         Re:      Modification Applications of Globalstar Licensee LLC,

Dear Ms. Dortch:

         On April 11, 2017, Globalstar Licensee LLC, GUSA Licensee LLC, and GCL Licensee
LLC (collectively, “Globalstar”)1 submitted companion applications with the International
Bureau for minor modification of their licenses, in order to implement Globalstar’s planned
terrestrial wireless broadband operations.2 As described in the Applications, Globalstar’s
terrestrial systems will use its licensed Big LEO Mobile Satellite Service (“MSS”) spectrum at
2483.5-2495 MHz.

       In the Applications, Globalstar provided numerous certifications regarding compliance
with Part 25 of the Commission’s rules. Globalstar hereby supplements these filings with one
additional certification, which is attached to this letter. Specifically, consistent with Section
25.117(c) of the Commission’s rules, Globalstar certifies in the attached Exhibit B that, beyond

earth station gateways located in the continental United States and Alaska and a blanket license
for the operation of Globalstar mobile earth station terminals in the United States, and is
responsible for the provision of Globalstar mobile satellite services to end users in the United
States. GCL Licensee LLC holds licenses for Globalstar’s earth station gateway located in
Puerto Rico.
