On March 13, 2006, the Satellite Division granted Mobile Satelite Ventures Subsidiary
LLC‘s request to designate Telenor Satelite Inc.‘s ("Telenor®) earth station applications
that seek special temporary authority to provide Mobile Satelite Services in the L—band
with Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellie, to be located at 52.75° W.L., as "permit—but—disclose" for
purposes ofthe Commission‘s rules governing ex parte communications. See Motion to
Designate Proceeding as "Permit—But—Disclose," filed by Mobile Satellte Ventures
Subsidiary LLC on March 9, 2006. We find that designating these Telenor applications
for special temporary authority as "permit—but—disclose" will facilitate resolution ofthe
complex policy issues raised by the applications. Thus, we designate IBFS File Nos.
