- Airbus DS SatCom Government, Inc. (ASGI) respectfully seeks modification of the KA313 license to convert the license from a Common Carrier Authorization to a Non-Carrier Authorization. ASGI also requests update of the Particulars of Operation and Antenna Facilities Specifications for the Sea Tel Model 4006 1.0 Meter Ku-band Earth Station on Vessel (ESV) antennas currently authorized for use to provide ESV service per the KA313 license. It is requested this be accomplished by 1)completely deleting from the current version of the KA313 license all information listed for the 4006 (see exhibit 1 for further details, noting that the 4006 is the only KA313 antenna for which any deletions are to be made); 2)combining the 4006 with the 4009 and 4010 versions of this same Sea Tel 1.0 meter antenna for purposes of the KA313 authorization for this antenna; and then 3)adding the Particulars of Operations, Antenna Facilities Specifications and other information for the 4006/4009/4010 antennas to the license as per the information set forth for these antennas in the Schedule B. Finally, ASGI is requesting that authorizations for up to 500 of each of the following ESV remote antennas be added to the KA313 ESV authorization - Intellian Model v60G 0.60 Meter Ku-band Antennas; Intellian Model v80G 0.83 Meter Ku-band Antennas; Intellian Model v240Ku 2.4 Meter Ku-band Antennas; Sea Tel Model 3612 0.90 Meter Ku-band Antennas; Sea Tel Model 4009/4010 1.0 Meter Ku-band Antennas (to be combined as explained above with the 4006); Sea Tel Model 4012 1.06 Meter Ku-band Antennas; Sea Tel Model 5009/5010/5012 1.2 Meter Ku-band Antennas; and Sea Tel Model 9797/9711 2.4 Meter Ku-band Antennas. As is explained in more detail in Exhibit 1, AGSI is not attaching with this application the charts and tables which would otherwise be submitted to show compliance with Sections 25.221 (a) (1) & (b) (1). Rather, it is referencing in Exhibit 1 the application file number associated with the prior approval of each antenna and respectfully requests that the Commission's staff rely upon the prior application materials in processing this instant application. Otherwise, all exhibits required by Section 25.222 are included as attachments to the application and ASGI's showing of compliance with Part 25 of the Commission's rules is set forth in Exhibit 1.
