                            Re:     Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                                    File No. 681—DSE—MP/L—95

   Dear Ms. Roman Salas:

           AMSC Subsidiary Corporation ("AMSC"), respectfully requests that the
   Commission extend its special temporary authority ("STA") to operate 10,000 half—
   duplex mobile earth terminals ("METs") with a transmit bandwidth of 20 kHz under its
   above—captioned blanket license for mobile data terminals for an additional 180 days.
   The Commission granted the original STA on February 12, 1999 and it has since been
   extended through February 12, 2000. Grant of this extension request will allow operation
   of these terminals until August 12, 2000.

           AMSC‘s existing half—duplex terminals have a transmit bandwidth of 5 kHz,
   consistent with its underlying authorization. The MET‘s that are the subject of this
   request are manufactured by Vistar Telecommunications, Inc. ("Vistar"). Because of the
   nature of Vistar‘s traffic and the efficient design of the service, the Vistar terminals use
   very little spectrum; up to 50,000 Vistar terminals can operate on a single 20 kHz
   transmit channel and 5 kHz receive channel. Grant of this STA extension request is in
   the public interest, as these spectrum—efficient Vistar terminals will be used to transmit
   alarm and positional data, and other low—data—volume traffic from mobile units such as
   trucks, trailers, freight cars, and similar vehicles.

           The additional terminals will otherwise operate within the parameters of AMSC‘s
   existing authorization. The level of out—of—band and spurious emissions from these
   terminals conforms to Section 25.202(f) of the Commission‘s rules and to the
   Memorandum of Understanding among the FCC, NTIA, and the FAA, thus providing
   sufficient protection to GPS and Glonass. These terminals also comply with the
   Commission‘s proposed limits on out—of—band emissions from terminals operating in the
                                                                      10802 PARKRIDGE BOULEVARD            703 758 6000

MSS L—band. Specifically, the Vistar terminals satisfy the Commission‘s proposed out—
of—band emissions limit of —70 dBW/MHZ averaged over any 20 ms period for wide band
emissions occurring between 1559—1605 MHZ and —80 dBW/700 Hz for narrow band
emissions occurring between 1559—1605 MHZ, over a measurement bandwidth of 700
Hz. See Amendment of Parts 2 and 25 to Implement the Global Mobile Personal
Communications by Satellite (GMPCS) Memorandum of Understanding and
Arrangements, Notice ofProposed Rulemaking, IB Docket No. 99—67, RM No. 9165 (rel.
March 5, 1999).

        A check in the amount of $135.00, payable to the Federal Communications
Commission, is enclosed to cover the requisite filing fee. AMSC hereby certifies that no
party to this application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301
of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §853(a).

       Please address any questions concerning this matter to the undersigned.
