(Telenor)filed the above—captioned application to modify ts Hicensed carth station (callign E980136) o add INMARSAT—3F4 at 142° W.L. as a new point ofcommunication. Telenor lso filed a requestfor special temporary authority (STA) to communicate with INMARSAT—3F4 pending action on the modification application, to allow it t support the Federal Aviation Administration‘s Wide Area Augmentation System. We dismiss the STA request without prejudicet reiling and without prejudice to any action on Telenor‘s modification request Telenor has not submitt the required Schedule B (Technical and Operational Description) in its modification application. Rather,it seeks a waiver of Sections 25.1 13(a) and 25.130(a)ofthe Commission‘s rules, 47 C.FR. §§ 25.115(a) and 25,130(a), on the basis that Schedule B is unnecessary since it does not seck to modify any ofthe earth station‘stechnical parameters other than to repointthe antenna. The current lcense for th earth staion! includes transmit uthority in the 6154,4—6456.6 and 6440.8—6443.0 MHz bands and lists the receive frequency band in the C—Band as 3629.4—3631.6 MHz. The authorization also lists the INMARSAT—3 satelite at 178" E.L. asthe only authorized point ofcommunication. In ts STA request, however, Telenor indicates that it will transmitat6445—42 MHz. In addition on April11, 2006, in reply to Mobile Satelfite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (MSV) comments, Telenor frther clariies that the STA request is solly for the 6445.42 and 3639.42 MHz frequencies. Since these frequencies are inconsistent with the authorized frequency bands in the license, and the underlying modification application does not propose to change these authorized frequency bands, we dismiss the STA request as defective. in connection with any refiling ofthis STA request, please notethatthe Commission‘s deliberations would be aided considerably if the record were to eflect the fll range of * SeeIBFS File No.SES—L1C—19980211—00183.
