with Section 25.220. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegation of authority, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1) and 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, we dismiss Sure Shot‘s applications without prejudice to refiling. Although not a grounds for dismissal, we also note that Sure Shot did not list modulation and services descriptions in Schedule B (E50) for the emission designator 36MOFIW. Sure Shot must provide such information, if it chooses to refile.
