Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 10—1784 September 20, 2010 Mr. Shane A. Godmere Michigan Technological University 1400 Townsend Dr. Houghton, MI 49931 Re: Call Sign: E900042 File No.: SES—MOD—20091116—01457 Dear Mr. Godmere: On November 16, 2009, Michigan Technological University (MTU) filed the above— captioned application to modify its exiting license for its fixed—satellite service (FSS) earth station, call sign E9000042. MTU seeks to discontinue uplink operations in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band and to register the station as a receive—only earth station receiving downlink transmissions in the 11.7—12.2 GHz band. For the reasons stated below, we dismiss the application. The Commission does not license or register receive—only FSS stations operating in the 11.7—12.2 GHz frequency band.‘ Because FSS is the only primary allocation in this band, FSS operations, like those proposed by MTU, are protected against interference from the operations of any other communications service. Thus, licensing or registering MTU as it proposes is unnecessary. ‘ See Deregulation ofDomestic Receive—Only Satellite Earth Stations, Second Report and Order, CC Docket NO. 78—374, 104 FCC 2"" 348(1986) at para. 12.

Federal Communications Commission DA 10—1784 Consequently, we dismiss the modification application as unnecessary. Further because MTU indicates in its application that it has terminated uplink operations from this earth station and are operating the earth station as a receive—only station, we cancel the license as of the date of this letter. Sincerely, owllfetls thyrn Medley Chief, Satellite Engineering Branch Satellite Division International Bureau
