Exhibit B – Statement re FAA Notification Exemption This statement and Exhibit are submitted as part of Media Networks Services USA Inc.’s (“MNLA”) FCC Form 312 Application for Satellite Space and Earth Station Authorization pursuant to Part 25.113(c) of the Commission’s Rules, which requires applicants to submit a statement explaining why notification to the Federal Aviation Administration is not required per Part 17, unless the reason notification is not required is obvious. In sum, MNLA’s proposed satellite earth station antenna does not require FAA notification pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 17 (“Part 17”) because the antenna measures 11 meters high, is not located in the proximity of an airport and does not involve construction or alternation on an existing airport or heliport. Part 17.7 lists several criteria that, if met, require notification to the FAA in connection with the construction or alteration of an antenna. However, MNLA’s proposed Laredo, Texas earth satellite station antenna does not meet any of the notification criteria. MNLA’s proposed antenna measures 11 meters high and therefore does not meet the standard of 60.96 meters listed in Part 17.7(a). MNLA’s proposed antenna does not require notification under Part 17.7(b) because it is not located in the proximity of an airport runway. The farthest distance potentially requiring notification under Part 17.7(b) is 6.10 kilometers, see Part 17.7(b)(1), whereas MNLA’s proposed earth satellite station is located more than 10 miles (16.093 kilometers) from the nearest airport. Finally, notification is not required under Part 17.7(d) because MNLA’s earth station and antenna do not involve construction or alternations on an airport or heliport.1 For the reasons stated herein, MNLA is not required to notify the FAA of its proposed earth satellite station or antenna under Part 17, nor Part 25.113(c). 1 Notification is not required under Part 17.7(c), because, even if applicable, which it is not, such notification is only necessary “When requested by the FAA.” Exhibit B, Page 1 of 1
