H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION             AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
     1900 ——— Applicable to all transmitting frequency bands. Authority is granted to transmit any number of RF carriers with
              the specified parameters on any discrete frequencies within associated band in accordance with the other terms
              and conditions of this authorization, subject to any additional limitations that may be required to avoid
              unacceptable levels of inter—satellite interference.
     2010 ——— This authorization is issued pursuant to the Commission‘s Second Report and Order adopted June 16, 1972 (35
              FCC 2d $44) and Memorandum, Opinion and Order adopted December 21, 1972 (38 FCC 2d 665) in Docket No.
              16495 and is subject to the policies adopted in that proceeding.
     2300 ——— Authority is granted to operate this station by remote control provided that: (1)the parameters of the transmissions
             of this station monitored at the remote control point, and the operational functions sufficient to ensure that the
             operations of this station are in full compliance with the station authorization at all times; (2) upon detection by
             the grantee, or upon notification from the Commission, of a deviation of the operation of this station,
             transmissions shall be immediately suspended until the deviation is corrected, except that transmissions
             concerning the immediate safety of life or property may be conducted for the duration of such emergency; and (3)
             the grantee shall have available, at all times, the technical personnel necessary to perform the technical servicing
              and maintenance of this station expeditiously. See also Public Notice "The International Bureau Provides
              Guidance Concerning the Relocation of Earth Station Remote Control Points", DA 06—978 (rel. May 4, 2006).
     2916 ——— Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety
             guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the
             reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station‘s
             power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines.
     2938 ——— Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the
             following information: (1) name of the licensee, (2) file number of the application, (3) call sign of the antenna, (4)
             date of the license, (5) certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, (6) certification that each
             antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209, and (7) certification
             that the station is operational (including the date of commencement of service) and will remain operational during
             the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation.
     3219 ——— All existing transmitting facilities, operations and devices regulated by the Commission must be in compliance
              with the Commission‘s radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines, pursuant to Section 1.1307(b)(1) through (b)(3)
              of the Commission‘s rules, or if not in compliance, file an Environmental Assessment (EA) as specified in Section
              1.1311. See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).
     5208 ——— The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of
              humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and
              1.1310 wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both
              occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule
             sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing.
             Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling, or by field
             measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information
             on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting
             signs and protective equipment for workers.

              requirements set forth in Section 1.1307 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307.

              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliance with the Federal
              Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as set forth in Section 17.4 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R.§
              17.4.

              The following condition applies when this authorization permits construction of or modifies the construction
              permit of a radio station.

              This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station does not meet each required construction
              deadline by the required date of completion unless, before such date(s), a specific application is timely filed to
              request an extension of the construction deadline(s), supported with good cause why that failure to construct by
             the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee.

              Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to
              collect annual regulatory fees from regulatees is contained in Public Law 103—66, "The Omnibus Budget
              Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used
              to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and
              rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory
              fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees.
