S.-registered vessels, for operations on a protected basis, to continue communication services to relief workers and persons displaced by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Accordingly, MTN is authorized, on this date, January 9, 2006, to operate a C-band ESV network using a 4.5 meter C-band hub station located in Miramar, FL (25-58-54.6N, 80-16-59.5W) to control five C-band 2.4-meter remote ESVs operating on foreign-registered ships in the Gulf of Mexico, and to operate five C-band 2.4-meter remote ESV’s operations on U.S. registered ships in the Gulf of Mexico. All operations are to be in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in the Commission’s rules and this document. The grant of authority herein is subject to, but not limited to, the following conditions: 1. MTN shall coordinate all of its operations so that no harmful interference shall be caused to any other lawfully operating satellites or radiocommunication system. MTN shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and inform the Commission in writing immediately of such an event. With regard to the terrestrial fixed service, MTN is authorized to operate on a protected basis to the extent coordinated in the frequency coordination interference analysis report at each of the five ports ( Galveston, Texas, 29-18-33.1N-94- 47-44.9W; Galveston, Texas, 29-18-30.2N-94-48-06.8W; Mobile, Alabama, 30-41-11.0N- 88-02-13.9W; New Orleans, Louisiana, 29-56-38.5N- 90-03-40.5W; and New Orleans, Louisiana, 29-56-38.5N – 90-03-39.3W). All other operations are on unprotected and on a non-interference basis and MTN is required to accept interference from other lawfully operating satellites or radiocommunication systems. 2. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special authority is solely at MTN’s own risk. 3. This grant is limited to the authorization of an antenna structure that is exempt, pursuant to Section 17.14 of the Commission’s rules, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notification requirements. 47 C.F.R § 17.14. MTN is instructed to review the rules concerning FAA notification criteria. See 47 C.F.R. Part 17, Subpart B. 4. MTN 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.fcc.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. 5. This STA may be terminated at the International Bureau's discretion, without a hearing, if conditions warrant. Under no circumstances may the facility(ies) authorized violate the terms of an international agreement or treaty. If an application for permanent authority is on file with the Commission, this action is taken without prejudice to that application. The applicant is required to post and/or retain a copy of this authorization as required by the Commission's Rules.
