Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 06-1922 September 25,2006 Levi C. Maaia Full Channel TV, Inc. 57 Everett St. Warren, RI 02885 Re: Call Sign: E060239 File Nos.: SES-REG-200606 15-01023 SES-STA-200606 15-0 1024 Dear Mr. Maaia: On June 15,2006, Full Channel TV, Inc. (Full Channel) filed the above-captioned application to register a C-Band and Ku-Band receive-only earth station. In addition, Full Channel filed a request for Special Temporary Authority to operate this earth station. Pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(l) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. $25.1 12(a)(l), we dismiss both applications as defective without prejudice to refiling. All applicants seeking licenses or registrations for Receive-Only must include all items of information required by FCC Form 3 12 and its associated Schedule B. Full Channel's application, however, does not include several fields of required information, including frequency band and emission designators (See questions E43-E59). In response to question E18 of Schedule B, Full Channel indicates that frequency coordination is not required. Earth station applicants, however, must complete frequency coordination if they intend to operate in frequency bands with terrestrial services on a co-primary basis. These co-primary bands include the C-band and certain portions of the Ku-band, including the bands that Full Channel seeks to operate. Further, the Commission does not license or register receive-only FSS stations operating with ALSAT-designated satellites in the 1 1.7-12.2 GHz portion of the Ku-band. See Deregulation of Domestic Receive-Only Satellite 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 FSS receive-only Ku-band earth stations are protected against interference from the operations of any other communications service. As such, licensing or registering these earth stations is unnecessary. If the proposed earth station will be operating in bands other than the 3700-4200 MHz band, Full Channel should file a license application rather than a request to register this earth station. I See Deregulation of Domestic Receive-Only Satellite Earth Stations, Second Report and Order, 104 FCC 2d 348 (1986), at para. 12.

Federal Communications Commission DA 06-1922 Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(l) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. $25.1 12(a)(l), and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. 50.261, we dismiss both applications as defective without prejudice to refiling.* Sincerely, Scott A. Kotler Chief, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau 2 If Full Channel TV, Inc. refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the missing information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. 0 l.l109(d). 2 - ... -- . . - * .._- - - c - - - * *.- 1-11 c ..I I _ .
