April 5, 2010 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 Re: File No. SES-MOD-20070523-00709, Callsign KA249 Dear Ms. Dortch: Applicant Vizada, Inc. (Vizada) hereby withdraws its pending request for a temporary waiver of subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A) and 25.221 (a)(12)1 of the Commission’s Rules. In the above-referenced modification application, Vizada requested partial temporary waivers of three subsections of the ESV rules: subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A), 25.221 (a)(4) 2 and 25.221 (a)(12). Subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A) requires each C-Band ESV terminal to cease transmissions automatically if the angle between the orbital location of the target satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the antenna exceeds 0.5°. Subsection 25.221 (a)(4) requires ESV operators to record the location of each vessel carrying C-band ESV equipment at intervals no greater than every twenty minutes. 25.221 (a)(12) subsection requires ESV operators to automatically cease transmission if an ESV operates in violation of the terms of its coordination. Vizada reported that it was in full compliance with 25.221 (a)(4) and withdrew the request for the waiver of that subsection by its September 16, 2008 letter to the Commission. Vizada is now able to report that all ESVs receiving C-Band service via the Santa Paula teleport are also in compliance with subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A) and 25.221 (a)(12). Vizada is therefore withdrawing its request for temporary waiver of those subsections. Any questions with respect to this matter should be directed to James G. Lovelace at 301- 838-7909. Respectfully submitted, Robert W. Swanson Associate Counsel cc: Kathyrn Medley (via electronic delivery) 1 Formerly known as subsections 25.221 (a)(4) and 25.221 (f) in the original ESV regulations. The numbers were changed in the 2009 version of the regulations but the text and substance are unchanged. 2 Formerly known as subsection 25.221 (c)(1).
