See Deregulation ofDomestic Receive.Only Satellte Earth Stations, Second Report and Order, CC Docket No. 78:374, (adopted March 25, 1986)" Because FSS is the only primary allocation in this band, operations to SS receive—only Ku—band earth stations are protected agninstinterference from the operations o any other communications service.
