Non-Compliant Antenna Statement

Re: 2.4 Meter Fixed Earth Station
Fixed Satellite Service
C-Band: 3700 – 4200 MHz and 5925.0 – 6425.0 MHz


Anadarko Petroleum Corporation ("APC" or "Applicant") proposes to use a Sea Tel 9797, 2.4 meter
antenna for its proposed earth station located in Lucius Spar, GOM at the coordinates of 26°07'54.821"N,
92°02'25.07" W. The Sea Tel 9797 does not strictly comply with 25.209 of the FCC Rules and
Regulations.

Pursuant to the Part 25 Earth Station Fifth Report and Order, the International Bureau (Bureau) provides
a List of Approved Non‐Routine Earth Station Antennas. Specifically the website
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sd/nresa lists non‐routine earth station antennas licensed for use by one or more
U.S. earth station operators since March 15, 2005.

“The Commission has ruled that an Earth station applicant proposing to use an antenna on this list may
no longer be required to attach antenna radiation plots as an exhibit to their applications, as required by
Section 25.132 (b)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.132 (b)(3). Rather, they need only to
provide an attachment to their applications citing the particular non‐routine earth station antenna they
plan to use, and an application file number and call sign of a license in which that type of non‐routine
antenna has been previously approved.”

Accordingly, APC submits the application file number and call sign, File No. SES-LIC-20070216-
00237 (Call Sign: E070030), of a previously licensed SeaTel 9797, 2.4 meter earth station which was
licensed by the Commission for operation at 30.6dBW/4KHz maximum eirp density. The antenna that
APC intends to license will operate at 18.8dBW/4KHz maximum eirp density which is significantly lower
than the cited application. Therefore, the APC antenna will operate without conflict.

The applicant agrees to accept any adjacent satellite interference in the 4 GHz receive band as a result of
the performance of the antenna. The applicant understands that adjacent satellite interference protection
applies only to the extent of the criteria set forth in §25.209. Should the use of this antenna cause
interference to other systems; the applicant agrees to terminate transmission upon notice from the
Commission.
