Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 International Bureau September 27, 2005 Mr. Otis B. Brown Dean, Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences University of Miami ; 4600 Rickenbacker Cswy. Miami, FL 33149—1098 | | — Re: Call Sign: E040248 File No. SES—LIC—20050627—00829 Dear Mr. Brown: On June 27, 2005, the University of Miami — Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences (University of Miami) filed the above—captioned application for a receive—only earth station in the 8085—8235 MHz band. The application requests protection from interference from other users operating in this band. Pursuant to Section 25.111(a) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.111(a), we request that you provideadditional technical information needed to complete our review of your application. Your application lists the TERRA and AQUA satellites as points of communication. Both of these satellites are operated by the National Aeronautics and Space ‘Administration (NASA) under authorization from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). We note that nothing in the Commission‘s rules requires earth station operators seeking Commission authority to communicate with a _ U.S. Government satellite to provide technical information regarding the satellite. However, without that information, we cannot determine whether your proposed . operations are likely to cause harmful interference to any other Commission—licensed operations. Since neither of the NASA satellites at issue here is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, and we have not previously authorized any earth station to communicate with these satellites, we have no technical information before us regarding TERRA or AQUA. Therefore, in order to continue processing this application, we request you amend your application to include the following in regard to TERRA and AQUA: (1) All the information specified in Section 25.114(d) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d).

(2) A Schedule S, as required by Section 25.114(:{1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.FR. § 25.114(a). _ The University of Miami is required to respond to this letter, by amendment to the subject application, not later than 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of your application, pursuant Section 25.112(c) of the Commission‘s Rules. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(c). Sincerely, Aes}A Pothec Scott A. Kotler Chief, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division
