On December 21, 2005, the Satelite Division granted Mobile Satellite Ventures
Subsidiary LLC‘s requests to designate earth station applications that seek authority to
provide Mobile Satellite Services in the L—band with Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellite, o be
located at 52.75° W.L., as "permit—but—disclose" for purposes of the Commission‘s rules
governing ex parte communications. See Motion to Designate Proceeding as "Permit—
But—Disclose," filed by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary on December 8, 2005
(addressing SES—MFS—20051207—01709). We find that designating the carth station
applications as "permit—but—disclose" will faciltate resolution ofthe complex policy
issues raised by the applications. Thus, we designate IBFS File No. SES—MFS—
20051207—01709 as "permit—but—disclose," effective December 21, 2005. See 47 C.F.R.
§§ 1.1200(a), 1.1206 and 1.1208 note 2. This action is without prejudice to any
determination regarding the processing of the applications.
