      MOTION TO DESIGNATE PROCEEDINGS AS "PERMIT—BUT—DISCLOSE"

       SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC ("SkyTerra") hereby requests that the Commission designate

the ex parte status of the above—captioned proceedings as "permit—but—disclose." Pursuant to the

Commuission‘s rules, "[where the public interest so requires in a particular proceeding, the

Commuission and its staff retain the discretion to modify the applicable ex parte rules by order,

letter, or public notice." 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a). The proceedings involve SkyTerra‘s

applications and associated waiver requests to implement a ground—breaking agreement that will

provide SkyTerra the flexibility it needs to deploy its licensed hybrid Mobile Satellite Service

("MSS") — Ancillary Terrestrial Component ("ATC") system. The proceedings raise policy

issues and involve complex technical analyses regarding the use of L—band spectrum, for which

the free exchange of views, particularly with Commission engineers, will be useful in creating a

more complete record. SkyTerra has informed all of the parties to this proceeding of its intent to

file this motion, and none of the parties stated that it had any objection. Further, changing the ex

parte status of this proceeding would be consistent with Commission action in analogous


proceedings involving MSS—ATC systems.‘ Based on the foregoing, SkyTerra respectfully

requests that the Commission designate the ex parte status of the above—captioned proceedings as

"permit—but—disclose."

                                                 Respectfully submitted,
