CALVARY CHAPEL OF TWIN FALLS 4002N 3300E, TWIN FALLS, ID 83301 (208)-733-3133 FAX (208) 736-1958 February 18, 2000 Magalie Roman Salas Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W., Room TW-A325 Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority for Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls to operate the VSAT network submitted in Application for Earth Station Authorizations, FCC 312, File number SES-LIC-19991216-02335 Dear Ms. Salas: This letter request is being filed electronically by Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, ID. Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls requests special temporary authority (“STA”) for up to 180 days to construct, test and operate the VSAT network filed for in December, 1999 (File number SES-LIC-19991216-02335) until such time as the license is granted. For the reasons discussed below, delay in the initiation of the requested temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest. Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, therefore, respectfully requests expedited consideration of this filing so that its request can be acted upon immediately. Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls operates two noncommercial educational stations from studios in the Calvary Chapel church at 241 Main Avenue West, Twin Falls, ID. Calvary Chapel presently operates a licensed earth station from the same address, which provides signals to a network of full power stations and translators nationwide. Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls has just completed a new church and studio building at 4002N 3300E, Kimberly, ID, and plans to move the radio studios to the new building on or soon after February 19, 2000.

Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls applied for the network at the new HUB location in December, 1999. The requested STA is necessary in order to move our satellite uplink station to the new facility. Failure to do so would result in no satellite feed to over 200 stations and translators throughout the USA and would impact a large portion of the public. This request is submitted pursuant to the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120. This request is fee exempt pursuant to the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1114(d). .120 (Fee Exemption Certification attached). An anti-drug certification under 47 C.F.R. § 1.2002(b) is attached. If you should have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Ike Moore Ike Moore Attachments: Fee Exempt Certification Anti-drug Certification Copy to: Jacqueline Ponti
