Dear Ms. Buckley—Anderson:
On June 3, 2005, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation filed the above—captioned application
for authority to modify a C:Band‘ earth station. Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1)of the
Commission‘s rules, 47 C.FR. §25.112(a)(1), we dismiss this application as defective
because of intemal inconsistencies.
Specifically, in Form 312 Schedule B, you indicate that the Total Equivalent Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP) for All Carris is 43.4 dBW for Antenna ID 1 and 54.0 dBW for
Antenna ID 2 (Item E40). These values are inconsistent with the computed Total EIRP
for All Carriers derived from the "40 Watts Maximum Total Input Power at the Antenna
Flange (ltem E38)" and "41 and 42 dBi Antenna Gain Transmit (ltem E41)"for Antenna
TDs 1 and 2 which are 57 dBW and 58 dBW, respectively.
Moreover, i Item E49, you indicate that the Maximum EIRP Density per Carrier is
30 dBW/4 kHz. This value is less than and therefore inconsistent with the average value
of 52.93 dBW4 kHz as derived from the values indicated in your application for
Maximum EIRP per carrier of 54.0 dBW (Item E48) and 5.12 kHz bandwidth for the
K12G7W emission (ltem E47. Furthermore, the Maximum EIRP Density towards the
Horizon (Item B60) of 24.5 dBW/4 kHe and 30.0 dBW/4 kHz, is inconsistent with the
Maximum EIRP Density per Carier (ltem E49) considering the type of the antenna
specified in the application. Given these inconsistencies, we cannot determine the
proposed emission power.
In addition, you seek to add SATMEX—5 as a new Point of Communication for the earth
station.. We note that the antenna size of your earth station is 2.4 meters. This is smaller
than 4.5 meters required for routine licensing in the conventional C—Band. Thus, your
* 370041200 and 5025.6125 Miiz bands.


                                    Federal     Communications        Commission            ba051996

application must either include affidavits from operators ofall satelites located within 6
degrees of SATMEX—5 agreeing to your proposed operations or, alternatively, a 2 degree
compliance demonstration as specified in Section 25.209(f)" of the Commission‘s rules.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) ofthe Commission‘s rules, 47 C.FR.
§25.1 12(@)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority,
47 C.FR. §0.261, we dismiss your application without prejudice to refiling."



                                                         Sincerely,

                                                          D) A Hothe
