                                                       File No. SES-MOD-20080407-00429

Dear Mr. Reed:

On April 7, 2008, WPXI, Inc. (WPXI) filed the above-captioned modification application to
modify its transmit-only temporary-fixed Ku-band’ earth station license to replace an antenna and
modify emission parameters. For the reason discussed below, we dismiss the application as
defective, without prejudice to refiling.

Section 25.1 12 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. tj 25.1 12, requires the Commission to
return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete,
contains internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission’s rules.
WPXI’s application is incomplete, which renders it unacceptable and subject to dismissal. The
deficiency is as follows:

Question 28 of Form 3 12 indicates that a radiation hazard study must accompany as an exhibit all
applications seeking major modifications such as the one proposed.2 However, WPXI’s
application did not include this required exhibit.




’   14.0-14.5 GHz.

    See 47 C.F.R. 5 1.1307(b).


                                      Federal Communications Commission                          DA 08-943



Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R.
$25.1 12(a)(l), and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47
C.F.R. $0.261, we dismiss WPXI’s application, without prejudice to refiling3


                                                       Sincerely ,



                                                       Scott A. Kotler
                                                       Chief, Systems Analysis Branch
                                                       Satellite Division
                                                       International Bureau




’   If WPXI refiles an application in which the deficiency identified in this letter has been corrected but is
otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. 5 1.1 109(d).



                                                       2
