Satamatics, Inc. File No. SES—STA—20060811—00795 (Call Sign £020074) On May 30, 2006, the Satellite Division granted Mobile Satellte Ventures Subsidiary LLC‘s request to designate Satamaties, Inc.‘s ("Satamatic") earth station application that secks special temporary authority to provide Mobile Satellite Services in the L—band with Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellte, to be located at 52.75° W.L., as "permit—but—disclose" for purposes ofthe Commission‘s rules goveming ex parte communications. See Motion to Designate Proceeding as "Permit—But—Disclose," filed by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC on May 18, 2006. We find that designating this Satamatic application for special temporary authority as "permit—but—disclose" will fcilitate resolution of the complex policy issues raised by the application. Thus, we designate IBFS File No. SES— STA—2006051 1—00795 as "permit—but—disclose," effective May 30, 2006. See 47 C.E.R. §§ 1.1200(a), 11206 and 1.1208 note 2.

Based on the foregoing, MSV respectfully requests that the Commission designate the ex parte status of the above—captioned proceedings as "permit—but—disclose."
