Emission designator indicates the maximum bandwidth of received signal at associated station(s). Maximum EIRP and maximum EIRP density are not applicable to receive operations. 2300 ——— Authority is granted to operate this station by remote control provided that: (1)the parameters of the transmissions of this station monitored at the remote control point, and the operational functions sufficient to ensure that the operations of this station are in full compliance with the station authorization at all times; (2) upon detection by the grantee, or upon notification from the Commission, of a deviation of the operation of this station, transmissions shall be immediately suspended until the deviation is corrected, except that transmissions concerning the immediate safety of life or property may be conducted for the duration of such emergency; and (3) the grantee shall have available, at all times, the technical personnel necessary to perform the technical servicing and maintenance of this station expeditiously. See also Public Notice "The International Bureau Provides Guidance Concerning the Relocation of Earth Station Remote Control Points", DA 06—978 (rel. May 4, 2006). 2916 ——— Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station‘s power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines. 2938 ——— Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the following information: (1) name of the licensee, (2) file number of the application, (3) call sign of the antenna, (4) date of the license, (5) certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, (6) certification that each antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209, and (7) certification that the station is operational (including the date of commencement of service) and will remain operational during the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation. 3941 ——— The antenna structure authorized herein must not pose or cause hazard(s) to Aviation Traffic. See Part 17, FCC Rules and Regulations. ( page 3 of 5) FCC Form 488

Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling, or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION Name: National Public Radio Call Sign: E160049 Authorization Type: License File Number: SES—LIC—20160325—00272 Non Common Carrier Grant date:—05/03/2016 Expiration Date: 05/03/2031 B) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the additional conditions specified below: This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the statements contained in the application are true and that the undertakings described will be carried out in good faith. This authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of marking or lighting of the antennasystem should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to install such marking or lighting as the Commission mayrequire under the provisions ofSection 303(q) ofthe Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. §303(q). Neither this authorization nor the right granted by this authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to any person, firm, company or corporation without the written consent of the Commission. This authorization is subject to the right of use or control by the government ofthe United States conferred by Section 706 of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 706. Operation of this station is governed by Part 25 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. Part 25. This authorization shall not vest in the licensee any right to operate this station nor any right in the use of the designated frequencies beyond the term ofthis license, nor in any other manner than authorized herein. This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the stationis in compliance with environmental requirements set forth in Section 1.1307 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307. This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as set forth in Section 17.4 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R.§ 17.4. The following condition applies when this authorization permits construction of or modifies the construction permit ofa radio station. This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station is not ready for operation by the required date of completion of construction unless an application for modification of authorization to request additional time to complete construction is filed by that date, together with a showing that failure to complete construction by the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee. Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to collect annualregulatory fees from regulatees is contained in Public Law 103—66, "The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. (page 5 of 5) FCC Form 488
