On December 21, 2005, the Satellte Division granted Mobile Satellite Ventures
Subsidiary LLC‘s requests to designate earth station applications that seek special
temporary authority (°STA") to provide Mobile Satelite Services in the L—band with
Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellte, to be located at 52.75° W.L., as "permit—but—disclose" for
purposes of the Commission‘s rules governing ex parte communications. See Motion to
Designate Proceeding as "Permit—But—Disclose," filed by Mobile Satellite Ventures
Subsidiary on December 19, 2005 (addressing SES—STA—20051216—01756, SES—STA—

and 1.1208 note 2. This action is without prejudice to any determination regarding the
processing ofthe applications.
