H) Special and General Provisions
   A) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      conditions:
     1900 --- Applicable to all transmitting frequency bands. Authority is granted to transmit any number of RF carriers with
              the specified parameters on any discrete frequencies within associated band in accordance with the other terms
              and conditions of this authorization, subject to any additional limitations that may be required to avoid stub
              unacceptable levels of inter-satellite interference.
     2010 --- This authorization is issued pursuant to the Commission's Second Report and Order adopted June 16, 1972 (35
              FCC 2d 844) and Memorandum, Opinion and Order adopted December 21, 1972 (38 FCC 2d 665) in Docket No.
              16495 and is subject to the policies adopted in that proceeding.                                            stub
     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 stub
              power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines.
     3219 --- All existing transmitting facilities, operations and devices regulated by the Commission must be in compliance
              with the Commission's radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines, pursuant to Section 1.1307(b)(1) through (b)(3)
              of the Commission's rules, or if not in compliance, file an Environmental Assessment (EA) as specified in Section stub
              1.1311. See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).
    90053 --- The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of
              humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR §§ 1.1307(b) and
              1.1310 wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both stub
              occupational controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule
              sections. 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.fcc.gov/oetlrfsafety) 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. The licensee shall ensure installation of terminals on
              aircraft by qualified installers who have an understanding of the antenna's radiation environment and the measures
              best suited to maximize protection of the general public and persons operating the aircraft and equipment. A
              terminal exhibiting radiation exposure levels exceeding 1.0 mW/cm² in accessible areas, such as at the exterior
              surface of the radome, shall have a label attached to the surface of the terminal warning about the radiation hazard
              and shall include thereon a diagram showing the regions around the terminal where the radiation levels could
              exceed 1.0 mW/cm².
    90057 --- Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of the licensee's coordination
              agreements with the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
              pertaining to operation of aircraft earth stations in the Ku-Band.                                                stub
    90061 --- When operating in international airspace within line-of-sight of the territory of a foreign administration where
              Fixed Service networks have a primary allocation in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band, an aircraft earth station must not
              produce ground-level power flux density (pfd) in such territory in excess of the following values unless the stub
              foreign administration has imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: -132 + 0.5 x THETA
              dB(W/(m^2 MHz)) for THETA <= 40° ; -112 dB(W/(m^2 MHz)) for 40° < THETA <= 90°. Where: THETA is
              the angle of arrival of the radio-frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits
              relate to the pfd and angles of arrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions.

              in 2009. Applicant states that due to its design, Eutelsat 10A's two helium tanks were sealed immediately
              following the last orbit-raising maneuver during the launch phase for the satellite and cannot be further
              discharged. Applicant states that the sealed helium tanks will retain a total mass of approximately 0.9 kg of
              helium in each tank at end of life, with each tank volume being 90 liters. Compliance with Section 25.283(c) is
              not achievable except through direct retrieval of spacecraft. The information submitted is not sufficient to
              support a finding that the underlying purpose of Section 25.283(c) would be served by sealing the helium tanks
              without completely venting them. However, we grant a partial waiver of the rule because undue hardship would
              result from requiring modification of the space station at this time.

   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 antenna system should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to
              install such marking or lighting as the Commission may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) of the
              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 of the 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 of this license, nor in any other manner than authorized herein.

              This authorization is issued on the grantee's representation that the station is 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 of a 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 annual regulatory 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.
